    Why is Dish shutting down the 721?

    this is also for dishplayer 7200?? I just received what looks like the same letter...but I only have 1 dish receiver...an aged dishplayer 7200. I called and they want to replace my receiver with a 311...which is not acceptable since it is NOT a dvr box. What do I have to do to get the best...
