522 sync issues on LIVE TV ?

[N7OR]

The last 2 days I have been having audio/video sync issues while watching LIVE tv. Not always on the same channel. A full hard reboot did not help. Sometimes a skip back does fix it. A skip forward or a view tv command to get back to live tv will put it right out of sync again. This is a 1 week old 522, and we never noticed this the first week. An archive search shows that this happens to alot of people while watching a recording, but this is ridiculous. This is on tuner 1, with tuner 2 turned off and nothing recording. Is this a new 522 issue, or common?

I've had my 522 since mid January, and have the same problem, so it is common. There was supposed to be a software fix last month, but the L233 didn't do it. While using the skip back button will often help, any burp in the transmission means having to do it over. This isn't what I was promised or expected, and I wouldn't recommend Dish Net until they really fix it.

I've now had my 522 for a total of 5 hours and it's already done this. I was watching Monster Garage and it was freaking out. The sound was waaayyyy out of sync. Ah well, it's only till November and then I ditch Dish.

I just started seeing this on my 322 as well, which is basically a 522 without the recording.

15 months and little progress has been made on sync/pixellation issues.

If they would put as much effort into fixing old issues as they do creating new features for 'Dish Home' and interactive shopping at 'Sharper Image' we would have a top of the line DVR.

DOn't forget that you are never really watching 'live' TV with a PVR. You are always watching the PVR output...this allows the buffer to pause, rew, etc.

This might explain why I sometimes get recordings that skipping back/forward doesn't fix the sync problem. The transmission must have the audio out of sync.
