    Question on HD DVR's current on Dish

    Hi, I think I will be pulling the pin, and moving to an HD TV in early October. I called Dish and they will upgrade my setup for a total of $15. But they would not tell me for sure which HD DVR I would get. Should I be holding out for on model over another? My main concern is recording space...

    Lost all timers on 510 PVR

    Hi - Looking to see if anyone has the same problem. The other day the timers did not update and were 'missing' from the list. I put the one I was concerned on then figured I'd do the rest the next day. The ones "missing" showed up overnight and all was back to normal. Tonight ALL of the...

    Looking for Advise on a new TV/Sat setup

    Hi, Thought I'd look for advice here since everyone knows so much on the subject :) My current setup is dying, so I'm thinking I'd upgrade since I've got to replace things anyway. I've attached a picture of my current setup to hopefully make it clearer. I'd like to go with an HD setup...

    NHL Network Question

    Hi, Man, I had a hell of a time finding out about getting the NHL Network (NOT Center Ice). Called Dish, and even they had a hard time finding out anything. Finally told me that the only way I can get it is as a part of the $5.99 a month multi-sports package. Really don't want to do...

    Split internet drop? Please help!

    Hi, I'm sure this is something that can be done, not sure sure what I need. I have no internet near the TV and I have a slingbox. So I put in a node from a Linksys home wiring near the TV for the Sling. What I would like to do now, is use Netflix streaming, but I don't want to have to keep...

    HD Setup Recommends?

    Hi, Haven't been on here a while to post, but I figured this is the place to come. Currently have a 508 and a 510 PVR. Have been pretty happy with them overall. I'm thinking of getting a HD TV after the holidays and am wondering which HD PVR I should try and get along with it. How much is...

    Copy a Starforce Protected CD?

    Hi, Just got back from Mexico where I bought a disk of us swimming with the dolphins. A great, fun thing. However, I would like to make a backup of the disk they gave us (and I paid extra for). Turns out it's protected by something called Starforce DRM. I've been off and on trying out how to...

    Any Guide to Name Based Record on 510?

    Hi, I have looked to see if I can find a post with how to work the name based recording on a 510. I have issues almost daily, so there could be something I'm missing. I set timers as a one time, and they go away. I cannot record a show in progress, like I used to. Works like it did, but no...

    What is wrong with 510 name based recording?

    I've had nothing but trouble since they did the name based crap. Newest issue. I had a reboot last night while watching a show. It rebooted 5 or 6 times before it stopped and let me go back. Now all the 'record new' timers seem to be screwed up? I had the Daily Show set to record starting...

Here is the email she sent as a follow up. SatelliteGuy moderator I also posted this in my thread about problems with...

    Time Change Problem 510/501

    Hi, Sunday's change seemed to go okay. Everything worked fine yesterday, and up to 1:30 pm today (Last timer that fired normal). Now everything is off 1 hour. I did a couple of manual adjustments for an 8PM show and then did a reset of the box. Everything moved off by another hour. I did...

    HELP - Toslink Switcher?

    Hi and HELP! I got a new DVD player today that only has DD and DTS on optical output. While my receiver has 2 optical inputs one is for CD which limits my ability to adjust for movie related stuff. The other is being used by the 510 PVR. I would like to get a switch to 'share' the PVR's current...

    PVR 510 Problem? - Elapsed Time short?

    Hi, Okay, now something new. For the last 2 days all my recorded shows show 1 minute short in the show time. So if it's a 1/2 hour, is shows 29 minutes. 1 Hours comes up as 59 minutes. Can't tell if it's actually 'cutting off' anything, but it only has done it Tue & Wed. I rebooted it, but...

    What is with All American on Distants?

    Man, Just getting P.O'd. Sent in the RV Waiver form on 12/27. Called one time they said it might take up to 2 weeks. Have heard NOTHING from them since. I've left a message, as evidently there is NO good time to call. Said they'd call back within 48 hours. Still nothing. Do they actually...

    Hi, After a couple years of trouble free use, my 508 PVR started missing timers on Friday. Is anyone aware of any recent changes or issues? I did some test recordings today, and it seemed to be working but then my acutal timer failed to fire. I've reset it a couple of times, and pulled the...

    New Movie "Feature"?

    Hi, Came home tonight to my 508 and when I hit the 'pvr' button for my menu I got a new thing. Now I get another menu that also has Movies on it. Nothing is there yet, when I selected it, an interactive menu loaded, and then I got a list of 4 or 5 movies that "are not yet available". If I hit...

    New Feature on 510?

    Last night, as I was watching the recording for the Daily Show, just as I started to jump a commercial break, an ad came on, for what I THOUGHT was a movie I want to see. So I hesitated jumping for a second. Turns out it was a showtime channel ad, but as it played a banner came up on the screen...

    Audiovox/JVC hook up question

    Hi, I'm asking mostly for the Audiovox PNP2, but if someone has an answer for the JVC @ E-cost, I'd appreciate both. I have my PNP2 going through 88.5 FM. That was the only "open" station of the ones on the unit. Even that gets bleed with the attena hooked up. It came with a cable to...
