    Dish closing more Blockbuster stores

    Passed the Blockbuster in Lititz, PA on my way to work. Store closing signs were in every window. Extremely disappointed due to the fact that it was one of the reasons I had the BB@home package, I could always get the newer releases in the store on my way home from work as opposed to the "very...

    What package do you currently have?

    Currently have Top 120 with BB@home. Thinking about upping it to Top 200 soon.

    722 DVR upgrade for a current customer?

    Yep, checked with Dish, it activated fine. They did ask me if it was purchased from a retailer or "from a friend." Wasn't sure how to answer that one so I went with the latter.

    BB@home streaming....how's it work?

    So I've had been on the BB@Home package for a while now. Enjoy the extra channels, mail for me isn't too slow and I actually have a Blockbuster near my work so I like the in-store swap option. However, I just upgraded to a 722K receiver and can't figure out how the on-demand streaming works...

    722 DVR upgrade for a current customer?

    Just thought I'd update this thread. I ended up buying a 722K missing a remote off of eBay for less than $100 and successfully activated it last night. So far so good, I'm going to run it the rest of the week to make sure it runs ok before calling and cancelling the leased 222 receiver and...

    722 DVR upgrade for a current customer?

    While I appreciate the effort from MattG and he did eliminate the upgrade fee, there is no budging on the term commitment or install fee (although I could get it reduced by signing up for the Protection Plan). Before I pull the trigger to call in and cancel, would it be this difficult if I...

    722 DVR upgrade for a current customer?

    Seriously, a technician visit? With cable I could take the box down to the local office, swap it out, and hook up the new one on my own. It's not like the dish needs moved or anything. I don't see why a box couldn't be sent, disconnect old, hook up the new one, send the old one back...

    722 DVR upgrade for a current customer?

    I've had Dish for over 4 years (was originally a Absolute customer) and currently have Top 120 with Blockbuster at Home and have a VIP 222 (was originally hoping that one day there would be a external hard drive DVR update for that box but have given up). Currently I'm thinking about upgrading...
