    Condition of returned lease remotes

    I'm probably going to be quitting Dish soon. Two of the remotes I have (a 522 IR and a 301) have some dog-chewing marks on them. They work perfectly. If I return these to Dish, are they going to charge me for the damage? If so, how much? I want to know if it's worth it to pick up some cheap...

    My 522 Hates Desperate Housewives

    Another victim here, except I'm having the problem with Grey's Anatomy. I'm not keen to recreate all my timers, but if it happens one more week, I'll be giving that a try.

    Dish Network Website Wins Award

    They don't deserve any awards until I can type "dishnetwork.com" (i.e. without the "www) into my browser and get there. Jeez, that's webmaster/DNS 101. :rolleyes:

    A very sad day for me

    You can't give up that easily! Chances are that 90% of the people in your HOA don't care about dishes, and it's just one nazi on the board that put that rule in. Put up your dish, and when the HOA representative complains, show the OTARD information.

    L2.38 Software Update for Model 625

    Wow. Another version. I'm guessing they are fixing bugs introduced the last release. I'm going to make an open suggestion to anyone from E* that might be reading. Establish a set group of beta testers so you can find these bugs before wide release. I'm sure you could get a decent size...

    Just got a 522 some quick questions..

    :confused: Do you mean the buffers before and after the event? Good questions that only Dish can answer.

    522 L2.36 Release Notes

    I actually prefer it that way. When it does the recording with one tuner (such as when the other tuner is tied up on another channel) you end up with the end of one show on next show's recording or vice versa. I don't really care that it recorded 3 minutes of the same thing. It's not that big...

    522 Comprehensive Bug List and Feature Wish List

    This appears to be fixed in L2.36. Edit: Nevermind. I just noticed you never added this to the page. [insert whiny temper-tantrum here] ;)

    522 Comprehensive Bug List and Feature Wish List

    Another bug I've noticed: The Schedule page doesn't show all skipped events. It shows some, but not all. I especially notice this on Wednesday nights. I had both West Wing and Alias recording from 9-10 and Good Eats from 10-10:30. The problem is that Alias usually runs past its scheduled...

    FROM DISH: New 942 Information

    You keep saying that the $250 is a fee for the privilege of renting the 942. DHA is a lease program. You wouldn't be renting at all. You are making a down payment on a lease.

    FROM DISH: New 942 Information

    If you knew anything about sales or financing in general, you would know that "lease != rent." :rolleyes: The $250 is a down payment on the lease of the 942. Is it any surprise to anyone that E* needs more than $5/month for a 942 to make the deal fiscally sound for them?

    2.33???

    I haven't noticed any more or less audio dropouts with 2.33, but I have noticed that they are no longer followed by a video glitch. I guess that's a small improvement.

    FROM DISH: New 942 Information

    I see the "upgrade fee" as being analogous to the down payment you put down to lease a car. Without the "upgrade fee" the lease payment would have to be much higher. What's the big deal?

    How to output 2 different channels (PIP) from a single receiver like the 921?

    The 522, 921, and 721 have PIP built in. You don't need to use the TV's PIP function at all. Actually, it would be a huge hassle to use the TV's PIP. I have a 522 and the PIP on my TV sits unused.

    Dish Pass for new eps only?

    You are. :) "All/New" will catch those time slot changes just fine. The only thing it wouldn't catch was if the show moved to a different channel, but I can really think of an example of that happening.

    Dish Pass for new eps only?

    I'm trying to understand why you would want this. The difference between a "All/New Episodes" recording and a Dish Pass is that the Dish Pass will look for that show on all channels where the other will only look on one. "New episodes" will only happen on a certain channel, so the first type...

    522 and Caller ID

    For me, Caller ID is intermittant. Yet another software issue, I suppose.

    522 newbie questions

    As mentioned, you can use the 522's native PIP to do that in single mode. Just swap the 522 in one-for-one with one of your existing receivers. I was in the exact same situation and was able to get one. Here is a link to a post where I described what I did.

    So I guess NBR *DOES NOT* extend time if a show runs over.

    How exactly is the NBR software supposed to divine when the football game ended? The 522 and NBR have their faults, but you can't expect it to be magic.

    How far can you run RCA cables?

    But that won't make the TV1 remote that comes with the 522/322 into a UHF remote. It is IR only. You will have to get an extra UHF "TV2" remote. Then you can flip the key and make it work on TV1.

    How far can you run RCA cables?

    OK. I understand now about the remotes now. There is a huge difference in picture quality between AV and coax. Plus, as noted above, on a 322 there is no way to get stereo over coax. That right there would kill it for me.

    How far can you run RCA cables?

    Wait a second. You are planning to put a 322 in a closet? How will you get the TV1 IR remote signal to the receiver? Only the TV2 remote is UHF.

    Price Increases for Dish on 2/1/2005

    Actually, right now I get a 404. I think the Dish webmasters are the same morons who program the receivers. Ever notice that http://dishnetwork.com doesn't work? Jeez, that's Webmaster 101. Are you sure you have AT180 and not AT120? $50 for that is a super sweet deal that you'd be lucky to...

    Two Timer problems?

    See this thread. There is some kind of problem related to the new year. Delete and re-create the timer, and it will be fixed.
