    TV 2 on my 522 posessed

    No I'm not sure why it won't up arrow. Mine will. But it really doesn't matter. Just get to the Sys info screen and follow the rest of the instructions using your TV2 remote. On the last step when you hit the record button it will change the address for the secondary controller whether it's...

    TV 2 on my 522 posessed

    Yeah you need to change that remotes address. Same thing happened to me when a neighbor got Dish. Get to the System Info screen. MENU-6-1-3 Use the up-arrow and highlight the white address # for Secondary. It will turn yellow. Press SAT and hold for 3-4 seconds. Key in a number from...

    Not whining. Just expressing my opinion. There is a difference. And I don't want to donate. I'm waaaay too cheap for that. :D

    More growth for 2005!

    I gotta agree those links are annoying. Just noticed them tonight and thought WTF is this? I'm all for this forum making a few bucks-either just to make even or to turn a profit. I realize there are costs (time and money) involved and realize that this might be a good source of revenue. But...

    Need Help

    My neighbor across the street and two houses up got dish a couple of weeks ago and his remote was changing my channels. Not sure of the exact distance but the street-two house widths- and going through at least two brick walls-the range is pretty impressive. :D

    L193 for the 322 ?

    I was up early this morning when my 322 receiver did it's nightly update- when it came back up it said it was downloading important information and to leave it alone (I'm paraphrasing here ) so I let it do it's thing- Well it went on for about an hour and a half-it would get to different...

    522 vs 721 question

    Well I don't have a 721 but do have 522. But I might have an answer for you.. The 522 can be hooked up like you describe and you can use the TV's PIP to swap out between the TV1 and TV2 feeds. But the 522 has 2 separate modes-single and dual mode. In the scenario you described it is in dual...

    CH 21-69 Out (TV2) tip

    I agree but when mine was installed about six weeks ago the installer didn't know either.He didn't know a lot of things. It would seem if an installer just spent a couple of hours on this forum they would learn a lot that would help them and thier customers. Such a shame :p

    Dial out error

    Just a couple of things to add to Tophs post If the connection fails you may want to make sure the phone line hasn't come loose or unplugged.Unplug it and plug it back in at the receiver and the wall jack. If it still fails the connection test and you are using a phone splitter try connecting...

    I want the 522 but worried...

    Well here's my personal experience-after about six weeks now I've had no major problems with my 522. I've had the audio out of sync problem a few times but just stopping the playback and restarting fixed for me. Every once in a while the picture pixellates for a second then fixes itself..so far...
