Once the disk has spun down (should take less than 30 seconds), everything is safe. Them saying it has to settle for 1/2 hour is B.S.
Stuart...
He was here and gone in a matter of minutes.
He said because I turned off the receiver and moved it, the hard drive went. The tech sold me I had to wait 30 minutes after turning it off to move it.
It's a pile of crap, I know that.
I'm honestly not sure what happened to the receiver in moving it 20 feet, but somehow my hard drive fritzed out.

did you have to pay for a new one? that would suck, I really really dont believe you did something, I mean I guess I could buy the static electricty, but that is a rough pill to swallow
No...
I didn't have to pay, my 5.99 a month insurance through dish paid for the new one. I wouldn't have tv right now if I would have had to pay to replace the receiver.
I think I remember you saying you live in Ohio, I live in Northwest PA. You would have heard me swearing in Ohio, if I would have had to pay for the new box.
We where watching tv before we moved the box, and after we move it. It no longer works. I don't know what else to contribute it to, but sheer bad luck.

I think this is what happen, I think the hard drive was bad before you moved it, when the dvr starts up it automatically does a check disk, it then found out its problems, and shut itself down then, I really dont think you had anything to do with it, and yeah I do live in Ohio, glad you got back up and running
Thats my take too. Not just the hard drive but other receivers can do this too.
I call it "dead on your feet" . Cx has a working receiver till power goes off.
I've gotten in trouble with this myself. When powering up after a service call something is dead. Try to explain that to a cx.

You have to treat the 625's like newborns... I dropped on about 2 feet, still on the box, on the way up the driveway... the thing fizzled out, kept rebooting! It's the only one I've ever had a problem with, and coincidentally, the only one I've dropped!
