Well I hate to be saying this but I'm jumping off of the sattelite wagon as well. Comcast just has so much more to offer than they use to and I'll save about 25.00 a month and get more HD content.

It seems that my pic quality has been better in the last few months also. I swapped some cables for higher quality cables and I thought that might be the reason but who knows. Maybe they have reduced the compression a little or done something to actually improve the quality. What ever it is I'm...

I have a Toshiba 50 inch HD TV and I use Dish and my picture quality is great it's clear and crisp and very sharp. I had to learn how to calabrate my TV before I got such a good picture. When I first got my 50 inch and hooked it up to my dish I was a little dissapointed in the pic quality but...

Hi boba, everyone has a different experience with Dish Network. I've been with them for several years now and I have to say that over all it's been a pleasent experience. I've had some problems with my 721 but they are all just a distant memory as of now. Dish got me a new unit when I asked...

Thats a good idea I wonder if you could get away with it? SG

Well I'll say one thing it's all to good to be true being able to record any show and watch it without commercials. The TV moguels and RIAA will not let us continue to skip commercials forever. I think that sooner or later there will be no free TV it will all be PPV. Now that's just my opinion...

Mine works fine sometimes and other times it will not stop recording until you stop it. Thats my experience with my 721. They put an update out and everything works good and then they do another one and stuff goes bad and then yeah you guessed it it goes bad again. I love my 721 but sometimes...

I hope they are not done with it I'm hoping for name based recording later this year. Other than that I am happy with mine. Bob

Way to go Ralph I'm glad you found a package that you can use. I know that there are many more out there but that one should work fine for you. Bob

It is usb 1 and the only thing it supports as of now are keyboards and a mouse. Some people are having great luck with these devices. I don't look for them to develop this port any further because no one at E* will ever say much about it. But who knows. Bob

Yeah that is not part of the software something is wrong there. Sounds like it's time for a new one as long as you have done all of the reset tricks. Bob

If you own your equipment you should be able to cancel when your 1 year commitment is up and sell your equipment. Bob

Thats terrible LER I have never had that happen. I wonder where all of these weird glitches are coming from. You know we have the same software and we both have the same machine but I have had mine for a long time. I wonder if they are just building shoddy equipment? Well any way I'll let you...

There are several ways to do it but most are not easy. One way is to record it to a DVD player via the S-Video or RCA jacks. Then you can get it into your computer that way. Another way is to record it to your video camera with what ever inputs your video camera has then you can capture it...

If you are renting your receiver call and have it replaced and if you own the receiver go on ebay and buy a new one they are very affordable on ebay. It sounds like your unit is bad. Bob
