    522...is anybody happy with theirs?

    I have had the 522 and 322 since 8/22 and love them both. I have had hardly any problems at all and record daily.

    Very happy with my 522!

    I got mine on 8/25 and agree with you haggar67. I record daily and have had hardly any problems at all. I also went to direct for a very short time before that (after being with dish since 98) and did not like direct at all.

    I want the 522 but worried...

    This is exactly right, people are less likely to search out a forum to share if something works properly. I had directivo before the 522 and I like the 522 much better. I have had mine since 8/25 and have had no problems with hiccups and glitches others have had. I had video sync problems ONE...

    Cancelling my DVR 522? Contract?

    Exactly. I signed up through dish and have no contract at all. They try to tell you that it's better to sign u plocally, but it's not.

    Compare DirectTivo and Dish 522 Dvr

    I have had both and prefer the 522. First off I have had mine since 8/25 and have not had the problems others have had. I had voice sync problems one day and that's about all. For some reason everything I started that day was off, but just that day. I had the directivo and never did like it...

    I like my 522

    I just thought I would update this thread since I have had the 522 for exactly 4 weeks now. I did notice something one day probably about a week and a half ago the sync was off on my recordings when I would start them. I would then have to stop and restart and they would be good. This...

    Favorite Soft Drink

    I drink mostly Iced tea, If I drink soda though it's usually Coke. I like sprite also sometimes. To me pepsi tastes like an open coke that was left out overnight.:)

    Dish Network Reactivation

    Now for the topic. I cut my dish service a few months ago and switched to Direct tv. I switched back to dish a week ago and they right away offered me the 522 with 322, 49.99 down that was applied to my first bill (just got it), no connection fee, no contract, 5.00 for dvr which is what I was...

    Dish Network Reactivation

    What branch of the military did you serve in? I am a Vietnam era veteran with 11 years active duty I take offence at insinuations that someone that did a tour in the National Guard did anything wrong. I go to a lot of veterans forums and by far most veterans feel the same. Now Clinton...

    I like my 522

    My 522 with L2.04GALD-N

    I wonder why mine's not doing it. I can pause or rewind mine and it does not skip at all. No audio dropouts, no problem rewinding. Mine is newer than most, so I wonder if they are doing something different mechanically also.

    caller id dvr 522

    I would thing that anyone that does not care for caller ID could just disable it. I personally like it.
