522 Question

[bpasker8]

Can you record two things at once with a 522? I know it is two tuners, so that would allow recording one program and watching a different program at once, just not clear on being able to record two programs at once.

 

[TuxCoder]

yes

Dish just told me they had none available, did they stop leasing these? Or are they just under stocked?

As an existing customer the 522 is not yet available to you. (from dish) You may be able to buy one from ebay. Make sure it is new in box. You can check with ceo@echostar.com about activation, etc.

Just to clarify the answer so you know what you're getting. You can record two shows at once, but you have to be watching one of them. In other words, you cannot record two shows and watch another LIVE show. You can record two different shows and watch a third previously recorded show on either or both TV1 and TV2.

More clarification -- you can record two different shows and watch two different recordings all at the same time. But don't be surprized if you get a lot of audio hickups and picture freezes.
