Back when I was with Dish, I had good success getting a response from Charlie using charlie.ergen@echostar.com . Every other dish employee's address uses this nomenclature so I just guessed and got a response that sure seemed to fit Charlie's style and a follow up from one of his assistants that...

All my stuff is grounded but I do not by any means anticipate it doing anything with a direct hit. In fact, the NEC requiring grounding is probably more in case the dish antenna somehow becomes energized the electricity has some place to go other than whatever random person happens to touch it...

If you have an old Dishplayer in the closet you should try selling it. You would be surprised what they are worth now, a heck of a lot more than $50.

Well, I had been paying the month to month fee until I called several months ago and complained enough to get them to take it off. They have not reinstated the fee as of the last bill.

Grandma probalby can't run the 921 either with the whole thing of deciding which subchannel to record and all. ;)

Hey, as many times as we on the net have collectively whined about Dish releasing stuff with bugs, I sure can't blame them for holding back a few more days. Now, it would have been even better if it was done months before now and I'm sure E* feels the same way, seeing as how they missed the...

Yes, with similar waiving of the fee with a certain level of service commitment. The D* does apply per account and not per DVR though IIRC.

Like looking out a window? ;)

That's what gets me about the whole thing. It has never stopped them before and personally, I will be floored if there are no major PITA bugs when it is released. So why did they delay, is the software still totally unstable, hardware issues, they finally decided to release something without...

Did Charlie really say tune in to the next chat for 921 info? You have got to be kidding me!

Hey, at the rate this thing is going, you might be able to put the fact that the HD DirecTiVo is available and the 921 is not in there. ;)

Maybe he is still negoitiating and is using the chat (or the last 5 for that matter) as leverage? I am so glad I did not watch, I know all the lines by heart by now, "hey, CC auto is great and tune in next time for exciting new."

Here's a wild idea. How about a quick demo of the mythical 921 we keep hearing about? ;) Surely one must be ready for at least that short duty.

If someone has the last 4 or 5 (or 10) chats on tape somewhere, it would be really funny to loop all the different wait till next month comments from Charlie and the Tech Guys together. Maybe show Charlie say wait till the tech chat, then show Dave kick it back to Charlie again. This has...

New question. I would like to know how the heck E* thought it was a good idea to roll out 7.81 to 6000's when they knew darn well that the code it used broke the remote functionality for a bunch of them? Is anyone there responsible for quality control or do they just like pissing people off?

I don;t like E*'s version of CC auto pay simply because they have screwed up many peoples billing and just stopped taking the money each month, the people call and say "hey, you didn;t bill me this month", the CSR says, "OK its fixed" but it isn't then all the sudden service is cut. Customer...

The stock fan is 40mmx40mmx<10mm but a 10mm fan will fit OK. A 20mm thick one will not. I bought a fan from www.directron.com but most places that sell computer supplies will have 1 or 2 40x40x10's. They are often used for cooling video cards. I checked Directron and they only had 12 volt...

Mike, there was a post in the board feedback section about the date and time thing. Seems as if the SW corrupted a setting in some people's records. I found Scitts post about it.

Would it kill them to make a single cover for all 3 LNBF's?

Does it work?

Yeah, no kidding. That is my biggest dissapointment with the 921 so far.

I too would like to see a demo of the 921. I would like there to be a 921 running in the background showing Disc HD or the Demo channel when the chat starts, do some intros for a minute or 2, then have Dave or Mark pick up the remote and hit pause. Then unpause it, and FF and RW what was on...

I am happier, that is for sure. Finally something other than tune in next time. I'm still on the fence though regarding the 921 v HD DirecTivo. Also the status of the 721 play into this as well. I really dislike the look and feel of the 5xx series menus, etc and wanted to chuck my 7200 and buy a...

Scott, you might not be able to answer thisdue to NDA, but how do they even get a different SW build onto the beta testers 721's? The DP had internet access built in so you could just download the updates but the 721 only has the sat stream.
