    Convert coax to RCA

    I have a Dish 522 DVR. I'm connecting the TV2 coax output from the DVR to the coax input on my VCR and then running RCA audio/video cables to my TV so I can get sat programming. The single coax jack on my TV is where I get OTA HDTV from (outside antenna). Now that the VCR is broke, is there a...

    522 and exterior antenna connection

    I read this post http://www.satelliteguys.us/dish-network-technical-discussions/137214-how-feed-external-antenna-tv2.html and I'm trying to figure out the same thing. I have a 522 connected to 2 TV's. The 522 and TV1 are right next to each other in the living room. I want an over the air...

    522 tuner not shutting off

    I just got my 5th or 6th replacement 522 a month ago, and I noticed that the TV1 and TV2 tuners are not shutting off overnight like the old 522 boxes used to (when I don't have anything set to record). Is this really a big deal? I've gone though so many 522 receivers I think the tuners...

    Lightning hit?

    Had a fairly good thunderstorm move through the area this afternoon. While I didn't loose power, my 522 mysteriously died (now the 4th one since Dec '04). Did all the usual restart procedures and no-go. Dish is shipping out a new one ($14.95 s/h of course). In the mean time, I'm bringing up...

    522 responding slow after 2.51 update

    Shortly after the new update appeared on my 522, whenever I try to change channels, bring up the guide, etc it takes about 7-10 seconds for the box to respond. It does this for both tuners. I have also noticed that while watching live TV the picture freezes for a few seconds then skips ahead...

    522 not auto updating software

    My (second) 522 still has the old 2.35 software on it. I wouldn't have known it until it started acting goofy again and I called Dish two days ago to complain about it (recorded shows have audio drops/skips every 10 seconds and video has absolutely horrible compression artifacts/...

    522 randomly recording on its own

    If this problem has been posted before, sorry- I searched. Anywho, my now hardly 1 month old 522 (replaced once already) decided on getting a brain of its own and starts recording random channels. Last week it recorded 4 hours of a non subscribed PPV channel and last night it thought it would...

    New install, lousy picture

    New user, sort of long rant, apologies abound, here's the scoop: Completely new install of DishPro500, 522 and 301 on 12-1-04. Main TV (32" flat screen Toshiba with S video) picture looks chunky/ blocky/ computer generated, etc. Yup, I did the forum search on pixelization. All of the signal...
