    Just Switched to Dish - HAD OTA HD!!

    I just switched to Dish and now I can not figure out how to get OTA digital local channels from my roof top antenna. Before I could just go to channel 3.1 and that worked great. When I scan I get zip. Any ideas? Thanks! Jer

    522 Fan Noise

    My unit sits on a wood shelf inside a closed wood cabiinet with a large open space in the back. My tuner, DVD player, VHS, sit below it on 3 shelves. I will try and move it around and maybe set it up on something to give it more space. It appears to be drawing air from the vents on the left...

    522 Fan Noise

    I unplugged the unit for a few hours to let it cool down completely. Plugged it back in and the fan started up immediately and then it shut down after a few minutes. 20 min later it came back on and hasn't turned off since. It IS the fan that is making the rumbling sound. Probably nothing to...

    522 Fan Noise

    Is it normal for the fan to run 24/7? Also, it is making a loud rumbling sound that I am certain is not normal. Any ideas?

    PPV Dilema

    Thanks for the input Stargazer, I did record the show at 10pm, so I didn't have a chance to pick it up later. But I also noticed that the recording did not show up on my DVR list. Is that right? I just figured it was some sort of lockout feature for PPV programming. Is the recording in a...

    Pointing Dish Help

    Sorry if this issue has already been discussed, but I could not find my answer directly by searching. I have a 522 with a SuperDish. I live in Kansas. I lose signal everytime it rains here, which lately has been every night it seems. This is why I am even concerned about the "Point Dish"...

    Recording a show being auto-recorded...

    I know it sounds like an odd question. Quite simple though so here goes nothin. I have my DVR 522 set to auto record (default feature) This means that when I land on a channel, w/o having to hit record it is already doing so. Comes in handy when I want to rewind something I missed. My...

    Probs with recording future shows

    Dilemma: I have TV1 set to record a show at 9:00pm. I see another program I want to record for the same time on a different channel.

    I know that I can page up or page down easily or enter in the desired channel when browsing through hundreds of channels, however, I was wondering if there was a way to do the same going horizontally so to speak. What if today is Tuesday and I wanted to record something 3 days away. Do I have to...
