I got my new Media Center 2005 PC today. I'll post a review in a few weeks. For anyone considering a 522, do you SEE all the problems it has and always has had over the past year! Instead of fixing things, they break more. Along with new features come new bugs that cause hard drive...

After this newest update I also lost all my shows and timers :(

This is why I'm leaving Dish. A few weeks ago with one of the software updates all my shows were deleted.

DON'T DO IT MAN, DON'T! I did the same thing as you 5 months ago. I had my series 2 Tivo for over a year with Cable, no problems, LOVED it. But, I was tempted by the "free" 522 with dual tuners for recording 2 things at once. What can I tell you except that it has been nothing but a...

It's good to see I'm not the only one who's going to switch/has switched to D*. Last weekend my Dish Network DVR 522 dumped all my recordings. Needless to say, it was the straw that broke the camels back. Right now I'm trying to decide between switching to DirecTivo or just getting a Windows...

I want to, and right now there is a 75% chance of me doing so. The only thing holding me back is it cost a little more per month, plus I'll need 2 receivers. Son won't be able to use the Tivo features in a different room (but I'm ok with that actually). Right now I'm thinking about...

Good tip. You're right, totally forgot about the feature.

Well, I got off the phone with Customer support and ultimately they said that I will have to replace my unit because I have a bad hard drive :rolleyes: BS, and that's what I told them. I'll explain in more detail the lines they were trying to feed me. I did try to power down the unit per...

Welp, it finally happened. Came home tonight, and during dinner my son says "Dad, what happened to all of the shows that we recorded?" What's that? I wanted to pretend I didn't hear him. My fiance was none too pleased after all the problems we've been having with some of her shows not...

Need to add to this list. The audio on some of my recordings from this week kept becoming out of sync with the video last night. It was really annoying.

I actually first noticed this problem just yesterday, but it was from recordings that happened sometime this week. Add this to my list of problems that I've noticed since the last update, hell, since I got the 522 3 months ago *sigh*

In the Guide you can do this by pressing the guide button when the guide is already up, but I understand what you're talking about because there doesn't appear to be a way to not display filtered results in the search results area. It's really rather annoying.

Okay, I've finally nailed down exactly when some of my issues are happening and they are actually reproducable. Other problems seem to only have just appeared in the past 2 weeks, so I'm assuming the 2.05 update is the cause of the issue. Anyway, here are my issues. 1) When recording 2...

In that Chat with Charlie show (the CEO of Dishnetwork) someone called in and asked about when they could get some new features. The features were found in the 522 receiver, so Charlie mentioned that. He admitted that the current customers were having some issues, and they were trying to work...

I came home to the switch error one day, told me I needed to run some test or something. I just hit the cancel button and I've been ok since then.

This has happened to me like 3 times in the past 2 weeks. It's annoying as hell. This is when it has happened to me. When I'm watching a previously recorded show and I press the guide button, the DVR restarts. 2 shows were recording. I can remember because after it restarted it restarted...

It doesn't sound like they fixed a damn thing ... again :confused:

I'm always using Tuner 2, with Tuner 1 as my default record plus tuner. If there is a conflict (sometimes there doesn't even need to be a conflict) I get the option on which tuner I want to record to. I don't really use Tuner 1, so I'm not sure if the conflict manager is broken or not.

I definitely notice that you can't watch Live TV in a buffered state. I mean, as long as LiveTV is playing LIVE, it's ok. But if you pause it or rewind it, when you start to watch it again it skips beyond enjoyment. You have to fast forward it back to actual Live TV in order for it to work...

Well, I noticed some bugs that you mentioned, BUT, I did notice that playback of recorded shows was better, less skipping. They were there, but infrequent and almost unnoticable if you weren't looking for them. Live TV is totally jacked when you rewind it and are viewing the "cached" video...

Just curious, does audio drop when Tuner 2 is ON. I have an odd configuration (well, not that odd but whatever). Tuner 2 is actually what I use in my living room so it's my main tuner. Tuner 2 was in fact on AND recording when I was playing back my shows on Tuner 2. I didn't notice...

Yup, you're right, I should learn to read :p

Well, they figured that you wouldn't have 2 TV's in the same room, and that the second tuner would be in a "secondary" location. Do you have 2 rooms full of A/V equipment that would both require your all-in-one super remote? If so, I'd say you're in the minority. I'm really not seeing where...

Has anyone else noticed anything different with the new update? So far I've noticed the following, besides what I mentioned above... 1) If I'm watching a recorded show, and press stop, it stops the show and takes me to the menu where I have the option of restarting the show, deleting it...

THe UHF remote actually does have an IR tuner though, it just doesn't control the 522 by default. It has IR because IR is needed to manipulate the TV itself.
