I have tried it without the Hard Drive. In fact, I read over on the Video Freezes on Playback thread and saw someone else was having issues, so I removed the EHD. The behavior of the video freezing or blacking out when tuning a Satellite channel remains. It's probably bad VRAM or something. Like I said, I was able to play back the video that was in progress when the video froze last night, so it seems to be received, decoded, and stored on the EHD fine. It's somewhere in the decoding and sending to the video output that has a problem. It could be the HDMI, except all the overlays and menus appear fin (just over the frozen or black screen).Could the problem be your hard drive? Have you tried running with no HD connected?
I ordered it from SolidSignal. They mentioned it may be New or it might be Refurbished/Remanufactued. That's why I said "new".Did you order it from Dish or from a retailer?
Oh, it eventually "recovered" to a receiver, but it's part-time at best.After reading the OP's posts, I could have told him that the receiver not completing boot recovery means its a boat anchor.
The math works out closer to .4K, so I'm going to have to say "nope"...Is that one of them new 4K tvs?![]()
And if they would rather have one that never had Foxbat's problem, I have a ViP211 (non-k) sitting in a closet not doing anything that I am willing to sell.Sale it to an SG member. Sure someone on here would love to have it.
This is why I'm a Pack-Rat. I pulled my Dish 300 w/Dish Pro Single LNBf upstairs to the guest bedroom (since it faces East) and set the dish on the hip roof, aiming to the SE. I was able to pull in a signal in the 50s by hand, propping the Dish 300 between the roof and the house siding, keeping it stable by the angle of my hand.I can't tune in OTA without a satellite signal, either.
If I want to sell this, I will go into the Pub Sales area. It was not my intention to look for buyers, more for an opinion as to whether people thought it might sell, given the particular history of my receiver.Scott Greczkowski you ok with this, as it's not really the intention of comin here to sale but to help each other out???
If your receiver gets deauthorized, you can call Dish to reactivate it long enough to check what you wanted to check, then call Dish back to deactivate it. Dish allows you to activate / deactivate purchased receivers as often as you like, without charging any kind of Change of Service fee.I realize I'm on borrowed time, though, as I'm not sure what happens when my receiver gets the Deauthorization Hit. Do I lose my ability to access my EHD and the timers? I guess I need to work fast!
