    EHD Recordings...........Bye Bye?

    I did PM a DIRT rep, Becki, and I haven't had a response since I gave my account # and phone. I was waiting to hear from them. I hope that the request doesn't get lost. I sure could use the use of those EHD's. Thanks for the responses........... Lyle

    EHD Recordings...........Bye Bye?

    I haven't had the pleasure of trying to request the DIRT contributors yet, so I don't know how to contact them. Do they monitor this thread? Thanks for the suggestion. Lyle

    EHD Recordings...........Bye Bye?

    I just replaced my 2nd Hopper w/Sling in my Family Room. ( The EHD recordings were ok with the 1st Hopper/Sling ) I have another Hopper in my Living Room. In living room and family room I also have EHD's that have recordings from the 722's that were there before the Hoppers. Each are 2T. I can...

    Sound dropping..........

    That is true, but the dropping sound is nil. Until there is a better fix, it's a lot better actually listening to virtual surround, with no dropping, than to listen to nothing and trying to skip around for the sound to come back on. Either way, I'm sure there will be a fix in the near future...

    Sound dropping..........

    Until I get a confirmation from Dish tech reps, I think I have gotten somewhat of a fix for this problem, at least a fix for what I was experiencing. With the help of the Dish people, I tried some things they suggested and came up with something that seems to be working. I went into the "Audio"...

    Sound dropping..........

    I just got 2 new Hoppers with Sling a couple of days ago. I have been having trouble with the sound dropping out when I am watching regular broadcast and recorded programs. I have Opti-Audio cable from Hopper to a JoyTech Control Center 240C to an Onkyo AV receiver. I had no trouble before I had...

    Minneapolis Locals on 129

    I have NO Minneapolis local channels on Dish at all. Called Dish and they said that MInneapolis transmission is whacked for some reason. Hope to have it fixed within 24 hours. We will see?

    722 Installation Summary problem................

    Just for information. I got everything back to normal. The reason, I presume, I was having problems with the Installation Summary indicators was that I was doing a "Check Switch" in DUAL MODE on the receiver. I changed the receiver to SINGLE MODE and did the check and the problem was over. I...

    722 Installation Summary problem................

    I just installed a replacement 722 for one that crashed it's hard drive. Didn't have any problems with the port assignments on the old one. I have included a picture of the new summary and the one on the right ( Satellite Input 2 ) has the problem, I think. What could have caused the problem...

    External Hard Drive Archive Bug Thread

    Just for information. I got my 750G WD My Book drive yesterday. Plugged it in and it worked like it was suppose to. Hurraah! I will just have to be happy with this for a while. Can't just go buy any drive I want to when the spirit tells me, at least that's what I've been told. Thanks for the...

    External Hard Drive Archive Bug Thread

    I did try both ports on the reciever with the same results. I didn't try another cord though because I didn't have any other ones to try. Thanks: Lyle

    External Hard Drive Archive Bug Thread

    Well that's got me baffled. If the ordered 750 works, I will stay with that one for a while. I know I will need another drive before long, and will try your instructions. I wonder if the problem is with the reciever? I have an older 722 that I formatted the original 750G drive, and when I put...

    External Hard Drive Archive Bug Thread

    That's the same one I tried to hookup and was unsuccessful. Did you have to reformat the drive? I gave up and ordered the 750G WD My Book. Remember, I have the Mac problem and had to download 2 applications to be able to reformat the drives as they come from the package. Thanks: Lyle

    Is it possible to link to your test posts? Is there a way to get to them that I am not aware of? It would be interesting to view them at this stage of my game. Thank you. Lyle

    External Hard Drive Archive Bug Thread

    Thanks for the responses. I was searching the E* website and found that "Seagate" Showcase DVR Expander @ 1TB. I then did a search of that hard drive and noticed that it supports Dish DVR's, for real. I don't know what to think about the information that is being spread around. I ordered a...

    I have to vent.............. I have 2 original 722's. I have a 750 GB WD My Book on one of my 722''s. Works fine. Wanted to get another EHD for the other 722. Thought I would spring for the 1TB version of the WD. Bought it at BB. Tried to hook it up and got nothing. No recognizing of the drive...

    ViP 622 & 722 Running Bug Thread

    I have been reading the posts, and one thing that I haven't heard is anybody mentioning "line conditioning" in any reports. I mentioned that I have 2 722's and I have been having most of the trouble with the one that only has a Panamax conditioner and nothing else hooked up for conditioning...

    ViP 622 & 722 Running Bug Thread

    I get up a little early for work, so have a little time to waste before being there at 6:00am. I turned the TV on this morning and as per usual, it wasn't doing it's "thing" with the dropped signal. I wish there would be someone to actually nail this problem down and have a reason and a fix...

    ViP 622 & 722 Running Bug Thread

    I have just about had it too. I have 2 722's and only have the problem on one of them. I really only happens when there are commercials on the screen. The other times, (regular programming) it's alright. I get funny squiggly lines running horizontally across the screen in the center of the...
