Thanks!

Here's the latest. Dish sent another replacement, a VIP 211z. Installed it, normal receiver functions, USB drive detected, but still prompting to reformat the drive. --- I had the Dish tech to restart the 211k, since it has built-in off-air antenna but the 211z does not (I get some channels...

...(or not). Probably something in the power supply had degraded (making for marginal voltage), or a component overheating and causing thermal reset. *** When the problem started, I was still able to use DVR functions. Only after my contacting Dish tech support did the DVR stop working or...

Well, I tried calling a different tech. Same result. This tech seems to think that there might be a problem with the drive. However, the previous tech had already arranged to ship a 211z. So, I'm going to disconnect the drive and wait for that receiver. Thanks again for the dialog/input.

He resent an authorization, but he didn't say if he sent a specific one for the EHD. I've disconnected the drive for now (w/o reformat). If you know of a specific tech at Dish who I can speak with, I'm willing to try in order to save my recordings

...feature. All existing data on the hard drive will be erased. I've got a good tech on the phone, and he's taking the time to double check with a higher level tech or supervisor before I take the final step of reformatting the hard drive. ***If anyone else knows something to try, I'd...

I've got one more issue with the 211k. No remote control was sent with it. I have an old 20.0 remote (which works, but just barely on some buttons). Will it work ok with the 211k? -- Any advice on getting a remote from Dish? I was hoping that one would come with the replacement receiver. Can I...

So, the drive from the 211 should work OK with the 211k? I didn't receive any enclosed instructions. I'll probably swap receivers after my kids cartoon end in a few minutes. Thanks for the reply!

...data on the hard drive will be erased." I've been selecting "NO" because I don't want to reformat the drive until the new receiver arrived. **I just received a VIP 211k receiver (not a VIP 211). I seem to remember reading something in the past that HD's from 211 receivers could not be used...

I'm sure that this has been asked already, but my searches haven't turned up what I need. A local store is closing and I got a RCA RCRN04GR remote for $10. It was easy to set the code for my Dish VIP 211. However, there doesn't seem to be 'equivalent' buttons on this remote for 'DVR' or 'page'...

I have tried unplugging the receiver, but it will still take "fits". Sometimes it seems fine, then when you least expect it the thing will freeze up. It's doing other weird things too. We have Sesame Street set to record daily (M-F). One day, it would stop recording every 1 minute...

My VIP211 with EHD is acting strange lately. At times there are 1 to 2 minute delays before a command from the remote control is acted on. (new batteries in the remote - a 20.0 IR) Sometimes the receiver will lock up, do a shutdown and then a reload for no good reason. I will see a message...

EHD = GREAT! PROGRAM PRICING = SUCKS! I turned a 211 into a dvr with a 1TB EHD when my locals became available on the EA in HD. The EHD/DVR functionality with no monthly fee (on the 211/211k) almost makes up for the exorbitant cost of programming.

I was afraid of that! I'll check back in a day or so to see if anyone else has a suggestion, but since you are a founder, you should know as much as anyone. DN96? If so, thanks from EM97

My kids like to record certain cartoons, and on a couple of them I think that there are 50-60+ shows recorded. Their mother set the dvr to record every instance, so I don't doubt that some of the shows are 'repeats', 'dupes', etc. Is there a way to more easily sort the 'dupes' so that I can...

Other than the fact that you are paying for it, I'm surprised that anyone cares about PMSNBC being on anyway.

...prices all these years, we'd probably already be paying close to $1 per channel (after averaging). People who are whining about moving to D* or cable as a result of E* fight with Fox or Disney should just go on and do it. It's sad that tv (especially sports channels) seems to be worth more...

"Moving" Is there a website or other source of information that I could use to find out where to "move" to? It seems that every link that I googled requires a fee or software that I don't have in order to find the dma for a given zip code (or vice-versa) Even if you could have...

Bluefield/Beckley DMA - no ABC, can we get other? ]I live in the Bluefield/Beckley, WV DMA. The ABC station for this area has been in dispute with DISH, and has not ever been made available. Can people in my DMA call DISH and choose another ABC station? I don't care if it's NY, LA, or one of...

61.5 from 24605 Transponders with 0 signal were deleted, all were "transponders" unless denoted by "SPOTBEAM" or "Locked". I haven't noticed any pixelizing or freezes unless there is a fairly hard downpour. Most transponders signal strength meter are stronger on the new 61.5W sat, but not...

Snook, I live in the same zip. WOAY & Dish Network have not worked out their disagreements about compensation yet (at least that's what I hear from someone who knows someone who works at the station). So, there is no ABC (yet) for the Bluefield/Beckley DMA. I think that they will keep...

You got that right! HBO is definitely not worth the cost! It's been a long time since I've seen any of the 'premium' channels in free preview, so I was kind of looking forward to the 'freeview'. I wound up dvr'ing 3 movies, which have already been on 'free' tv (but that I haven't seen in HD)...

If I'm not mistaken, history-I HD may be on a 'free-preview' depending upon your package. I think that preview goes until 7/7, so if it suddenly disappears, that's why.

I can't believe that anyone would worry about losing MSNBC if everything else in a different package works better for you.:confused:
