    Not able to hop through commercials for past week

    [FIXED] Not able to hop through commercials for past week Thanks for the tips. The reset I did yesterday morning via the red button on the front of the Hopper fixed the problem. As of last night, Monday night's PTAT recordings showed the red kangaroo. Unfortunately prior days shows don't show...

    Not able to hop through commercials for past week

    Since about Sunday, May 12 my Hopper no longer shows the red Hopper indicator on PTAT recordings, nor prompts to hop through commercials when starting to play a recorded show. I assume I would see a 100+ page thread here if Dish abandoned the hopping feature, so my Hopper must have a problem...

    Software bug? PrimeTime Anytime recordings missing after Seek & Record episode recorded

    I've discovered a possible software bug that perhaps others could confirm? I've confirmed this with 2 Seek & Record timers that also record during PrimeTime Anytime: Family Guy and Two and a Half Men. The night of the PrimeTime recordings the shows are in the PTAT folder, but by the next evening...

    DISH NETWORK INTRODUCES ONLY ONLINE VIDEO PORTAL WITH LIVE TV INTEGRATION

    I was most interested in being able to stream live or recorded content from my 722k. Looks like I need to upgrade to the 922. I clicked on the website links to find out pricing, and even though I was logged into my Dish Network account it started leading me through the steps of selecting a...

    I have noticed picture freezes when FF and RWD, but nothing severe.

    L2.98 > L4.11 - Not much new that I notice

    Last night my 522 got upgraded from L2.98 to L4.11 I never saw L3.83 Some new features with L4.11 that I noticed: • In the Recorded Shows List it now shows "Episode (#)" and "Original Air Date" - handy if you record a lot of not-new episodes. • You can now "Rename" recorded shows - handy...

    I think my 522 got smarter

    "New" episodes are finally not based on the year This morning I was looking through upcoming recordings and noticed that this Sunday's Desperate Housewives was crossed out since it is "Not a new episode" even though the date is 2005. I was going to come to the forum and post a similar topic...

    Buckle up! L2.50 to spool for 522 and 625 on June 29

    Buckle up! L2.50 to spool for 522 and 625 on June 29

    :confused: That was the first thing I looked for and noticed thanks to a previous post. The new "TV Guide" logo is at the top of the screen in the middle - between the banner and the preview window. Maybe you have a different guide display setting that has always shown the "TV Guide" logo?

    Buckle up! L2.50 to spool for 522 and 625 on June 29

    Got my new software last night :) Quick way to check is pull up the guide - there is now a "TV Guide" logo at the top. New features include... • Set default padding of shows (no need to change to 0/0 every time you create a new event timer). • Maximum Recorded Events, automatically...

    Buckle up! L2.50 to spool for 522 and 625 on June 29

    What's the delay at rolling 2.51 to all boxes? From what I recall in the past, it only took about a week to roll new software out. It's been a week-and-a-half and I'm still waiting. It must be a fairly bug-free version since if it was bad I'm sure we'd see a ton of posts here saying something...

    Buckle up! L2.50 to spool for 522 and 625 on June 29

    Another example... on my Tivo I have "Keep At Most" set to 1 episode for the morning news at 5:30. So I can wake up at 6 and still catch the entire broadcast. The next morning it deletes the previous morning's episode when the new one records. This is also helpful when I am out of town, I don't...

    Great News! That's another feature my TiVo has that my Dish DVR has always been lacking. Sill at 2.39 this morning :(

    There calling it 2.51 now http://www.dishnetwork.com/content/customerCare/technical/software_versions/index.asp with no mention of 2.50. I'm still waiting - I want the new features.

    522 L2.36 Release Notes

    Bottom line, the timers still add an extra 4 minutes of unneeded programming and hard drive space to each recording unless you use about 10 keystokes to change each timer. I have the patience to do that, but when my wife records a show, she does it as simple as possible. Thus we have 34 minutes...

    522 L2.36 Release Notes

    I woke up this morning with a dead 522 - no bouncing dish logo, no daily 5:30am timer kicking in. In unplugged it and plugged it back in and it fired up. Whew. Then I noticed I had the new software. Still no option to set default program padding to zero :( I also noticed the Program...

    522 now at L2.35

    I'm not sure what day I got "upgraded" to 2.35, but my Caller ID hasn't showed up since April 1 and I've received at least a dozen calls over the weekend. Anyone else notice their Caller ID not working any more?

    Reproducible tuner audio/video sync problem every morning my 522

    I've got my 522 in single mode. M-F I have an AutoTune timer set to tune to the morning news at 5:30am, so if I wake up at 6:30 I can rewind an hour and catch the news from the beginning. My EPG shows that the tuner is happening on "TV1". The problem I experience is when swapping to "TV2", I...

    2.33???

    My update showed up Wednesday... I noticed that you can now press "Info" on the remote for more detailed infomation on what the "All/New/Daily..." timers mean. It's an alternative to scrolling aside and pressing "Help". That's the only change I noticed (I don't think it was there before).

    2.33???

    Hmmm, I'm still at 2.32, but the website shows 2.33 now http://www.dishnetwork.com/content/customerCare/technical/software_versions/index.asp Anyone else notice any positive changes with the new software - like an option to change the default 1/3 minute padding on all timers, without having...

    New Episode Timer Warning: 2005 programs set to be skipped

    I've got a stand-alone TiVo, but I haven't checked to see if there was an issue with new 2005 episodes. On the TiVo the show details don't show "New" for new episodes - but it does show an "R" for repeat episodes. Maybe TiVo and Dish use different EPG providers - if there is more than one...

    New Episode Timer Warning: 2005 programs set to be skipped

    recording to dvd

    ^^ Care to point to one of those threads? I've done some extensive searching including the "Similar Threads" at the bottom of the page, and the what I saw doesn't show any problems recording from DVR to DVD.

    New Episode Timer Warning: 2005 programs set to be skipped

    My EPG updated yesterday as I tried to scroll past next Sunday. I waited until this morning to give it time to update the timers - yet the 2005 new episodes through Friday are still being skipped. So I have manually had to "Restore" the skipped new 2005 episodes.
