    722k rentals disappearing bug

    It happened to my 722k a few weeks ago. I reported it to Dirt and got the impression there wasn't much they could do, but then suddenly one day I checked and everything I had downloaded from the past month was there.

    External hard drive sort type

    I figured what to do and will answer my own question just in case someone runs into this problem. . Apparently the external hard drive group/sorting is controlled by the "My Recordings" groups sorting. I have seen that group button for years and never paid attention to it. So either when I...

    External hard drive sort type

    I just received a replacement VIP 722K, and when I hooked up my external hard drive the sort type changed. It used to have folders for programs that had multiple shows recorded and now all the shows are listed individually by date. I can't figure out how to get the folder view back. I'm have to...

    Dish Network still sending out 722s??

    My VIP722K failed last Monday, I called Monday night and a replacement was ordered. I did receive a 722K on Thursday, a refurbished model and it was DOA. It would not start up and was doing the same thing my original unit was doing. I called in again and a tech was sent today, luckily he had...

    getting programs off dvr

    However, if these are movies and shows from premium channels like HBO, the DRM may kick in stopping the DVD recorder from recording the shows. At least with my recorder it will work with network shows but try to record a True Blood or movie and it shuts down after a few minutes saying the...

    Dish on Demand issues

    I did get in touch with Mary, it's her feeling that it's a problem with the particular programs I am trying to watch and she has sent in a report. I have found some episodes that do work and others that do not, so it's very hit and miss. The particular shows I have had issues with is...

    DVR Alert Thread

    Be careful If you are planning on recording the George Harrison 2 part documentary on HBO. My 722K treated part 2 as a duplicate of part 1. I had to manually restore it.

    RV & Pay as you go question

    I was looking at the Dish website about the pay as you go program. What I am unclear about it the equipment requirement. It talks about needing a mobile HD receiver like the 211K. I don't have an HD TV in my RV, and I have hidden away the first receiver I bought when I first got Dish: a...

    722 USB Wifi

    I have a D-link wireless bridge DAP-1522. I connect to my 722K then via an Ethernet cable. It has 4 connections so I also have my Blu-Ray player connected so I can stream You Tube, Hulu Plus ect. Works well for me, as I use my rear USB connection for the Sling Player and EHD connected via the...

    DISH Network’s ViP722k receiver only outputs 1080i with 1080p VoD

    Not that this garnered any interest, but I did download Hall Pass 1080p and it did seem to display correctly. I also found that for what I want it's not big difference between the 1080i and 1080p, I'm just happy that my TV was able to display the 1080p correctly. Not sure why True Grit didn't...

    DISH Network’s ViP722k receiver only outputs 1080i with 1080p VoD

    Similar 1080p VOD problem. I am resurrecting this thread as I have a similar situation and to be honest I never did understand what the final answer was except the OP apparently never got the 1080p to work and I guess canceled his contract. I decided to take advantage to the July .99 cent...

    DISH Network Offers 99 Cent Movies in Celebration of Independence Day

    Having the everything pack I have become accustomed to waiting many months till the movies become available on HBO, showtime... ect. There are certainly times I would like to see a movie sooner, but I'm just not willing to pay $6.00-$7.00 just to have the convenience of not running up to the...

    Initial reaction on Sling Adapter

    Dishonline worked for me on Thursday, but not yesterday. Tried again today and still could not play my DVR on my laptop. After going for chat support they said to use remote access which then did work.

    No extended program guide information

    Came home to try rebooting and running the check switch and found everything was now OK. The program guide has the new look and the HD only option so I'm thinking the upgrade occurred last night and not everything had updated yet. I'm just glad it seems to be fixed now. Thanks for your responses.

    No extended program guide information

    I have a 722K, and I woke up this morning and found both tuners had been recording for the past several hours, and there was no program guide information past the current hour. I tried unplugging it for several minutes, rebooting the system from the front panel, and while I seem to be getting...

    DVR TIMERS OUT OF SYNC WITH PROGRAMMING

    But why is that? It's not a secret the networks no longer start and end their shows on the hour anymore. If you look at TV Guide and check the schedule for say next Wednesday for ABC , it shows Wipeout starting at 8:00 and is 62 minutes long, the next show starting at 9:02pm, The show after...

    DTVPAL DVR now sold out. I tried ordering the DTVPal DVR on 2/15. I was told it would ship the next day and to expect it within a week. The charge showed up on my card within the week, but nothing arrived. I called on 2/23 and was told it could take up 10 days to arrive but I would have it...

    SD OTA DVR Options

    I have SD TV and 625 DVR, which was great until the Fisher dispute occurred. My wife wants me to find a non VCR solution to recording the ABC shows we like to watch. I know the newer HD DVR's offer OTA recording, but a: would Dishnetwork lease me a receiver if I didn't buy an HD package? and...

    figure this timer problem out

    The same thing appears to be happening on for the SD version of Stargate Atlantis too. I have my DVR set up to record new episodes only too, and up until Thursday 01/08/09 @ 7:00 am they all show up as skipped saying not a new episode. After that there is no status at all on any of them...

    I tried contacting Dish and got this reply back and this person didn't seem to know anything about this being a previously existing problem: Thank you for your email. We apologize for any inconvenience this issue has caused. DISH Network does not have control or the right to change the volume...

    volume on locals suddenly very low

    I noticed this same problem a few weeks ago, but so far there has been no improvement. Has anyone received any updates about a solution? I'm surprised there hasn't been more people affected.

    Dual tuner DVR for one TV?

    I wanted to report back that I received my 625 upgrade yesterday, and it worked exactly as the two replies said. The single mode does exactly what I want, the when the installer came we replaced my legacy LNBR's with Dish PRO ones at no extra cost. My big gripe is with the 2 customer service...
