Ok since you have A 625 it uses different technology than the 4000 in a sense but I will assume that whomever connected the 625 use a Dish Pro Plus LNB. You can verify this by going out to the dish and looking at the LNB which is the eyes if you will on the dish. The cover facing you will read DP Plus, or Dish Pro, Dish Network, or you may have nothing at all on the housing. You will want it to say DP Plus for the easiest install.
On this LNB there are three ports. You will only need the two on the left if looking at it so you can not read the housing. One of the ports will be connected to a line running to the 625 and the other to the 4000. The line going to the 4000 should not contain any breaks in it after the ground block if one was used. Once inside the house connect the line from the lnb for the 4000 to the back of the receiver. Conect the receiver to the TV and run a check switch. This receiver will go into a test of 1 of 38 if all connections are good. A 1 of 50 indicates a loss of signal somewher on that side of the install.

The 625 can utilize di plexers but that type of install is to detailed to go into straight away so we will connect it using a straight feed to TV2. Run the cable from the LNB into th room with the 625. Inside connect that line to a siver device called a seperator that came with the receiver and connect the two leads from it to the sat in ports on the back of the receiver. Connect a line to the Home distribution port on the back of the receiver and run it to the room with the second tv you want to have DVR in such as a mater bedroom etc.Connect the cable from the tv out port on the receiver to the tv. Power all devices on and run a check switch. This test should read 1 of 3 if all connections are good. A bad connection will read 1 of 38 on the receiver. A total absence of signal will stay at 1 of 1 for a longt ime brfore going to 1 of 38.

You will need to call dish and activate the 4000 rx since it has not been on the account for some time and will need a software update that they will send to it via satellite.

Other obstacles could arise and if they do let me know. Thanks for using Fix Ya.

I have dish Network DVR-625 DTV Receiver, I want to hook up a Xfinity cable modem. How do I achieve this

The 625 receiver does not support any internet functionality. You would need to upgrade to a newer receiver box.

How do I get closed captioning on my 625 dish dvr.

Guest,

The 625 receiver does not have a setting to control closed caption. This is a setting from your TV itself. I would look at your TV manual to see how you can turn the feature on. I hope this helps.

I have a 61.5 system with lagacy receivers, can I replace one of the lagacy receiver with a 625 DVR.

Yes! You can definitely upgrade one of your legacy receivers to a DVR-625 receiver. I would be more then happy to assist you with this upgrade, if you decide you would in fact like to do so. In addition, since we have migrated from the 61.5 satellite orbital (no longer use 61.5), we may need to also upgrade your current satellite DISH. In order to determine what EXACTLY will be necessary for you to upgrade your system, I would need to take a look at your DISH Network account. If you'd like me to look into this further for you, please feel free to contact me directly with your information. My e-mail is [email protected]. I hope this helps & hope to hear from you soon!

The dishnetwork. Sighn just dances around the screen I push select and nothing happens

This sounds like this may be an issue with your tv 2, make sure your remote is in sat mode by pressingthe sat button. then select, if still nothing take your remote to the recvr and look on the back of the recvr to make sure the uhf ant. is standing straight up if not, straighten and try remote functions. if you stillg et no responce there could be other issues that are simple to fix depending on what kind of equipment you have. you can call 800-333-3474 for assistance or reply with recvr name or model #.

My dish dvr remote only works on satellite from zero inches away from reciever. The remote works on the tv from 20 feet away. Have tried wiggling the antenna, etc. Any other ideas?

Check your batteries.. Trust me on this it happens lol..Also do you have anything on top of the tv like a VCR or DVD player? That can cause that also. If your able too control the reciver with the remote than it could be a number of these things. Just check ubstructions anything that can be blocking it. Some newer model tv's have a light censor that causes the remo too stop working as well. If its a newer model like an HD tv this could be your issue as well

The rewind/ff/record and pause buttons won't work. Everything else seems fine.

This will be due to either your Hard Drive crashing if you cant also access your recordings. if so then i would reccommend call dish At 800-333-3474 bercause your 721 DVR is outdated and discontinued. It also is in patent dispute with tivo. When you contact dish they will offer you a new dual tuner DVR reciver with way more recording time. this upgrade should be free of charge as well.

I want to record to a external hard drive in order to take to Ira

If you have a dish network system as listed in post a DVR 625 this is NOT possible, it will only work with VIP series Dish Network recivers. and they must be used on teh same model reciever such as Vip 722, tranfer to EXT HD then Watch on another 722!

MY RECIVER GOT ZAP BY DISH NETWORK

dish network does not "zap" recievers. if you have a pirated system such as a rom 102 card you will need to purchase a new card from a local pirater or online , they run a bout 50 bucks. You should definelty consider calling dish and staring up an ligitimate account if piracy is the case. in order to avoid futre issues.
