I Just got a 922 Yesterday (Monday Sept 5th)
I have been trained over the years to turn off the DVR at night (press the power button to turn the lights off the front for TV1 and TV2)

Now, each time I attempt to access my Sling on the 922, it turns on the TV2 lights, and doesn't turn them off. So, now my mildly OCD self has to go down to the basement each night to turn off the TV2 so the lights aren't on. I am annoyed by this.
Am I being overly ...retentive on this? Do I need to turn that off for it to do it's nightly check?

<begin rant> There are SO many things I cannot believe Dish allowed in this unit. No Dishpass? No manual timers? No auto-tune option when selecting a future show? Good grief. It's like they chose to not use any ideas from the old system, even if they were great features. If someone had told me that these options were missing prior to purchasing it, I wouldn't thought they were surely mistaken. No way would Dish eliminate foundational options like that! </end rant>
 
On my 722 and 722k I never hit the power button unless it is off and I want to watch it. Doesn't really turn it off anyways so I never bothered. No issues to report.
 
True, I've got it to do autotune, but I've had to select the show, then go find the timer, and edit it to get to the option of auto-tune.
It's just way too many steps when it used to just take one screen.
 
You can set auto tune when you create the timer. You don't need to go back and edit.
