Maybe some news as to whether or not the VIP222 will ever have EHD functionality?

Just contacted E* tech support via online chat and was told "External Hard Drive or DVR capability is not available on the VIP222 at this time" Maybe try again later and see if I get the same response?

Well my VIP222 now shows software L378. Last night I plugged in a USB hard-drive and got nothing.... I havn't yet tried plugging that drive into my 722 to make sure it works and is compatible. Hopefully will have time for that in the next few days. But so far it doesn't appear as though the...

I tried to get the Cinemax for .01 deal and was told 'no deal' as I'm currently subscribed to Cinemax. Actually I'm not a current Cinemax subscriber, but am currently getting Cinemax and HBO free for 3 months courtesy of Dishnetwork as I am a new subscriber (just activated before x-mas). Told...

Thinking about switching from D* to E* I've been a D* customer since roughly '96 or so. I stuck it out through having my netwrok feeds pulled, and then waited patiently for years while everyone was switching to E* in this area because E* had locals and D* didn't. I also was forced by D* to...

Well the Locals are now available here in South Dakota (on 72.5), after a long...long wait. I had been calling D trying to get installation set up so that my equipment was ready as soon as the locals launched, but no such luck. Locals went up on a Tuesday and I got my equipment installed the...
