How to transfer timers?

[voripteth]

I've upgraded my 622 for a 722 and I'm faced with the rather daunting task of making sure my new DVR still records all the stuff my old one did.

Is there a way to transfer timers between machines? It would be great if I could use a USB drive to copy them. Any idea if this is possible?

No.

I would love to see the ability to plug in a USB memory stick into my 622 and copy my timers to it (then put the memory stick in another receiver and copy the timers back down)

I've upgraded / swapped DVRs about four times so far in my few years with Dish. It's a good bet that it will happen again.

Scott captured my idea exactly. A USB memory stick to copy all the current timers to another machine.

I can see expanding this idea in the future for selective copying of timers. Just to share favorite programs between friends. Could be a nice incentive to get your friends to switch to Dish too.

Or, with DishOnline coming soon, maybe they could implement a way to manage them with your DishOnline acct.

LOL!! While you're at it, see if you can find a way for me to transfer my recordings on my 625 to my new 722 (just upgraded...hate to lose all my ATHF recordings )

YES! That would be great, I am very much looking forward to being able to program timers via DishOnline.

this has been suggested before---but so far neither provider has given us the ability to do it.

There is no way of transfering recording to rcvr to rcvr, if you have a 622, and need it replaced you can put all your recordings on an external hard drive, and then use them on your 722.

The question is about transferring timers for future recording not existing recordings. but alaas you can't do that either.

That is a fantastic idea! They could also add to it the ability to transfer favorites lists this way too.
