Ok well I just got off the phone from Dish network's tech people... That was a big bucket of joy lol. First off I said my HDMI cable was no longer putting out any picture or sound. They tell me after we went into about 1,000 different service tips and found out nothing worked they tell me it's a known problem and they should have a fix in about 2 months...
They said use the component cables so I hooked them up (taken from my dvd player) and it worked like I was thinking it would but the only thing is they are to up tight to give me a new receiver. What am I paying for every month if their is something wrong with my box they should give me a new one.
So now because of limited cable connections I no longer have a dvd player unless I switch the cables around every time I want to watch a movie... I kind of knew about this problem for a while and since the box has been out for a while I don't see how they have not fixed the problem yet. I also had another problem with my other older (black box) with that one I only get the local stations because it's only connecting to a few satellites. So I have to pay $30 for them to come out and fix it. The only reason why I am sticking with them is because they offer the best HD channels. There is no way I would ever switch to time time warner because I think the PQ looks like crap.
Anyone have any ideas about getting this problem fixed? I think I should call them back and see how much a HD DVR is?? But knowing my luck I will find out it will be like $500...
P.S I have the VIP 211
Thanks for the help.
