So far I'm getting WGN, TNT and WGN on HD. All locals and most of the regular HD are out- I'm in the Twin Cities.

The 522 does have RCA out (for TV2), but I would have to run about 100' of RCA cable to the TV (it's in another room). This wouldn't be a problem if the sat box and TV were close by (I'm using TV1 S-cable out and optical out for the TV in the living room- sat box and TV1 are right next to each...

Just sent a PM. Don't need a printed manual, as a PDF is fine. Works great! Thanks again!

I picked up a cheap VCR from craigslist, although another one wouldn't be a bad idea just to have. Stone- I sent a PM. Thanks.

The VCR you mentioned does not have a tuner. Will this be a problem?

I have a Dish 522 DVR. I'm connecting the TV2 coax output from the DVR to the coax input on my VCR and then running RCA audio/video cables to my TV so I can get sat programming. The single coax jack on my TV is where I get OTA HDTV from (outside antenna). Now that the VCR is broke, is there a...

On my 522 it takes about 1-2 secs to switch to another channel. My HDTV with OTA broadcasts takes at least that long too.

No- TV2 is a brand new Sharp 32" LCD HDTV (if that's what you're asking). I guess I'm just using the VCR as a pass through from the DVR TV2 output and using RCA cables from the VCR to the jacks on the back of the TV. I have it hooked up and it seems to work. The SD signal from the sat box...

I just got off chat with a Dish rep- she suggested connecting the TV2 output to a VCR and using RCA cables for the DVR functions and just plug the antenna in to the coax on the TV. She also mentioned using a switch to. I didn't realize this would be so complicated. I really appreciate all the...

I went from 22 to 69, and while the signal was a bit better on lower channels, the DVR picture was still pretty bad.

I tried the 2 splitter method, and I don't get the OTA digital signal. I tried Fredinva's suggestion, and while I get a good OTA signal, the picture from the DVR is really bad. I did adjust the TV2 modulation (both analog and cable) but it's not good. I'm stuck now...

Great! Thanks a LOT! I'll try that when I get home. EDIT: Looking at the Pro Satellite Supply site, which splitters would I need? Thanks.

KAB- so you're saying I need to have the antenna feed going to the receiver, correct? I almost need a diagram to figure this out...:confused:

Is this what I need? Eagle Aspen Satellite Diplexer Signal Combiner and Splitter

The new HDTV only has one coax input. I think I should have thought this through a little more.

I read this post http://www.satelliteguys.us/dish-network-technical-discussions/137214-how-feed-external-antenna-tv2.html and I'm trying to figure out the same thing. I have a 522 connected to 2 TV's. The 522 and TV1 are right next to each other in the living room. I want an over the air...

Of the 5-6 522's that I have sent back to Dish since 2004 they have all been replaced with junky 522's, not matter how much I screamed, cried, threw a tantrum, etc. Now my current 522 (only 7-8 months old) has the famous audio clicking/ popping status. Thanks Dish :down !

Yeah, that doesn't sound right. I've gone through about half a dozen of these darned 522's in 3 years.

I figured it out going through the menu options for system standby (inactivity standby set after 4 hours Menu 8-8). I don't like having the hard drive and cooling fan running 24/7. Thanks.

This happened to my 522 about a month ago (check switch OK on TV1, TV2 no input- switched cables in back of 522, check switch again, same message). Luckily I had a few weeks of the 1 year warranty left on my last replacement 522 so I only had to pay $14.95 s/h for the new receiver.

Well, I do get the auto updates for the program guides. I'll dig into the menu a little further and see what I can find. Thanks.

I just got my 5th or 6th replacement 522 a month ago, and I noticed that the TV1 and TV2 tuners are not shutting off overnight like the old 522 boxes used to (when I don't have anything set to record). Is this really a big deal? I've gone though so many 522 receivers I think the tuners...

Had a fairly good thunderstorm move through the area this afternoon. While I didn't loose power, my 522 mysteriously died (now the 4th one since Dec '04). Did all the usual restart procedures and no-go. Dish is shipping out a new one ($14.95 s/h of course). In the mean time, I'm bringing up...

Not only did we miss the local channels now we have to worry about faulty installs? http://wcco.com/topstories/local_story_129231113.html

My 522 still records all old episodes when set to record only new. It's a hassle to delete all the old ones.
