I have programmed it (with all 18 remote control numbers listed) and I can get the remote to control my RCA projection 52" TV...

    Stuck with XM??? I want to convert!!!

    I love my Pioneer car stereo DEH-P7600MP. It does MP3's, has a nice organic display... but is XM ready, not Sirius ready. This happened because I bought this head unit before everyone went to the "Satellite Ready" era we are now in - where a head unit will accept either XM or Sirius. My...

    Caller ID on 522 answering my phone?

    I just went out and bought a new RCA wireless phone jack for my 522 because my old one blew up when it got hit by lightning... the new one I bought says CALLER ID COMPATIBLE - where my old one was not. Now when the phone rings, it rings once then I think the 522 is hanging up!!! When I...

    Stereo?

    I'm wondering if there is a setting for MONO or STEREO on the 522. The reason I ask is because I have the 522 going into my TV and audio comes out of the TV and into my receiver. The surround speakers are not outputting sound on any channel. --- and it was just working a few feeks ago! Nothing...

    Recording with new software

    I've read the instructions... but I can't figure this out. When I am scrolling through the channel guide and I see a program I want to record... I hit the select button and it brings up the record screen. I then tab over and select ONCE and set the timer... it then says something like "searching...

    Channel Listing Option Question

    I really like the new feature under preferences that allows the user to just view the subbed channels when looking at the channel listings... BUT... it only works once! I select it... then view the channel listings... and only get my subbed channels... then, a few mins later I view the listings...

    My 522 has never done this before

    I noticed my 522 fan has been on a lot recently (in the past few days)... maybe that is new... maybe not... but I never noticed it on before.... then, last night I was watching America's Most Wanted on Fox 5 NY on TV 1 when my wife said she was tired and was going to bed. So, I shut off my TV...

    Remote for TV2 (Blue) not sending reliable signals

    OK... I know I saw something on this forum saying you can change the "channel" of the blue remote when interference is causing an unreliable signal. I have to stand on my head, stick out my tongue just right... and hit each button 5 times... but eventually, the 522 picks up the signal... there...

    "universal" remote for 522

    I like my 522 and I even like the remote it came with - buttons are well placed and its pretty logical.... But I tried all 20-some-odd codes for my Panasonic TV... only one of the codes works... but its limited. I can't access the TV menu or many other functions.... I know I didn't...

    Only 2 days left

    OK... this is a really personal-opinion question - and I know that going in... but that being said... There are two days left to take advantage of the free sat equipment deal from Sirius... really, a day and a half. Do I really need this thing? I mean... I love electronic gadgets... I...

    trying to enter universal codes in blue remote

    I can't find my manual... and I'm trying to setup my blue remote for a Zenith TV. This much I figured out.... I hold down the TV button until it flashes... I then put in one of the coes.... THEN WHAT? I found online that codes for Zenith TVs are 501, 652, 672, 675 and 693...

    Screensaver

    Does anyone know if, after the 522 is paused for a long period of time, a screensaver kicks in? I think I've paused it up to 4 mins or so and all I see is the paused image on the screen... I have a rear projection TV and it can be burned if an image is on too long... I used to have an RCA PVR...

    Auh-nulds Face

    OK... its not just Arnold's face (on 60 Minutes last night).... but a lot of times when they are showing someone's face close up (while watching live TV on my 522) when the person talks - it looks like the face is morphing or something... almost like part of the face is moving and part isn't...

    Is this a published feature?

    I just tried something with my 522... I was watching a program and about 3 mins had passed.... I then realized I wanted to record, not only what I had seen..., but the remaining portion of the program... So, I hit the rewind button until it was at the beginning of the show and then I hit...

    Is this normal?

    I haven't gotten the new software yet for my 522... but maybe I know why... you tell me. When I follow the instructions on how to download the software (menu, system setup, aim dish) it says to verify that I have good signal then turn off the 522 for 15 mins... well, when I push to aim the...

    Program guide problem

    Well... this one is long and involved... but I figure I'll post the info out there in case someone else has this situation. My dish was factory installed about 3 weeks ago.... one dish 500. I ordered my local NY channels. There were some channels avail to me that would come up and say "this...

    Software

    Can you please tell me... when this new 522 software becomes avail do I have to do anything "special" to get the software? I mean, I know I read in this forum that if you go to a certain menu and shut the 522 off for 15 mins, the software will download.... but what if I don't do that? Or what...
