    Bad network port on 722?

    I did the power plug reset with no luck. I then used the network cable to connect a laptop to the router and the laptop connected fine. I reattached the cable to the router. I was wrong in my original post (sorry) about any kind of indicator light turning on when the cord is in the back of the...

    Bad network port on 722?

    Is it possible the network port went bad on my 722? We had a storm that fried the Uverse internet gateway. Before the storm my 722 would connect via the old gateway. When I plug in a network cable I do get a green led on the back of the 722 to light up. I tried the network connection things via...

    Moving to new house that already has a dish installed

    It would be a 1 TV install. It also looks like there is only one TV hook up in the house in the room we want to put the TV. I appreciate all the advice.

    Moving to new house that already has a dish installed

    As my family and I enter the final stages of moving I noticed that the house I am moving into already has a DISH set up (it is at the back of the property line and I didn't know if it was attached to my house or neighbors). If I bring my 722 to this house can I just hook it up? I know there are...

    Is there a way to stop it from recording these ad's?

    Ice, Yes. I replaced my 722 a few weeks ago and the next morning the "how to..." programs had been recorded.

    VIP722 SW Release L685

    I did a reset after a few tries to download the guide via point dish. That gave me all my guide data back and it also "brought back" all my lost recordings. The dvr must have forgotten it had the recordings. Oh well I am just glad it appears to be working (for now...)

    VIP722 SW Release L685

    I can't seem to get the guide data to load past tonight at 10pm. When I go into the 3rd if I backtrack time the date jumps to 6/28. Rather curious.

    VIP722 SW Release L685

    I got an update (showing L676)as I now have dish cinema and dish platinum on my dish on demand screen, but all of my DVRed programming was deleted and I have extra channels in my favorites. Is this normal?

    Vip 722 Error code 024

    HIFI, The reset fixed things. What should I be on the lookout for if it is a potential failure? Are there any diagnostic programs/menu choices I can use to keep on top of things? Thanks for your quick reply before.

    Vip 722 Error code 024

    I have an antenna that I had been using until my 1 year old decided it looked like a good thing to mess with. If I plug it back in what can I do with it to test things out?

    Vip 722 Error code 024

    When I tried to access my programs via the dvr button on my harmony 550 I get the following "error 024 unable to access this feature at this time. Data not available." I cannot pause or rewind live TV. I can access my dvr recordings by going to "Menu 9-1". I can play a recording but can't stop...

    OFFICAL: I am STAYING with DISH Network thread

    I plan on staying as well. Sure it did stink to lose FX, but for my needs Dish is the best option. Someone had a link to check to see if local fox channel was locally owned or fox owned (and able to be removed). I don't think my local fox channel was on there. It is nice with the 722 to go...

    Upgrade to HD DVR info

    Thanks JAG72. I reread my post and meant to type 12/10... for some reason I thought it was 2010 already. So with that in mind, is 200 bucks still normal or are they getting hosed for some reason. Thanks again

I am not sure of their exact set up (I have dish network). they have a DVR in their bedroom and just a receiver box in the living room. Mom said she called and asked about upgrading the DVR in the bedroom to an HD DVR and was...

    Changed Cable Boxes @ grand parents house

    Howdy. My grandparents are going to be getting an HDTV this weekend. They had an old Scientific Atlanta 3100 (I think). TW swapped out the old SD box and now they have a 4250hd. I wanted to make sure the box was activated before we installed the HDTV. Before I got to the house my mom tried...
