    Dish VIP Receiver Updates Multiple Times A Day

    ***UPDATE*** Just figured I'd add this since the thread hasn't died completely yet. It took a couple weeks to get this resolved, but it has worked out nicely in the end. I had my tech visit last Monday (18th) The tech couldn't have been cooler. The connection and dish were fine, but that was...

    Dish VIP Receiver Updates Multiple Times A Day

    Made a call and set up a tech visit, they adamantly said they wouldn't replace it with a 722, but I didn't agree to change receivers.. it's just a troubleshooting visit. We'll see how it goes, anyway. Thanks again!

    Dish VIP Receiver Updates Multiple Times A Day

    Thanks for all the replies. Yes, sadly, I know the 622 and VIP's in general are slowly edging to extinction, haha. The setup I have is shared by a multiple family home, we have two VIP722k's and then this VIP622 on two dishes (all legally installed by a Dish tech) I know the Hopper 3 can...

    Dish VIP Receiver Updates Multiple Times A Day

    Hello, I have a VIP622 receiver. It was purchased in 2020 from an online dealer through eBay that was selling 'New Old Stock" receivers, LNB's, etc. The way it was packaged in shrink wrap and was not packed in an actual Dish Network box, seems to indicate a refurbished receiver, but the seller...

    Odd conflict with EHD on Dish 622 receiver

    Foxbat and The Krell, Thanks! I will definitely give that a try tonight, I have a Linux install on a flash drive I've used in the past to look into my defunct Hopper Duo. The drive is in a non RAID enclosure, but I didn't know about those specs, thanks for that too. Funny thing is when you...

    Odd conflict with EHD on Dish 622 receiver

    Hello... a question for everyone. Recently I discovered my 622 isn't transferring recordings to the attached EHD properly. This issue has been going on for months but I didn't realize it until this week, I don't access my EHD very often obviously. I transfer my recordings to the EHD through...

    VIP 622 sunset

    Thanks for that crodrules, always like learning those menu tricks, I've only had the 622 for a year or so. It's a shame they didn't put an update through on all of the non Hopper boxes.

    VIP 622 sunset

    Have a VIP622 that is fine so far as well. There was a software update sometime in late Summer or Fall (2020) that those of us with older receivers may not have even noticed at all. I only became aware of it when I was trying to change the channel when both tuners were recording something. I...

    Listing of what is on each EHD

    Great, and Thanks! That was my thought, made most sense.. but wasn't sure if there was a procedure within the menus I just wasn't seeing.

    Listing of what is on each EHD

    Thank you for putting the idea out there, and may your extension on the project have a far better experience than my experiment :biggrin I'm still on my first EHD but I fully see having many more in the future, always been a videophile and save EVERYTHING... I often go back and watch something...
