Not getting the Overtimes Recorded

If I want to record a game from say 4-7 pm. I set it to automatic record. If the game goes to 7:30 it stops at 7 pm. What am I doing wrong? If I want to record a NASCAR race to go back and DVR late Sunday evening, I better hope there was no rain delay or I miss the end of it

HELP?

I use the extend stop on the Unit every week.

Wow! Here's what I remember about DISH. I always record NASCAR on Sunday. IT was an automatic recording I set once and that was that. Now if the race was scheduled for say from 1-5 pm and if there were a bunch of cautions and red flag periods, the race wouldn't be over until 6 pm. My Recorder somehow knew to keep recording until the end of the telecast. It knew if the race had messed up the other Sunday programs to somehow still record the other show I had set to automatic record even though it started 1 hour later. I promise I ain't making this up. My son even has made mention of it. Hey, I'm sticking with Direct. I can't go back to continuously messed up bills trying to work it out with someone who doesn't speak SouthWest VA Dialect (?).

I'm gonna change my preferences like you guys say. It just seems goofy to record all our programs for an hour longer. 2 hours of Office, 2 hours of Heroes, 1.5 hours for a 30 minute show, etc.

Merry Christmas!

Go to the Guide, Press Select on what you want to record. Then click on options. And there you have it.

It can be done separately for each series link.

OK, so I want to record every NASCAR race. I wait until the Daytona 500 shows up in Feb's Guide and go to guide and then hit record button twice to multiple record every future NASCAR race. Then what do I do to make the 1 hour longer recording time to just apply to the NASCAR races?

Another simple solution is to record the next program following your target program. As an example, when "60 Minutes" is preceeded by a football game, I also record the scheduled program AFTER "60 Minutes". Frequently the football game will spill over to the begining of the "60 Minutes" time slot, with the result that "60 Minutes" will spill over too. By recording the NEXT scheduled time slot, all is well.

After you double click record to record the series:
Menu>Manage Recordings>To do list>Select the Nascar program>Rec Series>Then change the Stop time to however many hours you want to extend the buffer.

Song Name Game Part 3!

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....

Has anyone noticed an FF stutter with 713? I used to be able to hit FF a few times and skip smoothly. After 713 (maybe 712), when I skip forward, there is a definite stutter for as many times as I have pressed FF.

Can anyone check on this and report back? Recorded programs and then press skip forward a few times to see if it's smooth? Normally, it just jumps to the right place after the skips.

It's a known issue.
For a temporary fix, go into the menu, Audio, and turn Dolby Audio "OFF". You will have PCM stereo audio.

I was able to give the tech ops team some data logs so they could diagnose the problem, and they rolled me back to H708 temporarily. It fixed that issue.

They let me know that they understand what caused the issue, and it will be fixed within a few weeks in a new update.

I guess they will be busy when lots of people start asking for rollbacks to H708 now that you mention that downgrades of software does exist because it will likely fix the OTA Single Tuner and the IR Remote problems in H710-H713.

I think they were more of a transitional receiver bridging the VIPs to the Hopper. They were a PITA to install and were buggy. Personally, I thought at the time that they were the best receiver out there. The versatility of the VIP's with the new Hopper GUI and, by far, the coolest-looking front plate and lighting.

Well if it is because of reliability that wouldnt shock me.I went through 5 or 6 of them in little over 2 years. I loved the Sling when it worked! Saved lots of money having it in the day. That was probably 15 or 16 years ago?

I don't recall that they came out just before hopper, but rather that they came out even before 722. Or could be thinking of 921.

As to the title pf the post, "rare" does not necessarily mean valuable or desirable.

You are thinking of the 921. The 922 was the first DVR with Sling functionality built in (that was eventually disabled along with the Sling Adapter for the 722s and the 1st Hopper because they relied on now-defunct Adobe Flash technology). With the bugginess described by others and the removal of its marquee feature (Sling) the 922 faded into obscurity once the Hopper 2 with built in Sling was released and they finally made the concept into a fully functional product.

I had one, the front panel lighting was cool, the menus were fresh and a lot more modern looking than the ViPs. However, it was very buggy and the Sling functionality just didn't work well - I think it was due to internet speeds at the time. I think I had to pay $40 for the Sling app on my phone iirc.

Stargate SG-1 cancelled, Atlantis renewed

Monday - August 21, 2006 | by Darren Sumner

The future of Stargate is in question today, as SCI FI Channel has cancelled the long-running Stargate SG-1, Multichannel News reported today and a GateWorld source has confirmed. The news regrettably follows the airing of the show's milestone two-hundredth episode on Friday.

Stargate Atlantis, meanwhile, has been renewed for a fourth season, with the network hoping to see that the spin-off series can stand alone, according to a source.

Well, there are a couple involving the Antarctic. "Solitudes", S1 E17 (one of my favorites), Then, "Lost City', S7 E21 and E22. Then, in the SGA pilot, "Rising", S1 E1 and E2, it starts out in the Antarctic for about the first 20 minutes or so.
