    DISH tech support - Buy an external hard drive for recording after crash!

    I was eventually transferred to an American tech support rep after I spent about half hour with the non-English-speaking one. Nothing against company saving money by outsourcing non-essential departments but I believe there's a problem when *I* as a customer, has to correct the technical...

    DISH tech support - Buy an external hard drive for recording after crash!

    Today I found one of my Hoppers' hard drive has crashed. All of my recorded programmings from last few months are gone! This is actually the *second time* that the hard drive has crashed on my Hopper. I immediately called DISH and asked to speak to Advance Tech Support as they're the team...

    Found 2 DVR 721 receivers in my closet..what to do ?

    I've done some research that DISH doesn't even activate these receivers anymore.... I don't see any listing on Ebay either. One of them is still brand new sealed. I suppose I can take the hard drive out and use them on my computer?

    Dish External Hard drive successfully backed up!

    The original drive was an WD-AV drive, which is more suitable for Tivo. I'm upgrading one of my Tivo's to a 2TB. I can use cheaper drives for DISH's external hard drive purposes. I didn't use Windows to clone. I used hardware-based method of

    Dish External Hard drive successfully backed up!

    I was able to make a backup/clone of my 2TB external hard drive to another 2TB using the hard drive duplicator. All shows seem to play fine. I have not tried adding any new shows to it. Has anyone also done it as well? Is there any technical problem with using the back up drive (since I'm...

    2 Hoppers and 2 Joeys - Will I be audited?

    It's been years since I was called by the audit team. It was not a pleasant experience. I have a 2-Hopper and 1 Joey setup for a long time and had not been bothered by the audit team. If I add another Joey for the 2nd Hopper (making it total of 4 'receivers'), will I be audited? I...

    Roommate moving out, how NOT to lose DVR content

    The account is in my name. The roommate will get her own account at her place. I already have 2 Hoppers with Sling on my account. She uses one of them exclusively. I don't think I can add a 3rd purchased Hopper to my account so she can move it to her account later.

    Roommate moving out, how NOT to lose DVR content

    If there's no 'legal way' of doing it... then it's probably good-bye DISH and hello Time Warner Cable's sucky DVR ! (we get internet/phone through TWC... adding cable in a bundle package will probably only amount to less than $40 a month).

    Roommate moving out, how NOT to lose DVR content

    My roommate is getting her own place and will also get DISH/Hopper service. However, she does not want to lose her hours of DVR programs. Dumping everything to external hard drive won't work since her new Hopper will have different account number and the hard drive won't be recognized. Anyway...

    Maximum manual recording time?

    MTV is doing a "Teen Wolf" marathon next week. Instead of setting 12 timers from the program guide, does the Hopper has Maximum manual recording time restriction if I want to do a single continuous recording of 12 1-hour episodes? I remember trying to do a similar manual recording for "The...

    More DishAnywhere issues

    I would also like to stream OTA sub-channels that don't have program data/guide. It seems the only way to stream them would be to pre-record the channel using manual timer.

    Can't find CSI in the Transfer to EHD screen

    It's been over 8 days since the last CSI recording date. It's been a week since I disabled PTAT AND disconnected the last Hopper (even I made sure to disconnect the antenna first before the switch so the old receiver can still be active for a little longer). Today I put the old Hopper back...

    Both Hoppers with Sling need network connection for DishAnywhere to work?

    So either enable bridging OR have ethernet to both receivers?

    Both Hoppers with Sling need network connection for DishAnywhere to work?

    Just upgraded both of my Hoppers to Hoppers with Sling. I was told previously that Ethernet should only be connected to ONE Hopper. I replicated that set up for the new model. However, the receiver without the Ethernet connection doesn't seem to be connecting to DishAnywhere. So to...

    Fees increasing?

    This is outrageous! It's comparable to them charging $17 for a second 722 VIP receiver. Now Timer Warner's triple bundle price of $89.99 sounds a lot more attractive now!

    Can't find CSI in the Transfer to EHD screen

    I have the exact problem. I went ahead and deleted everything from CBS in PTAT but still can't transfer. I guess I have to wait.

    Restore to Hopper from EXT HD still faulty?

    I lost half of the programs from the VIP722 when I tried to restore them to my Hopper last year (error 04 I believe). Now I'm upgrading again from the original Hopper to the one with Sling. Should I be afraid to restore the program back from the EXT HD to the Hopper with Sling?

    My Hopper would only want to transfer 40% of my shows to external HD

    I'm getting ready to upgrade to the new Hopper with Sling by unloading all the recorded shows from the Hopper 1.0 to an external hard drive. But the strange thing is, the show listing stops at perhaps 40% of the shows. I can tell that's where the scroll bar stops on the right hand side and...
