  1. General DISH™ Discussion
    That WOULD have been a good point, in one sense... A few months after I bought it on eBay, I was having frequent reboot episodes. I knew if it went belly up, that was my problem, since it was MY box. BUT, surprisingly, when I called them (I don't remember why I did), they said they'd replace it...

    I bought my 625 on eBay a few years ago, after calling to confirm that the seller owned it to sell, and that it wasn't leased. All was fine, and got it activated. I am not a contract customer. 5 months later, I saw that I was paying a lease fee, and after some warm discussion, they removed 5...

    What does your TV transmit? So this morning I'm reading a blog about OnStar and FBI lawsuit, and the blogger says he's not worried that his TV can do the same things as his OnStar-equipped vehicle. Then I remembered a story I read many years ago: This transmitter was not in this TV by design...

    I was thinking of this here, Mr. Smith, or some type of file system recovery... When it 'Cleaned' the disk, I'm guessing it didn't do a 'zero' fill, or any comparable function, before re-formatting???

    It was pretty full, with the good stuff WAH. It's ready to go now, with a clean drive, and no error messages. I've heard HDD's failing, with the arm clicking, but this one is not doing that. I cancelled service 2 weeks ago, and dis-connected from the dish. The same day, I got those "Pay your...

    Yesterday, I canceled my Dish service. The bill is paid to date. BEFORE i called to cancel, I unplugged the cable from the dish, just to make sure of what info/data DIDN'T get loaded into the receiver - it's a 625. Later in the day, I was watching a recorded program, and the 'Pay your bill'...

    What I was looking for... I don't think you could FORCE water through the bolt hole, probably not even with vacuum pressure from the inside?
  8. General DISH™ Discussion
    I just called to cancel service, and the rep said no problem, your final bill will be $11 plus change. "We'll send you a box for you to return the receiver". :confused: They can send a box if they want to, but this receiver is going back on eBay where I bought it in '09. And I told her so. She...

    I'm with ya' on this one... I thought my remote needed butter (thinkin' it was toast). My biggest headache comes from 'System Integrity Check', only when I have 2 vids recording. :mad: Bug tho'? Don't know; don't care... And to think I just solved the heat-related re-boots too :rolleyes: (625)

    I want to enable the 'Set up TV1 to operate in UHF PRO' option. Does TV2 then DEFAULT to #1 remote (RF), or does it have to be SET for #1 remote? I cannot tune on my computer's TV tuner card the input from output #2, so I fed output #1 to the computer, and left the TV set with #2 input...

    How do I bring up the Haup controller? (drivers ARE updated) Sound card controller settings are all UNmuted...
  12. General Satellite Discussion
    Video is coming in good, but I cannot find audio... Source is my 625 SD receiver, with coax into the Hauppauge 500 PCI card. I think I'm missing an internal configuration setting, with the Haup PCI -> sound card link. Help?
  13. DIRECTV General Discussion
    Just got off the phone with a Dish CSR. He said the 'Antenna' input, regardless of the signal, will play, BUT, it will not record, UNLESS the signal allows it to integrate into the broadcast programming, and show up in the guide display. And RF input does not do this. That sound right...
  14. DIRECTV General Discussion
    Ok - makes a little more sense here; I understand the 625 putting out RF. And no receivers, Direct TV, or Dish, will record RF input?
  15. Standard Definition Receiver Support Forum
    Yes. I already have a tuner card in my computer, but I'd rather transfer the movies to a newer DVR - play them on the old 625, with the 'Output to TV' connected to the 'Antenna input', on a newer receiver.
  16. DIRECTV General Discussion
    If they do not have analog -> digital encoders, then what is the AM21 OTA module to which Yoda refers? And he says that the HR20 already has the AM21 tuner that allows viewing and recording OTA. I'm confused here...
  17. DIRECTV General Discussion
    Yes - DishNW 625 'Line Out', through the coax, into the 'Antenna Input', on another Direct TV receiver, to re-record.
  18. Standard Definition Receiver Support Forum
    My 625 is still going, a year later (holding breath :lol: ) So are these 2 still the only ones that will record antenna input? I have 60 movies in the 625, and re-recording them through antenna input is the only option??? The new receiver can be SD or HD.
  19. DIRECTV General Discussion
    Do any Direct TV receivers do this? My Dish 625 is getting old, and when it goes, I don't want to lose my recordings. I'm thinking of going to Direct TV, and I'm looking at receivers on eBay (if they're clear). What models will do this? Standard def or high def doesn't matter. Thanks here...

    Got the PM there, PSmith, thanks. (reply refused; box full, incoming blocked... email?)
