Re: can Media XP wake up Dish 322 ?

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

.. the Dish folks said the main reason for the sleep mode is to allow for the updates to come thru. 

Or could the main reason be that they don't want you to
use a 3rd-party DVR with their service?  I'm sure they'd
prefer that you purchase/rent a DVR from them.

Hi Bob... I called Dish and they couldn't figure out a way to stop the sleep mode.. which is new with the 322...so I am trying the "auto tune" timer feature on the Dish.. this wakes up the rec'r and will set it to a channel too (which isn't necessary as long as the auto tune comes on ahead of the computer's record command).. so its an extra step.. I'll find out today if it works.. the Dish folks said the main reason for the sleep mode is to allow for the updates to come thru.

Media Center can only change the channel.  It can not
turn on/off any STB.  So you need to leave the STB
on all the time.  Can that new sleep feature be disabled?
