    DTV Message About Satellite

    That would be too easy - no, there isn't! Again, after I unplug the receiver (Tivo/satellite receiver) and plug it in again - the problem goes away. I would assume if there were blockage then unplugging it wouldn't mean a thing.

    DTV Message About Satellite

    OK - I am admittedly a novice at this - how would I know if I have a multiswitch (I know I do have the capability of looking at three different satellites). And, if that is the problem how do I repair it? Thanks

    DTV Message About Satellite

    I have had DirecTV for over two years - I use it with my Tivo - never had a problem until recently when I started receiving a message "Can't Find Satellite 1 or 2" (separate messages). I unplug the receiver and the message goes away - just wondering what is going on. The dish has not been...

    Help: Should I or Shouldn't I???

    I think you all have convinced me to wait this out a bit longer - $5 (or even $10) savings is not a sufficient savings based on the problems some are having with the 522. Perhaps by the end of the year this murky picture will become clearer.

    Help: Should I or Shouldn't I???

    I have the Directv tivo - I purchased mine a little over a year ago and I get 35 hours worth of programming. I also do pay for one additional outlet. For their total choice package with HBO and local channels and using the Tivo and one additional outlet - I am paying $62! For that reason and...

    Help: Should I or Shouldn't I???

    So bottom line: is there any difference between the recording and playback(both video and audio) in the 522 compared to the Directv Tivo?

    Help: Should I or Shouldn't I???

    Ok - based on what you guys are stating - perhaps it isn't as sophisticated as Tivo - and perhaps many have been frustrated getting to this point because of the constant updating of the software - however for someone new coming in now there doesn't seem to be material differences between the 522...

    Help: Should I or Shouldn't I???

    While I use the season pass on Tivo - that wouldn't stop me as I could set the recorder on a weekly basis. Here's what I like most about Tivo and if the 522 can do the same then it would be an even match (and probably a bonus with the 522 since it can hold much more than the 35 hours my Tivo...

    Help: Should I or Shouldn't I???

    My logic for switching from Directv to Dish - besides the savings of $5 monthly (for what appears to be similar programming) - is there are a few additional HBO stations (and yes I do speak Spanish but that would not be the reason I switched) including HBO comedy and I would gain a few movie...

    Help: Should I or Shouldn't I???

    The DVR from Dish is part of the promotion - whether I am with Directv or Dish I would have to pay 4.99 a month - so that is even. I get Sirus music channels with Dish and that doesn't come with directv - I get more movie channels with dish and bottom line is I am getting a $5 discount from...

    Help: Should I or Shouldn't I???

    I am in the process of switching from Directv to Dish - based on the fact that I can get a $5 discount from Sprint and there appears to be about ten more movie channels in which the end result will cost ne about $2 more (than Directv) - this is taking advantage of the Dish latest offer which...
