How do you think this works? :) http://www.dishpod.com/

I have to ask this anyway: you don't have it setting on carpet, do you? The fan is on the bottom blowing up...

With the video-on-demand (hit 'dvr', moves and more...), you can't record those. However, with the 500-channels (dish channels 500 through 538), typically when you order, it sets up a record for it automatically. You can keep it on your box as long as you want. I don't know how it...

They may not take kindly to being unplugged...or power outages for that matter. Just a theory, it having a hard drive and all. EDIT: Not that I think it IS the problem, but some people may not think anything of having their boxes on a power-strip, shutting it off all at once.

Some glue and a trip to the watch store.... :)

Well...satellites are like 22,000 miles up... so I would think that anything hitting a satellite would suffer from the 2 second delay.

It's HEAVILY based around the 522/625/322 platforms.

You did try changing the batteries...right? :)

Who do you guys have for a phone provider?

I do hear of the problems, I've even got one messed up episode of "the nanny" with audio/video drops, taped. However, of the 3-4 hours a day I watch TV x 4 months... one messed up show isn't bad. It floors me on this board, because sometimes people act like ALL they get is problems. If...

Ahhhh.... that could be an issue. The fan is located on the underside of the 522. you're probably blowing heat from the 811 into it. Whoops.

So, when you look in the schedule, does it show it as going to be recorded, or do you see the line (in 'show skipped timers') through the title?
