Poll, Do you have your NEW smartcards yet?

**Minac** · 11-22-2008 08:52 PM

Finally got my cards today for my two 622's. My newer one took me less than 10 minutes, the older one about 30 minutes, mostly waiting while it downloaded the guide. Maybe the hard drive is beginning to ask for help?

Overall it was easy...

Well now, how do I change my vote now as my new cards arrived yesterday and I installed them a couple of hours ago?

It took just about 5 minutes for both my 211 and 722 to complete the process even though somewhere along the way I saw a screen that said it may take up to 30 minutes. It was very easy.

Edit/Update: I just went back to see the earlier posts to see point about a new poll to be posted in early December. Then we will find out how many have them at that point.

The gap is narrowing. I still haven't received my cards but I'm hoping they will continue to mail them in December.

Update: A previos poster said they were being mailed to your billing address. Not necessarily: Dish mailed mine to my service address. Just an FYI...

I voted No at the start of this thread. But I finally received the new smart card today. after THREE reboots it finally came back without the "If you see this too long hold down the power button for 10 seconds..." message

BTW I didn't get any prior notification. And they do look kind of like the dummy plastic credit cards used in solicitations, that I usually toss in the tool box to use for spreading caulk etc.

p.s. yes I did wait quite a bit after seeing the error screen before pressing the power button

Moderator, please close this poll for me. It seems to have developed a life of its own. Seems like a fifty/fifty new cards ratio.

If I start a new one. I will put an expiration date on it.

It is 50/50 because those of us who said we had not received our cards cannot change our response when they are received.

December 1st would be a good time to close it and start a new one lasting for the month.

Besides, I just wanted it bold again..
