Is my 722 hard drive dying? ifso can anyone help resurrecting it just enough to back

My 722 was annoyingly freezing and skipping when watching recording for last few days. I decided to reset it by unplugging for 10 minutes to see if it fix problem. When restarted it showed ''311'' error message. Upon google/searching it sounds like hard drive is dying. My receiver:

  • is only 4-5 months old
  • sitting in open (not in enclosure).
  • It gets really hot ...hot enough to raise 12 x 12 room temperature.
  • I am still in 9 month DHPP; since I signed 2yr contract
  • DVR button no longer works. It says unable to access....
  • what is life expectency of it? TIVO at dad's going 4 years strong...
My concern is there anyway I can resurrect hard drive so I can perhaps backup on external HD (anyway to have dish waive activation fee for it since their reciever is dying...)

I really hate a thought of exchanging it for another since I have 60+ timers/dish pass and 100+ recordings...

Following error message comes up when I power it.

I can't wait until solid state drives become the norm. I would think that they would solve most of the issues we see with hard drives today.

Standard PC hard drives have a failure rate of about 10% in the first year (source: Kim Kommando). Assuming these DVR drives are slightly higher quality maybe with a first year failure rate of 3% that still makes for a dozen or so unhappy subs per year.

dish CSR confirmed that hard drive has gone bad. while I asked them for more information on external hard drive for backup purposes, coloradio ''technical'' CSR said it is free of charge to use it. As far as I remember there was $40 charge for it. Is it free now? I cant find info since dish has redesigned their website.

I agree but price is gonna come down faster we then we think.

I remember paying $40 for 128mb for microSD back in late 2004. I used to called transflash back then. Now nobody wants it even for free...caz you can get 4Gb for less $10-12.

Brutal review of Netflix's series Below

Don't know if any of you have watched this series yet, it would be interesting to see if you feel this review was accurate. It was very humorous to listen to however.

If the review is like the article, oi! Eighteen paragraphs into the review and... all they've done is not really talk at all about the actual thing they are reviewing.

Halfway into the "written" review, I know more about how the writer "thinks" than I do about what they are writing about. I understand their politics, their self-overestimated understanding of film, their inability to be funny.

Takes about 22 paragraphs to get to one that starts "Anyway, the story kicks off...". Talk about Slop! 😂

Star Trek: Starfleet Academy - Paramount+

Season 2 order already in hand:

'Star Trek: Starfleet Academy' Renewed for Season 2, Tatiana Maslany to Guest Star in Season 1

I've not been optimistic about this show based on what I've read so far. Seems to be aimed at a younger audience. Interesting though that Tatiana Maslany will have some sort of role.

Here i am over a year later and just finished season 1. Not great but not as bad as I was expecting. Did not care for the barefoot captain stuff but overall ok. Actually looking forward to see what they did for season 2.

Yeah, the foot stuff was just nasty. I kept thinking of how dirty her feet would get traipsing around shoe-less. Funny, I love being shoe less at home and never wear shoes indoors in my home for long, but seeing her laying on all her furniture with her bare feet hanging out just kind of grossed me out.

There would still be dirt ,dust in the future I am sure. So walking around the station like she did she would get stuff on her feet. I am sure the robot vacuum is still going to miss stuff, with all those different alien species running around there.

Where is it going to come from -- specifically?

Why do you think cleaning technology won't improve in the next few hundred years? HEPA filtration was invented as part of the Manhattan Project.

I don't know, but I still don't like her walking through the station or the academy with out her shoes. It looks unprofessional and very "hippy like" for someone of her status and I personally don't get off to feet, so there is that. ;)

Say, I don't wear socks or shoes in my house either. But for a captain in Star Fleet it looks bad to be walking around the academy with no shoes. Gives off 1960 Hippie vibes.

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....
