No, I did not have nor do I now have an additional outlet. I do not have a dvr fee showing up on my bill, only a lease fee.

I was told by the upgrade center (Bethany, 9-11) there would be No lease OR dvr fee for the replacement of my owned (not leased 721. My 625 was installed 9-13. A lease fee was immediately applied to my bill. I called 9-16 and Angel said there was nothing she could do. She finally agreed to...

Done! Thanks STDog, I didn't know the board would convert the address to clickable. Charles

Help! They ARE charging a lease fee on my swapped 625. I called today and talked to Angel. I explained the situation and told her Bethany (the upgrade CSR) assured me there would be no lease or pvr fees. She gave me ONE YEAR ONLY of lease waiver but would not budge from there. I emailed CEO...

Bill, I may finally have figured out what the deuce is triggering this. I changed the remote codes and removed the uhf antenna. For awhile I thought it was coming out of standby and not returning to standby after a timer fired. Two days ago my wife noticed it roused from standby mode...

Peter, if you use a remote capable of learning sequences and assigning those sequences to a button, just program a macro for it. The original dish remote can't do this but there are any number of programable remotes from cheap to expensive that can. That's what I did. Best regards, Charles

I've experienced the no video problem as well just lately. In fact it finally got bad enough (within an hour or so) that I did a front panel reset and that cleared things up.

Same here. I have three timers Sunday evening on PBS for 10:30, 11, & 11:30. These represent my weekly Britcom fix. The 10:30 timer is particularly pesky; being completely unpredictable and seemingly random on when it will fire during weeknights. I have troubles with the other two timers...

Yes, I just received a yellow card for my 721 today. My first attempt to call was met with a LOT of static and a hangup from the CSR. The second call was marginally better. In a very heavy asian accent the CSR kept telling me to go to channel 199. I didn't and still don't know of any channel...

I've noticed two issues: 1. This one may have been there all along but I sure don't remember it. When I first turn on the 721 Blinky comes up in the corner for a split second. Something else does too but Blinky always gets my attention. I turned Blinky off through the menus. Being able...

'Reminds me of a couple of my favorite Groucho Marx lines. Something like: "TV is very educational. When someone turns it on I go read a book." and "A book is a man's best friend outside of a dog. Inside of a dog it's too dark to read." Very best regards...
