DISH Network DVR-625 DTV Receiver / 100-Hours Video Recorder Logo
Anonymous Posted on Dec 23, 2010

My Dish DVR 625 does the "program guide download" or "system update" at its preset time during the night, but when it reboots after the system integrity check, it does not power back on i.e. I have to wake up every morning and do a front panel reset before viewing any programming all over again. Setting up a recording a short time prior to or after the system update doesn't change the situation. Especially, if set up after the sys check, it doesn't record the show w/o a front panel reset. I have also tried to leave the DVR on/off all night, disabled the inactivity standby, changed the sys check time, etc. No go. Any thoughts to fix this other than "get a new receiver" would be appreciated. I say this becoz it otherwise works perfectly. g_balsu 7 days ago And I have of course, tried the hard reset - unplug power cable, leave it off for a certain time, and plug back in. Didn't help either. In above post - correction - not on/off, on and off.

Hello! My name is Becki, and I am with Dish Network Customer Service. The issue that you are referring to could be caused my many things. It could be bad grounding of the system, in which case a technician would be needed, it could be your software is out of date, you need to have L5.44 software (Which you can look this up in your system info screen--menu button twice on the remote) or it could be a power issue. For a power issue, if your receiver is plugged into a surge protector, try to plug it directly into an outlet on the wall. If none of these fix the issue, and your issue isn't already fixed, Blog back, and we can definitely help further!!!! Any additional comments/questions? Blog back,or you can find us on Twitter!!!

    hi Becki, thank you for these answers. I do seem to have the L5.44 software version. I do not understand how this can work for 2 years with a) potentially bad grounding and/or b) plugged in a surge protector, and then go wrong. I will try the direct power socket solution and get back to you.

The hum from my vip 722k dvr box keeps me awake at night. thank you!!

pwgasson,

Some noise from the receivers is normal as they are constantly updating the guide and checking for any software updates. How loud would you say the hum is, and is it constant or intermittent?

My DVR said the my harddrive was corrupt and it need to clean it's self so i let it, and it cleared everthing off my DVR. Now the guide will not load the shows about to come on it keeps saying "Info....

candgr15,

It's possible that after it did the formatting of the DVR it just needs to be reset. Unplug it for 5-10 seconds and plug it back in. It will reacquire signal and the guide.

If that doesn't work run a check switch test from Menu-> System Setup (6)-> Installation (1)-> Point Dish(1). Select check switch then test. Once it's done exit out.

I would also check your timers after the reset to make sure they're setup as they made have been deleted during the reformatting.

My Dish DVR 625 does the "program guide download"

Hello! Dan Busa with Dish Networks customer service department. This sounds like it may be a signal issue, I would make sure the cabling is tight and in good condition. You also want to enable your inactivity standby having it disabled will only make this worse. If everything seems ok you may need a technician.

Guide shows info not available and is recording all kinds of weird stuff.

Recording weird stuff:

sounds like you have accidently created timers.

hit the dvr button 3 times then arrow up to 'Timers'

arrow up to 'Edit List'

here you can select the timers you do not want then select delete

Info Not Available:

run a check switch test

hit menu 6 - 1 -1

highlight 'check switch' and press select

highlight ' test' and press select

wait for the test to finish

if an error pops up there is probably a signal issue, otherwise exit out

you will get attn 015 message, allow this to finish and you will get 330

this is the guide downloading... if this does not happen go to
menu - 6 - 6 and select yes

if it still does not download call dish network

I have been having DISH DVR problems lately. The most recent is my recorded programs list is not showing anything in it. But I only have 13 hours of record time left, so I know they are on there somewhere.

You always want to ensure you have the updates being completed at a time that is most convenient for you, you can change the update time which is generally set to 3am, by going into your MENU selecting option 8 (Preferences) and then selecting option 4 (Updates) you will then be able to change the time the receiver completes updates if you desire and then please just make sure you are shutting your receiver off nightly to allow the updates to be successfully completed (this will help to prevent DVR issues). In addition, once you delete some of your recordings, powering it off nightly allows the hard drive to be refreshed and clears the deleted recording entirely. I hope this helps!

Dish DVR-625 won't record

More than likely the download was interrupted. Take bot remotes and turn off both tuners. When this is accomplished the blue and geen light will be extinguished. Now you will need to wait about thirty minutes for the receiver to turn back on. When it does it should immediately go to downloading software when this completes you should get a new program guide to download. The process is a bit time consuning but should resolve your issue. Thanks for using Fix Ya.

DISH dvr 625

Its most likely the secondary dish that is used for international programming. Your signal is probably low on that to begin with and during inclement weather goes out completely. A tech will go out at a cost to you and get that repaired.
