    DirecTV interest in VOOM?

    If Direct picks up Voom, I would move from Dish. I only have time for a few hours of TV a week, and most of that was spent on SciFi and Equator. I also liked Gallery and Treasure. So for the few hours of time I have to watch a week, that matches the few hours of unique programming that was...

    Anyone Experiencing 129 Issues?

    I'm in the Kansas City metro area, and within the past week I've also seen dropouts on 129. On Monday I lost ABC Family HD repeatedly and ended up using the SD feed instead as the outages were very frequent. I checked here right away to see if it was already reported, but nothing was posted...

    Free Receiver of the Week Contest Thread- Satellite AV

    I have an installed Dish 1000.2 and an uninstalled dish-500. The 1000.2 points at 110, 119, 129. If I win an FTA receiver I would be obtaining a compatible dish and pointing it at different FTA satellites to see what I'm currently missing. I would likely stick with AMC 3 for PBS kids Sprout...

    622/722 External HDDs now movable between boxes ?

    The full number including last digit were the same on both of mine. Regarding whether they were past or recent shows, they were recordings at least 2 weeks old that I played back on both receivers. I haven't tried any newer recordings. For drive capacity, one is a 500GB, the other is 80GB...

    622/722 External HDDs now movable between boxes ?

    I can confirm I can move my two external hard drives between my two 622s. (moved about 5 times testing to make sure.) I didn't get a prompt to reauthorize at any time on either receiver. I also have the household code on both receivers, and it is the same code. (as expected, but had to be...

    OFFICIAL External Storage Information

    I copied one show over to drive, then moved it to the second 622 I have. The second 622 complained that it wasn't the receiver matched to the drive, and asked if I wanted it to take over the management of the drive. (It also warned that only one receiver can manage a drive.) After telling it...

    L4.41 Software

    The tech updates site says all 622's get this tomorrow (guessing morning): 8/14/2007: 1000 Software Version L4.41 for ViP 622 DVR Effective Wednesday, August 15th, Engineering plans to spool the FULL PHASE of software version L4.41 for the ViP 622 DVR receiver. This is primarily a non-forced...

    L4.41 Software

    My thinking on making it think it is a 722, is expanded active storage, in addition to any larger archive storage. Since it takes several minutes to copy shows, you pretty much will have to mark multiple shows for copying, and leave it for a while. If there is a larger active storage space...

    L4.41 Software

    Ok, this comment may not be allowed, but, if the 622 and 722 are using the exact same firmware, could it be possible to drop a 500GB drive into a 622 and it then thinks its a 722? I know there are other settings flags, boot code, etc. that determine model and behavior besides just the firmware...

    L4.41 Software

    On the network traffic, if it is checking every 30 seconds, that must be so that the receiver can download any new remotely scheduled shows. (I'm assuming you schedule the shows via dishonline.com when that function is released next month or so, then the receiver downloads the additional list...

    New 622 Feature Coming

    It looks like the Dish rweb site indicates that L4.41 will be partially spooled on the 10th. I likely won't see it until next week since I have newer serial numbers (I didn't get any of the 4.06/4.09 stuff), but hopefully someone with a low serial number will be able to tell us what looks...

    AT&T 622HZ (Homezone)

    I'm wondering if this will have the ability to play back your own music/pictures, similar to the D* HR-20. I think I remember seeing something about this on the non-HD HomeZone unit, but I could be wrong. Since its just a different firmware on nearly the same ViP622 shell, it sure would be...

    I have my ViP622 HDD mounted externally

    Is there any type of warranty-tape on the 622? I'm looking at getting a leased 622 in a few weeks, and I could possibly try a different drive, but not if it requires breaking some seal that could cause problems with a return. (If the seal is only on the hard drive casing, then just...
