    622 Strange DVR scheduling problem.

    Actually Black Gold did record last night, I thought i may have missed it. Thought I don't know why I watch it any more, LOL. I wish it was more about the drilling process, than stupid fake BS.

    622 Strange DVR scheduling problem.

    I can add a little more weirdness to the situation. I record Mantracker on science channel and it recorded Pumpkin Chunkin instead. I'll check the memory but I don't want to delete my timers and recreate because there are years worth of timers with seasonal shows that I know I will forget about...

    622 Strange DVR scheduling problem.

    A couple weeks ago +/- a few days my DVR schedule only showed 1 show was set to record for however far out the schedule goes. So I reset it by holding the power button and that did not fix it. Then I pulled the power and that did not fix it. I think I did a check switch and it downloaded the...

    DIY network missing from Top 120 Plus

    There are a lot of shows available on the DIY network site. Get a Logitech revue and you can easily watch them on your TV, as long as you have a decent internet connection.

    Replace 222k with 211k

    It sounds like your situation was a little different, I'm simply swapping out 1 HD receiver for another. A simple plug and play change, no rewire or modification to the existing dishes.

    Replace 222k with 211k

    It would reduce my bill by $7 and I can add the blockbuster pack for $10 and drop my $15 netflix. So why change? Basically money. I have a 622 as my primary receiver. So it sounds like I should find a clear receiver on ebay or craigs list. Thanks.

    Replace 222k with 211k

    I do not need a dual tuner receiver and figured I would just have dish send me a 211 and ship my 222k back. Well that requires a $95 trip charge and a new 2 year contract. Is that correct? If so I would be better off purchasing a 211 off Ebay or Craigslist. Just wondering if there are any...

    Is HD Theatre Going Bye Buh?

    Yeah, good question, so us poor folk can get a glimpse into the life of someone who makes $150K+ a year.

    Attention "DISH SUPPORT TEAM" Software and bootstrap versions cause folder bug?

    I had this problem and fixed it on my 622 by accident. It was so frustrating that I disabled the folder view. That was more annoying than the "Bug" so I went back to folder view. Now it's fixed. Such an easy fix, who would have thought!

    Extended Cinemax Deal

    I did get an automated call from them saying my card was expiring and was going to update it I just forgot to. Oh well.

    Extended Cinemax Deal

    Well I tried to re add it and they said no. Should I play CSR roulette? I had it but my CC expired and I didn't update it until my bill was late.

    Audio drop outs

    It's been happening to me too, WA. I am glad it's not just me. Hope it gets fixed soon.

    Grounding Q...

    I'll probably leave it up there and just drain it. I'll replace it with a tankless unit. I did a little research and saw that quite a few people with newer homes have the water heater in the attic. One suggestion I saw was to install a water sensing shutoff valve. I will be doing that ASAP. I...

    Grounding Q...

    I guess I'll leave it grounded the way it is. Not sure why it's in the attic. The home builder put it there and I bought the house from the 1st owner. I kinda like it there, doesn't take up room in the garage.

    Grounding Q...

    I have had dish network installed since 2006 with 2 dishes. My brother just gave me a 1000.2. So I did some research on the benefits of switching out my 2 dish setup for 1 dish. My conclusion is there is no major difference between a 2 dish setup and 1 dish but I uncovered something. My dishes...

    TruTV HD

    I just noticed TruTV isn't stretch-o-vision. Is it permanent? It's kind of weird after seeing all the shows in stretch-o-vision for so long.

    722/622 Tuners Could be Smarter

    It's simple. The receiver can record 2 shows back to back no matter what the pad is and accomplish it seamlessly on 1 tuner. So you have your shows set to start recording 3 min early and 3 min late. It starts recording and at then end of 1 show simply copy the last 3 min and paste it to the...

    DVR Live Buffer

    DVR Live Buffer

    It looks like 90 min is the max on a 622. Extending by 3 hours would be nice. I have it set to 1 hour but I have missed the end of races before. I extended yesterdays race to 90 min but didn't think about recording the show currently running live, too many beers I guess! I just need to start...

    DVR Live Buffer

    I have these types of situations every once in a while and it sounds like there is no solution to the problem except recording the next 2 shows after an event like nascar that is susceptible to extremely long delays. Hell maybe even the next 3 shows, I'll just have to evaluate it on a case by...
