    Updated 622 External Storage Information

    Can you only MOVE movies and shows from the DVR's hard drive to the USB drive? Can they be COPIED, not MOVED, from the DVR to the USB drive? The USB drive can't be used as a true archive if you can only move stuff to it. I had a 622 that crapped out and I lost everything on the DVR's hard drive...

    Does the VIP622 come with a HDMI cable?

    Hi. I am getting a VIP622 installed this Saturday. Does this receiver come with a HDMI cable in the box? My 625 receiver came with coax, RCA, and s-video cables in the box. I just wanted to know if I need to go out tomorrow and pick one up before the installer gets here on Saturday. Thanks.

    Upgrade from a 625 to a VIP622

    Hello. I currently have a 625. I bought a new HD TV and now want to upgrade my 625 to a VIP622. Would they just swap out the receiver? Do I need a new LNB or dish installed. Thanks.

    Dish 625 Remote (Green) Not Working

    If I have to purchase a new remote via eBay would it make more sense to purchase a green or blue remote? I know you can setup two blue remotes to work with Tuner 1 and Tuner 2. If I throw away the defective green remote, purchase a new blue remote, and configure it for Tuner 1, here is my...

    Dish 625 Remote (Green) Not Working

    All buttons on the remote are dead. When I hit TV, SAT, etc. nothing lights up at all. It is acting like it doesn't have any batteries in it.

    Dish 625 Remote (Green) Not Working

    Hi everyone. In June I upgraded to a Dish 625. While using the Dish Green #1 remote today it suddenly stopped working. Completely dead. I replaced the batteries and nothing. I took out the batteries, let it sit for a few hours, and put new batteries back in. It is still dead. So what is the Dish...

    Leasing a 510 - Remote Control go bad

    I have had a 510 for about 2 years. The SAT button at the top of the remote is no longer working. Since I am leasing the 510 from Dish Network should they replace the remote for free? Thanks.

    18-month Commitment

    Hey everyone. I have been a customer for 4.5 years. I originally had two 301 receivers and about 2 years ago I upgraded one of the 301s to a 510. Now I am interested in trading the 301 and 510 in for a 625. I have a couple of questions. The web site says that for $49 I can trade-in my 301 and...

    522 hard drive upgrade

    I think one of the concerns is that the faster 7200 RPM hard drives run hotter than the 5400 RPM drives they ship in the units. The 7200 RPM drives will more than likely make the unit perform better, just like in a computer, but the unit may not be able to cool itself properly and overheat. Just...

    18 more days to get NBR on 508's

    I have a 510 and it seems like I have been waiting forever for NBR. I could have used it last night. We had a weekly timer setup for the Amazing Race. Last night was the finale and it was 2 hours instead of the the typical 1 hour show. We were watching it live and after the 1st hour the...

    What kind of upgrade deal can I get?

    Hi. I currently lease a 510 and a 301. I would like to upgrade to a 625 setup. I see that dish will upgrade me to a 522 for $100. Will dish give me credit for the two previously leased 510 and 301 receivers I have? I will need some wholes drilled and lines run, is that covered with the free...

    Dish remote code for new LG plasma

    Why doesn't dish network come out with a learning remote control? Having one of them would prevent problems like this from ever happening.

    Any alternatives to the 522?

    I have had the 510 since last September and have never had a single problem with it. Never had any audio dropouts, no video problems, nothing. We record stuff every day and it always works perfectly. The only drawback is that it has a single tuner only. Name Based Recording is coming to this...

    Dish DVR 510 Cabling Questions

    OK I connected the RCA cables from the 510 to the VCR input and then RCA cables from the VCR output to the TV. I did notice that the picture quality was a little degraded compared to my previous S-Video connection. My VCR is a Samsung from 1996. Do you think a newer VCR would put out a better...

    Okay here is my setup. I have a Dish DVR 510, a Samsung VCR, and a Zenith TV that has 2 inputs (Input 1 is the standard coax port and Input 2 is S-Video/RCA). I currently have the PVR 510 connected directly to Input 2 via S-Video and the red/white audio RCA ports and I get a great picture. To...

    Cheap RG59U cable included with DVR 510

    Hey guys. When I got my new DVR 510 the other day a cheap RG59U cable was included in the box. I was just curious why Dish Network would include a RG59U cable instead of a RG6. I bought a RCA 3-foot RG6 cable from Home Depot yesterday and it only cost $3.45. Any thoughts? Thanks.

    510's use of UHF and IR signals

    Hi everyone. I just upgraded one of my 301 receivers to a 510 and I love it. The manual says, "The remote control uses both UHF radio signals and IR signals to control the receiver." Along with the 510's included remote I noticed that the remote for my old 301 can also control the 510. My...
