Hi I will be more than glad to assist you in this concern. First press the power button on the front panel of the receiver for 10secs. once you press it the receiver will turn off and it should turn on by itself, once it turns on by itself you will see attention 015, press the menu button on the upper left of the remote, once you see the menu button press 6, 1, 1 on the remote and it should show on the screen point dish, select on check switch, once u are on the installation summary screen, select on test and it should do a test of 1 of 3 or it depends on your sat orbital location that u have.. once its done, it will show the installation summary screen and you should see sat input 1 & 2 with port1 up to 2 or 3 depends on your sat orbital location, all the trans on the sat 119, 110 or 129 if you have should be ok and green. once you see that all ok, select done on the screen, and it will be back to point dish, select done again, and then cancel all the way out of the menu, it should show on the screen attention 015, let it finish until it download the programming guide, once its done it should show a tv pic. press the dvr button and access your recorded event, it should play the dvr event. if the problem still exist, unplug the power of the dvr from the power outlet for 1 minunte then plug it back again and it should acquire the sat signal and download the programming guide, once it shows a pic. press again the dvr button and access the recorded event. it should play the recorded event, just incase the problem still exist, check what will be the exact error msg, write it down in a piece of paper and please feel free to get in touch or you can call on 1-800-333-3474..in order to for the dish tech support replace the receiver, this is a dvr lost of function.

It wont let us playback one of our recorded shows. It is labeled as error code: 05

The first thing you want to do is to delte that one recording. Once its deleted make sure your other events are playing well. If all is good that just simply means that one event was corrupted. If the problem keeps happing please let me know there is also some other troubleshooting that we can do to see if its a deeper issue amybe with the hard drive.

Dish Network DVR 625 Problem with playback of recorded shows

It sounds as though the hard drive is about to go south on you soon and the receiver is going to need to be replaced however, in the interim you can change the options of the recordings and make it a default so that the recording continues past the end of the show. It is possible that extending this time will allow you to view the portion you want before it skips to the end. In order to do this press the guide button and select a program in the future. On the create timer screen select the option icon. You will now be at the timer options screen you can extend the time the recording will last after the end of the show and when it will begin recording prior to the show. I would also set this as your systems default so that it performs the same way regardless of what you are recording. According to the latest known receiver issues this is not identified as it is a common indication that the hard drive has an error internally. If this works I suggest that you have a replacement sent to you so that you do not lose the use of your DVR un-expectantly.Remember to watch all recorded events prior to replacement as you will lose that info when the receiver is swapped. Thanks for using Fix Ya.

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.

Can I record antenaTV on my Dish PVR-625

Officially, no you would not be able to since you no longer pay the $5.98 DVR fee which Dish charges for the DVR. Wish I could have given you better news. Thanks for using Fix Ya and let me know if I can further assist you.

Recovery of content on DVR-625 hard drive

usually hard drive failure boils down to files not opening succesfully, or a random internal failure, not a physical issue with the hard drive, however because dish network repairs these issues on a large scale the fix is to wipe the software and start over which means all recordings are lost, unfortunately recovering these recordings is basically impossible... if you often record things which are imperative to your business i would suggest getting a 622/722 dvr which will allow you to download these recordings to an external hard drive via usb, you will have unlimited use uploading and downloading programs for a one time fee of about 40$
