Server Issues. We are very aware that there have been system issues the past few days. In troubleshooting the system, it has been determined that the issue is at our provider and is hardware related. The provider was going to move us to a new server, however we are now told by the provider the issue is at the data center in St. Louis. They have offered to move us to a different datacenter on the East Coast or West Coast, however at this time we have declined the move to a different data center as it would affect the speed of connecting to about half our members.
We are waiting for more information from our provider, however we are trying to ride this out to stay in the same data center, so that when the server is fixed all users in the US will get the fastest connection possible.
If after some time the issue is not resolved we will be forced to move to another data center, if this happens there will be down time, as they will need to transfer everything to the new server and we will need to update the DNS and other settings for the new IP address of the new server. If we have to do this, the time it will take to move will be out of our hands.
We are going to try our best to weather through this, so we thank you in advance if you encounter any issues.
Sorry for the issue!

Nothing questionable about it. DigitalOne needs to check out the Yahoo Group called "Dishmod". They list the parts and procedures necessary.
My friend did this and has the hard drive in a seperate box outside the unit in a removable HDD bay, he can swapp HDDs out and archieve his shows that way or transfer them to DVD by placing them in a bay on his computer.
Imagine the money would make if Dish did their own removable HDD system... sure there would be the techno guys who would work around them, but the average user would buy drives directly from them. One thing I have learned with DVRs, there is NEVER enough space for everything.
