    I got my three smart cards yesterday and all installed without a problem........
    BUT.......now my older 211 which was previously activated for an external hard drive now says I must call the Dish number to activate the receiver for EH/DVR to function. Dang it. I just hate to call Dish Network..........always a hassle..........

    Does anybody have a date as to when they will stop mailing smart cards? End of December, end of January?

    Also, what happens if you receive your smart cards and then add a receiver to your account that doesn't have a new smart card? Do you have to pay for a smart card mail to you? Or will they send it to you for free?

    Good question... I have two old 50x receivers that might get pushed back into service if one of my current batch dies....
    Are we there yet?

    In the last analyst's call, Charlie alluded to a schedule that might not complete 100 percent until next November but with some programming packages making conversion within the next month or two (a phased conversion) .

    I still haven't received new cards, but I haven't received any nag screens either, so I'm not worried about it. My 722 possibly had a new card when I received it not too long ago, but I've had the 622 since February 2006, so I know it will need a new card.
