Well, it does. And if you haven't become intimately familiar with your receiver after a year of usage, then you probably never will. Sorry.

Yeah, and also don't forget to go into the installation menu and turn off the caller ID (if you have caller ID in your home, of course). Dude, not to be harsh, but I'm frickin' amazed that a veteran 522 user would even ask this question. :rolleyes:

This is not new to software version 2.36. The search/diagnostics bug you experienced has been around for months. Either you've been lucky all this time or just never noticed it before. To the original poster, just don't turn off the tuners when you go to bed at night. When you wake up, hit...

No, it does NOT defragment. I have seen it wipe the drive several times on different 522s and the whole thing takes place in a matter of seconds. Defragmenting involves moving data around to put chunks of the same files back closer together. If you've ever defragmented a computer that had a hard...

I'm sorry but this channel is no longer available in America. Because of Al Manar's connection to Hezbollah, the American government labeled Al Manar as "part of a terrorist organization" and banned satellite companies here from airing anything produced by the network. It's really quite sad...

Yeah, but those other receivers you are talking about that are not DVR also have timers (record by VCR, auto tune, and reminder timers) and also have search string history, too. So if what you are trying to say is that the 522 doesn't lose the favorites, locks, and preferences because it keeps...

Saturk, a new receiver will not help you because this is a common problem on all 522s. The 522 sometimes thinks there's a "problem" on the drive and then for NO GOOD REASON completely erases your recorded programs and timers. This is something I have complained about a lot before and is...

George Orwell must be turning in his grave. :rolleyes:

Megan, I do manual reboot usually twice a day. Once a day might be good for you. If you want you could read my long message on the following page about how/why I like to reboot/update my 522 (522 losing recorded events). I've found it really helps to avoid some of the problems people complain...

No, you for sure were not dreaming. This happens all the time on the 522, too. The time fields get corrupted somehow and give crazy numbers in the "time left" area and on the progress bar like shows in your picture. It's been like that for a LONG time on the 522, so you should prepare yourself...

LMAO. Sorry Witschey, but don't hold your breath. That's the answer that E* throws out all the time for every problem their receivers have, but more often than not, it never gets fixed. You see, since the 522 came out to the public, people have been complaining about software problems...

LOL. KDRE, with the 522, it's kind of a 50/50 thing. When the 522 works as designed, it's great. When it's not working as designed, it sucks...BIGTIME. A positive story I could tell you relates to the Name Based Recording. Some weeks back, a program I Dish Pass on ABC named "Lost" had an...

While a reboot is the most likely reason this happened to her, I wouldn't make the leap just yet that it was the result of a power outage. Megan, I don't want to scare you, but since you are new to the 522, you should prepare yourself for some pretty strange behavior from it. Many people...

:haha Oh, NOW I understand. :eureka I don't have HD, just the regular channels, so I didn't even know where the HD channels were. I was just talking about the 9400 to 9418 regular channels. SimpleSimon, here is a raspberry for you for making a joke on me. :p
