As I mentioned on the first topic and again here that is not working. What do you mean a simple timer? I've set timers to record each day as well as tried the auto tune. It does NOT reactivate the program. It records and it changes to the selected auto-tune channel but does NOT reactivate the...

The question was not answered on the first topic. It was very nicely suggested I start another topic because this is related, yet different than the first question I have read all my posts and in no way have presented the idea the Dish Network is, can or wants to do anything personal to me...

No I dont think that at all. I've asked a technical question, not posed a rhetorical query therefore the continual imposition of someone's opinion is rather inappropriate. There is no agree or disagree. watchel's problem is he continues to insist that if it isn't a problem for himself than why...

That is an interesting observation. Maybe, because we 'watch' TV for so many hours a day that explains why we haven't experienced this until recently.

It may be nothing to you, isn't that a rather selfish attitude? Because I prefer to have control and you don't care is of no help or interest to me or to others. You are NOT me. Please stay out of my topics.

You know, I wouldn't care that it did the update but it doesn't return to programming. If the program would simply resume then I could live with the daily auto updates.

What is your attitude problem? It is NOT the same question!!!!!! And I am asking because Dish has made changes and they won't even admit it. The original thread was asking about Dish recording on my DVR, something I had never is 15+ years had happen before. That thread turned into this...

No, not after 3 hours that is the inactivity stand-by, which I have disabled.

I started a previous topic, 'Dish recording on my DVR' and the conversation went toward this subject so here is a new topic to address this. In short, I have a 622 and used to keep my daily program guide update disabled. I just manually did it when the program guide information ran out about...

OH I am not the only one! I've complained to Dish for years about this and they deny it. Espcailly the PPV sports events, they actuallu wake me up at night when they come on yet I can only sleep with the TV on. My locals are all at such low volume you can't even hear them when you change...

Yep, I just arrived home to find my office TV tuned to channel 101 and yes a Merry Dishmas 1 minute greeting recorded. Here we go folks.

Well, now that you mention it Dish Network does have a way to let the customers know about changes and updates-they could record a message on the DVR for us ;) Yes, maybe the auto update topic would be better on a new thread. We've veered haven't we?

Haysoos, I suppose you made my point in a nutshell. Although being able to disable the auto updates serves a purpose for my needs and doesn't create calls to CSR, the sheeple can't figure it out and the company therefore will do their thinking for them. Disabling updates may very well may have...

Thanks for that info Ross and indeed interesting. My 'guess' is that Dish Network is changing their software so they have more control and we have less control-not unlike many things these days. We'll see just how far people will let themselves be pushed-once they finally understand what is...

Thanks Bob but I don't really want or need a new DVR. I am sure the tutorial is informative, although I am far from a newbie. The response I just made to another answer applied to this however, as I had the daily updates disabled and suddenly they became enabled. Seriously, I made at least 10...
