    921, 6000 and 622 active simultaneously?

    About including a DISH 1000: I was figuring that it would be required to have enough outputs. With a 622, 921, and 6000, I'd be up to 5 outputs with the older switches. So, unless they wanted to daisy chain two SW64s, they'd have to upgrade me to DishPro. Since one of my receivers is legacy...

    921, 6000 and 622 active simultaneously?

    Excellent - thanks very much. Which orbital locations are you pointing at, though? One of the reasons I thought it might be possible is if the 129 location was only broadcasting the HD channels in MPEG-4 and not MPEG-2. From what I can see on Lyngsat, this is not the case -- the channels listed...

    921, 6000 and 622 active simultaneously?

    After reading various details about the 622, I decided finally to call Dish last night and order the $299 upgrade. I currently have two other HD receivers (model 6000 and 921) and a couple of older SD receivers active. While talking to the CSR, though, they told me something very disturbing --...

    921 not recording (last weekend)

    I thought _this_ was the official support forum, and I did look for any other threads here on missed recordings and this was the only one I found. Has the DBSTalk forum taken over as the official place to get support? I really don't have time to read all the different sites these days, but I'd...

    921 not recording (last weekend)

    I've had a number of timers not fire recently on my 921, and the few that do seem to have the wrong program name showing up on them (though the actual program itself is the right one). I've tried re-adding the timers, but it hasn't helped. I'm now going to try a reboot and see if that helps...

    Blue Lines in Video on 921

    Thanks, Mark - I'll give them a call...

    Blue Lines in Video on 921

    Sorry, Mark -- I'm not up on all the jargon, I guess. What does "RA" mean, and how do I go about that? I guessing it is similar to "RMA", but does that mean I have to send back my unit without first getting a replacement, or are they willing to send me a new unit and have me then return my old...

    Blue Lines in Video on 921

    Mine is showing signs of the hardware problem (multiple vertical blue lines in dark scenes). It's very much like the screen shots that were posted here some time ago. However, I still haven't heard anything about how to get it fixed. I haven't heard back from the original folks I sent the unit...

    Blue Lines in Video on 921

    Does anyone have any updated information on DISH's repair plans for the "Blue lines" problem? I had my unit sent back to me (without a fix) after it sat "on hold" for over a week back at the beginning of March. I was told they would contact me when they had the necessary parts to fix it so I...

    Zero-length and missing recordings

    I also ran into the 2-hour guide problem, but I followed the suggestions mentioned in one of the other threads here and initiated a soft reboot and that successfully downloaded the 9-day guide again during the "Acquiring satellite data" phase. Even without doing that, though, my timers were...

    Warning: Dish not replacing failed 921's

    I sent my 921 in on March 1st, and I was told it would be a 1-2 day repair and then they'd overnight it back to me. A week and a half later, my unit was still sitting on a shelf with the repair "on hold" with no word about how much longer it would be before the repair would be completed. I...

    Zero-length and missing recordings

    I finally got my 921 back (though I had to tell them to return it without waiting for the blue line problem to be fixed), and I tried changing my timers so that the HD recording and the other SD recording started 1 minute off from one another, and my zero-length recording problem went away. So...

    Blue Lines in Video on 921

    I sent my 921 back for repair last Monday (3/1). It was supposed to be back to me by Thursday or Friday, but apparently my repair is currently "on hold" with no solid date for when it'll get done. :/ Does anyone else currently have a unit out for repair? Are you being told the same thing...

    Zero-length and missing recordings

    Thanks for the suggestions, everyone. I did eventually get control back on the OTA timer. I think maybe I was premature about saying the timer was "stuck" and that it really was just still within the extra +3 minutes that it was set to record. The reboot didn't help because it simply restarted...

    Zero-length and missing recordings

    Ever since I got my 921, I have been unable to record "Navy NCIS" off of the east coast DISH CBS-HD feed. It's very strange. I have it set up as a weekly recording and it shows up in the DVR event list and the recordings list, but the length is always 0 on it and it won't play. I don't know...
