Poll, Do you have your NEW smartcards yet?

[jerryez]

How many people have their NEW smartcards for their receivers.

 

[HDRoberts]

No, but how will I change my vote when (if) I get them?

My parents, also in Cleveland, don't have them, neither does my brother in Detroit.

 

[NotMe546]

Don't worry Dish will not forget you.

 

[ALLTHINGS]

Kind of a dumb poll if you cant update to having received them......misleading....but who knows what scientific info will be obtained from the result.

 

[Stargazer]

If the car swaps are going so well then why didn't they just send them all out at once or in larger batches?

Why? 20 million receivers! How do you know how large the batches are?

So, far, 27 vs 39 is a pretty good start.

I do not know how to change the poll, so you can revote when you get them. I did not see that option.

My parents got their new card and their account is newer than my 12 year old account. I have the 1000.4 sat dish installed on a second pole and am waiting on the smart cards to be able to go to eastern arc + a side sat dish for 110 for Houston hd locals. I also have the 1000.2 sat dish + a side sat for 61.5 . So either way I am ready for either the western or the eastern arc- once the smart cards come my way.

Got mine the other day; 2 minutes and it was done; 622

 

[Hemi 6.1]

I do. and I have my Dish 1000.4 in place as well.

 

[Bobby]

Just came today for my 301. The 722 was already set up.

 

[Dirtydan]

Got mine today for 622 and 722, will install later when nothing important is on tv.

[ehren]

nope

 

[geonaz]

I got mine Thursday Oct. 30. They were easy to install. The only problem is one of my receivers gets the Latino package, another one gets the Asian pack and the third one gets the Arabic pack. The fourth one is the best. It gets Star Fleet Command. My only hope is that no one takes this message seriously. Yea Phillies

I think you have to put a date to run this poll, then start another one in December. Something like:

As of November 1st, how many of you have received the new smartcards?

Just a suggestion.

 

[blanquitoman1984]

Does everyone need smart cards? Some one said They did not have to for the 722 they have. How do you know if your 722 needs one or not?

The newest 722's don't need cards. It depends on how recently they were made.

My "dumb old cards" have not come yet.

 

[Anole]

In less than 24 hours, you have over 150 votes?
I think whatever numbers show for the answers, speak well for themselves.

I've never set up a poll, but I thought you could have it time out in a week or a month.
The voting would then be disabled.
Or, PM one of the moderators and ask them to close/lock the thread.
I'd let it run a week , at least, to see what sort of stats ya get.
(and over such a short span, anyone getting their cards during that time, can be ignored)

Right now, the NO's are leading about 3 to 2.

 

[Claude Greiner]

What im seeing from a retailer point of view is that they are sending them out immediatly to new customers who where just recently installed and still have the old cards!

 

[Stargazer]

I have a customer in which had a receiver go bad and never had a card put in it. I replaced it with another used one and they sent a card out within a week or two. Seems like they are replacing cards for the receivers activated more recently than the older ones.

 

[jerryez]

I have had my 722 since they come out, but traded my 811 for a 211 when they sent me a card in Ausust. I got my cards the day I started this poll.
