See the thread on 522 activation - it does not seem to be a problem as long as the 522 has never been activated before. And the 522 TV2 connection does have composite video and L/R analog audio outputs(RCA connections). So if your second TV is within ~25' of the receiver and you can run the...

If you put the receiver in "single" mode (press the mode button on the front of the receiver), you can use the PIP buttons to swap between the two tuners on TV1. (It's a mystery to me why there is no mode button on the remote.)

I can see a huge benefit of having an identically sized spare drive as insurance against failure, and plan to set one up myself. And the idea of swapping a drive to another receiver while archiving to DVD also makes sense since it has to be done in real time. But no one has answered my...

I've had a 510 for almost 2 yrs, and just got a 522. I've come close to filling the drive, but only because I was too lazy to clean it up. No offense intended, but I have to ask those of you that want bigger drives, how do you find time to catch up to 100 hrs of recordings? And if you just...

Overall, I'm happy, despite being lied to about Named Based recording on the 510, and other minor glitches with the receivers.

I found you can't highlight the TV1 or TV2 choices on the info screen unless the TV1 UHF option is selected (from another menu.)

I bought a 522 from eBay on Sunday that I received yesterday, and had it activated by emailing my request to ceo@dishnetwork.com, as instructed here. Before I purchased it, I had the seller give me the receiver (R00...) and smartcard (S00...) numbers, and I called the regular Dish help number...

Interesting - I'd like to do just the opposite on my 510. I always have to check the one minute early box and then manually set the end time to a few minutes later. There is nothing more frustrating than having the recording end with a show still running. I have a 522 coming, and I suppose...

Yep - my bad! I stand corrected. :o But I'd still go for the low tech, low cost, run another cable solution. Less equipment = less to fail, and more cables = more options.

If you're going to retire a receiver, and therefore already have enough ports on your existing switch, I'd say go ahead and run the extra cable. I know it's a pain to do, but coax cable is cheap, reliable, universally compatible and won't become obsolete anytime soon like switches, diplexors...

Thanks guys! After your comments and a little more research, I've decided to just keep things very simple for now, and deal with HD when I actually have a need for it. I've run a second cable from my dish to my main receiver, and when I get a 522 I'll just connect the new cable in place of...

I'm a newbie to this forum site (my first post), but I did search for answers every way I could think of first. I've been reading posts for a couple of days now, and like most enthusiast forums, the knowledge base is astounding! I thought I knew a fair amount about satellite TV, but I've...
