TV1 light is green, I can hear fan/hard drive but no video, no flashing lights on front. Unplugging didn't help. Any ideas on how to wake it up?

My other 622 and 510 work fine. The 622 is leased. Will they charge me to RA? How about upgrading to a 722?

Not sure how you've got your 622 hooked up, but have you checked the other video connections for a picture?

The reason I ask is mine was hooked up through HDMI when I first got it and it stopped working and I had no picture whatsoever. I then ordered a replacement unit and I had a picture up until the new 622 updated it's software during the setup process, and then it was out again.

I finally ended up giving up and just using the components :rolleyes:

I am using the TV1 HDMI output for the main TV and the TV1 components are hooked to a SlingBox. Neither set of outputs has a signal. I haven't tried TV2. But none of buttons on the front appear to work, so I can't put it into dual mode. I'm guessing it is dead.

Try leaving it plugged in and turned on for several minutes (patience is the key here). It's possible that the file system on your hard drive has become corrupted and the receiver is performing a fsck procedure (Linux equivalent of a Windows Error Check) Depending on what is wrong (and how many times you interrupted it) this can take quite some time, and unfortunately the dish software gives no indication of what it is doing while performing this action. It's also entirely possible that the 622 is just dead, but give it some time before you write it off.

OK, I've got a solid green LED light on TV1. Every 30 seconds it flashes off for 1 second then comes on. I can hear the hard drive running, but it doesn't sound bad. I've had it turned on for about 45 minutes. Nothing yet. I am going to leave it running for at least an hour before I call tech support.

There must be a way to bypass the hard drive start up. I would have assumed that the E* software was NOT on the hard drive itself.

Dish installer came out this morning to replace my LNB. He swapped out the old Dish 1000 and DPP44 switch with a new Dish 1000.2. That should fix the LNB drift problem. Dropouts and rain fade on the HD channels had gotten really bad. When I pulled up the diagnostics it said that 129 had dropped out more than 80 times in a 24 hour period. The LNB drift was running 9 to 9.5. Signal strength on the 1000.2 seems much better.

We concluded that the 622 receiver was dead. The CSR I talked to was pretty clueless. He seemed to be just reading from the script. He asked me if the 622 was plugged into a switched wall outlet. (No, I can hear the fan and hard drive and the green light is on.) He had me plug it into several wall sockets anyway.

Sometimes a thread gets so many posts in it that is can cause issues for the server so that why today we introduce The Song Name Game Part 3!

So let the game continue!

The last song was added by Bobby who posted...

One Meat Ball - Andrews Sisters

CONTINUE ON AND HAVE FUN! WELCOME HOME TO SATELLITEGUYS.US!

Here are the original rules for the game as posted by WebbyDude back in 2006. http://www.satelliteguys.us/threads/68645-Song-Name-Game

Just name a song title and the band who performed it. The next person does the same thing, but needs to list a song title or band name which includes a word from the previous entry. Pick songs from any genre.

Example:

Long Live Rock and Roll -- Rainbow

Rainbow in the Dark -- Dio

Another example:

Ride the Lightning -- Metallica

Lightning Strikes -- Ozzy Osbourne


Get it?


An additional note: we all know that song titles, sometimes, use profane words. Because this is a family friendly website it is advised that you clean up that title up a bit. This is accomplished by using something like sh!t instead of the real word. Thanks....

Finished season 3 last night. Still one of my favorite shows.

Anyone else wonder if there might be something else going on with Callum? Seems to me he has too much access to Russian intelligence.

Great ending, but it ran in circles most of the season.

Over the past few weeks, I have had problems connecting to streaming services (Netflix, HBO et al). When I go to the TV's native Channels, I have no problem. The Dish internet troubleshooter shows I have a good internet connection. I'm wondering whether it's an issue with my internet provider or a problem with the Dish software on the Hopper Plus. Anyone else seeing this?

I have a DISH Hopper 3 (Software H713) with Hopper Plus (Software P15403). I have not tried streaming services but I primarily watch TVB Jadeworld international package which is only available by streaming and when I have an issue, I usually have to go to a non-streaming satellite channel first before the streaming channels will work again. What software versions do you have and what is the error message if any are showing on your screen? or is that Dish downloading logo just stuck and never finishes?

I'm on H713 on the Hopper and P15403 on the Hopper Plus. It shows internet connection issues and doesn't finish loading the various services. I see the "loading circle going around. Sometimes I get a message saying that the service is having trouble loading my content and to check the internet connection.

Did it ever work correctly before? Hard to say what the problem is. Usually for streaming, it will show the Dish logo with lines sweeping down to show downloading, never seen the circle issue. Did you try a manual reboot, red button reset, power cord unplug/replug to see if it makes a difference.

Might be worth just to ditch the hopper plus. No issues here on h713

Buy a roku and dump the hopper plus you'll be better off. If you have a smart tv you don't need either one. No hopper plus here and no issues!!!
