Sorry......VIP 211, western arc, 1000.2

Western. Not sure what you mean by 'what's my set up'. Dish to the receiver.....pretty straight forward.

First my local HDs went out, then all HD, then all channels. I now have nothing, no signal strength at the receiver yet when I connect a peaking meter at the Dish I have good signal strength. When I move the Dish of course the strength varies as I would expect. I ran a new RG from the Dish to...

Pretty sure I got this problem corrected, thanks to all. I got a 2tb Seagate that seems to work nicely. Recorded a test 15 minutes or so and it played back without a hitch. I would like to ask of those that use a similar set up.....does the hard drive run non stop? Mine runs constantly, even...

Please help me understand as all I have read, including Dish's own statement, is the drive has to be 1TB maximum. I have the VIP 211.

And I would mind replacing it....the problem is I have not been able to find a 1TB drive that has an external power supply anywhere. Everyone has gone to 2TB and higher. All of the 1TB drives I find are the portable, USB powered type. The one I'm currently using was fine in it's application...

Yes.....same problem

I have done that. All that accomplished was to restart the receiver.

Good day, I recently added a WD 1TB drive to the 211. Installation went fine, I made a test recording, 5-10 minutes and it played back fine. Sunday night I recorded Vinyl, a 2 hour show. As I am watching it the video stops, freezes, as if I had pressed pause. It will stay for a few seconds to...

I'm not. And no, the 865 doesn't and I really don't care when using it for time shift. The picture quality is fine in SD for this purpose. Curiously though, the 557 does have component.

So sorry......operator malfunction. I found it. It's sitting under the ethernet port so I missed it.

Oops.......I may have spoken too soon. I have no USB port on my receiver.

No shite........I did not know this. I'm surely going to look into this. Thank you very much. You guys are the best.

The 211, at least my 211, doesn't have a DVR built into it. It's just a receiver.

Any one I've tried.
