    Dish Network DVR512 often starts recording late, occasionally starts recording too early!

    Receiver time is correct Yes, the first thing I did was check that the receiver time is correct. I've checked it several times and it is always exactly right. Still mysterious why the receiver, instead of starting to record, would have a pop-up for a Pay-Per-View channel that I've blocked, and...

    Dish Network DVR512 often starts recording late, occasionally starts recording too early!

    I just received a DVR512 as a replacement for an ailing DVR508. I noticed right away that events seemed to start recording well into a show already a minute or two underway. Even setting the global parameter "Start Early: 2 minutes" didn't help. Today I decided to set a few timers and watch...

    Recorded events disappearing

    Found the codes Well, I found the codes elsewhere and tried running a diagnostic on the HDD - which passed. I'll keep the HDD reformat code to try as a last ditch effort if more recorded events disappear.

I know of at least 4 recorded events that were there this a.m. when I checked and are now gone. One was recorded 7/11/2010 and I remember thinking that it was nuts to have something almost 1 year...

    Dish Family vs current packages

    Dish Family Plan price increase? Will Dish Family Plan stay at $24.99/month or will it also be subject to a $5/month increase? And will Dish Family Plan subscribers be included in the 2 year price freeze and the one year free Starz? Pat

    Great idea! I just taped a piece of aluminum foil over the 2 sensors on the front of my 508.

    DTVPal/TR-40 Remote Address Conflicts

    Set Receiver Remote AUX? I tried setting my 508 remote AUX to 31# but it didn't 'take'. What am I missing? I pressed and held the AUX button until all the buttons lit up then released. AUX button stayed red, then tried pressing 3 then 1 then # - if it works the AUX button is supposed to...
