Take a look at this document: http://www.dishnetwork.com/downloads/pdf/technology/remote/5_6_8_Remote_Control.pdf I believe that particular info starts on pg 6. I had to do it on my 522 a couple days ago and it worked fine.

Actually, a 522. It's funny, I don't recall this being a problem during previous time changes. I've had the machine for well over a year now. As a couple others have stated, my weekly/regular timers were also messed up. Thanks for the replies. I guess I'll try to get it to download the...

Just not my weekend with this machine. I see most or all of my timers are an hour late, presumably due to the time change. I just missed West Wing, argh! Is there an easy fix, or do I have to delete them all and reset them?

For what it's worth I finally figured out the problem. As many of you may know (but I did not), if you hold down the "sat" key on the remote for a few seconds the remote goes into a mode where you can program in an address that must be matched on the 522 system info screen for the tv2 remote to...

My problem is it simply will not work at all. I can be standing right in front of the 522 box and pointing the tv2 remote right at it and it still won't work.

I've read a couple different threads about problems with the tv2 remote but none that quite fit the issue I am having. I've had this machine for over a year now with no problems with the tv2 remote. It stopped working last night (or recently, in any case... it had been a few days since I...

A poster on a sports forum I frequent posted that a relative who is an insider told him that espnu should be available this weekend.

Yes, it did use to ignore the padding automatically and record both shows on the same tuner. I think maybe you had to be in dual mode for it to work that way. I find this mildly annoying also.

A crude solution might be to leave them all without the extra padding and set a timer to record the show after Cold Case on Sundays.

You know, I think there are still very ocassional video glitches, but they aren't accompanied by that incredibly annoying popping/beeping sound when they happen so they are much less noticeable. That said, there does seem to be fewer audio and video glitches than ever with this update, and...

I just added multi-sport to my account and as I was browsing the new channels noticed that the 522 apparently now downloads new guide data as soon as you move across a "no information available" space in the guide. If it does work like that all the time, that's another nice little feature...

If a scheduled recording is categorized as a sport event in the description, it automatically sets the "end late" option to 60 minutes. I like this because there is always the danger that a game will run long, particularly if you're watching espn or something and they're showing a bunch of...

I see it automatically pads the end of sporting events when you record them. Very nice. A feature that my old ultimate tv had that I have missed.

Got mine this morning, version 232 here also. Here's a minor quibble that I don't see scanning the thread. When recording back to back programs in dual mode, it won't record them on the same tuner because of the 3 minute overlap (I presume). It's a minor thing, but I never had this problem...

This wasn't quite the problem I experienced. The Start Over button was active, but hitting it did nothing - it simply put you into the program in progress, and interestingly enough you couldn't rewind it either. I experienced this a couple times on the first day I had 2.08, but haven't since...
