Go to the thread on external hard drives. My problem turned out to be a bad superblock for the partition. In order to clear it I had to get into Linux and use testdisk and after it recovered the partition, I had to copy all the directories in that partition to a new hard drive that the 622 had...

I appreciate Matt putting all that in one document. If you read my past posts to this forum, what Matt shows in his file is what I had to do to fix my problem. Except that after I ran the e2fsck with the superblock info from testdisk I had to copy it to a blank drive that the 622 had just...

I'm using PC LinuxOS v9.0. It does recognize the ext3. The other two partitions on this drive are ext3. This problem partition, it just doesn't know what to do with it. It was formatted by the VIP 622 several months ago and within the last couple of weeks, became unusable.

I followed Train99's advice and reformatted my fat32 drive as NTFS and to my surprise, the 622 DVR did ask for it to be formatted and it worked! Thanks! So after I sent a DVR event to the drive, I put it back on my PC on looked at it suing PCLinux. There were 3 partitions, two (500 and 212...

Train99, were you getting the "feature not supported" message too with your WD drive? Are you running L621? I have another WD drive that was formatted with FAT32 and I put it on the DVR and still got the "feature not supported" message. Does it make a difference between NTFS and FAT32?

I have two of the WDElements drives. One I used for the DVR, the second was for my PC. I took the second one and connected it to the DVR and it did not ask to format it. It gave me the same "not supported" message. I then put it back on my PC and it was still working fine. My point here is...

I recently started having this same problem with a 622 and a WDElements hard drive. The hard drive had been working great since I bought it last November. Now all of a sudden I get the "feature not supported" message. I was thinking it was because of the last upgrade to L621. Dish of course...

No it is something about the WD drives. I have a Maxtor that works on both receivers and two WD drives. One of the WD drives I use with my PC and I verified it works, and connected it to the 622. It gave me the same "feature not currently supported" message. It did not ask to format the...

I've already called dish once and they didn't have an idea and at that time I hadn't tried the WD 750 on my other 622. The WD 750 was connected when the update was taken.

I have a WD WDElements 750 GB ehd. It has been working fine since I bought it last November. My 622's got updated to L621 on 6/16/09. Now when I try to look at the contents of my WD drive it says "This feature is currently not supported". The 622 recognizes when I connect and disconnect the...

Last night we were watching "House" on Fox. I had two 622's record the event, one using satelite 61.5 for HD and the other using OTA for HD. Both events had significant pixelation and drop outs. On the TV connected with HDMI, the screen would turn yellow when the signal was lost. There was...

I have this problem too when there are storms in the area. Last night we had some severe thunderstorms. I was watching stuff on my DVR that had been recorded at a time when reception was great so there was no problem with the recordings. The problem is that while I was watching the DVR...

One of the two 622's I have now has L617. We noticed it yesterday afternoon although it may have happended Friday. That is when we noticed a hung quide download. It never did finish from Friday till Sunday when I finally rebooted. Another thing that happed was that the sound to the HDMI...

Has anybody been able to get the slingguide to work on a PDA running Windows Mobile?

The sling box thing is supposed to allow us to watch our DVR on a computer or phone at some point in the future - right? But still nothing exists to connect one receiver in a house to another to watch the DVR on the other receiver? It seems this capability would be easier to implement than the...

I think that did it. Now I see the "My Media" as a folder in the internal DVR recording list and in the EHD I see folders only if there are two events with the same name. I was hoping that I would be able to create and name folders and put events into whatever folder like on a PC. I guess we...

I just noticed I have 616 last night. I do not see folders on the EHD or a way to create them. I can see how to group in the normal DVR section but it has no effect on the EHD. I've done several reboots including unplugging for one minute. Please help. I have two 622's in the Austin, TX area.

I heard that phrase used to describe a panel in my master bedroom closet where all the phone , ethernet, and cable wires come in. Then there are hubs and power in the Q box to where I can send the phone, ethernet, or cable to particular rooms in my house that are all wired. For my DSL, this...

Is this Sony receiver just for surround sound or just audio of some kind? If so, connect the DVR to the TV via HDMI and use the TV audio output to the audio equipment. Then turn of the TV speaker.

"They're not duplicates, no bandwidth is wasted. The 9000 series is the HD block, more or less. The lower channel #s are SD. The system is set up to show that lower number in both SD & HD versions, so you can pick which to watch/record, and still be located where you're "used to" seeing the...

Is the onscreen guide for the new HD 401 Golf Channel working for anyone?

Yes this is a great day. For some golf tourny's we could see rounds 1 and 2 in HD during the week but rounds 3 and 4 on the weekends would be SD because VS hogged the shared channel. Now I don't have to see any more dead animals on my TV! Program information would be nice though!

HOA's also can not make you pay more for installation in order to move the dish to the back of the house, which would require a new grounding and tieing the ground to the electric service. I got out of that by quoting NEC guidelines for proper grounding of the dish. Mine is mounted in the...
