    HELP!! I think my 522 is crashing!

    Mine started doing the same thing today. It's been going through its cycle for the past 14 hours. Dish is sending another 522 to us too.

    522 and Caller ID

    I also have dsl with filters installed. If I enable caller id, it picks up the phone and cuts all incoming calls off!

    522 Picture Quality

    Actually, I bought the first one on ebay only about 2 weeks ago, and Dish thought that the modem might be bad. This one has the same dialing out problems with my wireless remotes, but E* seems to think that it is calling in. The PQ of this new one is terrible a lot of the time though, and the...

    522 Picture Quality

    Received a replacement 522 from E*, and noticed that the picture quality is is much less than the one they want to replace. I'm planning on letting them know that I am sending the new one back. I think that the PQ differs from receiver to receiver. My "old" one had NO problems with picture...

    522 Dialing Problem with Wireless Jack

    Boy am I dumb! I was using the wrong keys to scroll. Anyway, it says the last connect was 11/15/04. That's when I activated this receiver. I know that it's not really getting through because I can't dial in to see my bill or add programming or anything else, but I guess I should just keep quiet!

    Recorded Events GONE!?!?!?

    :confused: I just turn off power using the remote. Does this turn off "BOTH" tuners? I've noticed that even after I do this, the Dish screensaver stays on and all I have to do is hit "select" to turn it back on. Am I only turning 1 tuner off? And if so, how do you turn both off? My program...

    522 Dialing Problem with Wireless Jack

    I'm not technically illiterate! Nothing listed after DST. Maybe I'm just lucky?!? :rolleyes: I'm at work, but I'll double check when I get home. I'm almost certain there were no more entries. Will update later when I actually check again.

    522 Dialing Problem with Wireless Jack

    There is no scroll. Wasn't one on the other receiver. Last line is DST:0x0. When I try to dial out from that screen, it tells me to dial outs pending. The other receiver said the same thing.

    522 Dialing Problem with Wireless Jack

    Still not working Well, switched to the 522 E* just sent me, and the same thing. Telephone diagnostics says it's connected, begins to dial out and tells me that connection failed. If I do it from customer service, it tells me Dish is having technical problems. When I talk to CSR, they tell...

    522 Dialing Problem with Wireless Jack

    Dish seemed to think it was a modem problem in the receiver. Just received new one, so will try that.

    522 Dialing Problem with Wireless Jack

    I have my 522 plugged into RCA Wireless Jack. The base unit is plugged into a DSL filter provided by Verizon. The menu tells me the phone is connected, but when I test it by dialing out, I am told that the phone connection failed. The telephone that is using this same wireless system has no...

    DVR won't dial out

    I have the same problem. I just got my 522 hooked up. I'm also using the RCA wireless. Diagnostics says the phone is connected. Dialing out fails. I have DSL. Verizon's DSL filter is connected to original jack with telephone line going to RCA base. My telephone that is connected to the RCA...

    522 activation dn says no

    I emailed ceo@dishnetwork about this. Someone from the executive office called me last week. I bought the 522 on ebay after I got the okay from the execs. They are sending someone out to get me hooked up and I have to call the person who gave me the okay to activate it. I was told that going...

    Old Question Revisited : 721 vs 522

    Well, I bought the 522 on Ebay for $174. Dish is coming out to install it for me and I'll be able to use it in another room as well. The 721 was about $100 more from some of the retailers, so I went with the 522. Hopefully the major bugs have been taken care of!

    Old Question Revisited : 721 vs 522

    Thanks for the welcome! I can get the 522 on Ebay (I told this to the guy at E*). He was hesitant, but told me I could go either way. . . buy a 721 from one of their retailers, or the 522 on Ebay. After receiving the receiver, I am supposed to call him directly so he will set up the...
