    522 Software L4.11 Issues?

    I'm having the same problem but have found a bit of a work around. Normally I hit the Skip Fwd button fairly quickly to skip ahead, but now I hit Skip Fwd and wait till the arrow on the screen goes away before hitting Skip Fwd again. I haven't had the problems when doing this. Every once in a...

    Free HBO for existing customers?

    A little trick you might try if you use Favorites Lists, add one channel of each HBO, Showtime, Cinemax and TMC to the list and then you will notice when the red or green goes away but won't have to wade through all the channels when it's not. Mike

    522 Stupid "slow motion" feature...

    You can do this by hitting the "Skip Fwd" button after hitting pause, repeatedly hitting the "Skip Fwd" button will advance one frame or "Skip back" to go back one frame at a time. Mike H

    Friday install, have 1 question......

    Actually you can do this. You must be at the receiver. Switch to single mode, hit swap once on one of the remotes and then switch back to dual mode. Now it is on the other tv. I haven't done this yet on L2.36 but it should still work. Mike H

    522 wont work without the 9-Day EEPG on 110-TP29

    A couple 522 questions....

    After reading my previous post I need to rephrase a little. With a 522 you are never watching a "live" feed, you are always watching a recording at least about 4 seconds old. So each of the 2 tuners can record 1 thing and each of the 2 outputs can watch 1 recording (a saved one or its tuners...

    A couple 522 questions....

    In Single Mode if you are watching the tuner doing the recording you just hit swap and you will be on the other tuner and watch what ever you want, any live channel, any previous recording or the current recording from any point in it. In Dual Mode if you are watching the tuner doing the...

    DVR 522 - Changing timed record tuner selection on the fly

    If the recording has already started you can switch to single mode, press swap on the remote and then switch back to dual mode and the recording will be on the other tv. I don't know if this works for a future timer or not. Mike

    TV 2 Output?

    If you reformat the drive then there is nothing on the hard drive to accept a software download. It can only update its existing software, not start from scratch. Mike

    522 ?

    syphix is right. If you try to record from the tuner that is setup as the record plus tuner it won't go to the other tuner if there is a conflict.

    Help: Should I or Shouldn't I???

    >> 1) Pause a live show for up to 30 minutes while you take care of something. Yes. It even keeps the last hour since a channel change in cache automatically in case you forget to pause. >> 2) Record two shows simultaneously (or watch one live and record a 2nd). Yes. Record two shows...
