Thanks very much for all the responses. Here's my status: (1) I'm confident this is a problem with the 722, not the satellite, so I unplugged the box from the surge protecter and put it directly into the wall outlet. We'll see if that helps at all. (2) I checked out the HDD temperature...

Thanks KKlare, but it doesn't happen the same time every day ... sometimes in the morning, sometimes evening (actually happened 3 times yesterday).

Heh. Well, after losing quite a bit of recorded DVR programming twice in the same year, I'm tempted to switch to AT&T's new U-verse service ...

Well, that sucks. Second time this has happened to me in a year. Do they at least know what's wrong and have they updated the equipment appropriately?

I am now on my second VIP 722 box and have not had any problems with it for about 6 months. This box replaced a 722 I got back in February; that box was continually freezing up and making it impossible to watch. Until recently, the new 722 worked fine. Now, however, the 722 is almost daily...

I am having a problem with recorded DVR programming freezing about 5 minutes into playback. I have a 722 HD DVR, and every time I try to watch a program I've recorded (whether HD or non-HD), the playback seems to "freeze" after about five minutes. The only way to get out of it is to hold down...

I'll give that a try (can't believe I haven't done it yet). Thanks.

I have a Dish Network 722 HD DVR. A few weeks ago, I purchased a Slingbox so I could watch programming remotely. The Slingbox worked fine until I took it to Dubai last week, at which point it worked when watching live TV, but would freeze up when accessing DVR programming Yesterday, when I...
