    DRA "like/dislike" and HD Platinum Channels?

    Yes, Dish Remote Access...sorry for the confusion. What I'm saying is that certain channels are absent from the list where you choose what you like/dislike. It also looks like some channels are in the list that are no longer available on Dish. M

    DRA "like/dislike" and HD Platinum Channels?

    I've noticed that some channels are missing from the DRA like/dislike settings. Most obvious right away were the HD Platinum channels. Is this a known issue? M

    Upgrade from vip622 to 722 - Will Ext Drive Content Survive?

    I just ordered a vip722 (non-K version) as an upgrade from our vip622. We have about 500gb of content on an external drive and I'm wondering if it will survive the switch to a different model DVR. I recently swapped out my old 622 to a new one after it died, and the external hd media came...

    Dish Remote Access Trouble - "Your DISH DVR does not appear to be online"

    I think this may be at the root of my problem. One thing to note is that I ordered a free upgrade to the 722 which should arrive next week. Maybe after hooking that up things will sort out automagically. Fingers crossed.

    Considering switch to DirectTV from Dish - The good and the bad?

    After 5 years with Dish I'm seriously considering switching to DirectTV. One of the main reasons is because of DirectTV's "whole house dvr" feature which allows sharing the content of one dvr's drive with all the receivers in the house. Currently we are using the two separate outputs of our...

    DISH Remote Access - Cannot Enroll Online

    Update: About an hour after posting this thread, I tried the link again and it took me to the dish.sling.com login site. Progress, but now for some reason it's expecting a password that doesn't match my main dish.com login. When I use the password reset feature, it sends me an automated email...

    Our vip622 suffered a hd failure last week and yesterday a Dish tech came by to replace it. After it was up and running I noticed the the media on my external hd no longer shows up as a "my media" link in the main dvr recordings list (along with list of recorded shows on internal hd). It is...

    622 UHF remote, control TV1 functions?

    Thanks for the response everyone. Looks like I pulled a classic case of not rtfm :) Right now we have the 622 in our bedroom and a 211 in the den. What we want is to run an HDMI from the 622 to the den TV (55" 1080 sony) so we can enjoy hd recordings there too on occasion. I guess the next...
