It is a bios trigger in the firmware for drive, nothing to do with the contents of the drive.

Not that big of a deal since hard drives are designed for a MTBF of >100,000 hours... the sleep mode is more for energy savings.

I have been holding off on upgrading. Finally, on Thanksgiving, I figured I would see what the deal was. So I messaged Dish through Facebook to see what upgrading would run. I needed 2 Hoppers with Sling and 4 joeys. After messaging back and forth over a couple hours while getting everything...

Seagate drives have a utility that you can turn that function off with. Just hook up the drive to your pc and run the utility to switch off sleep mode.

Any movement of the apps for android? Still does not seem to transfer or use explorer on android.

FWIW: I just got a 3D tv not too long ago. While shopping for it, I looked at all the technologies and if you are a stickler for PQ as I am, you will want to go plasma with active glasses. I got the Samsung 7000 series (59") and it looks awesome. The LCD and LED Tvs with the passive glasses...

Ok, I pinned it down to what must be an issue with the encoder at dish.. It was driving me crazy all night making me think my new tv is messed up. I was seeing this horizontal artifact line across the middle of the screen only where there was movement in that area. But if only occurs on FoxHD -...

I have 2 622s that the app sees, I can see the guides, recordings, etc.. when I try to play a recording it asks for the DVR password, where is that? Do I need a sling device attached to them or don't they just do this...

Yay! And for those arguing about whether or not to close the thread.. welcome to America.. if you don't want to talk about it any more, then don't. those who wish to, can. Why must everyone bend to one person / group's will? And we wonder why there is so much war and conflict.. Live and let...
