Thanks, I'll give it a try. I think I'm willing to spring for the extra DVR fee for the 722(k) since I would appreciate the 2nd tuner.

I've been away from Dish for a while due to living in an apartment, looking to maybe come back. I don't really want a Hopper or the added fees that come with it and a Joey. Is it possible to order service that comes with a 722/722K still? I tried figuring it out on Dish's site, but if it's...

An update on this - CBS seems fixed, but NBC is still wrong on Wednesdays. I will PM MattG my account details later on when I have a chance to look them up.

Watch out again next week, like I mentioned in my post it looks like it's messed up again, as is NBC. Wednesday is the only day I've checked so far, I'll check out the rest after work today.

I noticed that my prime-time guide info is wrong for some of my locals in Albuquerque, NM, but only on certain days. For example, last night it said my CBS (KRQE) shows were Criminal Minds (7pm), CSI (8pm), Survivor (9pm). In reality, it was Survivor (7pm), Criminal Minds (8pm), CSI (9pm). It...

What's up with the differing offers? I practically had to beg for $5/month for 3 months.

Also, I just chatted with a CSR and got no offer of credits of any type. All I got was the standard cut and paste response about negotiations. And even funnier, [Big Ten] (with the brackets) was pasted into the boilerplate response. What a joke.

UPDATED Saturday, September 8, 2012 --- 11:30 a.m. From Big Ten Network: Big Ten Network (BTN) and DISH have come together to reach an agreement in principle for DISH to continue carrying BTN. We expect to finalize a long-term agreement soon and we thank fans for their patience.

This is ridiculous. They announced last week that they had reached an agreement, and now they pull it at the last minute without warning? I signed a 2-year agreement with Dish 2 months ago, and I never would have done that if I knew BTN was going to be dropped.

This one will get resolved within one week I'm guessing. As large as the AMC outcry was on this board, it really isn't that popular a channel nationally. If you mess with people's college football, though, watch out. I would imagine that Dish would see a notable and nearly immediate exodus of...

I can get by with a single 622/722/722K serving my house - so $6 DVR fee, no receiver fee. Adding a Hopper and a single Joey for mirroring is $11/month more. That's my main problem with the fee structure on these.

Thanks for the tip. It's hard for me to justify the Hopper/Joey at $11 (or $18 if I want two more connections) per month more when I can just mirror the TV2 out of the 622/722/722K, which is good enough for my current setup. If Dish ever reconsidered and included the 1st Joey in the $4...

My wife and I are moving into a new house soon, so I'm trying to figure out the TV solution. I'm probably going to go with Dish again, but I'm not sold on the Hopper/Joey combo, mostly because of all the added fees. If I select the options right so that it wants to give me one of the...

But if I start the same in-progress recording from the other tuner, it allows me to resume my place when viewing, so clearly that pointer is already being tracked.

Glad to see I'm not the only one bothered by this :) One other suggestion I would have: If I'm recording on tuner 1 of a dual DVR and then start watching the recording (not live tv) from tuner 1, when I stop the recording and want to start from where I left off, my only choice (if the...
