It's a Seagate. You should be able to stick any drive in there, it is not like Dish invented the DVR or HDD. I used to do my DirecTiVo's all the time. However, there were special steps due to the file system. I have not even opened it to see if it will take a SATA disk. It might be IDE.

I am just curious if anyone has tried to upgrade the internal disk on their 622? I have a 500GB disk sitting here since I just went to two 750's for my mirror. If you have what did you use? I was thinking of just running Acronis, but before I close the disk and expand the partition I am curious...

... but they should get on that. :D

Ahh, OK so I was "thinkin" wrong. Oh well, with 2 HDTVs I needed the two receivers anyway, the DVR is on the 32" one in the bedroom anyhow since this is where most of my viewing occurs. Thanks ScottA, guess that shows what happens when something is ASSuMEd :)

Hey all, I am sorry to bug with a dumb question like this but ... I had a VIP622 and just received a VIP211. I thought I could have both plugged into my home LAN and watch the DVR shows on the 211. Is this not the case? I ask because there is no network config menu for the 211 like there is for...

Can ya really call it a loss :D I subed to Voom when they were owned by Voom, and quickly determined it was a waste of money. Too bad for the folks that do enjoy these networks though, I'd be ticked if they did that to NGHD or DISC.

I hear that, ECHOSTAR CAN KISS MY A$$. They find more ways to nickel and dime the average citizen more than the IRS. Sorry "Charlie" ... dicks are for for chicks ... not customers you fool!

Sooooooooo not to be the party-pooper here but what good are these? There are no out of market professional sports games on these channels!!! Comcast, Echostar and DirecTV have all missed the point ... NATIONAL HD IS ALL THAT MATTERS IN THE EARLY PHASES! To be positive, congrats to those in...

The home run was a champ, thanks for the notes on the splitter/combiner! Now that I have it down here I have redistributed it to all rooms via the coax so as I add flat panel displays I can just jack in.

Home run seems the only way to go. I do not have CATV (not even basic), screw the FCC, well the Federal government in general :D Appreciate the help everyone.

That makes no sense but I'll re-run the auto program and see what I find. Thanks! Oh well heck, I thought all the 5MHz-1000MHz splitters were bi-directional, this is probably the issue because my backhaul is mapped as listed below. 622 --> Master bedroom cable jack --> Splitter "A" --> Cable...

Nudge, nudge

OK so I have a funny one here. My 622 has been in "single mode" since I got it. I want to hook another TV up now so I hooked up TV2 out and connected it to my cable TV backhaul. However, upon connecting it to the TV, tuning to channel 100 there is no picture, just snow. Now I thought...

Thanks .. if it makes a difference it is worth a try.

Thanks, now I only feel half as dumb. I too would rather have 720p full bitrate, full bandwidth .... but for 800,000 (right) pixels ... I don't think this would work either.

I feel your pain ... but Murdoch owns the FSN, all we can do now that we switched is pray.

Morning all, I am curious to know what folks here are using for modulation on their second TV's Mine is set to air on ch 60 and my picture is a little dark even though I had just run Spyder-TV on the and it looked great before. Curious if moving to the cable band (from air) and 70+ channel...

You talked to DOUG?!?! Dang man, WhoTF are you that you get to talk to the second highest guy in the NHL?!?! Now I am scared to be in your FHL league. I don't even know who won the Hart Trophy last year.

Actually it is more like having a DS3 Trunk. There is not a DVR on the planet that has the accuracy, ease of use and feature pack. Granted you are entitled you your opinion you should educate yourself or post the DVR you use that has: Remote Scheduling Ability to download content to a laptop...

TiVo Rocks & Merge Request Brad, I can't say anything other than TiVo has the best software. Well I can say now DirecTV has the worst (now) I guess, because that is my opinion, just as yours is yours. There is a reason that tivocommunity forums are more than 130,000 members strong and the...

Right, but usually even when under power only the adapter sends and receives ARP requests ... they have configured iptables to a non-responsive mode ... heck they might have ipcop on there too, just to avoid service discovery. Probably is on a different subnet than 192.* also and that was all I...

Not our fault that the fan base in Quebec could not support an NHL team! :devil: You have heard the song .... Oh Canadaaaaa, our hockey homeless land .... :D I actually had a Canadian (Quebecian?) that lived across the street from my mom. She was pissed when they lost their team and...

It is the way to go. Too bad they are shut-in comparatively. I hooked up to my Ethernet port this weekend on the 622 used nmap and ethereal and the port has power only. I saw that webpage and was like huh ... busybox ...

OK, I had too much rum in the last hour ... IIRC, 720p is a HIGHER bitrate than 1080i DOH! If that is correct ... CAN IT!

On behalf of 'Black Hitachi' which would you rather have:
