    Olympics - On Demand

    I am getting constant drops. Using wireless. I've never had any luck with PQ streaming from Dish. Roku sits right beside it and works great. Using a netgear wireless-n dual band adapter

    Anybody else noticed an increase in Upgrade work orders?

    That's funny......I'm in the process of upgrading for ongoing 722 issues....I think. Waiting to hear back from DIRT now. Thanks very much for this interesting post.

    Are 722's obsolete?

    That would be a net positive if any OTA signals were available. But there are none.

    Is there any logical reason that Dish charges a $7 DVR fee for a 722 as opposed to $14 for a Hopper?

    I've thought some about the 211, it does not have dual tuner capability. Is the Hopper a dependable machine is it also bug prone?

    I've got a 211 in a box somewhere. I like EHD's for archiving, but found the 211 interface slow and clunky. Thanks.

    The best Dish receiver I have owned thus far has been the 722. It seems that the lifespan of these recycled receivers is falling fast. My last one made it six months, they sent out a replacement a week ago and it has already crashed twice. I only use one TV and it seems for some reason Dish...

    Anyone noticed that getting Blockbuster disks at home has suddenly slowed to a crawl?

    It's been a month since I received a disc also and I have seven in my queue...guess they must be going out of business...it is a poor way to treat your customers

    Blockbuster now on Roku

    I am following the thread, your reply was to my post. Personally, I would also like to see Roku Blockbuster streaming linked with BB at Home, of which I am a subscriber. It would be a win-win for Dish and their subscribers if they could eliminate a large percentage of their DVD mailings

    What presumptions? What on earth are you talking about? I posted this for informational purposes since Dish gave away who knows how many Rokus...but it was a bunch
