    522 ?

    Well, Single Mode is a different thing entirely. If he/she has other people in the home that watch TV1 at the same time that TV2 is in use, they're going to have problems with Single Mode. In that case, just enable "Record Plus." Go to Menu - 8 - 6, select "Enable" and set your record...

    Reasons why you should NOT get a 522.

    Well, it appears they've basically fixed none of the bugs in the much-anticipated L204 "update." And, as usual, have managed to introduce a few new ones. They might not be good at fixing bugs, but at least they're consistent. :rolleyes: During limited use of the 522 in just the past day and a...

    If you go to Menu - 6 - 3 - Connection, is it able to see the phone connection?

    And a way we go!! L2.04

    Yeah, I hate when that happens. No need to blame your kid; it's Dish's (and the 522 development team's) fault. There isn't anything you can do to stop it either. Sometimes it just feels like deleting everything. Oh well. :rolleyes: Oh, and I almost forgot to tell you, all of your timers have...

    522/322 Installation

    I'd wait for Simon or one of the other members who are more knowledgeable about installs, but I think you could run into problems with runs that long. Perhaps you'll need something in there to amp the signal, so I would hold off on running cables if I were you. Yeah, if you want wall plates...

    I'm 95% convinced that this 522 will never materialize...

    Well, DirecTivo costs $5 a month for ALL of your Tivo units. You could have a DirecTivo on every TV of your install and still only pay a total of $5 a month. Now, with Dish's DVR program you pay $5 a month for EACH DVR unit. So if you have a 510 upstairs and a 522 downstairs, you end up paying...

    Months? :shocked I feel really lucky if I make it through a 24-hour period without a reboot. Oh, you must be a cranky perfectionist, too. ;)

    New Problem with 522

    Yeah, this is real common (and has been for quite a while). I've experienced it on three different boxes and posted pictures of it happening, here. I always just described it as "the color fading in and out and leaving a black and white picture," but now that I think about it, you're absolutely...

    Latest 522 Issues??

    Well, I'm certainly tired of posting about issues with the 522. Also, there's not much more people can say. Since all the bugs are already "out there" on this board, there's a finite amount of new complaining left to go around. If you want to know if things have improved, I would have to say not...

    viewing guide days in advance?

    The 30 second skip forward button takes you ahead 24 hours. The 10 second skip back button takes you back 24 hours. It's a little easier than entering the numbers manually.

    2.03: what's in it??

    Simon, you couldn't be a simpleton if you tried. :) You're going to teach me about writing? LOL. I used to write for a living. My editors never complained, and neither did my readers. Your assertions are wrong on so many levels that it's hard for me to even know where to begin. First of...

    2.03: what's in it??

    Oh, I'm SO sorry that my post made all of you ADD children waste precious brain cycles. My posts usually run long for two reasons; I love to talk/write, and I have something to say. If you folks are having trouble reading a WHOLE paragraph, perhaps you would be better suited to give up message...

    Reasons why you should NOT get a 522.

    hall, I can't say I've ever experienced this particular bug, but typerk reported the same exact problem HERE. So it's definitely not just you. I'd say call and complain. It doesn't look like something that's being widely reported so I doubt they're even working to fix it. Maybe you could be the...
