I've encountered that on my 722. Mrpink's post jibed something in memory. This slow guide problem started whenStandard Time returned. It had worked well up until then. None of the fixes mentioned earlier in this thread work for me, even temporarily. Anyone have an idea when dish might have a fix?

Hard to say for sure. When I moved a few years ago, they forgot to switch my locals (they knew my new billing address - they just messed up). To my surprise, my old local stations were still. But I had them switch the locals to my new city - being 2 time zones away, the timing did not always fit...

Same here. Its a bit overpriced IMO, but since I also have an old 7200, I want to hang on to it in case it gives up the ghost. Funny, I had replaced by 721 3 times with this last incident, I've only had to replace my 7200 once and that was several years ago. Of course its as slow as molasses, so...

S/W should be up to date. I successfully swapped between two channels that were buffered for over an hour on one, about 20 minutes on the other. But I pulled it up on PiP, then closed it and pulled it up again and only could back it up by less than a minute. Seems like that would have to be...

Thanks. That does seem to work. Doing some additional experimentation, I found you do have to be careful if you engage PiP mode while having something buffered you want to back up to - closing out of PiP mode resets the insert tuner buffer. But swapping works just fine. I still like the...

If this is coverend in an archived thread, apologies. I could not locate it. On the 522, is there a way to have PiP go to an icon instead of a window taking up space on the screen (in effect, buffering the 2nd tuner while maintaining everything on the current tuner).? On the 721, you could...

Hope you are right. Mine went thru a similar period where it seemed ok - although not as long, about a day and a half. Then it resumed. My experience is that the problem is very random. It could show up any time on any channel. PiP mode seemed to make it more probable, but then maybe that's...

thought I'd post an update for those still struggling (if any) with the error 005 - smart card error. After contacting Dish, they sent me a 522 in exchange. I got my answer in writing - I am the owner of the 522 just like I was for my 721 and all fees unique to the 522 and others (like the dvr...

Just wondering - is that expectation or experience? I was wondering if anyone has already activated a replacement reciever since the TiVo verdict to replace a malfunctioning 721. I hope you're wrong. I did manage to get a email reply confirming no DVR fee, so I at least have that electronically...

Well I called Dish, a few times, and after all their "troubleshooting" and reauthorizing (I guess) the said they would send me a replacement reciever. They didn't say anything about it being a different reciever. So today I got a 522. I called Dish CS - they told me it replaces the 721 since the...

Dish customer service hasn't changed much it seems:rolleyes: I gotta believe its a software problem - hopefully not something requiring replacement of my 721. I've been monitoring it a bit closer today. Haven't noticed any problems during the day, but went to PiP mode this evening and had it...

Apparently I spoke too soon. My 721 went out 3 times so far today, same symptom of "smart card..." error box then black screen. I don't have a dish pointed to 61.5 either. My guess is the dish tivo software has a virus....

I rebooted several times. So far today, it has behaved relatively normal so hopefully its over whatever problem was causing it. This has to be the strangest bug yet.

The past day I've been encountering (3 times this evening alone) a strange error on my Dish 721 reciever. On normal broadcast channels, and not doing anything (remote sitting on the table) I would get a box pop up on the reciever telling me basically my smart card is not authorized to purchase...

I'm a Cardinal fan myself, but like you catch a fair number of St Louis games via the superstation package + TBS, WGN, ... etc. - although not as many as I used to as I think the LA superstation no longer carries the Dodgers (I'd watch StL when they played LA). Still I've subscribed to EI...

Any rumors as to whether Dish will carry MLB extra innings this year?

I kind of agree. Most "hate" the team out of tradition or for revenge satisfaction. As a Cardinal fan, we usually don't have much good to say about them cubbies - not that there is usually much good to say about them anyway :) . And the owners take some heat, sometimes deserved. But the players...

I'm considering adding a reciever, probably a dual channel HD receiver - my first HD receiver. The kicker is that I own all my own equipment right now - a 721, 7200, and 311. Does it make sense to purchase the new receiver or lease? Does anyone have any experience leasing equipment when its a...

has anyone heard any update when (or perhaps "if" at this point) Dish will roll out the 2nd phase of the interactive local weather - where you can view your local weather directly from channel 214? I've done the channel 100 thing - and like the new local weather over the old version. But I would...

I would like to know: 1. IS there ANY plan to add/activate the internet access feature on the 721? 2. is there any plan or ability to either upgrade the storage (hard disk) or output stored programs directly to a pc or dvd-writer for archive and for watching on other tvs?
