    522 and back-to-back recordings

    Does anyone know if the 522 will allow you to "que up" more than one program to watch? Here's my dilema... I have several 1/2 hour kids shows recorded, and my little one wants to watch two of them back-to-back. However, when the first one is over, I have to go to the kid's room and start...

    "physically going to TV 2 to set the recording"...actually going to the other television that the 522 uses and set up the recording.

    Sounds like your box hasn't been hit with the latest software yet. I got my 522 about a month ago, and it took about 2 weeks before I could use single mode. Until you get it, your only option to record a program while watching another is to set it to record on TV 2 using either recordplus or...

    Newbie 522 ?'s

    What version of software do you have on your 522? Single mode has only become available with recent software upgrades. Does your PiP work?

    Newbie 522 ?'s

    If you are in single mode and you start recording, simply hit "swap" on your remote to switch to the other tuner. If you are in dual mode, you can set the recording on the 2nd tv and watch the first tv. Also, I believe you can go into the recordplus option and set up the 522 to automatically...

    Using PiP?

    The only thing that stinks about this is that you have to go to the box to switch to single mode instead of having a remote option. Other than that, PiP is great on the 522! (I can't help it...I'm just lazy!)

    Intermittent satellite loss...

    110 & 119 are consistently around 100, but the 105 is showing a 35. Is 35 normal for this sat? I've been told that the 105 has a lower signal strength, but 35?

    522 problem...

    What were the results of the check switch? Also, have you tried doing a hard reset? I lost locals on my 522 once, but they came back after the hard reset.

    Intermittent satellite loss...

    I'd be suprised if it was a tree branch. I have a great line-of-sight, and the dish stands well above any trees (it's mounted on the roof of my house). I believe that signal strength is OK, but I haven't checked it in a while.

    Intermittent satellite loss...

    About 1-2 times a day, I get the screen that shows the receivers are "searching for satellite signal". I've seen it happen on both of my receivers (322/522). Do any of you experience this? It happens even on clear days, and takes about 2-3 minutes for the signal to come back. Could this have...

    Newbie with questions :)

    First of all, the 522 has a few bugs. Once you realize this fact and understand the limitations, then you will enjoy it (you can find numerous discussions about this in the 522 forum). I have two kids, and they like to watch Barney, Blue's Clues, Wiggles, etc. Before the DVR, I would have...

    Newbie with questions :)

    Just signed up for DHA myself. I have the 522/322 receivers, and subscribe to the top 120 package (no movie channels or any extras). I started service on 8/24/04 (signed up on 8/20/04). Below, you can see my actual statement information. As you can see, they zap you with the credit card...

    Sat 105 unavailable on 522/322

    Both receivers have locals as of this morning. I did a switch test this morning on the 522, and it finally recognized all three sats. I wonder if this had anything to do with the new software download for the 522? I noticed that my software version changed between last night and this morning...

    Sat 105 unavailable on 522/322

    Update: OK...I woke up this morning, and tested the switch on the 322 receiver. Suddenly, I'm able to connect to the 105 sat, and have locals on this receiver! So I go and test the 522, and still have no luck getting locals. Now I have locals on 1/2 of my system. Hopefully, the 522 will...

    Sat 105 unavailable on 522/322

    OK...I just got off the phone with my installer. They said that there is a problem with the satellite configuration for the 105 sat. in my area. I'm not sure that I believe this, so I call E* and they agreed that this is "probably" the issue with my locals, and to wait it out 24-48 hours to...

    Actually, Iceberg, I did this procedure several times last night (I think I have this procedure burned into my head :). I changed it to 23, and that's where I get the 0 strength. If I look at TP 22, I show the strength to be 52. The installer actually told me to keep checking the switches...

    Sat 105 unavailable on 522/322

    Yes, and with both receivers having the same issue, I tend to think that the installer was wrong with his assessment that it is a receiver problem. Hopefully, tweaking the dish is the easy fix to this problem.

    Sat 105 unavailable on 522/322

    I'm hoping that will do it. However, I'm a bit concerned that the transponder I'm supposed to be using has 0 signal strength (actually, I think it says it's locked. I'm currently at work, so I'm not sure what the actual message is). If the installer is not willing/able to tweak the dish, are...

    Hi Folks. Newbie here. Just had E* installed yesterday. Got the DHA package, with a superdish, plus 522/322 receivers. I'm receiving all my channels except for the locals. My locals are on sat 105, but neither receiver can get a connection to it. The installer worked on it a little, but...
