My replacement 922 is overheating.

I received a replacement 922 because of a bad hard drive in my original 922. It is now overheating and giving a warning message about 149 degree hard drive temperature. A reset cools it down and it then works properly. The high temperature is real and is centered at the top left front of the receiver looking at the front. This comes on fast and happens about twice a day. It looks like thermal runaway. The DVR has space on all sides and a 72 degree room temperature. The previous 922 had no problem with overheating in the same space. Can anyone help (DIRT)?

Thanks,
Barbara

Ugh. Doesn't bode well for us, then. We BOUGHT our 922 last August. Last Wednesday morning, came downstairs to hear the fan on very loud, and no lights on the front panel. Hard reboot (unplug) and long wait for anything on the screen. The DVR was operating normally at 10 PM Tuesday. The DVR is on a low open shelf near the floor in the outside corner of the coldest room in our house. There is air space all around it except underneath, but the wood shelf it sits on is 5" off the floor. We live in Alaska and thermostat is set at 63 days, 58 nights. It probably never gets above 60 F in the corner even in summer (our summer highs average in the low 60s here).

I have the DVR set to update at 3 AM each night and am guessing that's when it overheated. It will now stay on for only a few minutes before blanking out -- no lights and high fan. However, we see no high temp. warning when this happens. BTW we're running S116. I am scrambling to get an EHD to (I hope) dump content before the thing permanently gives up the ghost.

After telling us 1) the unit is leased, and 2) we would have to pay $35 shipping for a replacement unit, Dish is now sending the replacement for free. That unit still shows as leased but we've been told this will update when we call to activate the replacement. We'll see. After eight years with Dish and two DVR models, both of which I bought, each and every tiime I've had a tech issue Dish has insisted it owns my hardware. Such systemic default claims smack of fraud -- I think Dish hopes some customers won't know any better and will start paying rental fees.

BTW when we called to get the replacement Dish did the hard sell on $6/mo service protection. I am pretty amused when sellers of fancy electronics tell you how great their devices are, charge you a lot to buy said devices, and then tell you their devices aren't really so trustworthy after all, so you should probably buy an extended warranty etc. Which is it, Dish?

I had a terrible experience with my old 510 after a couple of years. New firmware after NBR came in was buggy and Dish had no interest in troubleshooting its own code. I was among many 510 owners who lost timers, had recorded events wiped overnight, could not set new timers, etc. Now I'm wondering if the 922 is equally buggy. There are too many reports of units "overheating" in mid-winter, here and on DBSTalk. Some customers over there are on their 3rd 922 over the course of a year. Coincidentally, this latest round of problems seems to have happened right after the S116 firmware upgrade for many of us.

The only reason I'm still with Dish is that DTV doesn't carry locals. OTOH, I get pretty good OTA reception and have a legacy Panasonic DVR that could do SD recordings. At a certain point the ability to record locals in HD is not going to be worth the aggravation of dealing with faulty Dish hardware and software, especially since the satellite HD broadcasts chop off a substantial part of the picture on both sides ofthe frame.

Advice?

The way I have always understood this is if your receiver is "owned" and it is over the warranty period and you don't have the Service Plan,then it goes bad and you ask DISH for a replacement your "owned" receiver becomes"leased".

But if you do have the Service Plan and your"owned" receiver is over the warranty period and then goes bad.Your "owned" receiver remains"owned".

I don't think I care anymore. Dish's hardware doesn't last long enough or have enough residual market value to be worth investing in. (You'd be a fool to buy a 922 on eBay or craigslist.) It's really better for me if Dish bears as much of the risk as possible that is associated with its own bargain basement hardware manufacturing choices and lousy firmware code.

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?

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.

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.

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.
