    522 stops responding

    Just keeps getting worse. Today, I find out that not only it froze but deleted all my recordings and timers. Woohoo. Though Dish did send me a new receiver so I can set that up tomorrow and hope this one doesn't get messed up. If it does, Comcast, here I come.

    522 stops responding

    Update: I kept the receiver on. After around 18 hours of normal operation, the thing froze! The last image of the running program showed up on screen. No response to anything else. Soft reboot from remote didn't work. Soft reboot from the box worked but after it turned on nothing happened...

    I had a chat with SBC Dish customer support. Initially they said reproduce this and call us while it's not running. Then I asked if this was a known problem and suddenly I'm told they will send another unit in warranty.

    522 stops responding

    This has happened for the 3rd day in succession. I turn my 522 off (not unplug it) at night and when I go to work. When I return I find out that I can't turn it on. The dish screen saver is on but it does not respond to anything, including the buttons on the box itself. I unplug it and plug it...

    Home cabling question

    Dish Pass and Program guide problems

    Thanks for the suggestions. I unplugged for a minute and started again. No luck. Still the local channels (2-11..probably more between 2-100) only have one hour worth of program info. As the next program starts same holds true. So it only knows about one hour further. On the Dish pass...

    Dish Pass and Program guide problems

    Received my 522 yesterday and have been happy for the most part. I am seeing two problems. The Dish Pass search returns channels that I don't subscribe to. I confirmed that when I see the 'all sub' program guide, those channels don't show up but dish pass still gets those events and tries to...
