    Phantom 522 Recordings

    Same here. Mine always shows tuner 1 as the phantom. I've never seen the "program" on the DVR list after it's done recording, however. It showed up with the L232 upgrade. I'd searched here for info before, but wasn't sure what to call the "phantom show". Glad to see others finally with...

    Name Based Recording Discussion (L232 Software)

    Mine was upgraded yesterday. Yippee! I didn't bother converting any timers -- I just deleted them all and started fresh. Too many times in the past there's been flakey timers after an upgrade, so why tempt fate with a major overhaul of the timer system? I wanted to report that one of the...

    522 Version L2.08 Update

    The "Start Over" button doesn't show up when you first go into the program from the DVR list if the show is still recording. However, if you back out of the screen via the "Done" button and then go back in, "Start Over" will be there. It's been like this for the last few versions as far as I...

    522 L2.07 Update

    I checked last night, and lo and behold, I had 2.07. I still encountered audio blips (though very few), momentary frozen video and a/v sync issues. However, and this was new to my 522, it behaved differently when a/v sync was lost. When I lost sync, I would briefly rewind (not the 10 sec...

    522 L2.06 Release Notes

    Somethin's amiss with timer recordings... Since getting the 2.06 upgrade, I've had several occurences of shows being recorded for more, or less, time than they actually were. For example, we settled in to watch NYPD Blue only to find that it was now a 38 minute program. Veronica Mars clocked...

    wrong channel recordings?

    Happened to me with 2.05 I've had the wrong channel record several times and I'm at rev. 2.05. I wasn't aware of this as a known bug (that was supposed to have been fixed). It's been driving me nuts, and thanks to this thread, I now know that the custom guide was at issue. Yet another...

    Dish tech support vs. audio dropouts

    Pikejg - The loss of color issue is one that has been discussed her before. I typically have it happen on TV2 (I can't remember ever having seen it on TV1) and yes, rewinding/skipping back and then continuing forward seems to do the trick. I hadn't seen it occur recently and thought that...

    2.03 even worse...

    Program evaporated Last night we were watching Big Brother on TV2. We were watching it after the entire show had already been recorded. Halfway through, we decided to go upstairs and watch the remainder of the show on TV1. We stopped the show on TV2. I had to lay something else off onto VHS...

    2.03: what's in it??

    I too have noticed the continuing of the audio for a second while the video pauses. This seems to have come along with 2.03. Anyone else? And last night, watching a program while TV1 and TV2 recorded others seemed to produce much, much less audio dropouts -- though the problem hasn't...

    Wrongly named recordings??

    This is something else that seems to have gotten much worse with the advent of 2.01 and 2.02. It's happened quite frequently to me in the last few weeks. I had three timer events on Tuesday (BB5, Amazing Race, Last Comic Standing). If you look at my show list, you'd think I recorded Big, King...

    Unplugged everything and now....

    Make sure you verify that the RF connector's center wire is not bent and is inserted into the hole before screwing down the connector. Also make sure that it's long enough to be inserted. Sometimes the installer will make this wire too short and simply moving the cable can cause the wire to...

    Here's a new one

    Discovered a new bug last night. I was recording The Screen Savers on TV2. TV1 was not in use. I wanted to go use TV2 on a different channel, so I switched to single mode. The recording light switched to reflect that TV1 was now recording. I proceeded to TV2. It was now on the channel...

    What does 2.02 fix?

    Guide of Death still there The Guide of Death happened several times last night. Neither TV1 or TV2 were watching a recorded show, just "live". I was on TV2, hit guide, and BLAM! Crash. Once it rebooted, I tried it again. Same thing. On the third try, the guide worked and I was able to...

    What does 2.02 fix?

    The audio dropouts are the worst they've ever been with 2.02. I did notice that with the 2.02 update that it's no longer "capturing" to the hard drive even when the tuner's off. Someone had mentioned here that they had turned their unit on, and were able to rewind back an hour like it had...

    What does 2.02 fix?

    I have to agree. I'm getting more audio pops/clicks and loss of sync now than ever, and the amount of "use" on the hard drive doesn't seem to matter. While TV1 is being used to watch a recorded show, and no other activity is happening on TV2 (either "live" or recorded), we're still having all...

    2.01 More Audio Sync issues

    One thing I've noticed with the 2.01 software is that I see more audio sync problems than ever before. It is really bad when both tuners are recording and I'm watching a recorded show. I've also had it happen quite frequently when ONLY TV1 was in use with nothing else being recorded. The only...

    Guide of Death

    My 522 is on version 2.01 software. However, I first noticed the guide crash occuring with 1.69.

    Guide of Death

    More info Well, it happened again last night at 8:17. I was watching a recorded show on TV1. TV2 was doing nothing. I hit the guide button to set a timer for a show later in the evening and "blammo", crash, burn and reboot. Sure sounds like a software error to me. I have a hard time...

    Guide of Death

    Guide Button and reboots I've also had the "guide button causes reboot" occur. It only recently (about 3-4 weeks ago) started doing this. I know for sure it did it with 1.68 and now is still doing it with 1.69. It's always occurred in the early evening (between 7 - 9 pm). I don't know if...
