Odd that their really isn't a forum here to talk about interfacing a DVD-R w/ a DBS receiver, even though they appear to be one hot electronics items for this Christmas. Anyway, since it is 811 related, I'm posting here.

My problem so far is that the E* remote for my 811 can't control the DR-MV1S. I've tried every code for JVC DVDs and VCRs, and I've tried scanning codes. No joy! Any ideas or insight here?

My second problem is that the JVC IR universal remote for the DR-MV1S can't control the 811. The JVC manual (didn't JVC make some of these 811's) provides only one code for E* receivers and it doesn't work on the 811, even though the JVC is much newer. This is troubling in that I probably won't be able to control the 811 w/ the JVC unit's IR blaster come time to pre-program recordings. Thoughts here?

Thanks in advance.

I had the same sort of problem with my new Pioneer DVD Recorder, model DVR-520H. I bought it as I read a post that you could use the IR blaster to control the DVD recorder as a VCR. So I tried each of the codes in the 811 manual and none worked for this. Then I read one page in the manual that states satellite control only works for record and stop on the Pioneer, which makes testing suck as your supposed to try and power it on and off to test the codes. I then read someone else post on another forum that 573 works for a different model Pioneer DVD recorder. So I entered that as my VCR code, setup a timer recording, left the DVD recorder on and viola the 811 recorded and stopped the recording per the timer.

Thats about as much functionality as I can get out of my Dish Remote or from the 811, but hell that works for me as I can setup timers and record shows in near 480i quality (HDTV recorded this way looks great). So try the codes and try it against a timer recording...

It seems for some reason controlling a combo device with a universal remote doesn't wotk, my present remotew has controlled numerous devices but as soon as I attempted to control a JVC combo device no go!!!

That's a good point on the universal remote. I have a Toshiba combo DVD/VCR/Tuner and it was a little bit of a trial setting up one remote for it.

A little help here please. Thanks in advance.
Carl,
Don't know if this will help or not, but my 921 manual lists more codes for the JVC DVDs: 636,689,708,711
Good luck.
I have a JVC 8030 AV receiver which can't be controlled by one of my universal remotes. I finally bought a Harmony 680 and am now controlling everything. This wouldn't help in setting up automatic recording though.

Thanks for the additional codes, unfortunately they didn't work either.

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!!!
