    OK... that was wierd

    Actually, it is a bug they fixed. I did this once right after getting my 522, and I basically got 4 timers showing stuff from the paused channel. So it has improved from *that* state :) But, I still do it quite a bit, because I leave expecting to be out for only a few minutes and end up being...

    Does DN and the 522 support Closed Captioning?

    I can verify that it is. I was watching CSI on Spike yesterday (recorded from the day before) and my wife muted rather than pausing (which I hate!) and the captions came up. It's definitely something TV does, not the 522. If the 522 did break CC, it would be a violation of federal law, which...

    Name Based Recording Discussion (L232 Software)

    Indeed, there is a large push to make software patentable rather than copyrightable. This would give software companies *more* control over their products, but for a shorter period of time. This pushes inovation (you have a vested interest in improving products sufficiently to require a new...

    Name Based Recording Discussion (L232 Software)

    Really? I thought the 522 was the flagship product. Am I wrong in thinking the 921 is an HD device, and therefore still very much an limited market product? Sure, we have a very high ratio of HD users here, but I imagine they don't make up the bulk of Dish customers.

    522 Comprehensive Bug List and Feature Wish List

    Timers from Guide Here's another Feature that could be a Bug: When using the guide to make timers, have a little better AI to decide which Tuner to use. Or better yet, let the USER decide which tuner to use. For instance, if I'm recording three shows in a row on the same channel, they...

    522 Dialing Problem with Wireless Jack

    To test, try taking the phone cord that is currently plugged into the dish receiver and see if it works on a normal phone... just to be sure it's not a problem with the 522. Make sure you do NOT turn on the caller ID feature... it will screw up your normal phone service (phone rings once...

    audio and vidio out of sync

    Yes, I've noticed once now that when watching a DVR event, if the picture signal burps, the audio and video goes out of sync. Stopping and resuming the program fixed it. I haven't seen a repeat of it yet. :cool:

    The manual housecleaning myth

    I was told that if it breaks, then they charge to fix it. It's either a charge if they have to come out to fix it, or if you send it in to fix it. Granted, I could send it back and cancel my service, but I don't really *want* to do that. So, was I duped? Should I cancel it now?

    Dish Pvr522 Glitches

    I've never seen in this in the TV signal, but I do see it in the menu all the time. I assume it's a software problem since it's ONLY in the menu for me. (Mine actually flashes monocrome, it doesn't switch entirely)

    Do you leave your E* receivers on ........

    Actually, my 522 says that if I don't set a download time, (3 am), then downloads will only happen when the receiver is powered off. So my impression is that downloads happen at 3 am whether or not i turn the receiver on. As far as I've been able to tell in my limited use, *all* the green...

    Some final pre-installation questions

    Hopefully, sometime between 12-5 today a nice installer-type person should be coming to my house. I have some final questions (and hopefully, I won't need to write again for help *after* it's installed. Everything will just work, right? ;) 1. I ordered from dishnetwork directly (I know, I...

    Installation questions....what will the installer do?

    How is an installer going to be able to put new wire in if I'm only allowed on wall punch-through? (Which I assume is to bring the cable to the box?) I already know the installer will need new cable to go to the receiver. I had hoped it wouldn't be necessary, since as I've said, it's...

    Installation questions....what will the installer do?

    I'm getting installed on Sunday, and I have the same question... does this mean that he can use existing cable wire? I have a brand new house (built 2002) that was pre-wired for cable. The Dish should be mountable right over the place where the cable comes into the house and then splits among...
