Why wont my vip 722 receiver from dishnetwork stay running

The cables connected are in the wrong spaces, either on the receiver or the television. Using component style cables, Green, Red, Blue for video, and White, Red for audio, one of the video cables is in the wrong spot. Using RCA type cables, Yellow for video, White, Red for audio, the Yellow is inserted into a green component somewhere. The ViP 722 is compatible with HDMI, which has a much higher resolution (1080p max with the ViP 722) and a better refresh rate (the ViP 722 max is 30Mhz), and as there is only one cable for both audio and video, is much easier to use, if your TV is compatible, you should look into using HDMI instead,

Dear ir:
Yes you can do it, follow the step in your instruction manual.

God bless you

artisticwall,

An overheating receiver can definitely be a big problem. Make sure the receiver has good ventilation and a good air flow to ensure it stays cool. If the overheating problem continues the receiver may need to be replaced.

I hope this has been resolved by now for you, but if you need assistance or have any questions let me know here or if it's account specific you can reach me at [email protected]

Hello this is luke. I do not know of any 04 ee error code on dish network. The closest will be 004. Try to check if it is coming from the receiver or from the tv by unplugging the receiver from wall outlet while tv is on. If the code stays, then it is from the tv, if it goes away with the lights on receiver, it is from the receiver. Let me know.

you can use the drive as a upgrade but you have to buy the 1 time option from dish. i think they charge about $20 to turn the option on

Sounds like a signal strength issue. You may have either a low signal or something like a tree limb is blowing into the signal path dropping the signal strength to a point low enough to causes issues.

ic_technolog,

External Hard Drives are not supported on the 510 receiver. The 211, 211k, 411, 612, 622, 722, 722k, and 922 are all capable of having an external hard connected via the USB port on the receiver and a one time activation fee of $40. I hope this helps.

Try setting up your audio sync. press menu then 6-1-7 if you have HD programming select high defenition and Done. This should help with sync issues, if your problem still persists contact dish or go to www.dishnetwork.com/tech.

Unfortunately, there is no way of saving your DVR, i would ask Dish for an upgrade to a Vip series rec, for example a 622 or 722 which can allow the use of an external hard drive. it also sounds like your root problem is with the voltage in the outet your dvr in connected to, try to plug directly into wall, if it is already, have an electrician check your voltage to prevent future issues.
