I still see the "Not available on Dish" (Screenshot attached)

Yupp TV and similar ones are gone from the list.

I think what you are seeing is the systematic destruction of the distribution channels by players like Dish, Comcast and the studios. In some way entertainment distribution is an Oligopoly. It almost feels like Netflix is self destructing after showing some promise of disruption. At the end any...

I have been with Dish for a while, when asked about the Hopper, I was told that I'd have to pay $300+installation+24mo contract. My main interest for going with hopper was streaming it to additional tvs without bulky boxes or wiring. I have 722 from Dish now, but I have stopped using it for...

I would also like to upgrade to Hopper with 1 joey. Please contact me. Thanks.

I searched and did not seem to find anything.

Oh well, I got it completely wrong, this is not a standalone box. It is to be used in combination of a DVR box.

Also, wont this easily act like a second HD source at home? I have huge reservation on having one big ugly receiver box in every room. I would be happy to record programs and watch it in bedroom. Of course this may not work for live programs. But most things I do is watching recorded programs...

I am also pretty excited by all the features that it offers, I am thinking of cancelling the apple tv that I pre-ordered. However, one thing I still did not like in either of the videos that they showed is the presence of keyboard or typing. For a geek that may sound normal that we are always...

Thanks for the detailed answer, appreciate it. Looks like 612 is the best option as I do not hook up OTA for the existing 722 and dont plan on new tv either. Any idea if getting this would extend my contract? Also, is this something that I can do it myself or need installation by Dishnetwork.

Using the same box for 2nd tv is out of question for the same reason of hving same output. If I get hd rcvr without dvr, can that access the recordings on 722 if both are on etherner?

I have 722 with single HD tv, I would like to buy another tv would like to know the inexpensive option to have HD signal to it. I would have preferred not to have another STB, but that is out of question if I need HD. I would like to get the programs recorded in existing 722 on to the new...

my contract with dish is over. Dish sent a mail saying I can get $10 per month credit for next 12 months, if I extend it to 24 months. Not sure if I should extend it or just not bother about it. The only thing I am looking for at this point is another HD-dvr apart from the 722 I have. Any...

Heh! not many people come and read these forums. You must be clueless to think that every potential dish customer comes and reads the forums before they sign. Even those who know about these forums dont read these forums. It is just tiring to see the fanboy responses here. All I am saying is...

I dont know why people here are going out of their way to justify the 2 year contract itself. All the OP asked was why the contract is not bound on the price. I guess we could just answer saying that contracts terms allows the change in price and programming thats all is required. We all know...
