    Archive 622 recordings to my PC / blu-ray

    Now that you can buy a reasonably price PC with a blu-ray recording drive, is it possible to get a show recorded on my 622 to my PC for blu-ray recording? If this is possible, what hardware and connections would I need? Would this be easier with a different Dish receiver?

    Still problems with 522 on 4.13

    I'm still having problems too. I get the lockups, and trouble getting past certain spots in a recording. I also have a problem where on power on TV2 is sometimes in B&W until I select a prerecorded show to watch.

    No color on 522 when turn on

    I have seen a similar problem. I don't get it on TV1 which is S-Video. On TV 2 I sometimes see black and white when I turn it on, but it always clears up as soon as I select a prerecorded show. Steve

    522 Fix released?

    I've had 4.13 for a couple of days. As far as I've noticed, all the problems intoduced with 4.11 are resolved. They have also added a 'dish on demand' menu, which comes up when you press the DVR button. Quite annoying IMHO, because I have no interest in PPV. My free PPV coupons went unused...

    Too many timers/events? Marriage on the rocks?

    I used to have that problem all the time on my 522. I could usually work around it by rebooting the unit. I don't know if this will work on the 622, but I think it's worth a shot. Couldn't hurt to give customer service a call. Probably won't help, but it couldn't hurt. Steve

    On my 525 I have seperate component outputs for tuner1 and tuner2. The Tuner1 outputs go to the TV video1 input, and the Tuner2 outputs to my DVD recorder, then the DVD Recorder outputs to the Video2 input on my TV. To record, I set the TV to Video2, use the Tuner2 remote to control what is...

    Has DISH corrected for the Presidents speech?

    Yahoo TV listings show CBS as showing a 2 hour episode of CSI, which matches what the dish listing shows. Hopefully both listings are correct, and CBS realizes that not everyone wants to watch Buba. SteveC

    Combining TV2/TiVo signals onto one coax

    I combine the outputs of my 522 on channel 40, and my 322 on channel 60, using a simple splitter, and then split the output to go to 3 seperate TVs. It works great for me.

    DISH gave me the hard sell not to cancel

    I had similar problems when I canceled Charter Cable after I got Dish. They kept insisting I tell them why I was leaving and I kept refusing to discuss and demanding that they cancel my service. They offered me better deals, free equpment upgrades and more, but I kpet insisting that they...

    Dish Network to Pay $50,000

    I think the Do Not Call list is the best thing the State of Missouri has ever done for me. It really works, and it's so great not to be bothered by annoying sales calls. I'd be surprised if they're actually making any money off of it, considering all the time and effort they have to put into...

    522 Named Based Recording misses

    I have that problem on a regular basis. Some programs do it all the time, some never do it, and others do it intermitantly. Things go haywire when the guide updates. I can avoid the problem for short periods, by preventing the guide from updating. I do this by turning off updates in the...

    Another mad scientist - 522 drive swapping

    I don't need a DVR at all, but it sure is nice. I would have filled up my 100 hours during the Showtime free preview weekend, if I didn't start archiving to DVD on the first day. I'm sure I'll be maxed out on my upcomming 2 week vacation too. SteveC
