I have had this issue with my local OTA CBS affiliate in the Indy area occasionally for about 2 years now. Seems to be with CSI more than anything else, but that's probably what I watch most on CBS (especially with all the different versions of CSI now). This probably happens once every couple...

And of course neither button will actually turn off the hard drive -- it just continues to spin and spin and generate all that noise and heat, no matter what you try to do. I was hoping that this new "standby" feature would actually spin down the hard drive, but nooooo. I keep my 522 in my...

I too am interested in the "real" Denon code(s). I have a Denon AVR-1801 (or is it -1802??? I can't recall). Anyway, I have the same experience -- Denon code in the book doesn't work and neither does code scan. I am currently using a Radio Shack Kameleon a/v remote, which works well with...

Yes, I had this exact same "wrap-around" problem happen to me last weekend. It has only happened to me that one time (so far). Of course, it happened while I was demo-ing my E* system to my brother-in-law D* customer :) Anyway, I exited the EPG and brought it back up again, and everything...

What? I thought this was the "Law and Order" channel :) It seems every time I surf by this channel they have an episode of this running. Gary

I watched the Saturday playoff games on my 811 (OTA) with no problems, and later watched an movie on my 811 on HBO HD (Sat) with no problems. Glad I have an 811 because my cable company still does not offer all locals in HD, and no OTA-capable HD box (and I refuse to buy a separate HD tuner for...

Not sure this is possible. You may want to try connecting via a/v cables to your TV's composite, s-video, or component inputs (if your TV has any of these). I have a multi-system TV which handles both types of signals (NTSC and PAL) I purchased while living overseas, so I don't know for sure...

I set up the 811 to be in 1080i mode all the time, so as far as my HDTV goes, it's getting an "HD" signal all the time, and I set the aspect ratio control on my TV to "normal" all the time, and use the 811 aspect ratio controls instead. When in HD, the 811 has the following modes: HD:Grey...

AFAIK (with my 1 week+ 522 experience), in Single mode, you can PIP, and you can also record one show while watching another. You can also record 2 shows and watch a third which you had previously recorded (tested this out briefly -- same functionality as my digital cable DVR that I just gave...

My 811 has the menu option to change ascending/descending, but so far I have not found this (seemingly obvious) option on my 522. It's a bit annoying when I move from one TV to another. Why in the world would this be the default anyway? I have never seen any other electronic (DirecTV...

I have the clock problem as well. My scenario is that I have finished watching an OTA channel, and then shut things off to go to bed. When I turn it on the next day, I notice in the program guide that the clock is slow by many minutes (typically around 6). As soon as I tune to a sat channel...

I just had Dish installed a week ago, with a 522, 311, and 811. The 311 and 522 seem to have better menus than the 811, as follows: 1) More channels listed on one screen 2) "Browse" function shows current and next show without scrolling 3) When any show is highlighted, the info show in the...

I just got a 522 last week. Browsed quickly through this forum and found nothing on this, so I'll post this question--sorry if I missed it somewhere else. The question is regarding the hard drive. My old DVR (Brighthouse digital cable, Scientific Atlanta box) spun down the hard drive if I...

I have my 522 connected with an old RCA wireless jack as well. The base also connects through a DSL filter. The connection test seems to work fine for me. I also verified my connection audibly with a telephone temporarily connected just to be sure before I installed it. Gary
