If Wildblue is offered I suggest that you head over to: http://www.dslreports.com/forum/wildblue in order to learn about the many challenges involved with satellite internet. It is not as simple as satellite TV. I had Hughsnet (Direcway) for 4 years. In my opinion, satellite internet...

Sharpie will fade quickly in sunlight. You may want to explore a more permanent marking like exterior paint.

A good way to test a tree care company is to call them up and ask them about topping a tree. If they a) try to talk you out of it, and b) refuse to top the tree even if you insist, they they may be worth hiring. If they say "sure we can top that tree" - then do NOT hire them. No offense Mr...

We use closed captioning on the 522 all of the time with few problems. When the 522 first came out CC was sporadic at best but it has been working well for many months now. There are occasional drop outs - but usually only a line or two.

As an experiment, I hooked the RF for TV2 through an old VCR that acted only as a tuner. Using composite from the VCR to my Sony camcorder, which has an AV/DV pass through feature, I was able to use Firewire to copy video my Mac - iMovie to edit and iDVD to burn all with existing equipment...

We watch TV with captioning frequently and the 522 passes the CC signal through.

I just had yet another GoD experience with 206. Single mode and not recording - watching live TV for 45 minutes or so - hit the Guide and bang. When it recovered I had video but no audio on recorded shows and audio but no video on live TV. A reset with the power button cleared up both problems.

I have had the "can't phone home" message 3 times so far with the phone continuously connected and a check of the phone line returning OK. So far no extra charge. The 522 is shut off almost every night. No voice mail so no stutter tone. I do have poor quality phone lines that top out with a...

I added a couple of channels to my wife's favorites list so that my shows would get recorded. I have 2.05 and can confirm that this "helpful feature" can cause the wrong channel to record.

Here is the convoluted process that I used - ugly but it worked. Set up the 522 in dual mode. Connected TV2 to a VCR with RF (coax). Tuned the VCR to antenna channel 60. Extended the UHF remote antenna with a bit of coax to improve reception. Connected the VCR to a digital camcorder...

Just happened again tonight. Recording on TV2, hit Guide on TV 1 and poof. 9:52 My new box arrived but I have not finished watching some recorded events.

My 522 is doing a similar thing hit the guide button while recording on TV2 and 6 minutes later it finally comes back on. The last 2 time it happened were also around 10:00 PM It also did it once while recording. The show split into 2 chunks with about 6 minutes missing. I called Dish and...
