    Poll: 50x ,721 Owners - Would you pay for NBR?

    I'd consider paying a one-time fee for a software upgrade like that, but I would not pay a monthly fee for software features.

    Just got Yellow Card

    I'll just follow up and report the ending to my story (that is, the story where the first two yellow cards failed with different errors and then my blue card stopped working). I spent another hour with support, for a total of over 4 hours of phone time, but this time I got somebody who really...

    Just got Yellow Card

    Well, A_Noland and I seem to have exactly the same scenario, although mine has gone from bad to worse and I am thoroughly peeved at this point! The first card I received gave me error 19, which is a "Card not inserted correctly" message. The second card they sent a few days later gave me...

    Just got Yellow Card

    I had the same experience as A_Noland. Inserted the new card and received the "Card is not inserted properly" message. Spent 30-40 minutes on the phone and rebooted a few more times. The end result is that they re-activated my blue card and are sending a second yellow card via UPS (and I need...

    Dec 16th Retailer Chat Report

    Scott, do you really think so? I've been waiting for a 522 for around a year now (it always seems to be just a few months away), but if it is going to be another 6 months I'd prefer to just get a 721 right now. My local dealer seems to thing that once the supply opens up a bit (say, in the...

    Dish News.... DHP / DVR Fees and More....

    I've always been confused about whether existing customers are eligible for DHP. Supposedly it is for new customers only, but I don't really understand the logic, especially if they are targeting new receivers like the 522 primarily for DHP. Also, I can't wait to get my hands on a 522. My...

    Exclusive: Scott Reviews the new Dish 322 & 522

    Thanks, just what I wanted to see. I was really hoping for more than 5 lines of display (on a big screen TV there's really a lot more room available). I keep wishing they'd make the number of lines a configuration option. Oh well, I still want one!
