There are several threads that address replacing the HHD in a 722 but I did not have any luck with either a Western digital with exact model but end suffix (in fine print) slightly different or a Seagate of the exact model shown on the approved list. Some have successfully upgraded the 622 to...

Smith, P. has a good idea with his design for cooling 622/722, too bad Dish doesn't take it to heart. Still can't imagine it being better to have all of the unhappy customers than to use a good cooling design. At this point I would like to keep the highest temp under 115 degrees for a normal...

My experience has been that with the built in cooling design of the 722 you will likely have a premature failure, probably of the hard drive. I managed 15 months on mine before I started getting the various messages that hard drive had failed. The unit had always operated in the open and at...

The large filter capacitor I referred to does not have any exposed metal on my 722 and it measures 0 volts to chassis ground. The many smaller capacitors on that same board have metallic centers showing but also measure 0 volts to ground. There are some component ends above the board that...

Not at 24 volts DC and not if the case is insulated as it is on the 722

The large capacitor being referred to is to filter the DC power being supplied to the components on the 722 circuit board, the highest DC voltage being developed is 24 volts. Besides that the case of the capacitor is insulated and the only place to contact live voltage is on the under side where...

Thanks again Smith,P. I'm a little slow quite often, kept looking for the Pg keys label and did not see them where they are.

Thanks for the reply. The problem is that I can't get out of the right hand column and so the PgUp/PgDn just moves from counters to analysis to done to help etc.

Can not counters function to the point where I can scroll the counters, curser will not move over to the column to scroll the counters

HansenFarm Appreciated Smith,P.'s advice about hard drive problems with 722. Had ordered a WD that was exact same model as original but did not have the 57... suffix and it did not work. Just received a ST3500830 from Computer Geeks and it formatted and works fine. Will use the WD in an...

HansenFarm Just purchased a Western Digital with exact same model numbers as original for my 722 from Amazon.com for around $70. Have not been able to get unit to accept the drive after numerous re-boots , cleanings, etc. Dish technical is no help because they say I will void the return...

HansenFarm Am planning to build a top cover with at least one cooling fan thermostatically controlled for my 722. Had hoped someone would come up with a ready built solution. Hard drive lasted 15 months on an otherwise well functioning 722. This is not acceptable considering the actual time the...

Jim 5506 Thank you for the help, works great

For levibluewa Located west central Illinois. Finally got DishNetwork to turn on HD functions(they didn't want to talk unless I had a 1000.2) and am doing very well with old SuperDish and two leads from sw34 plus off-air locals. Obviously don't get some HD channels but am working on hook up...

Connecting ViP722 to 1000.2 dish, only receiver on this dish. Should TV1 and TV2 each be connected with with separate wires to LNB( left two outputs) or use one lead with splitter as instructions imply? Splitter decreases signal strength. Have two leads to DP34 switch on Dish500 and it works...
