    Hallmark Guide Data Wrong

    Hallmark Channel & Hallmark MM have identical listings from Monday (11-19-18) through Sunday (11-25-18) inclusive, plus/minus a few hours at either end. Otherwise the 2 channels look identical all day & night. I'm on the EA and have unplugged & reset the DVR but no changes. It appears Hallmark...

    Missing EPG data for OTA channel

    How do I contact Dish to resolve missing guide data for a local OTA channel. I did post this on a Dish support forum a month ago but never heard back from anyone. The data used to be there a month or two ago. I did find the channel info on a 6xxx satellite channel which means Dish does have the...

    Epix channels missing ?

    None of the Epix channels (380, etc) show up in the guide, but they were there about a week ago. I'm on the Eastern Arc. I searched to find out what happened but got no results. Does anyone know if Diish just dropped Epix?

    Timers different than Daily Scheduled recording

    I'm using a 722K DVR. Last week I used the search function for a program my wife wanted, found it & set it to record. I always verify the Daily Schedule at the beginning of the week & the program was not scheduled. I looked at Timers & it was set to record. Then looked at the guide & the...

    Dish OnDemand stuck on buffering

    I downloaded/recorded an OnDemand TV program a few days ago. I tried to watch it today but about 30 seconds into the program I get a message “Buffering Dish OnDemand Video” and it just sits there. I could not cancel it but could skip back & stop & click on done to get out of it. Or after about...

    20.1 IR Remote - which part number?

    I need a new 20.1 IR Remote & noticed several different part numbers on Amazon & Ebay, such as 180552, 180546, 189582. Is there any difference between these part numbers, such as newer firmware that provides quicker response? Or is it just cosmetic changes?

    Are Internet movies downloaded or streamed?

    Every once in awhile I’ll download a move via the Internet. But is it really being downloaded or is it streamed? Usually it says I can start watching the movie in something like 20 minutes. This could mean it’s downloading or could mean a streaming buffer is being filled up. When I delete a...

    Scheduled program missing in My Recordings

    I have Doctor Who set to record New programs. However I noticed the other day it was missing from the scheduled My Recordings list to be recorded on this Saturday coming up. I looked through My Recordings and it lists the old Skipped episodes throughout the week but stops listing Dr Who from...

    Why no OTA when there is a signal loss?

    I have the 722K with the OTA module. Last night 2 programs stopped recording at 11:40pm due to a signal loss, 1 OTA & 1 Satellite. Also could not access the guide & therefore did not have access to OTA content. However I could watch my recordings. It was this way for about 2 hours so checked...

    Printed TV Listings ?

    What do people use as a written guide, if anything? I do have a bunch of scheduled programs set up to record every week. But I also like to look at a printed guide to see what's new or to schedule a one-time recording for a special program. I used to use the weekly schedule that came with the...

    Event Completed by User 1 - what does it mean?

    I had a timer program that did not record on my 722k. I looked at History Details and it stated: Event Completed by User 1 Start Time: 6:55pm Stop Time: 8:05pm This was an OTA program. I’ve never seen that before. Any idea what it means or what happened?

    Discrete command for closed caption?

    Did Dish ever provide a discrete remote command to enable closed captioning with just one button? Perhaps a command that I could enter into another remote such as a Harmony? The last time I checked no such code existed, but perhaps something has recently been discovered.

    Installation System Info screen

    I just swapped my old Dish 722k with a replacement unit. I took a lot of notes before the swap in case the Restore function did not work, which it did not. On the original DVR Menu-6-1-3 Info screen, the box labeled "b" had 18/49. The new DVR initially had 1/1. After I setup the UHF Remote it...

    Replacing DVR Procedure?

    I am getting a replacement 722k for my old 722k & was wondering if there are any suggestions on how to properly do this. I am aware of individual steps but never saw a step-by-step procedure & don't want to overlook something that may seem obvious. 1) Backup recordings to an EHD. I already...

    Local channels Off Air

    I noticed last night that according to the Dish EPG all my local channels were "Off Air" somewhere between 11:35pm tonight until 2:30am. This was either via satellite or OTA listings. I just checked & they still are. Times vary slightly depending on the channel. The sub-channels seem OK. The...

    Cleaning Remote Contacts

    The Pause button on the 722k remote needs a very firm press in order for it to work. How do you open up the remote in order to clean the contacts? I cannot find any hidden screws. On other remotes that I have owned usually carefully prying the top from the bottom will open them. I've tried...

    Attaching coax to outside

    I would like to re-route my satellite coax. I want to run the coax down the outside of my 2 story townhouse & have it come in where the pre-existing entry point was that was used by Comcast cable. The downspout is nowhere near this area so I’d have to somehow attach the coax to the siding on the...

    Internet Picture Quality

    I have a question about Internet downloaded movies to the 722k DVR. When I download an HD movie it takes a long time. A message comes up & typically states I can start watching in 1 ½ to 2 hours. The last movie it said I can start watching in 1 hour 41 minutes which happened to be the length...

    Finding previously read threads?

    Most forums indicate which threads have new content & also which threads I’ve previously read. But I can’t seem to figure out how to configure these settings on this forum. After I’m done reading threads I can go to Forum Actions & Mark Forums Read. This lets me see the threads with new...

    Missing Guide Data

    I was just looking at the guide on the 722k and it did not go through Friday night, 1-6-2012. And of course looking at future recordings displayed nothing for Friday night. Yet 5 days ago the data was there. Where did it go? The system asked if I wanted to update & I did do & now my scheduled...

    Private Message ?

    I have sent a few Private Messages yet copies of them do not show up in my account. I know people received them because they have replied. Is there some setting that I need to change?

    Reset/Reboot ?

    I’m thinking about using the reset/reboot procedure as mentioned here. http://www.satelliteguys.us/dish-network-forum/239620-722k-freezes-reboots-when-trying-enter.html I have the problem mentioned in “Missing beginning of programs“ and thought a reset/reboot might be worth a try. But I do have...

    Missing beginning of programs

    Sometimes recorded programs get cut short at the beginning. IIRC they were all using the satellite tuners vs. the OTA tuners. And I don’t mean what happens when the broadcasters change times. I typically use the 1 minute early start & 3 minute ending late default settings. IOW the recording...

    Green Pixels Problem

    Every once in a while I get several rows of green pixels at the bottom of the screen when watching a CBS OTA recording. In Chicagoland that is WBBM, 1080i on real channel 12, and it has no sub-channels. Originally I thought maybe a weak OTA signal might be causing this. I realize digital is...

    722k - New or Refurbed replacements?

    I need to get a defective 722k swapped & was curious if most replacements are new or refurbed. What's been most people's experience?
