    Need 522 HD Diagnostic Help

    Before doing that, I decided to shut it off. (Nothing to lose, right?) Once it powered up again, it was back to normal. All timers and saved programs were intact. Should I assume that this (or worse) will continue happening?

    Need 522 HD Diagnostic Help

    Last night my 522 unexpectedly started hard disk diagnostics, so I left it on and went to bed. When I turned it on this morning (600 minutes later) it was still going. I decided to cancel it. Now it has been canceling for 25 minutes plus. I'm afraid to turn the unit off, but it may be my...

    522 Reception Problem

    The official company line from customer service is only leasing to new customers. But it's a little like the Wizard of Oz. If you ask the Wizard (ceo@dishnetwork.com) nicely he might bestow activation of a 522 on you, the existing customer. I don't know how they make the decision. We've been...

    522 Reception Problem

    Thanks to everyone for the help. I've sent the 522 back and am awaiting a replacement. (Made sure the ebay seller offered a guarantee before purchasing.)

    522 Reception Problem

    I spoke to the guy I purchased the 522 from. He claims that the 522 won't function correctly with two SW 21 switches. He says that I need a single SW 64 switch. Does this sound correct? Could I check the unit by taking one of the dishes out of the equation, that is bypass the switches and...

    522 Reception Problem

    Well, I was afraid that was the answer, but I was hoping it was just something I hadn't set up right. Thanks for all the help.

    522 Reception Problem

    The "Point Dish" screen shows a signal for 148 on Sat 1 input (along with 119 and 110). The check switch ("Installation Summary" screen) shows Port1 is 119, Port2 is 110, and Port3 is 148. I'm guessing that's it. I have checked the connectors and they seem fine. The strange thing is that...

    522 Reception Problem

    I apologize for being dumb, but I am new to all this stuff. I went outside and checked my switches, they are in fact SW21. (Sorry for wasting people's time with incorrect info.) Still having the problem, though. Any suggestions?

    522 Reception Problem

    Yes. We have a 300 Dish antenna and a 500 Dish antenna. The feeds are combined (through the switches) and fed to the 522 through two coax cables. The two cables go to the Sat 1 and Sat 2 inputs.

    522 Reception Problem

    We received our new 522 which is replacing two older receivers. Echostar activated it today. We have a Dish 300 and a Dish 500 which are connected through two DP21 (labeled "SW21-3SAT" in the test switch function) switches. When I set up the 522, I get a good satellite signal through Sat 1...
