Hi,

I've got a 522 and use it in dual mode between 2 sets. On set #2, I'll be watching a program and suddently the screen acts as if the info button was pressed and the synopsis of the current program is displayed. I'm sure a button isn't being pressed. Other neighbors have Dish Network also. Could a button they are pressing be registering on my reciever? Does this happen to anyone else?

Also, what's the green R button on the 522 remotes?

Also, when I subscribed with that 4 rooms no cost promotion, and I have 3 sets. Should they have given me (2) 522's and (1) 310 or were they right to give me (1) 522 split between 2 sets and (1) 310 on 2 set.

Thanks!

Set #2 is UHF and is controllable up to 200 feet so thats probably why its being changed channels. Your probably changing his channels and functions too. You may want to talk to him and ask him if his is doing some weird things on tuner 2 as well.

You can change your remote address to solve the problem. Go to the system information screen by pressing >MENU >6 >1 >3 then hold down the >SAT mode button until all of the other remote buttons light up. After that enter in a number such as 5 into the remote while the SAT mode button at the top is flashing. Then press the ># button at the bottom and the SAT mode button should flash three times. Press the red >RECORD button. Look at the system info screen to see if the remote address listed has changed to the number you have entered.

The gree R button is a reset button which is there in case you press some wrong buttons and your tv channel gets on the wrong channel and so forth and you cant get things back to channel 3 and so forth to watch tv again.

If you signed up for four rooms unter the DHA promotion for $50 upfront and $50 off your first bill then you should have been given (1) 522 as you obviously appear to have that contains two tuners for two tv's and (1) 322 receiver which has two tuners as well for two tv outputs. The 311 only has one tv output so if they gave you a 311 instead of a 322 then they messed up and gave you the wrong receiver. Call the company you got the system from and tell them the situation. If it has been longer than three days since activation/installation then your out of luck unless you contact ceo@dishnetwork.com to tell them that the company you bought the system from made a mistake and you are out of your 3 day grace period for exchanging for a different receiver. Do NOT email ceo@dishnetwork about the issue unless you have contacted the original retailer you have went through without any success.

Might switch back in March to Dish Network and do they install DP44 switches with that adapter to new installations. I will have duel tuning and 3 single tuning install.

I dont think they use DPP44 switches in most installed yet. They also have a new DPP LNB that does that same thing as the switch ( I do believe).

Thanks

Thanks for the help. The info box only pops up on the odd occasion. I printed out your answer and will give it a go if it becomes a problem.

I signed up for 3 rooms, so that cleared up my question regarding the 522. Just wanted to make sure the deal meant splitting it between 2 rooms. I love being able to use the DVR on 2 TV's at once.

I love the whole system. Way better than Adelphia digital cable.

My next purchase is for a DVD Recorder. Then the 522 will make the VCR useless.

The 522 is meant for two seperate rooms to watch two different things at the same time with DVR functionality in both of those rooms while the 311 is just mean for one room.

Sometimes a thread gets so many posts in it that is can cause issues for the server so that why today we introduce The Song Name Game Part 3!

So let the game continue!

The last song was added by Bobby who posted...

One Meat Ball - Andrews Sisters

CONTINUE ON AND HAVE FUN! WELCOME HOME TO SATELLITEGUYS.US!

Here are the original rules for the game as posted by WebbyDude back in 2006. http://www.satelliteguys.us/threads/68645-Song-Name-Game

Just name a song title and the band who performed it. The next person does the same thing, but needs to list a song title or band name which includes a word from the previous entry. Pick songs from any genre.

Example:

Long Live Rock and Roll -- Rainbow

Rainbow in the Dark -- Dio

Another example:

Ride the Lightning -- Metallica

Lightning Strikes -- Ozzy Osbourne


Get it?


An additional note: we all know that song titles, sometimes, use profane words. Because this is a family friendly website it is advised that you clean up that title up a bit. This is accomplished by using something like sh!t instead of the real word. Thanks....

Finished season 3 last night. Still one of my favorite shows.

Anyone else wonder if there might be something else going on with Callum? Seems to me he has too much access to Russian intelligence.

Great ending, but it ran in circles most of the season.

Over the past few weeks, I have had problems connecting to streaming services (Netflix, HBO et al). When I go to the TV's native Channels, I have no problem. The Dish internet troubleshooter shows I have a good internet connection. I'm wondering whether it's an issue with my internet provider or a problem with the Dish software on the Hopper Plus. Anyone else seeing this?

I have a DISH Hopper 3 (Software H713) with Hopper Plus (Software P15403). I have not tried streaming services but I primarily watch TVB Jadeworld international package which is only available by streaming and when I have an issue, I usually have to go to a non-streaming satellite channel first before the streaming channels will work again. What software versions do you have and what is the error message if any are showing on your screen? or is that Dish downloading logo just stuck and never finishes?

I'm on H713 on the Hopper and P15403 on the Hopper Plus. It shows internet connection issues and doesn't finish loading the various services. I see the "loading circle going around. Sometimes I get a message saying that the service is having trouble loading my content and to check the internet connection.

Did it ever work correctly before? Hard to say what the problem is. Usually for streaming, it will show the Dish logo with lines sweeping down to show downloading, never seen the circle issue. Did you try a manual reboot, red button reset, power cord unplug/replug to see if it makes a difference.

Might be worth just to ditch the hopper plus. No issues here on h713

Buy a roku and dump the hopper plus you'll be better off. If you have a smart tv you don't need either one. No hopper plus here and no issues!!!
