Just because the curvature is different the heaters designed for direct TV seem to have enough articulation to accommodate different dish shapes. I was thinking the low power of an official heater might be more energy efficient than running 110v for 2x 100w Kat's heating pads. Maybe I can wire...

Those Kat's hot pad heaters look like a good cheap alternative. Due to the size of the dish it looks like I'd need 2 and put them either side of the mounting bracket. I'm interested in why you said not use the DTV heater? Wrong bolt pattern? It should work, it's just heat? If the whole setup...

I've been looking for a dish heater for this coming winter. I've looked online and I see quite a few that are "Direct TV" dish heaters but none for Dish Network. Is there a specific heater I should buy for my Dish Network dish? I assume the DTV heaters will work the Dish Network dishes but...

Buy an LNB off EBAY for $10 and send it back to them. They won't know it's not the one with your unit.

Could water/ice in junction box be problem? With the constant opening and closing of the junction box by the service companies it has gotten cracked and I'm not sure if it is water tight anymore. This was another complaint of the Comcast guy, that the dish network guys stuffed all their...

Not sure if grounded - look where? Where would the cable and satellite system be grounded? I assume you are meaning the shielding of the RG6 needs to be grounded through the connector somehow? Where should I look? I'm pretty sure something is happening to the modem. The cable guy says we...

So I've been having problems with my cabel internet service from Comcast recently. The comcast guy comes out on Sunday and basically is fuming at the dish network people screwing up the cable modem. I basically have cable TV, Dishnetwork (DVR 522) and a cable internet running in the house...

Thanks Thanks for the advice guys. The install guys never called back today like they promised so I'll get on the blower to them. Later Steve

Great picture BFG, Thanks, I think I've thought of an issue which I'll come back to in a minute. Let me try make sure I understand your suggestion. The signal for the 522 comes in on a diplexed line as does the 322 signal. The output from both receivers goes to the combiner (which I...

If I diplex the backfeed chanels on the same line the signal came in on, then I only need 1 new line running to each satellite? Sorry I don't undertsand the modulate option. I know there is some box called a modulator that I think takes a digital signal and makes it analogue? So I'd combine...

I've just moved house. The housing association fee's include comcast cable at a bulk discount rate and includes OLN, HBO and some movie channels. The wife (ok and I) wanted a dual tuner DVR for obvious reasons. Decided to start up a new Dish account and have both dish and cable. What is...

If what Kevin says is right then there is no difference in teh way Dish Pass operates vs New Episodes? I guess I misunderstood what Wishbone was saying in the NBR Instructions Thread! (I hope I did :) ) Steve

My question is does it only read the EPG once to set up the timers? i.e. the EPG extends out 10 days. I set up a 'New' timer today and it will schedule events out 10 days lets say to the 31st of December When the new EPG downloads tonight the EPG will go out to the 1st of January. Will the...

I've just read the NBR instruction thread and am worried about Wishbones comment regarding All Episodes vs Dish Pass and wondered if the same applied to New Episodes vs Dish Pass When I converted my weekly timers to NBR timers I just went to the guide, set up the timer and then hit new...

I have software version L165GALD-N and was told last night that version 166 (I persume) should be out later this month. Apparently it will fix the known problem I phoned tech support about last night. Basically I went away for the long weekend and found that none of the 5 or 6 timers that...

I don't think so but I'll check again I don't think it had a different name. I sorted my DVR events list by Event Date/Time and it was just not there. I also went through the list manually to see if there was anything it could be. Nothing jumped out. It is so annoying that I've missed...

So this is the first bug I've noticed in the 522. Last night was when a once only DVR Timer was set to record. I didn't notice if the red light on the unit was on, indicating a record (I was out). When I got back in to view my show I was surprised to find it was not in the DVR events menu...

If I have set up to record a show on Tuner 1 is there any way to switch the tuner to be used to tuner 2 without having to delete the event and then go to the Tuner 2 remote to reschedule the event? Cheers Steve PS What's this about Radioshack, Sirius and Dish Network forming an...

Yeah, that is a bummer however all is not lost because at least while I am recording on Tuner 1 I will be able to watch anything previously recorded on the TV connected to tuner 1. Because Ijust got my system last night I do not have a build up of recordings to view. I'm sure in time I'll have...

It doesn't auto detect which tuner is not being used I just got my 522 last night so I'm still learning it. However I found that if I set up an event to record on Tuner 1 and I want to watch something else on Tuner 1 while it is recording it will not ask me if I want to switch recording to...

Some questions and agile modulator - what does this mean? In the review it says "The agile modulator transmitted what sounded like very good stereo sound. While I was happy with the sound I was not happy that the agile modulator was not as agile as I thought it would be. In TV out mode you...
