If you buy a 921, you will have nothing but regrets. Just please don't come back here crying after we all told you so. I have both. Got the 921 when it first came out and suffered through being nothing more than a DISH beta tester. During that time I also went through three 921's (1 Hard...

ROFLMAO... David, That was priceless!!!

All, Please don't take my post the wrong way. I too still have my 921 and like many of you have had little problems with it except for many of the same minor annoyances. With this being said, I have to add that although my 921 problems were minor compared to some, I still went through three...

I'm sorry if this sounds harsh but I have absolutely no sympathy for you regarding your new "piece of crap" 921. Multiple people including myself attempted to repeatedly warn you of the problems associated with the 921. We all attempted to steer you towards a 942 in a thread started by you...

Maybe this will help This is directly from the DISH website. Digital Home Advantage Terms and Conditions Monthly Fees and Payments. You agree to make a monthly payment to DISH Network by the payment due date for the programming you select and for the following fees as applicable...

First thing I checked...of course. Brand new Duracells. :confused: :confused: :confused:

I had never experienced this problem either, until last night. Now suddenly, out of the blue...TV2 remote does not control the receiver from across the room. If I get very close to the receiver it will pick it up but any distance suddenly causes it to not work. Also, sometimes it just starts...

You might also want to check the system info screen to make sure that each remote has it's own unique remote address. There is a section in the manual that covers changing the remote addresses for each remote as well as storing the unique remote address to the 942. This may help you to avoid...

Thanks Simon....saved me the trouble. ;)

Excellent point... The other thing I think alot of the people who are saying $250 is too much to lease it for or $250 is too much to pay and not own it are missing is this.... If you were to buy it now for $700, great you own it. In 1-2 years, the new MPEG4 receivers come out. DISH may...

It is always an additional $5 a month on every receiver other than your first one if you lease or own it. If it is leased they call it a $5 lease fee. If you own it they call it a $5 additional outlet fee. You always pay the $5 extra per receiver every month. As for a $5 DVR...

I think they were running low on inventory when I ordered mine as it didn't ship for almost 10 days. Arrived in two days once it was in the pipe at UPS. No problems after that.

Same here... Existing customer.... emailed ceo@dishnetwork.com Got the lease deal for $250. Complete thread on this at dbstalk.com in the 942 section. :D

You'll be sorry....Don't say we didn't warn you. If you do decide to buy a 921, make sure you get it from Costco or somewhere that has a return policy so you can get your money back. Don't confuse the 921 with the 721. Although they are similar and may have been built on the same platform...

Yes, I got the deal as well about 12 days ago. :yes Started by E-mailing ceo@dishnetwork.com also. ;) Existing customer for 3-4 years. Already received the unit and have it installed and up and running. Love the 942!!! Seems to be a lot more stable than the 921 and love the NBR...
