TV switch to live tive when wtaching recorded program

SOURCE: Dish VIP 612 breaks up when playing back recorded shows.

Edy, I am not going to say that this is the definite issue but Dish only has receivers that are 1080i compatible at the time which will give you some blurring and possible pixellating. 1080p will resolve these issues in the future. Therefore if you still need help let me know.

SOURCE: Dvr not working. Won't record, pause rewind

Try unplugging the unit from the electrical outlet for about five minutes- much longer than required- and try it again. If this fails you will need a service technician to resolve the issue. Thanks for using Fix Ya.

SOURCE: Just got VIP722K DVR. How can I watch live tv

I talked to a smart customer service person last night and he fixed the problem. You have to go the the actual unit....this fix can not be done with the remote on the 722. One the front of the unit there are 2 panels that will open up when you push them. Open the one on the right and you will see a "MODE" button. Push the button and follow the on screen prompts using the arrow keys next to the "mode buttone" to go to single mode. Once you do this the 2nd TV will be forced to watch what is on the 1st TV but you will now be able to recored 2 things at once on TV1. This solution is only a problem if you are watching both tv's at the same time on separate channels.....if you are recording on one of the tv's and then try to change the channel on either of the tv's the channel will now change on both tv's. Sounds confusing but trust me....it fixed the problem.
