    My response from Tech about 522 issues

    Seems they are certainly aware and claim to monitor the forums: I am taking this time to inform you of the ongoing (and oft reported on various internet forums) issues of video freezing and audio dropouts on my 522 receiver. I will not get into the issues of my 811 receiver as the 522 is...

If so, how is...
