not the tech's fault It's not the tech's fault that E* wants to charge me $99. Being in the service industry myself - I can appreciate being the bearer of bad news. I can imagine you guys catch the brunt more times than not. Unfortunately, this isn't anything I can fix myself... the box...

clarification Yes, I'm "renting" or "leasing" their equipment... whatever you want to call it. Just your Joe Schmo average Dish customer. I went ahead and got the $5.99 service agreement, and as soon as they make the repairs I'll cancel it - way ahead of ya there. In fact, that's literally...

Anyone else experience this? Luckily, for some reason I've never had any major problems with my 522 and accompanying switches, wires, dish, etc... I started getting drop outs and a reduction in signal strength on satellite 105, and the check switch test is showing an error. So I called...

Take some time and read other postings on this site. Your USB port is worthless; non-functional. You may as well plug it into your car's cigarette lighter... you'll get the same results.

I love the textbook responses they give you for obvious problems.... Power it off/on, check the dish, check the cables... Yeah. Thanks. I'll re-install Windows while I'm at it. Since when did DishNetwork become Microsoft?

I was fortunate until recently.. I have had very few problems with my 522 (only the occassional glitch/audio dropout/pixelization/etc...) until the past month. I woke up Saturday morning about 3 weeks ago and found all of our recordings and timers erased. I wrote it off as my 2 year old...

You're 100% correct. I should have looked in the main area for the info first. How appropriate that several people wasted everyone's time to tell me that I wasted everyone's time. In fact, I just wasted more of everyone's time. I will certainly try not to let that happen again in the future...

I've had the random recording problem also - mine usually occurs on a channel that's already set to record at a different program at a different time, but not always. And the program naming problem that Bizzach referred to is also occurring, and is extremely annoying. Yesterday, I had 10...

Two things.... 1) My only source of information regarding my 522 unit is from this forum. Not from www.echostaruser.com, not from www.dishchannelchart.com, not from any of the other related forums on www.satelliteguys.us, but this one. Right here. The one that you're reading at the moment. I...

Correct you are - I apologize for the repeat. The only forum I read is this one (for the 522) and it hasn't been posted here yet - at least for the past several weeks. But I still find it odd that I haven't heard about the price increase ANYWHERE in Dish Network's literature, it's literally...

I just walked a friend through the DishNetwork.com "order on-line", and found something interesting. In the final screen that shows his final monthly amount, this was at the bottom of the screen: ----------------------------- Effective 2/1/05: America's top 60 and Top 60 Plus will...

A feature I'd really like to see The feature I'd most like to see is this: When I set up a timer for a recording, I'd like it to record. I think this should be placed fairly high on the programmers' priority list - is that really too much to ask for from a DVR??!??!??!??!??!??!?

Dude, you are much better off with a 510 instead of a 522..... just read the comments of Dish Network's numerous happy customers in this forum. I'm contemplating making them TAKE MY 522 and give me ANYTHING else in return! Heck, I'm even thinking of getting cable back and buying a Tivo...

Me too... I'm having the same problems (I thought it was just me). It's intermittent though - sometimes they'll find matches from week to week, sometimes not. Is it somehow related to how the timers are created? If I bring up an old timer that's not firing, and look at what it's supposed...

Here's an FYI for everyone: Your UHF remote control should NOT be eating batteries! If it does, return it to DishNetwork. 2 days after installing my 522, my UHF remote went dead - no response, no lights, nothing - and I though maybe there was a problem with the remote's address number or...

Was the Daily Show on directly before or after the episode of South Park that you recorded? I have a feeling that the show titles are getting "stuck" in the buffer from previous recordings.

I too am reaching the boiling point. The only reason I haven't chucked my 522 out the window (besides the fact that it would cost me $399) is that my buddy who installs these systems swears that there is a DVD recorder on the near horizon that will utilize the USB port on the 522 unit and...

I have had similar problems. I switched ALL timers to NBR when I got the update, and every so often I will have recordings for shows I didn't set to record. Not even close - not the channels I watch, not the times I usually watch shows - just random! There were no existing timers when I...

New lesson learned - don't leave your 522 paused the entire day. My wife paused "Dragon Tales" on PBS (it was recording at the time) and LEFT IT PAUSED for the rest of the day (we both went back to work). When I got home last night, all of the recordings made for the remainder of the day...

I haven't noticed the synch problems based on a filled HD, but I have noticed the synch problems occur on my machine most frequently when I'm recording two things at once AND I'm watching a playback simultaneously. And frankly, if that's what's causing my audio skips and sync problems, I'll live...

I second the suggestion to try new batteries - the ones out of the box lasted 3 days, so I bought 2 sets of rechargables.... I always keep a set charging. Thank goodness, because the rechargables only last 3 days! I don't do that much surfing with that remote... not sure why they eat...

I think if you use the "Dish at Home" features, like the on-line payment, it actually dials in and connects - maybe that would classify as a "forced connection". If you don't want to pay on-line, just pull up you current statement, or your activity since your last statement. I'm sure this...

Haertig: ----------------------------------- >>>>(5) Make Guide faster. Should be able to scroll line-by-line or column-by-column at much higher speeds than current. ----------------------------------- As much as I miss my ReplayTV, the guide on the 522 -=ZOOMS=- in comparison. The...

Thanks n0qcu! It's great to be here! I must have misread a post (or it was erroneous) that stated NBR was already here. I really did try to find answers BEFORE posting questions - honest! Still another question (I asked it also in a different forum as well): Do you suppose that the recent...

Even though this thread hasn't been active since 6-12-04, and NBR evidentally still has not come to fruition, I have a comment: Do you suppose that the recent guide navigation problems have anything to do with an attempt to integrate NBR (maybe gradually)? It looks to me like there may be...
