This sounds very similar to what happened to my 722 over the past couple weeks. About 2 weeks ago, skipping forward would sometimes mean a 15-20 second pause. Fast forward was hardly quicker than realtime. Thursday night, I pressed the skip forward button and the screen locked up. It didn't...

I've had what I think is the same issue for about 2 weeks. Sometimes when I fast forward or skip ahead, picture will be very jumpy or freeze for 10-15 seconds. It locks up like an overloaded computer would with a fragmented hard drive. I did not notice anything like this prior to 2 weeks ago...

I've been a relatively happy Dish customer for the past 3+ years. I originally had Voom (my first DBS experience) and got 'moved' to Dish. After a delay and a poor install, I had a 942 and 811 up and running. I've been running pretty good since that day a few years ago. Although I'll never...

That may depend on what antennae that you got from Voom. I have the 'upgraded' - SquareShooter one. Before I got E*, I bought a power supply for that antennae to get it to work. The 942 powers it fine, but I hear that the newer receivers do not power the antennaes, so that may be an issue.

I've had this problem in the past on a 942. It was happening because of the 288 timer instance limit. When the new guide is downloaded at night, new matches to the timers are scheduled. If a match goes over the 288 limit, it isn't scheduled (along with any other lower priority timers). The...

I've been having the same problem for at least a couple weeks. I think it's happening on my local Fox station. It's random. Sound will just quit. Change to another OTA station, sound is back. Change back to Fox, it will work for a while again.

I have leased a DVR 942 receiver for over 2 years. I've been subscribed to the $10 HD pack the whole time. I didn't 'upgrade' to the other HD pack because I wasn't interested in the Voom stations (Having coming from Voom to E*). I do watch ESPNHD and the HDNET stations. My understanding...

Here's some more ideas: Individual timers for multiple users. Then.. personalized recommendations. And... Once again, get rid of that stupid 288 timer limit (or quit counting things that are not going to record).

I believe the limit on the 622 and 942 is 288 timers. Yes, call and complain. It's an unreasonable amount for a 10 day timer system.

My understanding is that the 942 supplied the power to powered antennaes and the 622 does not. You may need to buy a power supply for your antennae.

My parents (longtime Dish subscribers) recently bought a very nice 60" HDTV. I told them to contact Dish and be upgraded to a 622. The installer came out last week and hooked up a 622. On Saturday I went to check out the new system but found the HD widescreen modes weren't working as I...

You hit the points which I have found be be what's lacking on Disk DVR's. I too came from Voom. I had a HTPC recording Voom with SageTV as software. SageTV was the closest to TIVO. It had the ability to record 'seasons' but at least remembered what episodes you watched so it wouldn't record...

I have a call into Dish about this issue. They said they haven't heard about it before, but I can verify it does happen. It always has to do with an OTA recording the same time as a SAT channel. You will get one recording stopped at the start of the other, the other recording will get the...

I had the same problem with an 811 for a couple weeks. Finally called a rep with some decent ideas. Basically, do you have other Dish boxes? If so, unplug them all. Reset the 811 and see if it works. Mine went from seeing 1/2 of one satellite to seeing a full 3 satellites. He claims static...

I'm having terrible problems with the 811 today also. It can't seem to download the program info.

The limit you are probably running into is the 288 instances of timer events. This is what most people run into and is way to little for 1 1/2 week of events. I believe you have a limit of over 48 timers, but you usually will run into the instances sooner. Complain to Dish (I have). A DVR...

I have a new problem on the 942 which just recently started which I'm suspecting is caused by the new duplicate channel 'fix'. If I have a 2 hr program recording from 6-8 on TV1 (Sat). "Program A" I have another 1/2 hr program recording from 6:30 - 7:00 on OTA. "Program B" What I end up...

The 942 has a (stupid!) limit of 288 scheduled recordings. Things go to hell if you try to schedule something over that limit. That limit currently means with 3 tuners and 9 days of scheduling, you are given about 10 recordings per tuner per day. So, use your 10 events as half hours and you...

Will this work for the 942 also? If not what is needed for the Squareshooter antenna Voom provided?
