The benefits of a business degree, folks. I'd loooooooooooove to get my hands on the memo at Dish that pushed this.

You can get a 211 for the bedroom; if you still wanna watch what you've got recorded on your 722, then you can either go long-ass component or HDMI (expensive), or if you're ok with watching playback in SD, you can set up the TV1 on the 722 to go out the TV2 coax, diplex it onto the satellite...

Any mention of outsourced CSRs specifically or customer service issues in general?

confirm. It was in block training packets for DNS techs today.

I do know that. But do you see the huge difference in controversy between airing the two, or are you being obtuse on purpose?

why yes I can see noted Republican Charlie Ergen willing to brave the pundit firestorm for putting AJE on his satellite service

I'd like to see them make some kind of statement justifying outsourced CSRs, since they seem to be a major cause of customer dissatisfaction, and there's a growing trend (the airlines pioneered it) in bringing CSR jobs back to the US because the resentment caused isn't worth the savings. Also...

little hint from the technician side: you can swap a 622 out for a 722 interchangably on work orders. Some DNS locations don't even stock 622s. So be nice to your technician and you might be happy when he leaves.

5 sats or 5 transponders? Because holy crap, I can't see needing HD, Internationals and a backup HD while going camping

An unbelievably silly personality test. A basic mechanical aptitude test that shouldn't be very hard at all. Some version (depends on state) of your driving record in the last several years. A drug screen, an interview with the manager, etc. Your experience will vary greatly depending on the...

612s have some serious shortage issues right now, could be related

If I was weighing 100 bucks vs. 6 bucks a month, I think I'd tell my wife to watch the point dish screen while I go to work with a 7/16 wrench, myself I guess I'm cheap like that

Do you have HD? Anyway, go out and look. 3 eye LNB= it's a 1000.2, just get a separator on one of the two lines coming into the 722 and ignore the other one. Replace the switch with a ground block or just barrels connecting the two lines you're still using.

Speed HD has disappointing market penetration. I figured with all the NASCAR stuff they air they'd be picked up immediately, yet they've been broadcasting since February and have about ten subscribers. I want my truck races in HD!
