your tv2 led power lights can be turned while the dual mode lights are on. why? your tuner2 never turns off it will be just placed on standby for purposes of updating and downloading info onto the tuners memory. to answer your question why the mode light stayed lit up even the tv1 & tv2 led's are off; it stays on because your dvr function stays on always as standby for timers that are programmed to record. if you have questions technically, call us at dishnetwork.
also. even when the tuner on tv2 is turned off, a signal is still being sent to tv 2 so the dual mode light will always be on when activated. and as for the tv 2 led, it shouldnt turn on since you have it brodcasting on tv1 but it will record on tv 2s partition of your hard drive. hope this helps
Hello, Im commenting because i work for a company contracted through dish network and we work on these things, first off, the dual mode light is on simply because your VIP722k dvr is a Dual tuner, when the tv is set for tv 2 and tv1 then the light will be on, when PIP is in service, that will be on. 2nd of all, when you reboot the receiver, it wont always reset all of your settings. when you set the receiver out of dual mode you can control tv1 with the tv 2 remote. read next comment for more
I think your a little confused on how that operates, the rcvr technically never powers off because than it wouldnt be able to record while you were home. Also you can put recordings on to an external hardrive than transfer them to a different rcvr because as you know with any external device you would need to re-format it.
@ArmyofOne1987 Correct, it does not power all the way off, but in the video, you will see the yellow LED still is on - that means that one of the tuners is on and the hard drive is recoding. And yes for the 50th time I know about the external hard drive game and as I said, I am not replacing the receiver over a burn out LED.
It is in FACT a LED issue. The rcvr is working properly. The issue about the message tv2 is currently in use even though tv2 is not is a constant message that just comes up just to make you aware that when you do in fact do that it will disrupt the programming...:) Your rcvr is perfectly fine though...
as mentioned before, I don't want to replace a DVR that everything else it working, and has all my shows. Yes I know I can transfer them to an EHD and then move them onto the new reviver, but that's a lot of work and time all just because a blue LED burnt out. Maybe when the 922 comes out i'll take action then.
if you have a external hard drive (USB 2.0, external power, non flash)you can back recordings to it and use them again in youre replacement dvr. but you must call them to activate the archive feature(39.99). also it must be the exact same type of dvr
I played that game when I went from the (wrong) 622 they sent me to the 722 I was originally supposed to get. The transfer took forever, and I it messed up my hard drive. Unless I get a dedicated spare HD, I won't ever be doing that again.
its just the led.. you can call dish network, see if they could give you a replacement for cosmetics reasons. but definitely there is no problem with the receiver.

another thing id suggest is changing the addresses of the remote signals to avoid confusion against both remotes

If its in warranty, or you have DHPP (now called Service Plan as of 2/1/10) just get a free replacement.

Buy an external hard drive. Pay the 39.99 for usb activation. Transfer all your Star Trek shows and call for a replacement. Simple.

@sdschramm
It took forever because Dish was too cheap to use ESATA and instead decided to use slow USB 2.0 for their archiving.

Call, 18666883274, It should not be any problem to have them mail you a replacement dvr.
You seem to be pretty handy with the tec.
It will be easy for you to swap them out.
matt304671 2 years ago
And then I have to worry about moving all my recorded shows, timers, settings, etc.....Nah, I don't think so. Not because of a LED light.
sdschramm 2 years ago
Ueah it is kind of a pain,
I love my 722, it is a pretty neat gadget did you see the new grouping features for recordings?
