I have wondered that myself, my 922 seems to reboot every morning at 3am.
Code:
# crontab -l -u root
0, 3 * * * shutdown -r now
#You wouldn't do that on a DLNA server.
I can play those files as they are on my Boxee Box.
But could Dish DLNA play the VOB files that are inside the ISO if you extracted them directly into a directory?
It's play streaming files, not archives or ISO packages what need to be processed by ISO's decomposer.

They probably do not really need to do this anymore, but since they figured out it fixed 90% of the 921s problems 5 years ago, they have had every DVR since do it. But, it is easier to do this than to be sure they can run years at a time.

Not built in. But you could put a Sling Link at your router and another one behind the Hopper.

They all reboot overnight. On a 722, you can set the time by Menu-8-4. After the overnight reboot it goes into Stand By. So I think the person who said it updates in Standby was in error.
Perhaps you are not aware, but Standby mode is not what you think, DVR is still running all tasks just ceased decoding video/audio and stop pumping it to video/audio outputs.
Standby is when you leave it plugged in, but "turned off." It actually is still on, for some functions. Such as updates.

What do you mean I'm learning? I've known that years. I've been with Dish for over 14 years. I was just clarifying another posters comment.
When it come to internals algos, we all know NOTHING, but still learning for last 32 years (since dish start selling C BUDs).
Your these two posts just expose how much you know.

My IQ is higher than your IQ! I kid, I kid. So Scott, have you heard any details on having just 2 Hoppers or 2 Hoppers and 1 Joey? I would think it's doable but is Dish going to allow it on March 15th?
