Message: [QUOTE="TG2, post: 2522144, member: 164729"] I've had 625's and now 722k's. My original 625 I had for 5 years. I moved, the original was then used solely for another family member (heavy use like myself) and I added a 625 .... the new 625 lasted 4 months ... then started having hard drive problems ... its in the same room I sleep in ... it actually woke me up one night when the drive started clunking. So .. refurb number one.. and 3 weeks later, it started clunking in the middle of the day ... the following morning after reboot drive was dead. 2nd refurb, lasted for 4 weeks .... hard drive died no clunks heard, just came to find the drive failure one morning. 3rd refurb lasted 6 months.. then ... yup.. drive failure.. the FORTH unit then lasted 2 years, till this past december I upgraded to HD 722k's. Mind you .. this entire time, my original 625 from 2005 had performed flawlessly, and all units are plugged into 350VA UPS's. Just yesterday.. after I attempted to setup recordings for PPV movies and while the TV was off (ie. recording for view this weekend) I started getting repeated reboots. So many so, that I chatted Dish .. and I've a replacement 722k on its way.. trouble is ... as soon as 8pm rolled.. and I had no PPV movies recording, everything seemed fine again .. regular event timers for content on abc & fox, as well as FX fired normally, recorded without a problem... then at 11pm net next PPV event fired .. TV still off this entire time.. and after about an hour.. started getting reboots again. at 2:30am I started watching the stuff I had recorded from the nonPPV channels, and had no more reboots through now.. daily reboot is at 5 am. So.. some things.. like drive failures.. I'm sure happen due to rough handling.. other stuff... dish needs to fix in firmware and just isn't owning up to it.. [/QUOTE]
