DVR Station with Dish Network: Is this needed to record from DISH VIP722 to Archos 605 wifi?

No. You'll want to just connect via the USB cable (make sure you've activated the Dish driver with your computer.)

That's interesting. I wonder why it's called a DVR. I actually had the same question as Dennis, thanks for your reply. OK. I just got off the phone with tech at Archos and both the home and travel DVR do record from TV, VCR and DVD player. The main difference is the Home DVR dock is not travel friendly because of size/weight and there is no "s" plug on the travel dock.

There is nothing built in the dvr that would do it but there may be something you can buy from another company to connect to the network port but I have not checked into it. I will say that the wired network port is very stable and we use several of these in an industrial setting and have never had trouble accessing the DVR over the network when we need it. You would need to see if there is some wireless adapter somebody sells that can convert the network port to wireless but I do not know if they exist as I have never looked.

The only thing I can help you with is a quote from my user's guide. " This user guide covers DISH player-DVR522 and DISH player DVR 625 and software models dp522 and dp625." I hope this helps

Hi, you will need to have a pc which is compatible with the dvr capture card to make it work. Irene

I'm going to answer no with an explanation: The cables (1 is video signal (male) the other is power (female) are of a pigtail style hanging from the back of the camera to which you connect a similar 60' cable back to the DVR. The only ethernet on the DVR is for LAN or internet access. Whether or not it can be re-configured for balun looks doubtful as the menus don't include that option. If not, you'll still need the included wires to split the junctioned ethernet on the monitor side. I've just been doing a little reading on baluning and most of the concerns are about distance (camera to DVR) advantages gained by the lower cost of ethernet cable over coax weighted against power degradation. If this is just for the house it is really simple to install. I only bought the four cameras. They are arrayed along the front of my house. Drilled four holes (at camera mount), ran four cables to DVR, finally one to the AV input on the flat screen HDTV. Just hit AV and their images show up on screen. I hope this comes close to answering your questions. The only other thing I can think of is that baluning is more a matter of the hardware used for converting not the capture device itself, according to my reading. There are not individual ethernet inputs for the cameras. Also, the power supply for the cameras is another pigtail wall outlet. If I can answer anything else please don't hesitate. Found this link re customer support: http://videocamerarecorderss.blogspot.com/2012/11/buying-night-owl-security-sta-84-night.html. The language on some of the reviews is pretty clunky but is allegedly supported by amazon participants prog. I hope I've helped

I just bought the 704 wifi and I'm having a heck of a time getting a straight answer from Archos as to whether the Gen 5 DVR station is completely compatible with my Gen 4 player/recorder.

Yep! Just plug it into one of the USB ports and you'll be able to select your wireless network. If you buy the sling adapter you'll be able to control and watch your DVR from anywhere in the world with the dish app. Very handy.

DVR is a service you pay for. I installed mine with DVR right away and they had to run two cables in from the dish so that DVR can run while you switch channels. I dont know the answer because I don know if your dish needs to be a certain type. You should call direct tv.dont expect to get more services than you pay for though, the box feeds back to them.

You can connect wirelessly from the Directv CCK-W kit to your existing wireless router. However, you do need a short Ethernet cable from the kit to the DVR Receiver. I think the previous answer from BB is right on. Actually the setup is pretty straight forward.

No problem. I upgraded my dish net receiver to one of the newer dvr receivers and keep the old original dish reciever which I put in my motorhome and I use the winegard GM 1518 for the motor home. Everything works great and is easy to use. You will have to pay net about $7 a month to use the 2nd reciever in the motorhome. When you move about in the motorhome to different geographic locations you will need to call DISH NETWORK and advise them of your new location (address and zip code) to get local stations there--this is a free service and takes just of few minutes.

Yes. I am using it right now with Verizon FIOS. I think you need to see if your DVR has firmware 1.9 or later (it should by now). When you plug it in for the first time, your DVR will ask you to format it (it takes a minute or two). I have a QIP 7216 FIOS DVR.

Has anyone actually downloaded from the Dish Network? I have the 705 and installed the plugin. When I plugged the usb cable into my vip622 receiver, it did not acknowledge that there was a connection. By the way, if you are going to attempt to download from your receiver, you are going to need an usb a to usb a cable. Can anyone help since there are no instruction provided with the download?

Not unless the DVR is wifi capable. So it must be wired direct to a router.

USB is too slow for DVR use. You need a faster eSata cable. If they didn't put one in the box you can buy one on Amazon cheaply. Make sure your dish has an eSata port. Should be am eSata port on the drive. Note! You may lose all your shows on your Dish console. Google about this or read you Dish manual. On my DirectTV, the drive inside is ignored in favor of the external. Good luck.

I bought the DISH Network USB Digital OTA Tuner For Hopper back in July... with it, I can get all the local OTA broadcast... You can only record one OTA broadcast at a time... so, you can record the two or three channels that the DishNetwork receiver will let you and then you can record one OTA broadcast at the same time... and in HD if the OTA broadcast is in HD. Don't think it will work without the Dish service.
