    Vip722k - Pauses

    I have also been seeing pauses when playing back recorded DVR programs on my VIP 722. I noticed the problem after the receiver loaded the L622 software update. playback will freeze for about 3-10 seconds every 30 seconds or so. All remote functions are delayed while it is hung. Being able to...

    No dish service due to snow

    I'm in the Buffalo area. There was only 1/2" or less but it coated the dish with enough snow that I lost the signal for several hours. I will try the dry lube. If that doesn't work I'll look into the dish heaters. Thanks to all that replied.

    No dish service due to snow

    We are having the first light snow of the season in MN, and I see the 1000.2 sat dish is accumulating snow and I have no dish service, just the 015 msg on the screen. The E* dish angle collects snow more easily, whereas with my old D* dish the snow just slipped off due to the steeper angle. My...

    722 DVR playback lockups

    Update: my 3rd 722 seems to be working fine so far (5 days now). As a precaution this time, immediately after the L614 software update completed I power cycled the receiver. I have not attempted to record anything off the local NBC channel yet. The last 2 receivers went bad soon after...

    722 DVR playback lockups

    The 722 DVR totally failed today. Any DVR function gets an Error popup msg that says 'Unable to access this feature at this time','No Data available'. Dish Technical Support appologized again and said they are sending me another receiver. Am I the only one having all these problem???

    722 DVR playback lockups

    ok, here's an update. Dish sent out a new 722 this week. The install went fine, all sat signals at 75%, OTA and everything working, and the receiver loaded the L614 code again. I am seeing the exact same issues with DVR functions. Pause and play live TV (delayed about 3 minutes) locks up the...

    722 DVR playback lockups

    This morning I connected an external USB hard drive and attempted to archive a few of my recordings, this also caused the 722 to freeze. I called Dish and they will be sending me a new 722. My recordings are lost and I get to start over again. It would be nice to know if the DVR failure...

    722 DVR playback lockups

    unfortunately my problem has become much worse. I deleted the recorded programs that were locking up the receiver, and now all of my recorded programs are experiencing the same problem, first audio drop out, then video lockup. And yes, even pausing live TV, then hitting play after several...

    722 DVR playback lockups

    I was attempting to watch some of the recent programs I recorded, and everything recorded in the last couple days causes the receiver to lockup. Anything recorded prior to oct 1st plays fine. I first noticed today when I tried to watch the My name is Earl episodes (NBC sat feed) that were...

    722 and OTA HD channels

    I had the same problem, my 722 lost all OTA's after L612. The fix that worked for me was to cable the OTA direct (minus a spliter), then I did a scan locals. It then found all the locals and saved them into the system. I then cabled the spliter back in and all is well.

    722 TV1/TV2 distribution output question

    I am currently using a VHF/UHF combiner for Inputs 1&3, and it goes the distance just fine. But I have a problem with that when HD OTA goes to mixed UHF&VHF in feb 2009. OT a bit: Beware to anyone that bought a HDTV antenna that is only UHF. Many stations revert to the native VHF stations for...

    722 TV1/TV2 distribution output question

    Thanks for the replies. Can any splitter be used as a combiner by reversing the multiple output's to input's and the single input as a single output? I have been looking for ways to combine multiple VHF/UHF to a single output and found that there are some hard to find product that do this...

    722 TV1/TV2 distribution output question

    I have TV1 set to ch 56 and TV2 to ch 58. I wanted to know if the 722 combines the OTA input signals with the configured TV1 and TV2 channels on the distribution output. so that I would have OTA channels 2-45 plus Tv1 on 56 and TV2 on 58 available on the distribution output. I will try the...

    722 TV1/TV2 distribution output question

    Does the 722 Distribution output carry the OTA antenna signals along with the TV1 and TV2 channels? If not, what recommendations are there for combining the OTA antenna signals along with the modulated TV1 and TV2 channels? I would like to be able to tune all the tv's on the distribution path...

    new DISH customer

    Solved the OTA problem. I had a 5 MHz - 1.0GHz splitter between the diplexer and the 722 OTA input. The 722 local channel search function doesn't work with the splitter for some reason. I directly cabled the 722 OTA interface to the diplexer and re-ran the Local Search and all the locals...

    new DISH customer

    That might have been it, but it's unusual that it is found under the Local Channels menu item. The Chan Display box with the options for Local Sat Channels (HD+SD) and DishHD channels (Enabled) are my current settings. I might have disabled DishHD inadvertantly when trying to get my OTA Locals...

    new DISH customer

    Gary, I had power cycled the 722 several times. I tried all the easy stuff before posting :). No luck. Still no OTA signal. I can wait till the service tech shows up Saturday. I think I have a HW issue. Regarding the missing HD channels from the guide (All chan, All Sub, All HD, lists), I...

    Hello, I had been a D* customer for 12+ years and just made the switch to E*. The 722 and 1000.2 dish w/AT200+SilverHD packages was installed last Friday. When the tech left, the OTA's and all the HD channels and program guide were all working fine. I believe the 722 initially had an L5xx sw...
