    My quest to get DLNA working on the Hopper...

    I'm using TVersity on my WHS machine and I can play content just fine from the Hopper. No real need for it though because I either use my Yamaha AVR or Logitech Revue.

    When can you order?

    I used the online chat and was able to get 2 hoppers and 2 joeys for a $200 upgrade fee. I also signed up for the protection plan and the installation is free. No complaints here.

    Why is the 922 so screwed up?

    I loved the 721 receivers. I had two of them and they had a couple of features that none of the newer DVRs have even with all the stuff that was promised but not delivered. They did require a reboot now and then and those always took forever but overall they were really good to me. I also like...

    Remote bit the dust...

    If the Dish Home Protection Plan covers remote controls (and I believe it does), you can sign up for it, Dish will send you a remote for free and you can cancel as soon as you have your new remote.

    I'm no expert by any means but I think that you have to connect both outputs of the LNB to the switch.

    Ordering Dish, What do I need?

    Be aware that some people have had problems when using a ClubDish code with a local installer. They sometimes "forget" to tell DishNetwork that you are using a code. I would not let that stop me from ordering from a local installer though. The quality of the install seems to be better on average...

    Weird guide issue, missing programs

    Just to confirm what Pepper said, the guide on the 721 does show programs correctly that are less than 30 minutes. I have never tried to record them so I don't know whether that works correctly or not but at least the guide is correct. Bimmerbenz

    Upgrading to DVR on Dish is making me mad!! Help Please!

    The price you quoted for the Dish DVR is the retail price of the machine with no strings attached. If you are willing to commit to Dish Network for some time (usually 1 year), give them a call and unless you have already received a promotional upgrade from them within the last year, they will...

    Marc Lumpkin Out?

    I bet he was made the head of the Creative Wealth Restructering Department. This department was recently created to come up with new ideas of how E* can screw people out of their hard-earned cash faster than ever before in any conceivable way. Bimmerbenz

    Just got Yellow Card

    Got my yellow card last Saturday. Did anybody else notice their 721 dialing out to activate your programming with the new card? That's what mine did at least. It did not report the PPV on the 721 at that time though. I also tried my old blue card and it's still working too. All my timers and...
