722k No Ability to Hide DVR Events

[johnarose]

Just got a 722k, love it. Just hooked it up to my Sony 820 receiver and programmed the remote for it. Awesome.


I see that there is a way to hide and/or block adult content. However, not all adult content is on adult channels, Cinemax plays a lot of adult-type content, etc.

But there doesn't seem to be a way to hide DVR'd programs. For example, I don't want a vistor using my system to see that I've recorded certain programs. Is there a way to password protect a list of DVR'd programs?


If not, what is the best way to request this enhancement from Dish Network?

You could try a rating lock. I do this for my kids ... if it is above G it prompts for a passcode.

You could also archive onto a Hard Drive the movies you want hidden, then disconnect it from the receiver. You may want to purchase an additional small drive just for those.

activate the external hard drive option then you can store all of your "adult content on there and disconnect when not watching.

Brilliant minds think alike!

hdaddikt beat me to it Also you can rename programs and lock if you find the titles offensive

I understand how John feels. My wife DVR's American Idol and the Bachelor. I would be embarrassed if people saw that crap on my DVR too.

To avoid further "embarrassment" you can also use the Edit Name feature to give it a title that won't be so obvious that it is "adult."

Hehe, I didn't think about the "Edit Name" feature. Time to play some tricks on my wife.

This is funny ... changing all of my wife's soap operas to SG or BSG ... might be on the couch for a while though ... it might be worth it

:up Now THAT was funny. I hear you can find a good deal on a 2TB Western Digital external drive this week.

I have one external hard drive just for PORN. I only plug it in when needed.

Good point! I certainly do not know how most people spend their time, or fill their storage space!
A 'porn drive' has a certain ring to it!
