Seems they are certainly aware and claim to monitor the forums:
I am taking this time to inform you of the ongoing (and oft reported on various internet forums) issues of video freezing and audio dropouts on my 522 receiver. I will not get into the issues of my 811 receiver as the 522 is more serious of the 2 now.
I am getting incredibly frequent audio dropouts as well as random video freezes, especially when playing back a pre recorded show.
I can assure you my signal levels are fine and their is absolutely NO problem with any of my other home theater hardware. I have already swapped optical cables with my 811 and have not experienced NY audio dropouts with it over a 3 day period.
You can visit ANY of the various Internet Forums that deal with Sat. Television to find MANY with these issues and the 522 receiver.
The issues were minor before the 2 most recent software updates, but now they are unbearable.
I do hope a resolution is in the works and in the very near future, otherwise, I will have to find another provider for my AEP + HD + locals package who has more stable hardware.
Thank you,
