I don't have the original paperwork from when I got my disk installed. I have had it since May 2004 and all of a sudden my apartment complex is giving me grief over it. I was under the impression that I was under a two year contract with Dish but found out that I wasn't. The lady told me to...

Thanks a lot everyone for your response and yes I have been hearing that I shouldn't get a plasma and am looking into lcd. No matter what, by this christmas or who knows maybe by labor day I will have a new tv. I think I will hold off on switching the receiver for now though.

Ok I'm sorry, last question. Will the 522 look that bad on a hdtv or will I absolutely have to change receivers immedately to justify buying a new tv? Anyone run the 522 with a hd? Thanks for your responses.

Do they have dual HD tuners with DVR or will I have to get two different receivers? Will they have to change anything else, is it as simply as swapping the box?

I am really looking into getting a HDTV plasma but I am curious if I will have to change anything with my 522 hookup? Will the 522 work with it or will I have to change receivers?

This gd thing is going to make me toss it out the window. Why do they insist on not letting us record something twice? Most of the time they are quite wrong. I'm trying to tape the British Open in the morning on tnt and right after that on abc. It won't let me insisting it's a duplicate timer...

Being able to edit timers without deleting them and starting over and no more of the 1 and 3 minute padding sounds good to me. Double the audio drops you know will accompany this doesn't.

To piggy back on this thread a little, why do you have to pay a fee if your phone line isn't connected to the receiver? The only thing I see it is used for is paying your bill on your receiver, other than that everything is downloaded via satelite.

I have an easier solution, make every timer automatically not have the 4 minute cushion and if you want to add it yourself then you do. It seems to me that most people have no use for it. How many of us have went into menu hell to delete a timer and then re program it without the cushion. This...

I never knew you could do that to bring up the system screen. I'm scared to try it now though. This may be another bug: When I go to watch tv I usually hit the power button on the remote for the receiver first then turn on the tv. I notice for some odd reason that doesn't work anymore. I...

No and it incenses me. You are actually trapped in that screen, the view tv doesn't even work. So you have to wait til that check switch is done before you get out of it. You can actually go to the next page in that info screen but if I'm not mistaken every screen starts a new check switch test.

Thanks a lot, that did the trick.

Although they are recording when I go to look at my timers they all say no info available but it's in the slot where I want somethng to record. It's recording and labelling the programs correctly but I just have to guess what's going to record. Also when I try to look ahead to see what's coming...

Do you know what it does?

Actually the dvr doesn't adjust when you have back to back recordings. At least mine doesn't. If I don't take away that padding it causes havoc. And at least 7-10 times I hit "all" when I wanted to hit once and had to go through the whole menu hell of deleting the timer. Why "all" is the first...

It will record whether you have the receiver on or off.

The suggestion to take off the 1 minute before and 3 minute buffers is a good one. I was not even looking at those buffers and one day noticed that sometimes it actually adds 60 minutes to the ending. I have no clue why some timers come up 3 minutes and some 60 but I was getting a lot of...

From my experiences whichever tuner you have as your preferred tuner will give u problems if you try to set two timers up at the same time on that tuner. For example my preferred is tv1 and if I set up two recordings at the same time on that tuner it gives u the conflict, but if I use tv2 to set...

Not sure of your question but it will start recording automatically and if someone is home and tries to change channels, it will give u a warning before turning but it will let you change the channel.

How do you guys feel about the 3 dollar increase starting Feb. 1st?

This happened to me last night actually. It showed south park was coming on, it even showed south park recording, but later when I went to watch it said it was The late show with Jon Stewart. It was south park when I watched it but it showed otherwise. I hope this doesn't become a common thing.

I have dsl too. This is one of the things that never ever went wrong with my box. Out of all the things that did go wrong caller ID works 100% of the time and always did. A lot of times it pops up on the tv before the first ring even.

This has happened to me a few times. The first time I did a power down but everything was ok. As long as it keeps fixing itself pretty quick I won't complain too much about it. But you know one time it won't fix itself at all.

I have 1st and 10 on a "record all new" timer. It's an half hour show that comes on mon-fri but if I don't go and manually stop the recording it will record forever. Yesterday it recorded for 5 hours and some change. Any suggestions?

I noticed way more audio drop outs in recorded programs. Shows are almost unwatchable because of it. I thought they had this thing licked but I was wrong.
