When you send itt back, KEEP THE TRACKING NUMBER... Seems they ALWAYS try to charge you for the equipment. I have been in contact with four other people whom they did that to. CW

Sent back the equipment per their instructions. (Yes I have the tracking number) Got a bill for $100 today with "Equipment Fee" on it.... You can not even cancel with these guys and be done huh? ARRRGH!

Oh yeah, I forgot... All Cable Companies are evil too! Dish is by far the least evil..... 8) I just really think they put the 522 out the door too early or chose very poor assembly plants and/or poor parts quality... Something went bad wrong.... End of rant and good luck to you all...

Man, I just dont get you guys..? Dish is working hard at making you lifetime customers? By putting out a product that was broken from the start? Still not working and those who used the local retailers to sign up are forced to stay subs or pay fines.. The 522 has been nothing but a massive...

It is gone... Thanks for looking...

I had purchased an additional remote for my 522. Do not need it now. Barely used if anyone wants it. 6.0 IR/UHF Pro remote, just like the #2 that comes with the 522. $9 + priority mail shipping. FIFO. semert@[nospam]frontiernet.net later...

As promised... My 522's ID: RAEGAP08977D & R0061991717 If Dish sends you this DVR, stamp it Return to Sender. I am outta here. Perhaps in a while Dish will get their act together. Good luck all!

Done, My Dish sub is canceled and the box to ship this piece-o-crap 522 back to the Hell it came from is on its way. The Replay's are awesome. I can even download movies from IRC or Bitorrent and stream them from my computer directly to the boxes using DVArchive. I can download shows from...

Got the replays going. So far so good. They are fast. As fast as the 522. Faster than my series 1 Tivo... :) :)

For us, no show is worth watching. Unless watching live, with no other recordings. It really pisses me off... V1.69 of the software was fine. All I had to do then was reboot once per week. Everything since it has been a nightmare.

A hit in picture quality???? Have you not read any of my posts? My picture "Quality" is so bad that I am dumping Dish... What good is a picture that glitches, drops out, clicks, pops... yada yada yada..... Aside from that, Dish's picture quality sucks anyways when it did work. No...

The 5000 series looks awesome. I will be connecting both boxes to my home network. Together they will work out scheduling conflicts automatically, so it will work like the 522 or Tivo, and it has all the features for first runs, seasons pass, following a changed time slot and such. Also, I...

Yeah, but apparently if you sign up via local installer, they stick you with some crappy contract that will not let you cut the strings with Dish without a huge charge. Although I do not understand the difference, sounds like highway robbery to me... By the way, do you get off gloating and...

I am sick of this crap... I have ordered two ReplayTV boxes. I will cancel my Dish account and gladly send back my POS 522. I will even post the Serial Number here before I ship it. That way, if Maximum gets it, he will know to just send it back... ;) I WILL NOT subscribe to DirecTV...

I have canceled said diagnostic and it did not do this to me...
