Had Dish's VID 622 DVR fo 2 weeks now and wondering if I will have to live with all the noise it makes even when it's off!? My room is very quiet and I want it to stay that way. Any one out there got a sulution short of moving receiver to new room??
Follow Ups:
Is it fan noise or hard drive noise?
If it's a fan, maybe you can fit a higher-quality fan, or a bigger but slower fan. Or maybe slow the existing fan down; stick 3 or 4 1N4005's in series with the power lead and you should see a big reduction in noise. If the fan blows through slots or perforations in the case, cutting them out and installing a simple wire grille will be quieter.
If it's the hard drive... it might be possible to clone the drive over to a different and quieter model. Check some PVR forums for advice on that kind of thing.
The only way I know it's on is from the lights in front. Maybe you have a defective unit or it sits on a shelf that acts as a sound board.

Actually is on hi-fi rack and sitting on some"vibrapods" in hope of quieting it..Generates alot of heat so not comfortable placing box around it to isolate noise.. It's in room with the TV getting the hi-def signal and wondering if I put it in family room which is getting the "non hi-def" signal then try to run the hi def back up here using coax if the picture will be degraded?
It was recording a program. In this case I could hear it up to about two feet away, beyond which I couldn't. I'll check again when I have a moment and it isn't recording, if it ever isn't recording. I do know that my previous Toshiba DVR would degrade the sound electronically (RFI?) of my TT when it was on, even it wasn't recording, but I haven't been able to do the same test on my Dish DVR yet. My Dish DVR sits in a Salamander cabinet with a mesh screen front door and no back. I'm sure the cabinet shields a fair amount of the sound, such as it is, and the unit just get mildly warm, not hot. FWIW, the performance can be stunning, and I can't detect any significant difference in picture or sound quality between HD programs I record and those I watch in real time. I wish I had a much bigger disc, as I'm starting to accumulate a number of movies that are not available in HD anywhere else.
