722k question

[rstaples312]

Over the years (17 total and 14 at my current residence) I have upgraded or replaced receivers several times. It is an EXTREME pain to have to reprogram all of my recordings each time. It is even more annoying now that we have regular season programs AND off season programs that must be re-programed. I currently have a 722k that I LOVE and actually chose over the new Hopper. Is there ANY way to copy or make a backup of my timers from the receiver and then upload them back later? I would LOVE to have this feature and thought that Dish was going to add this feature.
Also, is it just my settup or has anyone else had problems recording directly to their ERD lately? I can copy or move programs back and forth without a problem, but if I schedule a recording to go directly to the ERD, the recording trigers but nothing records on the ERD.


TIA

Richard

I believe you can do it with the remote. I remember reading instructions and even did it myself but can not find the directions I wrote down. Check out the Hopper section as that is where I read about it.

System wizard button on the remote, then follow on screen instructions. I believe it is available with the 722k but not 722. I could be wrong though, stranger things have happened.

The record to ERD only pertains (ed) to the old, now basically defunct pocketdish. Why the feature is still there is beyond me. It does not apply to normal EHDs (external hard drives). Never has. Moving back and forth is it.

This is correct. Only on the K model, not the plain vanilla ViP722.

While pointing the remote at your receiver, press and hold 0 (system wizard button), then follow on screen prompts to backup settings. While the 2 way communication is going on, it's recommended that the remote not be moved, so place it on a solid surface in front of the receiver.
