I think someone is either feeding you a line, or they're feeding the rest of us one. The tech *I* spoke to over a MONTH ago indicated that they had already received over 100 calls on this issue (loss of audio on TV2) and that it WAS due to 4.13, and that the techs didn't have a clue WHY the...

*Sigh*.. We're still having this problem, and it's driving me insane. Has anyone had any luck with Dish Network in getting any info on it? Replacing the box (except maybe with a 625) obviously won't do any good, since the problem is in the software. :(

I haven't had a chance to call Dish Tech Support yet, as we left on vacation shortly after my post, and just returned last night.. I'll probably give them a ring tomorrow or the next day and report it. They won't be able to replace my receiver, since I sub-contract through AT&T, but at least I...

Those IP Lookup utilities rely on each individual ISP entering the correct geographical information in each of their routers, seperately, and cannot be trusted to verify the actual location of the router; not to mention that it's not possible to verify the street address of an IP. Therefore...

Ever since getting the 4.13 download, my audio has been completely turning itself off on TV2 every so often (sometimes as often as 2-3 times an hour, then not doing it for 3 hours straight.. it's random & weird.) I'm not connected via TOSLink though, just standard RG-6 Coax into TV2.

Thanks for the verification, MrSchwarz. It's done it 3 times just in the last hour and it's driving me batty. :) I suppose I'll call the Techies tomorrow and see if it's at least been reported yet.

Guess it isn't going to matter too much, since I have a 522.. and according to Scott a little further down, it doesn't have an Ethernet port. Ah well. :)

Ah.. Ok, thanks you two. I wasn't aware that Dish had a "Free" DVR at all, so that does tend to throw that argument (from Dish) out the window. :) It's still cheaper than Tivo though, unless you were one of the lucky ones to get a "Lifetime" plan ($299) back when they offered that plan (which...

I thought they charged the fee because the DVRs are actually like having two satellite boxes.. You can watch one channel while recording another.

I hope they think about people like me that don't use wired ethernet -- I use 802.11G. I've even got a spare USB Wireless Adapter ready to plug in for it -- but the reciever will need a configuration screen or two allowing me to plug in my SSID and WEP key. Definitely looking forward to this...

Just wanted to follow up and say that I've been using the AV700E for about 2 months now, and I couldn't be happier. Well, I *could*, but that would require me to have a 942 or 622 instead of a 522.. Waiting 40 minutes to transfer 1 hour of Dish Programming is darn near real time. :) That...

Ever since downloading the 4.13 upgrade, TV2 has randomly been dropping audio; changing channels up/down 1 channel will fix it, and it's happening fairly often -- 4-5 times in a day. I've hard booted the receiver a couple of times, but the problem comes back. Has anyone else noticed this, or...

OK, I just got off the phone with Tech Support at Dish Network -- Apparently they actually received a memo today specifically indicating that if anyone calls in with "DVR Issues with Fast Forwarding or Rewinding on the 522 with Software Revision 4.11" to create a ticket and send it over to the...

Interesting. I just started seeing the exact same problems with my 522 tonight. I thought maybe my unit was just going bad, I wasn't even aware that we had received a firmware/software upgrade. Glad this place is here! :) Now I'll run over to DishNetwork.com and add my voice to the (probably)...
