Does anyone have any experience with archiving programs recorded on a 522 receiver? I've been looking at purchasing a DVD-recorder for this purpose, but wanted to first check this forum to see if there were alternative archive methods of pulling the MPEG-2 files from the 522 hard drive. Any...

Has anyone noticed this problem? I have several programs scheduled to record throughout the day. I've noticed that on 3 or 4 of the programs per day that recorded times are only a couple minutes in size...so in essence the recording failed. I don't understand why it would start the record...

You may have read my previous thread in regards to program scheduled for recording not showing up in the "recorded programs" list. This has even been the case when the red light on the front of the unit has showed it was recording. My question...do these "ghost" programs still take up space on...

Just to close this thread out...Dish came out today and found the indeed my LNBF had gone bad.

I had my Dish with 522 receivers for 4 days (as of yesterday) when in the middle of watching live TV I lost all signal. I tried doing a hard boot, and just get the message "aquiring satellite signal" step 0 of 5 which never goes past 0. I called Dish and had them walk me thru a system check...

I placed a call with Dish technical support this morning who validated that they have had several complaints with the 522 units. The verified that both of my complaints as being among the bugs they are addressing thru a software upgrade (slow responsiveness & missed recordings). The technician...

Thanks for the suggestions...I have tried these and 'yes' I am on L162. Had to recheck hoping I wasn't and this would be my fix. The 501 guide was quite responsive when scrolling thru menus & guides...interesting you don't have any recording problems though. Try recording multiple programs...

I actually quit service earlier this year...then I had to argue to get them to accept me again as a new customer. Finally, after speaking to the supervisor I was told, "it will be a $25 service activiation fee, and then I would qualify for new customer promotions". Have you tried threatening...

I recently got the DVR 522 after having used the DVR 501 for 3 years. Although I've only had it for 3 days now, I'm very disappointed with it. The system is extremely slow scrolling thru the Guide or recorded programs lists. Also, I've noticed that at least 7 programs which were scheduled to...
