    Adult timers ?

    Understandably, the DVR has trouble paying attention on these channels. :)

    Time remaining doesn't match ACTUAL time!.. 522

    All you have to do is keep pressing the DVR button, and it updates the free space.

    Couple of 522 problems

    I forgot about the system info screen randomly appearing.. I get that as well.. In fact, it could well be that when it comes on, the timers won't fire, as I think that it was those days that my timers broke. Anyways, I've been rebooting every morning, and it hasn't happened again...

    Time remaining doesn't match ACTUAL time!.. 522

    I don't think it's approximate, I think it is the absolute maximum amount that you can record.... That is, if you recorded the Color Bar channel :rolleyes:

    Couple of 522 problems

    I haven't been following this forum recently and did a few searches and didn't see this topic.. I've been having a recurring problem recently where on occasion a timer won't fire.. It says it's recording (The guide, not the red light) but nothing is there. Also, when I try to record manually...

    If they activated the USB port for this activity, then you could connect it to your computer which is connected to the 'net.

    522: Recorded Events Being Named Incorrectly?

    I was just flipping through my DVR List and my schedule. It seems that all the shows recorded on tuner #1 seems to be named incorrectly for me. These are all recorded using NBR (new & all). I never had a manual timer (selected from guide) record under the wrong name. I haven't used Dish Pass yet.

    522: Recorded Events Being Named Incorrectly?

    I'm having a problem that just started last week. I will record an episode of '24' and it will show up as "Nanny 911", which happened to be the program that was on just previously. Or "CSI: Crime Scene Investigation" when I was recording "Without A Trace". It is intermittent, shows up on one or...

    newbie help

    You can leave it on.. It will show a countdown telling you when it's about to change the channel to record the show... If you try to change the channel once it starts recording, it will warn you that if you do this, it will stop recording and give you an "OK/Cancel" choice.

    Dish Pass for new eps only?

    Interesting that you should mention Battlestar Galactica.. I discovered an interesting facet to our NBR.... I'm not sure if it was mentioned before. I wanted to set up a timer for the new series. I found the new episode this friday in the guide and accidently clicked on "all episodes."...

    Dish Mpeg 2

    I believe its a variable bitrate as they warn that different shows will take up different amounts of space depending on how much action.

    more audio drops

    It used to only be a playback issue... Now it seems to be on live TV as well. At least it's not freezing for me, just a audio dropout followed by pixelation. It's also storing it that way, since it's still there when I do a rewind.

    Why is that? TV2 does have composite output too..

    Another mad scientist - 522 drive swapping

    So that could mean that after recording a one hour show (assuming it had "typcal" recording size) that the machine would say that it had 99:15 left. It's possible, due to the hard-coding, that when it says "0 hours left" that it has 140 hours actually on the drive. It is possible that the "100...

    Is there hope for Dish and DVRs after all?

    Nice... I like the fact that you can use any PC with web access to program the box..

    name based recording; two things not to do and one additional confusing thing

    Hmm... This is scary as I always do a search this way.. Never seen the search button before... I think I will start using it now... Is it confirmed that using the search button is safe in the above conditions?

    New Episode Timer Warning: 2005 programs set to be skipped

    Anyone check to see if this (skipping new shows) is happening on DirecTivo's? Maybe the TV channel is listing it wrong.

    Not sure if already addressed but...

    2.32 seems to have fixed my system.... I no longer have any audio pops/squeaks/sync/glitches whatsoever... I still have a couple of video glitches, 3 or 4 per show, but that could be a reception problem... My signal strength averages in the mid 70s.

    Another mad scientist - 522 drive swapping

    I use Norton Ghost religiously every 30 days to keep my system fast and clean. Gets rid of spyware, adware, viruses and just crap in general... Oh.. Also gets rid of 30-day demo software ;) I wonder if the 522 accesses the TV as you would a normal monitor? Since it is Linux, could you put...

    Serious Bug in Latest 522 SW

    You can say "all shows" but it won't record if it thinks that its a duplicate.. Sorta like if you record "Trading Spaces" :mad: that comes on 7 times a day you don't want 7 copies of the same thing each day, but they still give you the option to override it, which is a great feature, I think.

    Serious Bug in Latest 522 SW

    I have one occurance of this... I have it set to record every episode and it skips some of them on occasion when I know for a fact that it is different... I have to constantly look at the schedule and "unskip" each one... I doubt that it only looks at the description as there are so many...

    Deleting a Timer

    I have no problem with it.. I go to the Timers menu in the Schedule, select the timer, press "Delete". It pops up just one more menu that shows all instances of that timer in the current schedule where you have to press "delete" or "Ok" or something like that.. Just one extra step.
