Who do you think will believe that a DVR is a "service", its not. Thats like going to Walmart and buying a VCR or a DVD player/recorder and paying Walmart $6 a month to use YOUR player/recorder at home....

My replacement vip211 works fine so far with the software that was "out of the box" and also works fine with the new software that was loaded on with activation..... Its internal hardware failure, nothing more.

Every receiver they sell is junk...

Im not waiting anymore , I got another one coming this is BS,, AND I have to pay for the shipping ??? $14.95 what kind of BS is this??? This will be the last damn shipping ( if I do) that I will pay.....for junk crap., DISH SUCKS!!!!

Dont worry they will transfer the cost back to the customer....untill they run themselves out of business

I voted im on my first receiver, my hdmi worked when I first received the 211 in june 2006, then on november 23 it just quit. I would like to know why ? I do not believe it was the port that broke because my receiver was on the lowest shelf and there was no pressure on the connection...

The tech that hooked up my d1000 was too lazy to hook up a phone line to one of my rooms.... his quote was "you dont really need to have it hooked up"

Well said , Scott. This is exactly how I feel too, I got my dish years ago before they were giving them away to *new customers. My cable bill went to $30 back in 1991 or whenever , so I went out and paid $500 for the dish and was happy for a while. Now "betrayed and abandoned" is a very good...

You would think if this 38 million is going toward what you say , then I would be able to get the HD receiver that has a WORKING HDMI output!!, but I dont , and im still currently paying the $80+ per month without a resolution. So the R&D department needs a little more of that cut.

Roger that... I just wondered because I think I rembered that you could put just about anything in the old ps2's ... even though they didnt do much good unless u switched back and forth from ur pc.

Thats what I thought the answer might be ... wasnt there a BIG tea party in boston a while back because of this sort of thing?

Thats because the second buyers were re-sellers, and they got burnt..... HAHA

Does it have to be a 5400rpm or will a faster one work?

Why does dish charge a $5 fee per month for having a DVR receiver? Is it because TIVO does, because TIVO offers alot more functions for their fee. You can do the same thing with a PC and some media software for FREE , although it is a little more hassle to get the setup going.. I have yet...

Mine quit working on 11/23/2006 .... http://www.satelliteguys.us/showthread.php?t=68950
