    New Sirius Lineup July 7th, 2004!

    I dissagree - for me I'm on the fence about subscribing to Sirius because they don't have all of the channels. It seems silly to subscribe based on Dish's offering and then having to schlep the reciever in and out of the house to the car and setup antennas etc. If I had the full range on...

    DVD Recording vs DVR

    I've got one of the newer Panasonic DVD recorders that has the HDD. It works but I wish that E* would make a pvr that includes a DVD. 2 issues - one is that you have to again re-think your connections. Everything must run through the DVD or it's useless as a recorder. This is a bigger...

    What, no more 721 bugs or complaints?

    Would agree - it's more stable than L115 but it's not bug free. Having more of an incidence of the extremely short recorded events. Short being 30seconds to 7minutes as of late. Also still see the loss of audio on occasion when using the 30second skip feature. And the black screen with...

    Snow country? Yep I'm right smack in the middle of WY. Still coming down today in fact. I'm just hopefull that we will see the ground again before spring. Haven't raked leaves yet either... I originally put the dish where I could brush it off. Worked out well untill summer vegitation...

    Dish Heaters

    Well it's that season again and seeing as how I spent about 45 minutes throwing snowballs at my dish last night to clear it (It's a chimney mount on a 12 pitch roof with ~ 3' of snow currently covering it) I'm wondering about experiences anyone has had with the dish heaters. Any...

    721 L1.15 Bug Reports

    Found a nasty multiplier on this HUGE bug... If you have no satellite signal - (as we have had during the 20inches of snow we got the past two days) and you "encounter" this bug - the PIP/Swap workaround does not work. Re-booting leaves you without anything to watch as the stupid 721 will not...

    721 L1.15 Bug Reports

    Re: General performance / responce issues post 115 update. Yes to both bugs. Thank God someone else is having these same issues. Thought I was crazy. The "stuck at the stopped show" bug has shown it's head several times since the upgrade. This is something I'd expect in a pre-alpha...

    721 Timers after setting the clock back one hour

    I had only 1 timer fire Sunday. But it recorded for 1313 minutes! Then it started over... (I was out of town or I'd have stopped it sooner) Some update. Dish, can I have my software from two versions ago - Please?

    721 L1.15 Bug Reports

    New and nasty bug Just ran across this this A.M.... Watching a recorded program - accidentally hit the channel up button... Took about 3 minutes to change to the channel. All the while I had a black screen with the program info banner across the top. It did eventually switch...
