Although the US Government has opted to push the digital transition back a few months, we're still fairly confident that it will eventually happen. When it does, everyone receiving over the air television will still need a converter box if their TV doesn't have a built in digital tuner. Dish Network has three options available if you find yourself in that situation. We've had a chance to check out their DVR option, the DTVPal DVR.
Does anyone know if Dish's DTVPal will accept an external hard drive for expanding recordings? Also, would recordings transferred
from the VIP722 be compatible with The DTVPal?
I got my DTV Pal DVR in mid January. I updated from f201 to f202 firmware.
I have had constant reboots!
I can be watching live TV or recorded events and the screen will go blank then the device reboots.
Many people are having these issues. I just hope they can be fixed in a firmware update since all sales are final from Dish Network and their warranty only lasts for 90 days!
If they would fix this issue I would be completely satisfied with the device.
Same issue: Random Reboots w/ Firmware 202. I have emailed tech support and will see where this takes me. For now, a big annoyance, but not catestrophic.
