This move was too much for us - we're not willing to go without AMC (YMMV, of course), so, as much as we enjoyed Dish, we decided it was time to switch back to Comcast - the Triple Play pricing gave us HBO/Showtime/Cinemax/Starz/NFL/RedZone, internet service averaging 24Mbps, and VOIP...

I would just like to not have to read tea leaves, like lists of resolutions of prior spats, absence of AMC in channel lineup cards, etc. Unfortunately for us, we're not willing to live without Mad Men and Breaking Bad, no matter what "high quality" channels replace AMC. I'd REALLY prefer not to...

I just got off the phone with a Dish CSR, and asked "Are you really going to pull AMC Networks?". He said no, there's been an update, and they will definitely NOT be pulling AMC. I asked how recent that information was, and he said "Within the last day or two". Can anyone else confirm this? I'm...

1 day after it installed, I came home, during a moderate rain storm in Denver, to see no channels. I went to System Info/Details, and saw messages indicating a LARGE number of signal losses since the update installed (54 in the previous 6 hours, 85 in the 6 before that, 29 in the 6 before that...

Mine was available within several hours, but I'd expect a lot of variance. For a lot of 922 users, DRA is problematic in that your 922 will frequently appear offline, even with a good broadband connection (I'm definitely one of those users). Unfortunately, I think the real answer to your...

THAT'S what I'm talkin' about!!!! Too bad you can't have my 922, tho ;)

I wouldn't count on a DHCP reservation as a solution, even when your router firmware is fixed. I have one for my 922, I've verified over time that the address is stable, and I still have flaky behavior. My sense is that flaky DHCP addresses make solving the problem harder, but I'm not...

Three things I'd really like to see in the next release: Undelete Not having to pause/FF/REW the program to display the timeline More stable network behavior

Same here. What I've noticed is that it's VERY intermittent - sometimes the DVR will show up the next time I click a tab in the DRA web site. Sometimes not. I also have intermittent failure messages in Broadband setup - even though the Tx/Rx packet counters keep increasing, and resetting works...

For me, at least, I think that's a true statement - I wanted off Comcast so badly, and this box really does seem like Dish's flagship platform (of the year, anyway), so the promise of what they'll ultimately do with it is what attracted me. Interestingly enough, I think that what drives my...

Still some recording issues for me. Started watching a recording of a show last night. Finished it. Tried to delete it. Couldn't. Tried switching to the show that was being recorded. Couldn't, despite the fact that it was (according to the box) still recording. Waited for the show to end...

A post over at dbstalk says that a web browser is in the update. Have not had the chance to verify that this is the case. Probably worth checking, though.

When I try to log in with the android client, I get a message saying that the e-mail id or password is not valid. When I go to slingaccounts.com, using the same e-mail and password, I can get into the site just fine. Anyone else have this problem?

Given that I can't solve it on my TV, I guess I would second DVDDAD's request, Scott!

I'm finding that the 922 is very sensitive to doing anything to timers while there are recordings in progress. I have recently experienced (alone or in combination): Reboots (screen goes blank for 5-10 seconds), returns, recording is "stopped by STB reboot", and then picks up on reboot as a...
