Thanks for the spam, I love it!

Yes, but if you Google Directv not showing Noggin this thread and one at Multichannel News (Multichannel's is "CJ") are Number 1 and 2. Which is probably all her supervisor at E* told her to do.

I hear you, bro. I've had it. I told myself, "one more thing" after the 942-never-being obsolete (until one week after I bought it) incident, and that was going to be that. So I now find myself calling Craptastic Cablevision and D* to see who can give me the Moose 24/7 the cheapest. I...

I had my 622´s activated a week ago. I just tonight finished several days of recording to DVD all the junk I had on my 942, which is off to the UPS store tomorrow. When the receiver arrives at the ¨Searching for Satellite¨screen, just press the ¨DVR¨button. Then proceed as normal. No Sat...

Just got a call from E* eggs-zecutive offices. I was offered a lease deal to upgrade both my 921 and 942 at $99 per. Told the nice fellow, "Thanks, but no thanks, I'm getting quite used to having only OTA HD and a $60 E* bill." I also said I'd only be interested in a ownership deal, one that...

Floyd!!!! For those of you E* bike racing nuts out there who can't get OLN (that would be everyone), Floyd Landis of Phonak won Paris-Nice today. Better TV for all, except maybe for you.

Dish-bot bump. Where are you guys? Don't you have an o-fish-al E* approved answer for this poor fellow? After all, I cried a river over you. Seriously, try writing ceo@dishnetwork.com and giving the details. Maybe someone there will have pity on you.

I love this. It's really quite funny. I'm getting quite a kick out of the "Automobile/Computer/You Should have known about MPEG-4 and been Smart Like Me" Dish-bots. Taking a look at the meager offerings of my Living Room "Entertainment Center." we find: One Dish 34" HDTV Monitor One Dish 942...

You've hit the nail on the head. HOW was the customer to know what was to come? By reading this forum or listening to what he/she was told by an E* employee? Who would be supposed to have the greater knowledge of the product? The people around here who KNEW, guessed. Lots of people make...

Yes, I'm going to an Auto Race next month. Coverage is on OLN. So, "Mr. Spent $2000+ on E* Equipment in the Last 24-Months" (That would be me) gets to ask "Mr. Basic Cable Brother in Law" to TAPE it for him. Better TV for all. Except maybe you.

I've given this considerable thought. I think the entire concept of Class Action Suits stinks. Unless, of course you're a lawyer specializing in Class Actions Suits. I have explored the idea of simply taking E* to you local neighborhood Small Claims Court. In Civil Court Fraud is a tough...

Well said. The folks around here that knew, guessed. The folks at Dish who really knew committed deceit and fraud. The other people and "dealers" that found out and then unloaded their 942's to unsuspecting folks, well, good luck with your Karma.

That'll make people with multiple HDTV's real happy.

Good Question! So I'm sitting here, wondering what's on my local PBS station in HD as I no longer have any OTA guide info because I cancelled my locals, all HD and a couple of receivers in a vain, stupid 942 RECENT OWNER protest, and I noticed I hadn't called E* for at least a week to check...

I agree and hope you are correct about this "owner" upgrade plan. They could shut up a lot of folks by announcing something about this like, today. But then, my 6 week old 942 has a one year warranty. On day 91 after activation, when a leased 622 eats a hard drive due to operator error, what...
