When Monte went to check the hard drive to see if it had recorded the program we had set up last night, he wasn’t able to access the hard drive at all.  Before calling Dish, he unplugged the unit and went through the entire acquiring signals and downloading program guide.

The outcome is that Dish is going to be sending us a second receiver to swap out.

So, in the meantime, he uninstalled the replacement receiver and reinstalled our original receiver.  When he tried installing the external hard drive he got an error code instructing him to call Dish---SHEESH!

When he called Dish, they had him unplug the external hard drive, reboot the receiver and then plug the hard drive back in.  WE had to go through another reboot and program guide download before the set-up was completed. 

The afternoon was spent lazing in and around the pool.  No other residents showed up so we had the pool all to ourselves.

I could get used to this.
