Problems recording on my 921

Hello,

Yesterday night I changed my packaging and added some movie channels. After the movie channels started working I immediately started creating some timers and one of them was for 12:00am Wednesday 7/18, at this point I do not remember if I created any more for overnight recording as 921 does not have a history option.

So I wake up in the morning and it is not recorded and when I went to the channel it worked fine. Then I turned off the receiver and turned it back on and it went directly up to the next channel instead of populating the same movie channel I was on, and it also displayed the message "that this channel is in a subscription package" blah, blah. Nonetheless I tuned to channel and worked fine. So then I started a recording on that particular movie channel I was on and tried to stop it and it could not stop the recording. So pressed it to record another movie channel and the same thing so then I had two movie channels recording that I could not stop. The only way I could have stopped it if I tried changing to another channel and it would give me a prompt to stop one of the recordings. So I left one of the recordings on this morning hopefully there is not a mess when I get back home.

So what is going on I will try to call tech support today I hope I do not have to change my 921. I actually thought I was doing real fine with the 921 until this, I got the 921 this passed saturday.

Thanks any help, questions, suggestions etc is gladly appreciated.

Sorry!

You have entered.... the... 921 zone! Can't begin to tell you how many similar situations I ran into on mine. Never got it fixed, and no confidence that a trade-out would provide any satisfaction. Too many people reporting too many basic problems.

I had the same frustrating prob, unfortunately the csr's at D* know didly. I got lucky & solved it myself. When you want to do a "quick record" use a light quick touch on the record button---don't "mash" it hold it down. you should be rewarded with an window of options, one of which is "manual user stop". See pg.68 in your manual.
If you were bad & didn't use a light, quick touch on the record button & that sucker is recording don't bother calling the tech line to try & find out how to stop the damn thing. Hit the DVR button. Highlight the program that's recording. Hit the "select/on" button again and then you will be able to select STOP!!!
I've had the 921 for a month now & yes it has some quirks--about like my damned PC but overall I'm very happy with it. Let me know if this solved your problem.

I actually did try that and many other things unplugged receiver and recording was still on. So I actually did call Tech Support and they helped, they kept on telling me that this receiver is the most vulnerable of them all blah, blah. Well at the end the rep told me to remove my smart card and it worked fine again I was able to record and stop from the menu options.

They also said they will start a thread.

Thanks
for all your help

There was nothing that worked.

I'm pretty careful with my equipment (which explains why I still have working Carver Cubes) so I'm really sure that I never "mashed" the buttons. But, the problems I had to be truthful were really more around the darn thing just locking up requiring the plug to be pulled. It had to be taken off life support at least once every couple days.

Sounds like you had a real nightmare with it. I probably woulda thrown the thing thru the window. I've had the "yank the plug" to reboot a few times as well. A couple of times I think I mighta got "fat fingered" & hit a couple of buttons at the same time. Hopefully mine won't have as many bugs as yours did! I've been using it a LOT for a month & so far it hasn't been that bad. Shouldn't have any bugs tho after a year on the market. Sure glad I didn't pay $1K for it, at $549 I'll live with a little aggravation I guess.

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....

NCIS

Anyone else watch this show? Any guesses as to what was in the box Gibbs gave to Abby that was on her desk? It look liked it was glowing.

I also heard that someone was leaving the show at the end of this season. Any guesses as to who thats going to be?

No. Bring in someone new.🤔 Tony is not serious enough for me. Parker is too close to the team and Tim is too young to take over IMO.

I don't think Tim and Tony are that far apart in Age ...

Remember what Tony said to Tim when they first got back together ...
Tony said: I am the New Tony, Tim .... (something to that effect)

Tony has changed, he's been running his Security Business ... I'm sure he has grown up.

Give it time ... your judging the New Tony from the old Tony.

It sounds like Tim won't be around the Team much longer either.

I'm curious how they are going to implement Tony into Origins (If they do) ...
Tony was introduced to Gibbs and the team, on NCIS, which makes it the Mothership side of things, he worked in Baltimore prior to NCIS, NO mention when they met that anyone had known one another ...

$6.3 billion in crypto stolen by hackers

This should hit a lot of folks with a dose of reality. I can only imagine how much more common this will get as AI progresses.

I read several stories on this and most are clear as mud. They say a lot of the stolen bitcoin has been "locked out" and that everyone will be made financially whole. I guess time will tell if either of these statements are actually true.

www.cnbc.com

Hackers steal $6.3 billion from Binance in biggest-ever cryptocurrency theft

The company later added it began recovering assets impacted by the breach after pledging to cover losses using its Secure Asset Fund for Users.

The "Secure Asset Fund" had about $1 billion in reserves... in Bitcoin.

The fund started in 2018, so it may take a while to make investors whole, much less replenish the fund.

New report states 29% of vehicles being traded in are under water

It states the average amount they are under water is OVER $7,000. :eek

Personally, I tend to be the type that drives a vehicle for a lot of years....do my own oil changes and other fluid changes. Just replaced the spark plugs and a couple coils. Youtube is great for things like this.

I'm pretty sure the most you can get is seven.

What America can't afford is the payments on $80,000+ pickups and SUVs and $40,000+ crossovers.

Hopper 3 with Hopper plus internet connection problems

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.

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!!!
