721 & 508 - Dial Home - How Often - what time?

[Byron56]

We have a 721 and a 508 receiver. The past few days I 've noticed that one of them is dialing out at @ 6 PM in the evening. Is there any way to modify the time that it dials home?

I just keep mine unplugged. And only plug it in on the very rare occasion that I order Pay per View.

Welcome to satellite guys bobandgeri.

As far as I know there is no way to modify when your receivers dial out. I always thought they dialed out late at night.

Response from DISH Tech support was to keep the phone lines unplugged unless ordering a PPV. Fine - except my receivers are in closets out of site and not convienent to get to :< So I pressed them a bit - guess they checked with a 3rd level support and came back and said that one of the receivers must have a modem problem. Now to find out which one it is - disconnect one of the phone lines and watch for it to start calling out at 6 PM in the evening. :>
