    Program guide only from 110 possible?

    I bet the dish was pointed at 129, not 121. Guess I had it wrong in my head.

    Program guide only from 110 possible?

    So I dug around and found enough cable and barrel connectors to run another line. I did a check switch, and now it is reporting that both satellite inputs, 1 and 2 have only one port, they are on 110 and they are OK. Of note, they are now reporting DP Dual. that is what I thought they would be...

    Program guide only from 110 possible?

    We just got a new roof, and the installers had to remove our dishes. I have an appointment scheduled to reinstall the dishes on Tuesday. Unfortunately, I just found out that the Emmy Awards are being broadcast tomorrow. Recording them is an import thing to do in our house. So I have about 24...

    722k locking up everyday after looking for system update

    Good idea about disconnecting the EHD. I will give it a try. I just watched it crash. gave a dialog about shutting down, seemed to go into screen saver mode where the message jumps around every few seconds, then the message just froze and the EHD is blinking like an error state. I will unplug...

    722k locking up everyday after looking for system update

    How do I get a hold of the DIRT team? And does anyone know if it is possible to turn off the daily check for updates?

    722k locking up everyday after looking for system update

    I recently changed my schedule, so I changed the time of the daily system update check to 4:30 pm. Now everyday, it is locking up right after the check. I have to push the red button to get it to work. I also have to unplug my hard drive so it will work too. What is going on here? If I must...

    moved shows to ehd on 722k and they're missing!

    This happened to me a while back. There is a 1000 (or 999) limit to the number of show that will be displayed from a single drive. I had a whole bunch of standard def shows recorded from the last few years. Plenty of recording space on the drive but limited by the actual number of shows...

    External hard drive question 3 of 3: Portability

    I now have 3 2-tb hard drives for my 722k full of programs that I would hate to lose. If I get a different receiver, will these hard drives still work? For example, if my 722k dies, and I have to upgrade to a newer receiver, will I still be able to watch the shows I have recorded? Are the hard...

    External hard drive question 2 of 3: Swapping

    I now have 3 2-tb hard drives for my 722k. What is the best procedure for swapping them in and out of the DVR? I get kinda scared just unplugging one and plugging in another. And sometimes, after plugging in a different HD, the receiver never sees it and I have to do a complete reboot. Is there...

    External hard drive question 1 of 3: Backup

    Is is possible to create a backup of an external hard drive from a 722k? I have a couple of hard drives full shows that I would hate to lose. Has anyone successfully cloned an external hard drive? Thanks

    1000 show limit on 722 external hard drive

    This one is a 2 terabyte drive. And yes, it is mostly filled with 30 minute sd shows. Mainly Disney Channel shows. We have a complete collection of Hanna Montana, Jonas Brothers etc. We also have all of the Phineas and Ferb, but they are pretty good. There are a few 2 hour HD movies as well...

    1000 show limit on 722 external hard drive

    Problem is that it is difficult to change discs. If you could change discs with a usb switch or even better, just have them all online at once with a usb hub, then this would be a fine alternative. As it is now, it really doesn't work well. I can not let my children swap hard drives, for example

    1000 show limit on 722 external hard drive

    Don't know if this has been talked about before, but there is a 1000 show limit on a 722 external hard drive. I copied over a bunch of shows to my rather full external hard drive, and they all disappeared! They were erased from the main 722 hard drive, but they were no where to be found on...

    OTA questions. In guide? 2nd and 3rd channels?

    now that is a different take on it. What determines whether the information on the other channels will be in the guide or not? Is there a list anywhere?

    OTA questions. In guide? 2nd and 3rd channels?

    I have never really thought about getting OTA until I found out the some of the stations in my area broadcast some nice reruns on their 2nd channels. Some quick questions. If I get an OTA module for my 722k... 2) are the 2nd and 3rd OTA channels available too? 1) will the 2nd (and 3rd)...

    sling adaptor + external hard drive on 722k

    quick question that has probably been answered many times, but I can't find it :( On a 722k with and external hard drive, can you attach a sling adapter? Looks like there is only 1 usb port on the back. Will a simple usb hub solve the problem without adding other problems? Also, can you...

    Dish 721 error smart card not authorized...

    Personally, I expect my 721 to continue to work as it currenlty does, because I have been paying an extra $1 or so each month for the extended warrentee (At least I think I am) As long as I am paying that, I expect my machine to be fixed at no cost to me. Swapping out my unit for one that...

    Dish 721 error smart card not authorized...

    I can confirm this. I do not have 61.5 or 129. I do have 148 though. I have seen this problem 3 or 4 times now. No problems with recorded programming FWIW
