Thanks Simple Simon, I'll check it out. I know my brother that lives in Texas says he has no such problems.

Your first question - does the signal go out -- YES!! Doesn't even have to be a very bad storm. Signal strength is 94+ during the day(drops to the 50's at night) and even very light rain makes the signal go out. If this signal drop isn't normal - please someone advise. We had some...

The only times I've had pixelization on my big screen RPTV was due to signal strength issues. If you have a good signal, you should not get pixelization on your big screen regardless of whether you're using a 322, 522 or 811 etc.

I realize it's extra to add more than 4 tuners. An additional switch was $79 which the installer would gladly install and I would gladly pay to have installed. The guy at the DISH admin office even admitted they have customers with 8 tuners. But Dish refuses to let me get a 322 instead of...

That's what I don't completely understand. Why you would compromise not having tuners at every TV? I know you may not be able to/need to watch all at once, but it's more of a conveniene than anything. Functionally, the signal strength of the dish is the same as my dig cable from the pole...

Yup that's what Dish just confirmed. They will not support a non-lease 322. They are completely inflexible and unaccomodating to a customer who just wants 5 TV's hooked via its own tuner instead of 4. I'd have to pay $399 for a 811 box, or totally scrap my HDTV and get a lowly 301 for $99...

Thanks for the quick and detailed reply!! You know your stuff for sure. Yep the #1 remote is a 5.0 IR so its not UHF PRO compatible. Makes it more funny that the install guy spent so much time doing the above steps - over and over and over again. :p Looks like I'll be buying a 322...

Well, just got off the phone with DISH tech suppor and they said the #1 remote was only IR and I would have to buy another UHF-pro remote if the 522 was left in its current position. (Either that or go into my furnace room everytime I want to change the channel. lol) I was also going to buy...

Yes, that's what I thought. I see nowhere in the manual how to setup remote #1 as a UHF remote. And I haven't been able to find anywhere online either. :mad: This really peeves me if so, because not only did the installer lie to me but the owner of his company did as well. I mean just...

I'm new to Dish and have a question about the 522. I just got an 811 and a 522 installed. Due to previous wiring, they placed the 522 in my furnace room in the basement. Now, they assured me that both remotes for the 522 were UHF-pro remotes, but the manual says one remote is IR and one is...
