Candy = 73 packages Money = $6.25

Gross exaggeration.

Received mine yesterday. Swap process was painless. Didn't lose any recordings, timers, settings, etc... My only mistake was calling the main 800 number for Dish to have it activated before realizing there is a special 866 number on the paperwork for these yellow card activations. Didn't...

for a landlord to give a tenant a discount on rent or some other token gesture goodwill concessions while an apartment building is being sold to a new owner? Curious if anyone here has been through this before and if there are any standard operating procedures a lot of landlords go by. I've...

[/Bob Hallerism the impending apocalypse is coming to Dish Network!]

All the same thing at the end of the day. I call them idiosynchracies since they are very minor issues in the grand scheme of things and I've only had the program guide problem happen to me a few times. Quick reboot and it was as good as new. Slow motion, frame advance, skip forward, and skip...

No need to be a wiseass. Nothing I've ever posted towards you to date has ever been condescending or inflammatory to the degree you've done above. My contention was that I bet the MPAA had threatened Dish with potential lawsuits along with DirecTV, Comcast, and all the other major cable/sat...

Have we even established that the firewire ports on these HD Motorola DVR Comcast boxes are active? I just read an exceptionally long thread in a PVR forum about these exact receivers in which people repeatedly posted the firewire was disabled/dead. Appears to be much the same solution that...

Those aren't new problems. I've noticed both those idiosynchracies in previous software revisions.

Original poster wants both the 921 and the HDTV combo for the low price.

I don't think the Comcast in my area has even had an HD recordable receiver available to subscribers for very long (if at all yet) fwiw. Dish has had the 921 out in the field for almost a year now. The MPAA cares more about people having perfect HD copies freely available to share then they do...

You live in a part of the country where it makes a lot of sense for Dish to have low-cost all inclusive HD offerings for its consumers. Rural America isn't typically looking for the highest end luxury gear available as the satellite forums typically pay tribute to every day. Considering how...

My understanding is that Dish finalized the design of the 921 long before it ever shipped to the consumers. Like a lot of other Dish Network receivers before it, it was late to market by at least a year if not longer by general consumer expectations following its unveiling at a trade show...

WeeJavaDude, you can't assume everyone is up to speed on abbreviations/acronyms like "NBR". Spell it out in plain english next time! People ask on a dailly basis what E* and D* stand for here for comparisons sake. Your question about why the price drop on the 921 kind of confused me a bit...

Awesome post mike123abc. This one really caught my eye. Glad you are a regular contributor here as I really enjoy reading your voice of reason posts all the time. We should all be a bit more cautious against prematurely making mountains out of molehills when focusing in on things of this...
