    Playing recorded shows sequentially OR combining shows

    522's sleep mode prevents timer rec on another device I tried the setup I described above and it didn't work. Apparently, since I left the 522 on for a long time, the screen saver kicked in, then it turned itself off (auto sleep?). So the dvd recorder recorded just the screen saver and...

    Digital Sound Connection

    Yes, it works on my unit. It uses a toslink (sp?) fiber optic cable.

    Playing recorded shows sequentially OR combining shows

    Until I find a way of making playlists on the 522, or merging videos, I have 2 compromise solutions: Solution 1: if the shows you want to record are going to be broadcast next to each other, then record them as one show instead of separate shows. Solution 2: record the live broadcast...

    Recording time doesn't add up?!?

    How to recover some space I noticed that if you re-sort the recorded programs, sometimes, it adds to the amount of time remaining. For example, prior to sorting, it might say 14 hrs 25 mins left, then after sorting it will say 15 hrs 1 min left. Extra notes: Re-sorting a second time...

    Transferring. Nothing fancy, just analog video. I don't need high quality images. The satellite image isn't very good to begin with, so the degradation in digital to analog to digital conversion isn't a big deal for me.

    New to Dish - Questions about 522

    The possible reason why not is that it's like the same part of the hard disk is being read by two different readers. But anyway, you're correct, I've tried this and both TVs can watch the same recorded show.

    New to Dish - Questions about 522

    Yes it's possible. Yes, I believe this can be done. You can simultaneously do the following: 1. Tuner 1 can record one show. 2. Tuner 2 can record another show. 3. TV 1 can watch a RECORDED show while Tuner 1 is recording a different show. But you can't watch a live show while Tuner 1 is...

    Playing recorded shows sequentially OR combining shows

    I'd like to know whether it's possible to select several recorded shows on the 522, and then have the 522 play those shows one after the other. Alternatively: is it possible to "merge" two or more shows into one recording? Background: I have a 522. I want to transfer the recordings to...
