My RCA has a 1 yr warranty, 90 days on parts and labor then 91-1yr has only parts and you have to send to them and pay $75 for labor just for them to look at it. IT SUCKS!!!

With my experience RCA is crap!!! My RCA Tivo unit has been acting up on me, the hard drive is going bad. All my friends that have purchased an RCA unit have had problems with thier hard drives also. They only have a 90 warranty for parts and labor then up to 1 yr parts warranty but you HAVE to...

Whew!!! everything worked great!!! **Just an FYI** I ended up having to do a check switch 2 times, cause i got an error on the first one, but after that all my local guides showed up!!! YIPPEE!!!! Also I switched to single mode and went thru and rescheduled all the timers I had originally...

Thanks a bunch, I will try this tonight. I bet you will be hearing from me tomorrow! LOL

I have 2 tv's, tv1 in living room with the 522, and tv2 in bedroom. I live alone so whatever will work is fine with me! I obviously watch most on tv1 during day and at night tv2. So how should i set this up step by step, I dont want to miss another damn program i was supposedly recording. The...

So do I need to call dish for this procedure? Im not sure if I understand what you mean to do myself?

Ill try shutting down tonight. I was wondering about the pip thing, i couldnt get it to work last night and there is nothing in the manual about it either. So i push the mode to single mode, and is there any other settings i need to change to fix my problem? I want to be able set a weekly timer...

I thought about doing that, so when you mean power off, just push power on 522 and leave it? or unplug? what do i need to do?

OK at least a reasonable answer. Why couldnt the damn dish network rep tell me this? Thank you!

Ok, just had the 522 installed yesterday morning and that went good. Had to go right to work after the installer left so I didnt have any time to mess with it at that time. Then came home and noticed i did not have my local channels, called dish and they turned them on. So no problem there, but...

ok thanks for all your help! I bet ill be back with questions later in the week on how to use certain features.

ok then, what about if i buy a 4x4 post would they use that? and would they install it? and how long should it be? obviously it needs to be treated. I figure they have to dig a hole and trenches anyways right?

Ok one more thing, what kind of pole is this? Is it a 4x4 post? A metal pole? and if that how thick is it? and how tall will it be? Also how about that recent release of the update? should the installer do that or will i have too?

Great!!! Im so glad you have been here for me shadowEKU. So the installer would have the supplies with him to do a pole mount then correct? While im thinking about it, I know with d* the dish has to face the southern skys, do you know what direction the dish network needs to face? Also I see...

Ok then, I think im just getting the dish 500, and the 522 is the only thing else. But also while im thinking of it, what about if I want to have him install the dish on a pole mount? Is that "standard"? I really dont want to have another dish on my roof, its an older house and the roof isnt...
