My home Dish Receiver w/ DVR full, can I play in MH?

Yes you can. And, we have the Hopper with an external hard drive connected. We have a second hopper in the RV and we just move the hard drive back and forth from the house to the RV.

I do it all the time with my VIP 722.

I subscribe to the Dish Network and pay the monthly fee for the DVR service. My receiver is almost completely full of TV recordings.
Can I disconnect my receiver, put it my MH, hook it up to the MH TV and play these recordings when we are camping?
I do NOT have a Dish Antenna on my MH.
Thanks

YES!

No signal no problem with my Hopper. I just push the DVR button and there's all the recordings.

I have recordings on my Dish VIP 612 DVR and I can watch the recordings when the antenna is completely disconnected. That is one feature we use for overnight stops when I don't hone in on a Satellite.

I would say a definite maybe.

Best thing would be to try that at home - just pull the antenna feed. Be sure to watch it for about 10 minutes. DTV had an issue a while back where the receiver would reboot every 4 minutes sans antenna.

It might be possible but I doubt it.

I have a VIP722 and when it loses signal due to heavy rain or snow all functions cease to work and a lost signal splash screen pops up and tells you to power down and recycle power to acquire a signal..

When you do that you get only the attempts to acquire signal screen until the storm has passed..

If it is possible it may take some hidden key sequence.. I would be curious to know if it is possible (stinks to lose signal and all your recordings on this thing are nothing more than a doorstop).

Like mentioned, you could try it at home by powering down, remove the sat antenna coax then try powering up and see what you get..

I would say a definite maybe.
