After looking at the chart from Dish for a replacement remote for my 721 I bought two 6.2's on eBay. One had flaky buttons and so the seller replaced it. I now have three 6.2 IR/UHF PRO remotes and only the one with flaky buttons works the 721! That one has the number 131961 on the label...

Sorry, I should have been more detailed. The drive continued to click while connected to my PC and now it is not even recognized by the bios so I am afraid it is beyond any do-it-yourself recovery. Rob

Hi, the hard drive on my 921 started clicking and the machine won't boot any longer. I removed the drive and tried to pull the contents off with Ghost to put on an identical drive I already have, but no luck. The drive is still in warranty and I have received an rma from Maxtor but I am still...

I did a forum search for this and I'm sorry if it has been answered already. I received a letter from Dish warning me that my annual payment is going up again. I don't watch much TV these days and so my answer to them may be to drop to Top 60 with locals. I currently use my 721 for SD...

No, it only utilizes the first 120GB and ignores the rest. I knew this would be the case but the 160GB drive was cheaper than the 120! Rob

My 721's hard drive failed the other day after years of faithful service. 70 hours of programming down the drain, of course. I called Dish and found out I could get a refurbed 721 for $20 but with no way to know if it had a NEW hard drive or not. I chose to fix it myself and know that it...

Yesterday evening when I turned on the 721 it had the wrong time, the date was a day behind and almost all of the guide just said "no data". A power button reboot set it straight. The 921 beside it was not affected. The DVR's and the power inserter for the dish are on a UPS. Rob

Thanks for the replies. I have looked around online and found a Harmony model 688 which apparently has a button layout specifically geared towards DVR use. I can't find any local stores which carry this model, so I may have to take the plunge and order it online. Does anyone have this remote...

I just bought a new Sony 40" LCD tv and I have both my 921 for HD and my 721 for everything else connected to it (also antenna, basic cable, DVD, VCR.) Works fine but have many remotes on the couch now and wife has trouble with this setup. I have started looking at fancy universal...

I just happen to have my old one right here. 24 volts DC and 1000 mA. Rob

It happened again-- When I watched Leno the other night, it happened again! A few minutes into the show it jumps back to the start. When you first start watching if you fast forward it shows only a few minutes remaining. After it reaches zero minutes it jumps to 15,600 minutes and if you...

Just lately I have been having some recording problems with my formerly reliable 721. Some shows recorded in the evening to late evening will have severe macroblocking and loss of audio at times and will even go to a black "acquiring signal" screen. I have noticed it especially on Jay Leno...

My 721 has been very trustworthy for a long time, but I had timers set for the premieres of American Dreams and Clubhouse (both at 8 pm) and neither one fired. I had set the timers off the guide earlier and later I accidentally tried to set a third timer for the same time and I got the warning...
