    EHD USB 3.0 support?

    Thanks, I guess I'll use the 3TB on my PC. I sounds as though USB 3.0 is not an issue. Is that true? I ask because I was looking at a 2TB WD My Book w/ USB 3.0. Mahalo.

    blank screen on 722 HD Dual Tuner

    My 722k did the black screen plague thing last night. This happened the same way with a 722 last year and was solved by a software update. Screen is black and audio out, but guide, banner and dvr menu all visible. Same issue on both tuners and recorded programs. Clearly a display-only issue...

    FedEx

    Got my 4th replacement 722 in 2 months delivered by UPS yesterday. I asked the guy if he was getting a lot of returns to Dish and he said it's amazing how many. He said that a lot of folks are switching to Direct. Some folks complained about Dish's recent fee increase or equipment breakdowns...

    I will soon be receiving my 4th remanufactured replacement vip722 over a two-month period. After two years or so my original unit had the hard drive burn out and I lost nearly the full contents of the DVR. The 1st replacement unit randomly switched channels on its own. Three different...

    Hawaii HD Mapdown Glitches

    New Glitches Well, now we seem to have a new mapdown problem similar to what the the second poster, g182237 was experiencing a while back. NFL, AMC, SCI, NTGEO, COOK mapdowns sometimes work, sometimes don't. When they don't work, the native channel number does. Example: A program is...

    New software - The new program guide colors suck!!!

    I use all the guides, including the four favorites (short list w/ no ppv or channels I never watch, movie channels, etc.), so switching the colors around really threw me for a loop. I'll get used to it but I sure can't see what the benefit could be. :confused:

    Hawaii HD Premiums - room for missing 16

    Received this response from the executive communications team: Thank you for taking the time to provide your feedback on channel additions for our customers in Hawaii. I have entered these channels into our programming request system, which is used for planning purposes. While, the...

    Someone recommend an external HDD for my receiver

    I have several WD My Book Essentials and my fave is the 2TB. More programming on one drive means less switching between them since you can only connect one at a time. Multi-EHD hub support please.

    Hawaii HD Premiums - room for missing 16

    Sent the info to ceo@echostar.com and also asked via chat to have it forwarded to engineering. I think parts of Alaska are in a similar situation (some areas can pull in 129 conus transponders w/ a six foot dish or so). In Hawaii we can't even pull in 129 conus with a mondo dish. Ironic that...

    Hawaii HD Premiums - room for missing 16

    Hawaii is missing 16 of the HD Premiums that are available in other areas: SK&FM, STZC, STZE, SCINE, SHOTO, SHOCS, SHOWB, TMC-X, SUNDAE, HBOCY, HBOZ, HBOFM, HBOSG, HBO2, 5-MAX, ACMAX They could all fit on the two remaining open tp's that are pointed our direction: tp 23 @ 110 e*10 spot 47 and...

    6/2/2010 4:06pm - Uplink Activity Report - 263 changes

    I'm sure hoping that a bunch of premiums will replace those duplicates. Also, since the Hawaii HD locals moved from 110 to 129, there's room for 8 HD premium channels on tp23 at the e*10 spot 47.

    722 Losing video but still recording

    It got much worse this morning. The black screen didn't clear on re-boot and the menu, guide etc. were all black as well. The only thing that showed up was the finding satellite screen after the re-boot and the screensaver when unit is off. Several reboots including unplugging the unit once...

    2 TB EHD'S are supported!

    I missed that thread somehow. Great news about 2TB EHD support. Mahalo to Pepper for the hub tip. I would only want one EHD powered up at a time anyway, but it's good to know that a USB hub doesn't trip up the receiver.

    2 TB EHD'S are supported!

    My WD My Book Essential 2TB EHD just crossed over the 50% full mark and is still fully functioning and storing additional data. I guess the 1TB limit that was supposedly in effect at some point is no longer the case, at least with this drive. Yahoo! I have a 722 and four WD My Book EHD's...

    Commercial volume control

    The offensive commercials, including the DISH ones :mad: seem to always be in 2.0, therefor could a software fix limit only the stereo 2.0 levels and leave the surround encoded audio alone?

    Echostar 14 update

    I thought HI/AK were getting 2 spots each w/ 5 TP's, but it's actually 1,3,5 on one spot and 2,4 on the other for HI. AK is similar, but w/ one more even TP (10). Still, this is easily enough room to give HI/AK all the missing HD that the contiguous 48 states get. Hawaii is currently missing...

    Which WD EHD is better?

    I have 4 My Book units (650MB, 1TB, 2TB) and they all work fine. Format and go. I have seen posts state that you can only use 1TB of a 2TB EHD. I'm at 25% on my 2TB and it shows 1.5TB of space remaining, so i'm curious to see what happens when I hit the 1TB remaining mark. BTW, what is a...

    Why is alaska and hawaii treated diffrently when it comes to HD?

    The Ceil 2 conus signal @ 129 misses Hawaii and is apparently available in some parts of Alaska w/ a 6 foot dish or so. That seems to be the big HD shortcoming for Hawaii at least. We in Hawaii get the limited 110 conus HD content (but no platinums) as well as several HD channels on a 110...

    New HD is up!

    Nor us 129 (spot only)/119/110 folks in Hawaii either. Looking forward to e*14 launch next month for more HD (hopefully all the HD) via double spot coverage.
