    Upgrade 622 w/ext. hard disk to hopper?

    Well, yes and no. I'm not about to remove or install dish(s) myself, but I can certainly swap out a switch, LNB or receiver. How do I plug my existing three dishes with three Dish Pro LNB's into a Hopper node?

    Upgrade 622 w/ext. hard disk to hopper?

    Can I swap out the 622 for the 922K and not have to mess around with my switch and dishes?

    Upgrade 622 w/ext. hard disk to hopper?

    So If I cannot get the Hopper from you without your tech, is there an alternative DVR that I can upgrade to that doesn't require a Dish tech?

    Upgrade 622 w/ext. hard disk to hopper?

    For the past few days, the video seems to be weak on my 622DVR, (it either doesn't display at all or it looks a bit like tracing paper is over it). I can fix it so far by turning the DVR on and off and on for a while and then the picture looks fine. I suspect that it might be some part that's...

    622 with myDVR expander hard drive problem

    Just got off the phone with Dish. They suggested waiting 24 hours to see if it resolves itself, and did not know any way to "rehit". They said reauthorizing was for 211's not 622 DVRs.

    622 with myDVR expander hard drive problem

    I have a 622 with WD myDVR expander HD (officially supported by both manuafacturers) that was working flawlessly and now when I try to copy something from the internal HD, it displays a messae that the hard disk needs to be formated in order to work. The same message I got when I originally...

    Trying to understand PTA

    That's interesting. I suppose this technique could be used with other combos to increase VOD (like recording 4 HBO channels for example), and lessen the need for more hardware tuners? Too bad its only spot beam though.

    Trying to understand PTA

    I'm in South Florida. Is it a spot beamed transponder for PTA? I know all my normal HD locals are spot beamed, only SD is not.

    Trying to understand PTA

    I've been thinking of upgrading to a Hopper but wanted to understand how Primetime Anytime (PTA) actually works. It is my understanding that one of the hopper's tuners records all four networks during primetime hours. How does this actually happen? Are all four networks "multicast" and...

    Hopper PTA

    I know DirecTV has them, its just that I don't want two satelite services on top of cable. I'm a TV nut but not that crazy! Dish switched me to the Western Arc for some reason, and I have to say except for the locals, things have improved receptionwise.

    Hopper PTA

    That's too bad, I guess I'll have to keep getting them from cable. It seems like such a waste especially since you can get most of the stuff over the internet now through DishHome/Blockbuster/Hulu. I was just hoping to consolidate my DVRing into one box.

    Hopper PTA

    I was reading a review of the Hopper on another website and it mentions that the Hopper records all of its PTA programming from one transponder. Does anyone know if this single transponder is available everywhere? What satellite is it on? Although I can get SD locals without trouble, the...
