    522...is anybody happy with theirs?

    I have had the 522 and 322 since 8/22 and love them both. I have had hardly any problems at all and record daily.

    Very happy with my 522!

    I got mine on 8/25 and agree with you haggar67. I record daily and have had hardly any problems at all. I also went to direct for a very short time before that (after being with dish since 98) and did not like direct at all.

    522 L2.06 Release Notes

    Never any audio dropouts before the upgrade, and none now.

    I want the 522 but worried...

    This is exactly right, people are less likely to search out a forum to share if something works properly. I had directivo before the 522 and I like the 522 much better. I have had mine since 8/25 and have had no problems with hiccups and glitches others have had. I had video sync problems ONE...

    Cancelling my DVR 522? Contract?

    Exactly. I signed up through dish and have no contract at all. They try to tell you that it's better to sign u plocally, but it's not.

    Compare DirectTivo and Dish 522 Dvr

    I have had both and prefer the 522. First off I have had mine since 8/25 and have not had the problems others have had. I had voice sync problems one day and that's about all. For some reason everything I started that day was off, but just that day. I had the directivo and never did like it...

    I like my 522

    I just thought I would update this thread since I have had the 522 for exactly 4 weeks now. I did notice something one day probably about a week and a half ago the sync was off on my recordings when I would start them. I would then have to stop and restart and they would be good. This...

    522 audio/video freezes - common factors?

    Dish Network Reactivation

    Now for the topic. I cut my dish service a few months ago and switched to Direct tv. I switched back to dish a week ago and they right away offered me the 522 with 322, 49.99 down that was applied to my first bill (just got it), no connection fee, no contract, 5.00 for dvr which is what I was...

    Dish Network Reactivation

    What branch of the military did you serve in? I am a Vietnam era veteran with 11 years active duty I take offence at insinuations that someone that did a tour in the National Guard did anything wrong. I go to a lot of veterans forums and by far most veterans feel the same. Now Clinton...

    I like my 522

    I just thought I would update since tomorrow morinig will be a week since I got the 522. I still like it MUCH better than the tivo I had, I still have had no bugs whatsoever that I have noticed. No audio problems playback or otherwise, pasing then restarting, or rewinding and playing. I just...

    My 522 with L2.04GALD-N

    I wonder why mine's not doing it. I can pause or rewind mine and it does not skip at all. No audio dropouts, no problem rewinding. Mine is newer than most, so I wonder if they are doing something different mechanically also.

    And a way we go!! L2.04

    Yea, I just tried it and saw the others using "page down". I was trying to use the left button to go over to the arrows. It dowsn't work like that.

    caller id dvr 522

    I would thing that anyone that does not care for caller ID could just disable it. I personally like it.

    That's another thing, my fan pretty much never runs.

    Optical.

    And a way we go!! L2.04

    OK. I tried to move over there with the "left" button and It wouldn't let me, so I thought that was it. Didn't try the page up or down buttons, Duh.:)

    And a way we go!! L2.04

    Odd, I have the L204 softwase and only have 6 items instead of 12.

    My 522 with L2.04GALD-N

    I feel lucky. I've had no hiccuping, or sound problems at all. I've recorded a number of things and watched them in the last few days. I have the same software version.

    I like my 522

    When you are watching a program hit record. You will see a button that says "options". Hit it and you should see it.

    Two days now, but I'll let you know that in a week right here. We never did like direct tv, so I am prepared to accept some bugs until they get them worked out. If it starts to irritate me I will post in his thread. I don't think I had replay tv though, I don't know that that is, unless it's...

    Exactly. You just stated it better than I did, thanks. I also was not trying to bash directivo, just point out differences in a thread where the 522 has deservedly caught hell. If I had been one of the first owners of the 522 I would probably feel the same way, as It stands I seem to have...

    Didn't I pretty much say that in my post? Did you read this?: "The complaints on the 522 have been VERY valid I'm sure. I just got mine yesterday so I did not go though the buggier stages like you guys did, keep in mind I'm just starting out and I'm in NO WAY trying to minimize they problems...

    I like my 522

    I'm not sure what I did the first time (brain fart I guress) but I checked it again and indeed you can hit "record entire event". My mistake, now there was nothing I preferred about the tivo. I just noticed mine updated to the 2.04 update last night.
