Hi Stormbo, I`m having the same problems as you. I had a 722 with the latest software L617RJQB-N, installed on 2/7/09 with Temperature readings of H-136, L-73, Avg-73. Just checked them 3/6/09 and my Temperatures have not moved a degree in a month. 2 weeks ago I installed a fan to get heat out...

Hi Smith, P. I thought they were covering the 622, not the 722, my mistake I was wrong, and I`ll stay off this thread. I also wanted to thank all the guys that helped me and I don`t feel that was a mistake by including it in this thread. Skip

VIP 722 Noise -- Hot ? Hi, on Feb 7,`09 Dish Network set-up their system with the VIP 722 and software L 617. I agree with all of you that this DVR Fan & Hard Drive should not have to run 24 / 7. I don`t know how they expect to cool this unit the way the case is made, not enough venting slots...

Hi, do you know what is considered a Normal Running Temperature ? Also what is the Normal Stand-By temperature. Got our system a week ago VIP 722 did not subscribe to the High Definition. Unit was in a homemade cabinet with screen doors on the front and completely open back, moved unit to the...
