New customer worried about DVR reliability

Hello everyone,

We have had cable for 2 years, but after canceling our cable internet, the cable TV as a stand alone seems too expensive, not to mention there is no DVR service.

So I called dish network and set up installation for next week.

Today I was researching, trying to find out how best to hook up a DVD recorder to the DVR, when I found all kinds of sites, stating how unreliable the dish network DVRs are.

My questions here are as follows.

One, can anyone advise me on whether or not dish network is really as unreliable as some say? I don't know what DVR I will be getting (not HD, so I'm guessing the 625?) but from what I've read, all of them are quite susceptible to erasing all stored programs! Some people believe it is a problem more with the software conversion than anything. But regardless of what the cause is, I do not want to risk losing all my stored programs- that defeats the purpose of getting a DVR!

Two, is it better to sign a contract with dish and have the equipment covered (although from what I understand, you cannot upgrade to a newer model), or is it better to pay the $50 (the only difference in a contract vs non contract set up) and not be stuck (but running the risk of having to pay shipping on any faulty equipment.)

Before I contacted dish, I was looking into buying a DVR (w/o service) with a built in DVD burner and just continuing on with cable. Has anyone tried something similar? Although it would be more expensive, I would rather do what is most reliable.

I would appreciate any info before I embark on my satellite adventure!

Thank you.

Keep in mind that when your reading forums that your only getting a few peoples perspective and that its easy to have multiple personalities on the web if that makes sense. Now I have a 508 pvr and I have at several times in the last year experienced audio drop out on recorded events on specific channels at specific times. I also have been employeed by Dish for over 5 years and generaly the dvr/pvr doesnt come up more than maybe once every other month on the average on a trouble call issue and most of the time its not a fault of the unit itsself.

I have had a 522 for 9 months now and have never lost any programs.
It works great for the most part and I couldn't live without it.
annoying occasional audio dropouts has been my biggest gripe and thats really a minor
Issue.

Thank you everyone - your posts were objective and informative, and I feel better about going with dish network and their equipment.

Do most of you sign contracts with dish network, or just do it month to month? I know there are advantages and disadvantages to both.

Thanks again.

I've had Dish and a 522 (dual tuner DVR) for 13 months now. I love the functionality, but I have had some trouble with the unit. Some minor trouble, such as audio drop outs and little video pixelation. Those seem to be more a function of the software release. At version 2.55 now, they are more prominent to me, I had a better environment with 2.53.

I had to have the DVR replaced by Dish two months ago, because the timers would erase or when they fired they would not save the recording. I also experience total freezes of the image a good number of times, requiring me to unplug the receiver. I believe that was a hard disk problem on the unit. However, if you hang around these forums long enough, you will see that this is not an uncommon problem. The new (refurbished) unit that I receive turns on its fan much more often than my original one did, leading me to believe that they have been adjusting the temperature settings on these units over time. (again, you will read about this issue as well).

However, I have never lost an existing recording.

I certainly like the convenience and functionality of the 522, I only hope it was a bit more solid throughout.

I lease it from Dish, and now I signed up for the Dish Protection Program because the service stopped working about a month ago, and a technician visit is 90 or 99 bucks, with the DPP its 6 bucks a month plus 30 dollar visit. (In my case, what failed were the attenuators that the installers put on some of the cables and my receiver could no longer perform a check switch successfully).

We have had the 522 (actually two, since a replacement for a bad box) for almost a year, and overall, it has been OK. The main problem we have is with a couple of channels, namely 300 (HBO main), and 183 (A&E) which tend to lose usuable signal more often than not. Our dish is unobscured and shows good signal strength, over 90 most times, yet still drops out. Strangely, if we call up those channels on TV1, it often brings back the desired channel on TV2 until we switch back. Rebooting doesn't help, but we sometimes have to do it to get audio and video on TV2. Replacing the receiver didn't help. We are now on L2.55 software, which didn't seem to change much, except to delay receiver commands.

Now in the Hornets and Hurricanes markets we just get the TV promise screen. But Directv still charges sports fee I am assuming.
Luckily my DTV stream package doesn't have a rsn fee. Figure DTV that always says is the leader in sports would have come to an agreement by now.

Greenville-New Bern is $11.99 for MASN (Orioles) and Nationals
Raleigh is $11.99 for MASN and Nationals
Charlotte is $12.99 for BravesVision, MASN, Nationals and Reds

The fee in NC also includes the higher in state rate they have to pay for ACCN. Down in SC the fee is $15.99 as they are also a SEC state.
I'm not sure if they're doing it with those teams, but in some markets they also use the fee to cover the additional cost they have to pay for independents and MyNet stations that picked up full season NHL and NBA rights.

If you go to the TVPromise site, you'll likely be able to get a credit for not getting the Hurricanes and additional Hornets games that air on WITN-D2

jamieh1 said:

Part of the hold out might be the packaging and price for outer areas like how the Thunder needs sports pack for other states. Hopefully they are also pushing for a guarantee from the teams that they would require whoever wins their local broadcasting rights in 2028 to negotiate with MVPDs. Commercial distribution rights are probably a factor too.

I'm guessing they got a deep discount for the Clippers based on how long it took them to officially announce ClipperVision and their KTLA simulcasts after they were basically handed a multi-year draft death penalty.

The Predators and Pistons channels are using feeds supplied by Scripps Sports

The Heat likely depends on whoever they sign for the Fort Myers DMA, as there's no point in paying a high price for the Heat just for that DMA when WPLG is streaming it for free on their app and website for viewers in the Miami DMA, and they already carry the West Palm Beach station.

Apparently I'm not a big enough nerd

since I did not read every Marvel Comic Book ever published. If I had, I might be comparing the comics' version of events compared to what's transpiring in "Visionquest". So, I am enjoying the series a lot, not weighed down by previous expectations, knowing only the Avengers MCU movies and the "Wandavision" / "Agatha All Along" TV series.

I found the Mr Know-it-All channel from his discussion about "Star Trek: Strange New Worlds" and he's been gleefully picking these episodes apart, referencing the Marvel comics from the 1939 on. Turns out A.I. has been around since before World War II, at least in the comics. (Robots before that, yes, yes.) This show is going back into the archives.

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....

Washington Post

SpaceX has held talks with Boost's parent company EchoStar in recent months about launching its own signature wireless service through a deal with the company, according to two people familiar with the negotiations.
Musk, the SpaceX CEO, has discussed the deal personally, meeting with EchoStar chairman Charlie Ergen last month, according to the people. The potential deal may result in SpaceX acquiring Boost Mobile or SpaceX gaining access to its network, which it leases from AT&T and T-Mobile US, the people said.
Access to those lease agreements would be a coup for SpaceX. The back door would allow Musk to make a play for a U.S. wireless market that equity research firm MoffettNathanson estimates is worth $235 billion. But the proposed service may need consent from those carriers for the service to actually launch, the people said.

Saved OTA list on Dish can't be appended

I have Dish with Hopper3. I choose to get local channels OTA and had a "guide list" established at my previous home. Having moved a few miles away, I wanted to update the list by appending a couple new stations via a rescan. As many would know, some stations come in with the UHF/VHF antenna aimed in one direction, while others come in better with a different direction.

Unfortunately, when a scan is done (bringing in 25-30 stations for that particular antenna aim), the dialog screen does not present the established guide list; it presents an empty field to the right that the scanned stations may be selected one by one and added to the empty guide. But because of antenna aim, some stations originally saved are missing, and would have to be retrieved with a different antenna aim. But as I explain, if a 2nd scan is done with a different antenna aim, the stations saved from the first scan are lost.

It troubles me that Dish didn't develop software that would allow a user to simply append only 1 or 2 channels to the established list.

Any thought on this? Has anyone experienced this or heard of this from others?

I could very well be wrong....it has been a LOT of years but back when I had a 722K it seemed like when you went back to the scan screen that you could just scan again and it would ADD those channels to the previous list or you could delete the previous results and only add the channels from the new scan.

I am not sure about that but I do know that you could manually add additional channels just by entering the actual RF channel number and the older receivers would add the virtual channels to your list

Like I said.....that has been many years ago. Swapped my 722K for a Hopper in 2012.

It does seem like I remember having to delete the existing channels when we did a rescan. Back then our local stations KEPT monkeying around with things and it was non-stop complaints from customers about their channels not coming in. Got so bad that I stopped selling OR installing OTAs....something I had been doing since 1984 so you know it HAD to be pretty bad.

Bengals fans acting like Burrow just won the MVP after his performance. I get it. 6 scores is awesome. But. He also turned the ball over 4 times and required overtime to beat the 1-win Titans. So spare me the parade.
Chiefs. Not because they lost. It was a close game decided on the last play vs. a divisional rival on the road. That's always rough. But because of their whining over the CLEAR flag they got on the would-be winning play. They are used to getting the calls, and when they don't, they complain. Honorable mention to Mahomes for this quote: "I mean, at the end of the day, you have to go with whatever is called, but a lot of times in those big moments, the little stuff doesn't get called like that"... so you admit it was a penalty?? Just shut up, man.
Colts. They began the fire sale earlier in the week, and it showed. This team is cooked; Daniel Jones should go to the bench, and Steichen will be fired pretty soon.
Chargers. Wow. That's all I got.
Miami. For having the Pats sort of on the ropes and letting them go.
Eagles. Another team that should consider selling some assets. They are going nowhere.

Honorable mention to Mahomes for this quote: "I mean, at the end of the day, you have to go with whatever is called, but a lot of times in those big moments, the little stuff doesn't get called like that"... so you admit it was a penalty?? Just shut up, man.
Colts. They began the fire sale earlier in the week, and it showed. This team is cooked; Daniel Jones should go to the bench, and Steichen will be fired pretty soon.
Chargers. Wow. That's all I got.
Miami. For having the Pats sort of on the ropes and letting them go.
Eagles. Another team that should consider selling some assets. They are going nowhere.

Mahomes is the biggest cry baby I have ever seen. He thinks he's privileged or something.

Just the same vilification as players like Brady experienced, a product of their success and largely overblown (just like them 'getting all the calls').

Well you see him more because he is incredibly talented. And yes, typically players try to spin things being in their favor. This isn't cricket where sportsmanship (except in Australia) is expected.

The only people who deny what Brady got from the officials are Brady fans

The NFL, for some time, has protected the marquee quarterbacks. Brady, Mahomes, Allen, Burrow - they all get the calls.
The lower tier QBs don't seem to get the same benefit. For instance, some of the hits that Darnold took from Chicago on Monday night would have been a flag frenzy if any of the marquee QBs were hit like that. And I am not in any way a fan of anything Seahawks related. I am a fan of balanced officiating - and that hasn't been the case for a while.

My team is not immune to this - Fred Warner laid some vicious hits in the Commanders game that I thought should have been flagged - one was, but they picked it up.

Not a good look on NFL officials.
