It is a bios trigger in the firmware for drive, nothing to do with the contents of the drive.

Not that big of a deal since hard drives are designed for a MTBF of >100,000 hours... the sleep mode is more for energy savings.

I have been holding off on upgrading. Finally, on Thanksgiving, I figured I would see what the deal was. So I messaged Dish through Facebook to see what upgrading would run. I needed 2 Hoppers with Sling and 4 joeys. After messaging back and forth over a couple hours while getting everything...

Seagate drives have a utility that you can turn that function off with. Just hook up the drive to your pc and run the utility to switch off sleep mode.

Any movement of the apps for android? Still does not seem to transfer or use explorer on android.

FWIW: I just got a 3D tv not too long ago. While shopping for it, I looked at all the technologies and if you are a stickler for PQ as I am, you will want to go plasma with active glasses. I got the Samsung 7000 series (59") and it looks awesome. The LCD and LED Tvs with the passive glasses...

Ok, I pinned it down to what must be an issue with the encoder at dish.. It was driving me crazy all night making me think my new tv is messed up. I was seeing this horizontal artifact line across the middle of the screen only where there was movement in that area. But if only occurs on FoxHD -...

I would be going from: HD/SD (2TV) Receiver 14.00 HD/SD (2TV) Receiver 14.00 HD/SD (2TV) DVR Receiver 17.00 DVR Service 6.00 HD Receiver 7.00 Total: 58.00 / mo. fees... I will need 2 hoppers and 4 joeys (6 total tvs) and I am on AT250. So what will it cost to upgrade and what will my...

Big markets first my A$$. I'm in Phila market. Top 5. no PBS or CW.

Wait.. You mean if the primetime anytime is recording the 'Big4' on 1 tuner, if you have 2 hoppers you could be recording 9 shows simultaneously (1 hopper recording the big 4 + 2 other channels and the other hopper recording 3 more. 4+2+3=9!)?! And be able to watch any one from anywhere in the...

ok.. thanks..

I just got my wife a new droid phone and she found the DRA app and loaded it.. I have 2 622s that the app sees, I can see the guides, recordings, etc.. when I try to play a recording it asks for the DVR password, where is that? Do I need a sling device attached to them or don't they just do this...

Yay! And for those arguing about whether or not to close the thread.. welcome to America.. if you don't want to talk about it any more, then don't. those who wish to, can. Why must everyone bend to one person / group's will? And we wonder why there is so much war and conflict.. Live and let...

you can get a transformer with the 4 pin molex connector to plug it into the 'wall'.. e.g.: http://www.coolerguys.com/840556029977.html

I have found this to be a great way to add some extra cooling to 622's.. It's a slot cooler that you can mount to the left side with some double sided tape and it draws lots of air through the unit (42 cfm).. Alpha Omega System Exhaust Blower Ball Bearing FC2000B - Cyberguys.com

I posted this in another thread, but thought it belongs here... Isn't Dish required by law to carry all major networks in local markets? I understand pulling NATGEO, and FX and the rest, but the local FOX networks? I didn't think they were allowed to do that..

Doesn't the fact that Fox is a major network that is supposed to be available in all local markets require Dish to carry it? Isn't that why Dish is finally gearing up to carry PBS in HD now in all markets by a particular date (escapes me)?

Anytime you are engineering equipment racks full of equipment you should be laying out everything in ACad.. Keep track of all the equipment in the racks as well as all the connections.. Absolutely essential. 2 sets to plans: Physical layout as well as a logical wiremap. That is called...

I love my dish, but I do lose signal when heavy cells move through, which tends to be often anymore when there are thunderstorms.. I have recently been upgraded to EA and it hasn't gotten any better and the installer made sure I was pointed 'as good as it gets'... clear view too.. anything I can...

If you add a hard drive to the 211k does it use the 9 day program guide instead of the 3 day? I noticed the 9 day has more info in it.. ie. episode #, original air date...

quick update.. Got my 211 from dishstore.. Hooked everything up where I wanted, called dish to activate it and all is well.. The csr (from the phillipines) was very sweet. Thanks dishstore and dish! Btw, picked up a hannspree 28" hdtv from costco online for 299. Including s&h.. Even came with...

I just upgraded to ea using 2 44s running to 2 622s, 2 222ks, and a 211.. No problem. Power inserter on each switch was necessary. Yes, 9 total tuners running off the 1000.4 dish with no issues. Love it.

Didn't I read somewhere that they are going to be forced to allow the sats to carry them now? (CSN philly, etc..)

Well, he just left. Everything is all hooked up and ready for the 211 to arrive and be activated.. He was a dish installer not a contractor, so he was real easy to deal with, time was not an issue.. Since most of the wiring was all done, just had to run one lead about 30' in the basement for the...

I have a 44 now.. just checked.. waiting for the tech to arrive this morning.. I will be on the phone with dish while he is here if there are any issues and have it resolved with them before he leaves.. I know the tech doesn't have control of that.. as a contractor myself, I know the 'don't shot...
