You are right You are right, sorry about the last couple of posts. I was in true weenie mode. Anyway, I switched to Direct so the issue doesn't really matter anymore. The 522's still have that audio noise issue and I couldn't take it anymore.

nice Someone's been reading the thesaurus again though scatology is, technically speaking, the study of excrement, not the excrement itself so you're Yale humor doesn't even make sense. You should spend more time reading what you are going to critisize instead. I was talking about a 522...

hmmm I am really glad to have some enlightened folks out there who know the facts but are full of crap. You're right about the misinformed (IE me). FYI, start the filter here. I am not informed at all, in fact, I am pretty new to this whole thing but I know this: I have a 522 and when I...

amen Same here! I cancled dish and made the switch. I got my DirectTV installed about a week ago and I don't know why everyone raves so much about dish. It isn't that DTV has better programming or is cheaper or has better sound... oh, wait... it does have better sound! At least there are...

yep, they know about it They know about it and have no eta for a fix. I have a 522 with the same issues. It has been going on since the update in november. I just switched to dtv since they still have no eta for a fix and are unwilling to do anything about it.

Major issues with 522 and 622 You are not the only one with this issue on a 522. Along with the popping noises and sound cutting out issues (which you can all see in the other threads), My 522 does this as well. It doesn't seem to matter what channel it is on either. Unlike the 622, I can...

not sure I am not sure how or if you can force an update. It sounds like you got bit by the bad software bug but, from what I am hearing, the symptoms are different on a 625 than they are on a 525. The funny thing is, if you call dish, they will offer to upgrade you to a new reciever if you...

Yes, I did send him an email I sent an email and was very surprised to get a response just a couple of days ago. They chalked the whole thing up to training issues with their reps, and apologized. Pretty cool that I got a response but there wasn't any help there either. I agree with you on...

dont bother with the 522 or dish for that matter I just switched to DTV (For reasons I have metioned all over this forum). The 522 cannot produce a true 16:9 aspect ratio so your HD will look stretched. I am also in the SLC area but I don't know much about HD availability since I am a tight...

Time to either be screwed or switch I have been posting this all over the place for the last couple of weeks. Dish is aware of the problem and has no ETA for a fix as of 12/28/2006. To make this short (and trust me, I could go on and on), DISH acknowledges the problem and is encouraging...

Dish is well aware of this problem I have been out in the forums spreading this around as much as possible so sorry if I come off as a complainer (though I suppose I am at this point). If you are having this issue with your 522 STOP TROUBLE-SHOOTING. It isn't your problem. I replaced all...

I couldn't agree more I have an old 522 and, guess what, I have the same audio issues since the 4.13 update. When I found out the Dish has no ETA for a fix and is unwilling to upgrade me to another reciever without a new 2 year contract, I switched to DTV. I have been back and forth for the...

Dish may not be your best bet I also have a 522 and cannot get 16:9 aspect ratio. I don't know anything about the 622 but I have read online that there are few differences between the two. With all of the software issues on the 522 recently, I have decided to switch to DTV since their...

Dish is well aware of this problem Dish replaced my reciever 3 times before they finally admitted that their engineers have no idea what is causing this problem & that there is (at least as of 12/28/2006) no ETA for a fix. They also refused to update my reciever without a $100 payment and new...

Same issues with other recievers I have a 522 with sound dropping issues as well (ever since the 'update). 3 recievers later, I was actually encouraged by a rep to cancel my service since I had the audacity to suggest that it was dishonest to be billed for un-useable service. I, of course...
