I'm hoping someone can explain things to me in a way my little brain can understand. My current set up is like this. I have a single coax cable running from by basement to my 622. That cable has a diplexer on it, which sends the signal down two pieces of coax into my DVR's Input 1 and Input...

:( After half an hour of no advice from phone support, I was told to send it in. The guy said it will take 10 business days to fix plus 5 business days to ship it back, so I should have it again in two weeks. I guess I need to bush up on my math. To me, that adds up to three weeks plus...

Hey all, I've had an Xbox for a couple weeks now, and got it online just the other day. I signed up for a free month of Live Gold, and my profile on my machine was replaced with a Live profile. Is there a way I can still play off line? When I fire up Test Drive Unlimited, I...

Here is my stupid set of questions for the day. I'm upgrading to HD next week, which includes replacing my 522 with a 622. Because I am changing the location of my home theater, I need to get cables to a new area of my house. There is already one line of coax to that location, so I need to...

I big storm passed through my neighborhood a couple days ago. Many houses were badly damaged, and my family and I happened to be driving home when two tornados passed within a block or two of us (though we couldn't see anything other than blackness and rain and debris and did not find out there...

Are PPV movies from Dish typically in letterbox format? And am I correct in assuming I can record them to my 522 and watch them whenever I feel like it?

I know that the coax output to TV1 on the 522 only carries mono sound. But why? Can coax not carry that much information? If that is true, how do cable companies provide stereo signals? How does that much info come down from the dish to the receiver on coax? I have my 522 at a...

While a lot of problems seem to come and go, the one constant I've had with my 522 is the 1-2 second audio drops. Do you think that this is actually a hardware issue that simply will never be fixed in some future software release? I love the 522, but those audio drops really bug me. I'm...

My 522 is telling me to test my switches about once per day, and I can't use one of my tuners until the test is done. But the tests always show everything is fine, and the tuner comes right back. So what are the switches? Where are they located? Is there really something wrong with mine...

I recently moved and used DishMover to get my 522 hooked up at my new home. At my old place, my 522 had this little coax thing screwed onto the TV2 Out. The little doohicky has a sticker on it saying something about it being required by Dish or the FCC or something. The installers took it off...

I noticed that my 522 feels pretty hot, especially around the vents, in my tightly packed entertainment center. Should I be worried about this? Should I be installing a ventalation fan in my entertainment center? Are those fans very noisy? Have I revealed my utter ignorance of these sorts...

Should I always be able to get at both satellites? Last night I stopped getting any signal from 119, and it has not come back. I've done a couple hard boots, but it does not help. Strangely, 110 now is much stronger. I suspect the dish slipped in the direction of 110, but I want to make sure...

Hi all, I am completely new to both DVRs and TV that does not require an antenna. I believe I want Dish with their 522 DVR, but I know that they want a land line connection, which I do not have. If I pay the extra $5 to compensate for not having a phone line, will my DVR be fully...
