How good are the transfer rates? How long would it take, for example, to copy/transfer a one hour show to the external HDD? (non-HD content)

The swap button!! Will give that a try! Merci.

I want the recordings to be on TV2 so I am free to switch to any other channel. If TV1 is doing the recording, I get a message to the effect that switching to a different channel will stop the recording.

So I got a 622 VIP receiver. I had the installer set it up so that I would eventually be running 2 TVs. For now, I have only one TV Physically installed. The other end of the cable is vacant until I get a smaller TV for the bedroom. Questions 1. I was told by "several" CSRs that if I need...

Dunno, I have been thinking about the utility of this for a while as well. however, could someone pls. provide info if DISH will do the install, and cover all equipment needed for install within their warranty or would I have to buy additional switches, etc as well?

Great info. Thanks a lot, guys. One more quick Q. If I decide to purchase a 622, will DISH still install it for me, or would I also have to pay for any equipment needed to install?

In essence, there is no way to OWN a 622 other than buying it at full price?

Hmm, why not sell the 942 on ebay for $300+ and pocket the difference between the price and the $200 that DISH is offering. The difference would lie in the answer to the question of leasing vs. owning.

Wow! It seems like it has been ages since I visited this forum, and a lot has changed. I just got off the phone with DISH CS, and basically, here is the scenario: Currently, I have a DISH 942, non-leased. Two DISH 500, one pointing to ? 110 and 119, and the other for Internationals @ 61.5. I...

The square vs. rectangle part is quite understandable. However, when using my 721, I used to get a full screen display without using any sort of stretch mode from my TV. Does the 942 have any similar mode without using the stretch format? I doubt if it has anything to do with the Progressive or...

I am sure this must have been asked by a number of people; Pls. refer to the link if it was beaten to death: I am using the 942 with a Samsung DLP. No matter what format I select, the display is always a 4x3 type in the middle of the screen. . The only way to get a full screen display is...

Interesting!. So this also does not have a slot for a CF card. Rather, one would have to use a USB connection to connect directly from cameras or use a cf to usb device.

Thanks Scott, and that brings me to the next question, which is whether I would be able to do a direct transfer from a 721 or 942 to a PocketDish device (say the 700E)? Also, is 40 GB the MAX size on HDD on the pocket dish? Are these available as of now? Is there a comparison available somewhere...

Does anyone know if I can copy programs from my 721 or 942 to an Archos AV700 100 GB (Archos part # 500717) not as in playing and recording, but direct transfer as if copying to a HDD.

Thanks for the responses guys. I already have the wiring for three cables coming into my home so I doubt if I would need any specific installation unless 942 refuses to work with dish 500 and I have to get a Superdish, which I highly doubt.

So far it appears that 942 is the favoured one. Dish does not offer this for existing custoumers, so it will have to be purchased from a retailer or from Ebay. If I purchase it from ebay, would dish do the installation or would that need to be done by myself? Also, with my existing setup -- 811...

err. meant output. Just debating whether to go for the 942 or 921. Price wise they are quite different with 942 more than two times the price of the 921.

PS: From the picture it appears that 942 has no DVI input, or is it that the hdtv digital input has a dvi convertor?

I have an 811 and a 721. I want to combine both features in one and it appears that both 921 and 942 do the job. The tough question is which one? Any insight into which is more stable? I am quite happy with the 811 but the 721 is my 5th replacement in the last 7 months and I cannot afford to...

Component connected directly to the TV or goes through a receiver? If you have a receiver, make sure the receiver is set to the right output.

I have a 721 and an 811. I am thinking to upgrade to 921, buying it at costco as the price seems reasonable now. Just a quick question on the required switches, etc. If I buy it from Costco, will I need any additional switches, etc. Will Dish support my installation if I use the existing SW64...

Update. All recordings gone now at the most recent reboot as everything halted. Now even though it says that I have 90 hours of recording time left, i cannot record new shows or create new timers. In addition, my favourites list is just a gibberish. Strange characters instead of names. I have a...

Same here with the stated problems: 1. The "can't record" bug. It says that it is recording, but the pvr list shows nothing except ONE recording. 2. Last night, all my drive was gone. Full 90 hours shown on "available" time. A reboot brought back all the previous recordings, but only for a...

These don't work either

Hmm, that's interesting. Unless I have an old manual. I just checked the manual online, and you are right. I will try these codes tonight as well, though I doubt if it will work since I even tried to do the scan, going through all options, and reached at the end of the codes available with the...
