I am considering cancelling my Dish service, and was wondering if I would still be able to use my reciever to access all of the stuff on the DVR and Hard drives that i have recorded after my service is cancelled. I currently have the VIP622.

Thanks.

Once the receiver gets the turn off signal than NO you wont be able to access anything on the receiver that is already on there.

Menocare,

Assuming you actually purchased your Dish receiver and not leased it, you will be able to playback any recordings on your DVR without having A Dish Subscription.

Just make sure you disconnect the sat inputs and phone line/ethernet before you make the call to cancel, you can than watch anything on it but not on a EHD.
