    swap HDD in 922 to save recordings?

    navy, i haven't opened the box yet. i was hoping someone could tell me if there is a seal on box, an intrusion switch on the box before i opened it and looked. sounds like you know...do they put tamper seals on the connectors of the drive?

    swap HDD in 922 to save recordings?

    i have an EHD. i was thinking i could swap old HDD into the New machine, then boot it up in new machine, and transfer all recordings to my Ehd. then swap HDDs back, and ship the bad one back, with its original HDD.

    swap HDD in 922 to save recordings?

    i know this is desperation type of thinking... 922 just died. tries to boot, but can't boot. keeps resetting. this was my 2nd 922, and i've only had it a couple months. i can't get to my recordings, since it won't boot. i've tried disconnecting everything and it will come up just long...

    622 completely locked up

    service tech came out and replaced everything but the box, and still had same symptoms. so, i got me a new 722, and everything is working fine. old 622 went bad. the strange thing is how the factory reset gave it completely different failures and sympoms.

    DHPP, Is it worth it or not?

    i refuse to pay for someone to service a their box. for the cost of paying someone to come out, I can just quit and switch to Direct, Cable, or ATT.

    i have the dish 1000 with the quad LnBs. not sure of the right terminology. i assume this is all the right setup, i haven't touched it since Dish installed it a year ago. been working fine until this week.

    622 completely locked up

    Well that didn't work. NO change in the situation. it appears i have bad hardware. One other thing i tried: i disconnected the DP Separator that goes into Sat 1 and Sat 2 inputs. connected single line directly to Sat 2, ran Check Switch, and the SAt 2 showed Good. (all runs today with spliter...

    622 completely locked up

    Did the factory Reset. It worked BUT....check switch shows 'reduced satellites' first time. saved those settings just to see if i could view, and YES, tv works. added local channels and they do not have program guide info, but they do work. External HDD does not recognize either. ran check...

    622 completely locked up

    one more tidbit. when i change to OTA channels, it does the same error flicker, only with different eror message 738 (lost off air signal.) i'm pretty sure this box is hosed. i just need to figure out a way to get Dish to send me a new one without costing me money.

    622 completely locked up

    just tried that with Dish Service...hit menu button during Sat acquisition. Check Switch went fine, all signals good. did a Program Guide Download, and then back to the same locked up Error loop. Here's the kicker: they wanted me to pay for someone to come out and take a look at it($50)...

    Can the second tuner of the ViP622 be split to 2 TV's

    Yes, i did this in my house. beware, the splitter can degrade the picture quality. I have TV2 active to my bedroom and to my office. never need it in both at once.

    Distribute tuner 2 out plus antenna

    carter, i tried what you are suggesting, and i could not get the reciever to see any of the OTA channels. Too many splitters, too much signal loss. i put a radio shack booster inline with the OTA input, and it worked. personally didn't like using that, so i just ran a separate cable from...

    Seagate Freeagent 250 users, any advice?

    OTA, TV2 feed, sat with separator on same cable?

    tsutton, i tried a similar setup, not using a dp44 switch. tried combining the backfeed signal, satellite, and OTA signal all on a single cable. basically, i had too much signal loss with diplexers and splitters, and could not get my OTA to work without adding an inline amplifier. i ended up...

    OTA locals

    i'm having the same problem...are we positive this is the way it is? i had an 811, and my channel guide worked perfectly for OTA channels, w/o local channel subscription. Now my 622 does not work. no one has been able to make it work at all?

    I'm stuck...OTA not working with 622

    OSU, much appreciate the input. your diagram is not quite what i have. my antenna is on the dish has a built in diplexer, so the antenna and satellite signal are combined on the one coax coming in from the dish. So i didn't want to make my original post too long, but i tried adding a radio...

    I'm stuck...OTA not working with 622

    OK guys, forgive me, i've read every thread i can find, and i'm just too new to figure this out on my own. Hopefully someone on this site can see the error in my setup. Terk tv-44 antenna clipped to the dish. Dish 1000, just installed. 622 in dual mode in the living room television in bedroom...
