Well, Single Mode is a different thing entirely. If he/she has other people in the home that watch TV1 at the same time that TV2 is in use, they're going to have problems with Single Mode. In that case, just enable "Record Plus." Go to Menu - 8 - 6, select "Enable" and set your record...

Well, it appears they've basically fixed none of the bugs in the much-anticipated L204 "update." And, as usual, have managed to introduce a few new ones. They might not be good at fixing bugs, but at least they're consistent. :rolleyes: During limited use of the 522 in just the past day and a...

If you go to Menu - 6 - 3 - Connection, is it able to see the phone connection?

Yeah, I hate when that happens. No need to blame your kid; it's Dish's (and the 522 development team's) fault. There isn't anything you can do to stop it either. Sometimes it just feels like deleting everything. Oh well. :rolleyes: Oh, and I almost forgot to tell you, all of your timers have...

I'd wait for Simon or one of the other members who are more knowledgeable about installs, but I think you could run into problems with runs that long. Perhaps you'll need something in there to amp the signal, so I would hold off on running cables if I were you. Yeah, if you want wall plates...

Well, DirecTivo costs $5 a month for ALL of your Tivo units. You could have a DirecTivo on every TV of your install and still only pay a total of $5 a month. Now, with Dish's DVR program you pay $5 a month for EACH DVR unit. So if you have a 510 upstairs and a 522 downstairs, you end up paying...

Months? :shocked I feel really lucky if I make it through a 24-hour period without a reboot. Oh, you must be a cranky perfectionist, too. ;)

Yeah, this is real common (and has been for quite a while). I've experienced it on three different boxes and posted pictures of it happening, here. I always just described it as "the color fading in and out and leaving a black and white picture," but now that I think about it, you're absolutely...

Well, I'm certainly tired of posting about issues with the 522. Also, there's not much more people can say. Since all the bugs are already "out there" on this board, there's a finite amount of new complaining left to go around. If you want to know if things have improved, I would have to say not...

The 30 second skip forward button takes you ahead 24 hours. The 10 second skip back button takes you back 24 hours. It's a little easier than entering the numbers manually.

Simon, you couldn't be a simpleton if you tried. :) You're going to teach me about writing? LOL. I used to write for a living. My editors never complained, and neither did my readers. Your assertions are wrong on so many levels that it's hard for me to even know where to begin. First of...

Oh, I'm SO sorry that my post made all of you ADD children waste precious brain cycles. My posts usually run long for two reasons; I love to talk/write, and I have something to say. If you folks are having trouble reading a WHOLE paragraph, perhaps you would be better suited to give up message...

hall, I can't say I've ever experienced this particular bug, but typerk reported the same exact problem HERE. So it's definitely not just you. I'd say call and complain. It doesn't look like something that's being widely reported so I doubt they're even working to fix it. Maybe you could be the...

Good tidings and cheer, fairy dust, and raspberry marmalade. :p No, but seriously, I believe any hardware/software type company that's worth their salt will tell you what's in an update. For example, just last week I purchased a new GPS receiver from Garmin. Even though the thing works...

You answered your own question. In your scenario, single mode would probably be the best choice. If you had someone else in your household that regularly watches TV2 while you're watching TV1, then you'd want/need to be in dual mode. It's just a trade off, really. Picture in picture, or run two...

Guys, I don't believe he's really aiming his dish. He's asking about the different transponders/spotbeams he sees in the "Point Dish" screen.

Well, you really can't "set" the transponder/spotbeam. All you're really doing in the point dish screen is looking at the signal strength for any given transponder. The receiver itself will select the appropriate transponder or spotbeam depending on the channel you tune to (different channels...

jgray127, I feel your pain. We only use ours in dual mode so I don't know if that's a common problem you're experiencing or not. But the bouncing Dish logo over video? Yeah, I hate when that happens. As far as Dish reading this forum, I couldn't really tell you what the frequency is, but yes...

syphix, do you have the updates enabled in the menu (Menu - 8 - 5)? And if so, is it possible that you (or someone in the house) was watching TV at the update time and cancelled the update? Try this: do a manual reboot (hold down the power button on the front of the receiver for about 5 seconds...

LOL. I can't figure out if that's a shot at Dish or not. Are you saying he'll just get used to the fan, or are you saying something else? :p

Yeah, I don't think so. I think most of us have been to the depths of our 522 menus. If that setting existed somewhere, I'm sure someone would have stumbled on it by now. Sorry.

As far as my own personal experience (three different 522s, several months of use, pretty close scrutiny) I've never seen the fan come on out of the blue. It only does it for a few short moments when the unit reboots. So I would agree that you might be having heat/airflow issues. But like Simon...

Simon, you're so right about the other models. And as has been mentioned many times before, at least the 522 is sort of free (well, not really considering in the long run they're going to make a killing on these rentals). I feel really bad for all the poor souls that have the other Dish...
