on 622 in dual mode--Can someone tell me how to stop a tv2 live recording? If it's only TV1 then I can stop it by changing channels and it will tell me if I change I will stop recording. But if only TV 2 is recording it will let me change channels but if I try to stop or delete the program it tells me I cannot while it is recording. I thought I should be able to swap to tv 2 and stop it but nothing happens. The only way I found to do it is to go to the other room where tv2 is and change channels and it will let me stop. My510 I can just hit stop.

Also, if I switch to single mode am I able to record two programs at one time?

(I think it would be much easier to have two 612's than 1 622 for two tv's)

You're all working too hard. ;)

With TV1 remote press DVR button twice for Daily Schedule. Select program that's recording. Timer/Delete/Stop recording?/Yes.

All the symptoms you describe are features not bugs.

If you need to watch another channel while recording you MUST be in single mode. It has always been that way. Alternatively, start a recording of the channel you want to watch on the other output and watch it with play.

That does not work--when you hit yes it tells you the program is recording and can't be stopped.

I thought you had to be in dual mode to record and watch another because you would need two turners. If you can in single mode then that might be the answer. I'll try it. Thanks.

You can be in dual mode share and you can schedule TV1 or TV2 records. But that leads to other problems as well. But if you are in the standard dual mode it is exactly like having 1 single tuner satellite receiver (TV2) and 1 single tuner satellite receiver with an OTA receiver (TV1).

In dual mode:
TV1
- you can watch a recording from the library while recording something a satellite channel, OTA channel or BOTH.
- you can watch a Digital OTA channel while recording a satellite channel
- you can watch a satellite channel while recording a Digital OTA channel
- you can watch a recording from any point while its being recorded.
- you CANNOT watch one satellite channel while recording another.

TV2
- you can watch a recording from the library while recording something a satellite channel
- you can watch a recording from any point while its being recorded.
- you CANNOT watch one satellite channel while recording another.

TV1 and TV2 are independent receivers in one box.
You wouldn't want to have some one stop your recording in your personal receiver if it were a separate box so some one else can watch another program. That is why the 622 doesn't allow TV1 to stop TV2's recording. It is a SAFETY to prevent the kids from stopping Daddy's porn recording! :)

In Single mode
- You can watch one satellite channel while recording another satellite channel and/or OTA Digital channel
- You can watch an OTA digital channel while recording two satellite channels
- You can watch a recording while recording two satellite channels AND an OTA Digitnal channel
- You can watch a recoding from any point while its being recorded while also recording two other programs.
- You have full PIP functionality.
- You can use the "swap" button for dual buffers so you can watch two live programs, pause one for the commercials, swap to the other channel, until it goes into commercial, swap back and skip forward passed the commercials to the where the first program continues... I've watch sooooo many football games this way. :)

In single mode, you have one receiver that can feed the same channel to as many TVs as you want.

See ya

Just tried it again and it works for me. You have to be in DAILY SCHEDULE. Press DVR button twice, or Menu-7. Go to recording program...Enter...Timer...Delete....Yes. I've done it a half dozen times today.

Also, you can set Record Plus to TV2, so it will be the first to record. If you do an overlap, then it goes to TV1.

A trick that works for me: menu 6-1-3. Before taking you to this system information screen, it will tell you it has to disrupt TV2. After leting it run its test, you can cancel out, and the recording will have stopped.

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.

One episode into season 4 that dropped today...

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!!!
