Looks like I have this resolved. My Sony LCD came with an Internet appliance for streaming music, checking the weather, etc. I had it in in between the TV and Onyo receiver (HDMI). It must have caused some sort of feedback because after I removed it, the STB reboots stopped. My recording...

That is exactly what I have been seeing (see my SBT Reboot Thread). If you go back and look at the daily schedule for the event, does it show "Stopped by STB Reboot"?

I'll try swapping the HDMI cable but I am not ready to go back to component and optical. My 522 is still working lilke a champ (HDMI) and recording the show fine when the 922 bombs.

Maybe the initial installation was bad? I have a single coaxial feed from the dish to a splitter at the receiver. The splitter has two feeds - one for TV1; one for TV2. Please see the pictures - is this setup correctly?

I thought of that but none of the appliances lost power. I even moved to a different outlet when I pulled the unit out of the cabinet. I thought of this too but the reboots seem to happen only when recording events and the unit is off; nothing should be hitting the HDMI cable. Looks like...

Looks the like HDD high temp is 129 and the low 111. Average 122. Are those numbers in the acceptable range?

I moved the unit out of the cabinet and set it out in open air. HDMI and other cables still reach. Is there a temperature threshold I should keep in mind? I remember seeing a temp on the hard drive but not for the system board.

Thanks for the reply, Lakebum. I thought of that - I am in an enclosed cabinet but I leave the door open and have an exhaust fan. The tech folks @ Dish told me that if it were overheating, I would be getting an different error message. I am not sure if that is true. Just to be sure, is...

I am on my 3rd 922 for the same exact symptom so I find it difficult to blame the unit. Around 50% of the time, a timed recording will end abruptly due to "STB Reboot". I have not experienced this anomaly while watching TV and it does not occur with any regularity. Half of the timers are...

You can match "Royals" on the info - should work fine.

Changed my Sony from "Normal" to "Full Pixel". Much better!

Amen. I really don't understand what they have to gain with this scope of control. No doubt their servers will become overloaded. It infuriates me that I must rely on my slow WAN upstream speeds when I have gigabit LAN throughout the house. Internet speeds should be irrelevant.

I have no way to test but try this: Sling Media Support - Mac Software

Thanks for your replies. I'll give 'em a shot! - Flappy

I can't seem to figure out how to do the old "Dish Pass". For example, on the 522 I had a search set up for "Arizona Wildcats". Whenever my team was playing, the game would get recorded regardless of time or channel. I created a folder for storing recorded programs but want to rename or...
