    Thanks KAB, consider it shrugged off! Michael

    Salvaging a hard drive out of a DVR

    What is it that you are so unhappy about? I just wanted to know if anyone has successfully got one of these drives unlocked from having the start up in standby set. I have been a member for sometime now, and haven't posted for a while, but never gotten a rather negative albeit nasty...

    Salvaging a hard drive out of a DVR

    I have already removed the drive so they are not pristine. For me it is just the challenge of accomplishing it. Now I am on a mission. Michael

    Salvaging a hard drive out of a DVR

    When I switched to the Hopper I had one 922 and two 722k's which I owned. I decided I could re-purpose their internal drives for my computers. The problem is that they are set to not spin up when power is first applied but rather wait for a command from the SATA controller to spin up. I...

    Firmware update schedule.

    Well that's the response I was hoping for, but it is what I expect from the Dish Engineers! Michael

    Firmware update schedule.

    Well that sure isn't the answer I was hoping for, but it is what I expect from Dish engineering. Michael

    Firmware update schedule.

    Is there a website or post that shows current and soon to be released firmware updates for receivers. I thought in the past I found such a post on SatelliteGuys but I cannot find it now. Michael

    Dish Anywhere won't load with Chrome and Win 8.1

    I found and removed the sling plugin, but that didn't help. Then I uninstalled chrome and reinstalled, now it works. I see the sling plugin is gone so maybe that was the problem. Who knows. The good thing about this as I did Chat in to Dish to see if there was anything going on. The CSR...

    Dish Anywhere won't load with Chrome and Win 8.1

    If it doesn't ask me to install it how can I do it. It worked OK a couple weeks ago, is there a new add on recently to install? Otherwise I probably have it. Or can you install it manually. Michael

    Dish Anywhere won't load with Chrome and Win 8.1

    Mine doesn't ask for any update just stalls. It's funny it works on other browsers and Chrome in Win7. I wonder what is going on? Michael

    Dish Anywhere won't load with Chrome and Win 8.1

    ronjohn, ever been to the surf shop in Cocoa Beach Fl by your name? Where did you find DISH_Anywhere_Video_Player_Installer_2.12.1.exe Google didn't find it.

    Dish Anywhere won't load with Chrome and Win 8.1

    Today I went to run Dish anywhere on my HP laptop running win 8.1 and Chrome browser and it refused to load and chrome shows an error message "Dish Anywhere - showcase has become unresponsive". It gets to the main page with the picture of "Game of Thrones" and stalls. I tried another computer...

    Should I get a 922?

    ChadT41, I'm not sure I completely understand what you have said, however, I do know I have removed one station (National PBS which was grandfathered to me) and added and disconnected one receiver and I still have the superstations. But even if the addition of Hopper to my system could be done...

    Should I get a 922?

    Chadt141 Your point is well taken. Just for your information, adding a new piece of equipment doesn't generate a work order and therefore doesn't eliminate the superstations, I know this because I did add the 612 to my account for my first RV use this year and then removed it. In the past...

    Should I get a 922?

    Although I still have not decided to switch, but the worst that can happen is I would be out the money I paid for it as I could always switch back to the 722k. I have 2 of these and one of them has been replaced 5 times. It seemed to catch every 722k disease that came along. However...
