I wish you could scroll a single channel vertically. The old Dishplayer allowed you to do a search by station id and then you could scroll down the listing vertically. Very nice and much quicker. I miss that.

1. When in limited mode, the remote will automatically change back to SAT mode after a selected time if the customer presses the TV mode button. - This should apply after a change to ANY mode other than SAT. DO NOT LIMIT it to TV. Probably the most foolproof of the options. Defaulting...

Does anyone know if Dish has begun to implement this yet?

Actually if my memory serves me, Claude G (aka metro) posted an Apr 1 thread about something like this on DBSDish.com (I think it was that site) YEARS ago. Never was actually sure whether it was an April Fools joke or not. I believe at that time he called it the 921 (his rumor in that same...

You also hamper the ability of NBR to do its job.

Has this (all of these?) problem been phoned into Dish Tech reps? It is good to find advice/work arounds here, but in the end they will never be addressed if we do not let Dish know of the problems we see.

My 510 was just taken off my account.

You cannot turn it off. That bouncing Dish logo ALWAYS kicks in as soon as you turn it "off". The manual sez the purpose of the bouncing logo is a visual reminder so that you always know when the TV is connected to and tuned to the correct channel for the 522 (would be important for TV2).

I found with my 510 that If something went wrong with the EPG (corrupted and dumped) and shows only no info for all times and all channels, then none of the timers will show up on the timer listing even though they are there (on teh HD). Once the guide data is refreshed timer are visible again...

Well, I jumped in and my 522 was installed this afternoon. So far I like what I have played with. Let's give it a week and see how it performs.

As Gary has said. The key is that you are NOT going back to Dish when you go to this new box/set up, you are becoming an SBC video customer. SBC deal with Dish prohibits them from poaching current customers but, after 180 days off the Dish subscriber roles, it is not considered a poach.

That is certainly not normal. It shouldn't validate the HD that frequently and certainly not on its own. That occurs after a reboot, not a power down/standby. The unit is self healing in that if it detects corruption in the code it automatically downloads the entire software load, thus wiping...

Just called the "special" Club Dish hot line and the rep said teh same thing. Lease fee replaces the extra receiver fee. But she did say that the $49 was a delivery fee and that there was also a $50 install fee. Both are must pays. So it is $99 to get it, but like you guys said if replacing a...
