    Picture getting worse...

    Ok, I got Dish installed on the 22nd of Dec and at first the picture was awesome accept for some normal garbage from using coax instead of s-video. Over the next week or so it seemed to slowly decrease in quality to the point that I noticed it on most everything I was watching. Now, the picture...

    522 Locking up

    Has anyone else had a problem with the 522 locking up every now and then for a few seconds? Sometimes when I go to use the box after having not touched it for a little bit(30+min) it will lock up and the guides wont work but I can still see picture moving. Then, after about 5-15 seconds, it...

    What is sat 119 for?

    What channels does it provide or what does it do? I notice that 110 for me gets great signal all the time, even though bad weather, but 119 always has a low signal on transponder 12 and good signal on 11. However, when it rains both transponders on 119 go pretty low. Also, I am getting...

    Question about the 522...

    First, is there a way to set it so that when in single mode it will always record on the tuner you want? I want to settings and set it to tuner 2 as the primary but it still doesnt matter ... it just picks which one it wants even if it doesnt make sense. Also, I am thinking about turning it...

    Ok, so I just got my dish installed but I really dont see any better picture over the local cable I was getting, infact I see kinda worse... There is this background wave coming through from right to left and while it cant be seen all the time its there enough to get annoying. My...

    Problems with the 522?

    I am getting a 522 next week yet was noticing a lot of people saying there are so many problems with the 522's. However, I notice a lot of those posts are dated around 3-5 months ago ... My question is, are they still near as buggy as they were back 3-5 months ago? Are they even buggy much...

    522 or 510?

    I have an install tech coming out to set things up next week and he is bringing the 510 but I heard that the 522 has the ability to record one show while watching another on the same tv, is this true? Also, I asked a CSR if there was a price diff between the 510 and 522 yet he said there is...
