What is the send time from a USB
2.0-capable DISH Network receiver
to my PocketDISH?
An hour of content will send in about
5 minutes.
Can I record content from a DISH
Network receiver that doesn’t
have a compatible USB connection?
Yes, using the composite input
connections on the AV500E and
AV700E. Record time is real time
(e.g. a half-hour show will take a
half-hour to record).
Can I send DISH Network HDTV
content to my PocketDISH?
No, only standard definition content
can be sent.
Can I send DISH On Demand content
to my PocketDISH?
No.
In what format is video content
stored?
Content sent from the USB 2.0 port
of a DISH Network DVR is MPEG-2.
Content recorded from the A/V
inputs is encoded by the PocketDISH
and stored as MPEG-4. Other video
content from a PC is stored in its
native format (e.g. MPEG-4 AVI).
What happens when my PocketDISH
hard drive is full?
If you try to send content from your
DISH Network receiver and there is
not enough space available on the
PocketDISH, you’ll receive a pop-up
message. You’ll have to delete
programs before you can send any
more.
Can I take content from one DISH
Network DVR, put in on my
PocketDISH, then transfer that
content to my friend’s DISH
Network DVR?
No, the content can only be sent
from a DISH Network DVR to the
PocketDISH. The content cannot be
transferred back to your DVR or to
another DISH Network DVR.
Can I take content from my DISH
Network DVR, put in on my
PocketDISH, then transfer it to and
play it back on a computer?
•You can transfer content from a
PocketDISH to store on your
computer, but you may not play
it back on your computer, or
anywhere but the originating
PocketDISH.
•You can transfer the content
from your computer back to your
PocketDISH for viewing and
playback.
I have parental control locks on my
DVR recorded content. Will I have
to enter my password to send a
locked program to my PocketDISH?
Yes, you’ll need to enter your
password before you can send
content.
On the PocketDISH you will need to
set up locks and a password – the
locks from your DVR content do not
transfer over.
Does PocketDISH support Closed
Captioning?
No.
Can I use my dual-tuner receiver
in either Single Mode or Dual
Mode to send content to my
PocketDISH?
Yes, but only from TV1 - the
Multimedia menu option is grayed-
out in Dual Mode on TV2.
Can I send photos stored on my
receiver’s hard drive to my
PocketDISH?
No.
DISH Network receivers get their
software upgraded via satellite.
Can the PocketDISH also be
upgraded?
Yes. When upgrades are available
PocketDISH can be updated when
connected to the DISH Network
receiver, or from the Archos
website, www.archos.com.
When I connect my PocketDISH to
my television to watch my DISH
Network recordings, will the
quality be similar to watching it
from my DVR?
Yes.
Why are there two USB ports?
The USB Mini Type B port is used to
connect the PocketDISH to a DISH
Network receiver or a PC; the USB
Mini Type A port and the supplied
adapter cable are used to connect
the PocketDISH to a USB mass
storage device, such as a USB
camera, card reader or flash drive.
