    Timers that don't show in the timer list but still exist. How to delete?

    Hi Jud, Thanks for the tip. I was able to get rid of all my "missing" timers using the Guide as you described. I had to go out to new episodes as skipped timers did not give me the "Delete Series Timer" option. dare2be: Creating a new folder with the same name does not fix this issue. I tried...

    Timers that don't show in the timer list but still exist. How to delete?

    Hello Jud, I can confirm this issue as I am experiencing exactly the same scenario. I upgraded from a 622 to a HWS less than a week ago. I was learning the new interface and playing around with timers and folders. I deleted a folder that several timers were pointing to. Now those timers...

    Whoops (Vermont & Indianapolis)

    Hi Andy, I'm up in Vermont too. I had my 721 on from about 5:55 to 6:25 & it worked normally. I had it on just one music channel though, so there could have been other channels down and would not have known it. Pete

    921 motherboard identified at CES show

    Hi all, Hopefully this isn't old news. :rolleyes: Via is showing the 921 at their CES show booth as being based on one of their motherboard products. See The Extreme Tech article at http://www.extremetech.com/article2/0,3973,1435696,00.asp . It's a long article and the 921 info is...

    Fast poll that needs your answer!

    I selected Satellite in the poll because I live in Vermont where that's the ONLY option for TV reception! There's a reason Vermont has the highest percentage of satellite users in the nation...

    721 L1.15 Bug Reports

    Re: 721 software update L1.15 Bugs and Problems Hi all, This is definitely a step backward and a take-away. It certainly makes no sense in the absence of name-based recording. A couple of the Monday night football games this season have gone into overtime. 29 minutes wouldn't get most...

    L1.15 is now spooling!

    Re: Discrete power codes. Hi Kent, This is what I'm getting as well. I'm using the discrete on/off codes that have been posted on Remote Central for months and months, if not years. They seem to work with all the Dish receivers except the 721. They certainly worked on my 501. Given...

    Date for 721 Software Release?

    Hi Joe, Thanks for taking the time to reply. You speak very authoritatively on this matter. Are you a member of the E* development team? I would hope they scan the forums, but are probably prohibited from identifying themselves as such. If you are, or any E* developer for that matter, send...

    Date for 721 Software Release?

    Hi all, I respectfully disagree. The code will be the same - all the code for the 921 will be in the 721 code, it will just not be used on the 721. This is very common in setting up any kind of computer - all the hardware drivers are there for both hardware platforms, they are just not...

    Date for 721 Software Release?

    Hi Bill, As I long time cross-platform OS and application coder I would have to disagree. It's been stated on this forum and others from "insiders" that the 721 and the 921 will run the same code. Put simply: the 721 beta = the 921 beta. Two receivers, one code. They are probably now...

    Date for 721 Software Release?

    Folks, I'll tell you the exact date that they'll release the 721 update. I will be the same day they release the code to manufacturing for the 921. It's the same code folks. They're just getting both receivers on the same code base so they don't have to do dual maintenance, which is a very...

    721 bugs & Problems pre 10/1/03 software release

    I've not had too many problems with my 721, but here are some that I've seen: 1) Gradual slowdown of just about all operations; channel changing, guide display, info display, etc. I have to reboot about every other week to correct this problem. The reboot speeds things way up, but then they...
