Thanks for responding Replaced the line filter after the 1st time it rebooted.

I have had Dish for years, upgrading to the DVR, then the HD DVR (722). No problems at any time UNTIL I started using the 722. Since I got the 722, I have replaced three of them for assorted reasons. I have noticed that the newest one (No 4) has rebooted itself 3 random times when the phone...

The average temp is 104, high of 125. I haven't had a chance to recheck the power yet, hope to get around to it this weekend. We really don't have any power problems, the circuit the DVR is plugged into has the TV, Sound system and DVR all plugged in. (All Sony). Thanks Bill

Thanks for the help, I don't think it's a wiring problem but I will re-check it. Since I am not under contract with Dish, they have been great about replacing the unit, which is leased. What I was really wondering about is if there is an inherent problem with these units, sounds like there...

Previous 4. They do different things but mostly all in the above list. Thanks

Does anyone else have problems with the 722? I just ordered another replacement, which I think is the 4th or 5th one since I first bought the HD reciever. Symptoms include: 1 Died completely, no lights, just dead. 2 Recorded programs that were never intended to be programmed. 3 Change a channel...

And for that wonderful pricing we get to see..... MORE COMMERCIALS! Remember when the lure of "pay tv" was, gasp, dare I say it? NO COMMERCIALS? I realize that things change, but hey, it's almost 50 - 50 content to commercials. What a joke! I thank heaven for the DVR and wonder when they will...

If it sitts overnight unplugged, it will come on for a while. I got it working, went to the diagnostic screen and found: High Temp: 116 Low Temp: 73 Average Temp: 102

If sitting inside an enclosure with the Sony sound system receiver and a Pioneer dvd player exposes it to too much heat, yes. That is how the "Professional Installer" set it up originally and I remember questioning him about heat. (I administrator a computer network with 6 file servers. They are...

Thanks. I will re-arrange things to keep the heat factor to a minimum.

Is there an inherent reliability problem with the 722K receiver? I am waiting for my third replacement in two years. The first one developed a mind of it’s own; it started recording random things, then started shutting down. This last one simply started doing a constant shut down. Is there any...

For my first post in this group, I will jump in here with a really dumb question; Does Direct TV have the same issues with stations that Dish has? A year or so ago, Dish got into a urinating contest with Fisher Broadcasting, who owns a number of broadcast TV stations on the left coast. As a...
