While a bit dated in this shot (The power unit and fans remain in the current setup, but now, all the equipment is now newer. The 622 lives where the 211 is in this shot), this shows my in-wall setup. And a more distant view: I really need to update my photos!

This is interesting to note.... Thanks. My last 622 to be replaced had the endless reboot problem. Hum...

I got an email back from Mr. Kliewer. He said he contacted the director of that department to make sure I never get bothered by the non-returned equipment charge again. Also, he offered to replace my 622 with a 722. Very nice. I thanked him profusely and welcomed the equipment swap. These...

I have had such bad luck with the 622... I had my umpteenth 622 die upstairs, so I swapped my 722 in while awaiting for the replacement. When the replacement came, I put it downstairs where the 722 was, in a place that very very rarely gets used. About a month after installing the replacement...

I recently had another 622 die on my only to have the replacement die on me 1.5months later. I believe I have had at least four, probably closer to six, 622's since I purchased my first one back when they were introduced. Is there any way to know? Just curious if they track that stuff. I...

Looking online at Dish, I cannot find my current contract length. Anyone know where I can find all the details? Thanks!

Ok, this is weird... I've had Dish for years (11 to be exact). I called to cancel about 2 months ago so I could switch to DirecTV. I found out I was physically unable to get DirecTV, so I called Dish back before the cancel date and reinstated. They were kind enough to even give me $15 a month...

Things went well with Dish. They tried to offer me a deal but really could not match DirecTV's. I am not leaving unhappy with Dish, but economically, the DirecTV deal was too good to pass up. I'm sure, in time, Dish will come out with one and once the contract expires with DirecTV, I will...

I got a new offer for the same listed above but for $39 per month!! I went ahead and signed up. Now I have to cancel Dish. I re-upped a couple weeks ago ($10 off with contract) but have not been billed or actually even gone a month so I hope I can cancel OK. Basically, Dish has not YET saved...

Thanks for the information! Now to convince my wife! When I did a chat with Dish to see if they would meet Direc's prices, the first thing they told me was: "But you agreed to sign up with us for two years... and we saved you $120..." I told her, yes, but that was 24 hours ago and you haven't...

Via chat, the answer is no. I'll call retentions tomorrow & see. Otherwise, I'll simply switch. No big. Saves me $15 per month even after the deal runs out...

Could they re-use my Dish dish locations? My wife says, "No more holes on the house!"

Cool!

I've been sorely tempted in the last two days to switch. Using the Satelliteguys referral, I can get: 1 Handling fee $0 1 HD Receiver $99 1 Plus HD-DVR $199 1 Instant online rebate -$199 1 Pro install $0 Startup cost $99 First month's bill: Choice XTRA plus HD $72.99 HBO $14 Starz $11...

Will Dish counter offer DirecTV? I was going to call DirecTV and sign up for their HD package with HD DVR for $49/mo for 12 months. It costs me $99 with Dish for the same thing. Plus no equipment or setup fees. Totally no money out of pocket. I would love for Dish to match the monthly &...
