922 crashes

I have a 922 that I own. It has started crashing when I try to do anything with it. It will shut down and not try to boot up. After it shuts down, it will be making a loud noise like the fan may be running, but everything stays dark. I then unplug it for awhile. When I plug it back in, it will boot up, and the channels will come back up fine. After about 2 minutes it will shut down again and do the same thing all over again. Even if I don't touch anything.

Anybody have any ideas what could be wrong? Bad hard drive? Overheating? Can't see how it could overheat that quick.

I guess since I have owned it for almost a year and a half I am just out of luck? I do have a 722 that I am having no problems with.

Any advice or ideas are appreciated.

My receiver was working flawlessly since Nov 2010 and I own the unit. About 2 days ago my son was watching tv late at night and he told me that the receiver started downloading a software. Well that was the last time the unit worked like it should. Only last 3 minutes until it goes into the never stopping cycling process. It won't stop until I unplug. So after all the reset process I can watch tv for the same time until the same issue happen again.

I'm pretty mad because I have a lot of programs recorded from current series and I can't transfer them into my external HD. I do that every 2-3 weeks. I can actually transfer like 80% of an 1 hour sd show before the unit fails. I'm waiting for my replacement but is there a was to bypass that cycling process? I just want my recordings... :(

...I started experiencing the same issue this evening. Random reboots, 2 sling screes, tv works for a minute, then black screen, nothing on the display and the fan starts running at 100%.

Called dish (don't have DPP) and threatened to cancel if they did not replace the box free of charge (including shipping old one back). They caved. I think it si ridiculous that you should have to pay to return defective equipment that you are leasing...

Almost had my 922 for a year now. Maybe 10 months. Just died this weekend with the symptoms mentioned here. Only stays up for 2 minutes after power on then goes black & high fan speed. I got on chat with dish support. And have a new one coming on Tuesday. Not happy to be losing all my content.

Try unplugging the satellite feed while you are booting it up. I was able to rescue my recordings to an external drive and prevent the unit from restarting by doing that.

This doesn't work for me. I can't access the EHD transfer function unless the 922 is connected to the satellite feeds. The system tells me my EHD is not authorized. If I try disconnecting the feeds after starting the transfer, data transfer ceases.

My 922 only crashes when hooked up to the satellite. Lasts 5-20 minutes at a time before it goes black with fan raging and must be unplugged from the wall. Our power supply is NOT the problem. So I'm 99% certain it's the firmware update that has caused this sytem instability. Oh -- and since it first crashed last week, about 2/3rd of my recorded content (drive was only 16% full) has disappeared.

This is just a waaay more expensive 510 POS DVR. I'm pretty fed up with Dish at this point. Why am I paying so much for HD DVR service when many of the HD programming is not on transponders aimed at my state (I pay the same as customers in the Lower 48) and when the recorded content disappears? On a five-month old unit? Maybe I should block future updates on the replacement unit. Dish's programmers obviously do not know how to write code and Dish does not bother to beta-test new firmware before pushing it down.

$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.

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....

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.

Anyone else wonder if there might be something else going on with Callum? Seems to me he has too much access to Russian intelligence.

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!!!
