So I called the Customer Support line. The rep. made me unplug my DVR for a minute, and then reboot. After doing this, the FF function worked just fine. The Skip still has an annoying audible silent second. I told the rep. that I had done the reboot several times over the weekend...

We are not alone.... Well, it seems like many of us are on the same boat. I thought my 522 was dying for the second time in two years. This upgrade and change came as an unpleasant surprise. While I welcome the episode number and original date on the guide, the problems caused by the fast...

Thank you, that's what I needed to understand.

I'm sure this question has been answered many times, but I'm still a bit confused. I have a Dish Pro Twin with a Dish 500 and a 522 dual tuner DVR. As far as I can tell, I have no separate switch. Also, I have two cables running from the dish into my home distribution box. I want to add...

Actually, ESPN Deportes does not show much soccer. They tend to show basketball, american football, baseball, racing, etc, but in Spanish. (I have the channel). The real soccer channels are Fox Soccer Channel, Gol TV, Fox Sports World Espanol (mostly different soccer programming that fox...

I was reading another post and it concerned me. How can I tell if my Dish is properly grounded? When the installer installed it, I don't remember any grounding discussion. Thanks in advance.

I've had Dish and a 522 (dual tuner DVR) for 13 months now. I love the functionality, but I have had some trouble with the unit. Some minor trouble, such as audio drop outs and little video pixelation. Those seem to be more a function of the software release. At version 2.55 now, they are...

I had the same problem with the System Info screen showing up, started sometime around version 2.51 or later, not 100% sure. Two things have since happened and I don't have the problem anymore: 1) I had Dish replace the 522 because the timers were not firing or were firing but no recording...

I've noticed the same. My 522 now runs the fan more often.

I've had a 522 for a year. I started my Dish service with it. I've had to replace it once recently. The biggest problems I've had are: - the hard drive clicking - show timers were missed or did not record even though they fired. - on some recorded shows, there were problems with audio...

Mine did that many times on recorded shows. The hard drive would start clicking, too. I finally got tired of it and returned it to Dish, got a replacement. So far, so good. Both had version 253, but the one I replaced I had for almost a year and this problem started occuring a few software...

Actually, my DVR is still "in warranty", if there is such a thing for leased receivers. It is less than a year old. and I don't have the AT60 package, I have a much more expensive one. I still don't agree, and I don't see why I should care if it is cable or satellite, it makes no difference...

Are you kidding? I have a leased 522 under DHA, and I've had this setup for less than a year. If Dish Network needs to replace their receiver because it doesn't work properly, you have to pay $15 for shipping and handling. Or you can sign up for a "protection program" for $6 a month and...

I have this and a related problem, and it seems to have started with software version 251 although it is still a problem with 253. It has made me miss 4 recordings this week, and I'm upset with this DVR. Dish is replacing it but I don't know that a new 522 will change anything that is caused...

Hi Dish Dude, I don't have a spare home distrib. cable going to the DVR. Both cables were used by my installer, one to feed the receiver from the satellite, the other to send the TV2 out signal back into the distribution system to go to the bedroom upstairs. (hence my wanting to use...
