    522 Software L4.11 Issues?

    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...

    522 Software L4.11 Issues?

    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...

    Add another receiver to dual tuner setup

    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...

    Why isn't ESPN Deportes in the Top 180 package?

    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...

    How to tell if grounded?

    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.

    New customer worried about DVR reliability

    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...

    TV2 System Info Screen on 522

    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...

    DVR522 verses DVR625 noise

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

    Confused now. Should I get 522?

    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...

    my 522 froze today

    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...

    Paying S&H to replace leased DVR?

    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...

    Paying S&H to replace leased DVR?

    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...

    Couple of 522 problems

    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...

    522 Uhf pro antenna through home cable system

    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...

    522 Uhf pro antenna through home cable system

    Thanks for all of the responses. Dish Dude: can you give me more details on what you mean? I'm not sure I follow. Folks: can anyone provide any more details on getting the splitter setup to increase the remote range to work? My first attempt resulted in even poorer range. Thanks a...

    Thanks, Dave. Do any type of splitters work? Have you tried it, any tips? Thanks.

    522 Uhf pro antenna through home cable system

    Thanks for the response, Mark_AR. Over time, I've realized and tried most of those things you mentioned. I can get the remote to work upstairs, but it's a job of acrobatics, moving around the room and the arms until you get the right angle, while you click on the remote repeatedly until some...

    Does Dish DVR Allow Transfer to PC?

    You can record or watch live at most two programs at one time. However, you could record 2 live programs and play back two already recorded programs at the same time, so in a sense you have 4 programs.

    522 Uhf pro antenna through home cable system

    I've been struggling with the TV2 UHF Pro remote used upstairs, with the receiver downstairs. I have tried a number of things over a few months (different angles of the antenna on the 522, a 3 foot cable extension, building the bare copper wire antenna suggested by a different post, etc) and I...

    With all the complaints.. is any happy with their 522/625?

    In general, I'm pretty happy with my 522. Most of the time, it works as advertised. Currently, mine is running version 235. Now, there are a few bugs that are noticeable. The audio drop outs are a hassle, but they mainly occur on recorded programs. If the program guide fails to download...

    522 Comprehensive Bug List and Feature Wish List

    NBR bug Another bug that I've run into: Sometimes the daily schedule is not updated properly on NBR timers, causing you to miss shows that should be recorded. This has happened twice to me, and I've posted it here and found two other people with the same problem. Sometimes you can fix this...

    522 losing record events

    Thanks to both of you. Now I know that I'm not alone. This bug sucks. Last night I rebooted, and after the receiver came up it shut down and went into the hard disk check (which I've noticed on this forum happens to many folks). Nothing came out of that. I called Dish, they said to...

    522 losing record events

    Over the last two/three weeks, my 522 has lost twice the "record event" entry, even though all of the timers are still there. Last night, the events for this week were present. Today I checked, and all events starting today are gone! This is the second time it happens. The timers are...

    522 audio/video sync, pops, etc

    I've noticed fairly recently that when I play back recorded programs on the 522, the audio will skip after a few minutes and get out of sync with the video. This behavior continues throught the recording. Also, the video now gets "blocky" every once in a while. I checked the software version...
