Here is the situation:
I have been a user of 622s for a longtime and also had EHD on my account since it was announced. I decided to take a the plunge and purchase a replacement 722K for one of the 622s. Everything with the activation of the new 722K went smoothly and I kept the 622 it is replacing active on the account until I got all my contact and timers transferred: Therein lies my issues:
1) Timer backup. I attempted to timer backup to the new 20.0 remote on my 622 using the Menu -> Menu -> next option and it failed everytime I tried to do it. Interestingly, the receiver was able to determine the different between the6.3remote and the 20.0 by stating my remote wasn't compatbile if I attempted with the 6.3 remote. But with the 20.0 remote, it appeared that it would work, then abruptly failed every time. I'm rather annoyedthat Dish would put that 'feature' in the 622 software if is doesn't work but hey, not a big deal, I just used remoteaccess to resetup all my timers on the new 722K. (much faster than using the receiver to do it)
On to the major problem: Content transfer:
2) I plugged my EHD into the 622 and validated the reciever saw the existing content and repeated the same procedure on the 722K just to ensure the EHD activation had correctly applied to the new 722K. Everything showed up correctly (yeah!).
Then I began transferring all of my 622 internal drive content to the EHD and everything transferred over without issue. I checked the EHD on the 622 and everything was there. Next I moved the EHD to the 722K and it also saw all the content (woohoo, this might actually work!) So I selected all the content I wanted transferred back to the 722K and Since the transfer was going to take 4+ hours, I went to bed.
This is where the fun begins, Upon waking up, I checked the status and noticed that only about 9 of the roughly 85 shows were transferred back. Ok, I'll just access the EHD and reselect them.. BUT WAIT, I now have no shows listed on my EHD!!!! WTF!!!!! :rant:
I powered off the drive and reset the 722k, but still the same issue. I know the content is still there because the receiver sees the drive with 320GB out of 750GB remaining available but nothing shows up in the list.
So I move the EHD back to the 622 and the exact same issue, no shows listed but 320GB free. WTF!!!! :rant:
I even powered off the the drive for an hour to let it sit for a bit and still no dice. I tried calling dish for tech support but waited on hold for 45 minutes and finally gave up.
Does anyone have and idea what I can do to recover my content?

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....

I know HipKat said that they were working on conversions but we got the official news yesterday right from Dish that starting next month all DMA's will be on the western arc, and all customers will be assigned to that. That's gonna mean a lot of customers around here aren't gonna get Dish unless there are exceptions. Too many mountains and trees.

Really excited for this season with Kentucky having a new coach and some really exciting recruits. Probably won't last long, but here's hoping this season is great.

It's dead, they just don't know it yet. They killed it by forcing DRM on it, and that TOTALLY botched implementing it.
There is absolutely NO compelling reason for anybody to switch to ATSC3.0. They only want it as a total and complete money grab.

WHAT ABOUT THE INTERNET PART OF IT. NO ONE WANTS A BOX CONNECTED TO THE INTERNET EITHER.

I was bewildered with all the new DISH TV "Bonus View" channels, so I put together a web page table with all the info I could find. It's at:
https://anythingpeaceful.org/dishtv/DISH_TV_Bonus_View_Channels.html
Here's a partial screenshot of the table, as sorted by Channel Name. (You can click on a column header to sort.)
If you have any corrections or suggestions, please post here.
