Okay, here is a newbie question about the 522 program guide. I've only had the Dish Network and the 522 for a week now. I switched from DirectTV and was very familiar with their guide. Occasionally, with DirectTV, the program guide would show "unavailable" for a few seconds, but then the program information would fill in and become available. With the 522, no matter how much I wait, the program titles will not show up. Most channels are fine, but for example, on the Midwest Fox Sports Network channel I receive in St. Louis, I can't select the ballgame to record even when its only an hour or two away. I've been having to select the "block of time" it gives me (like 7 p.m. to 1 a.m). This sortof defeats the purpose of "click on program and record". The same thing happens on a couple other stations, even a local station.
Does the Dish Network send out the program guide differently from DirectTV. Perhaps someone could explain how it is done, then I could look for a solution to this. The tech at the help line said I should reboot my machine. Is this the correct thing to do? Doesn't seem that I should have to reboot just to get the program guide to fill in only a few channels. I DO turn off the tuners every night.
Any thoughts, anyone?
