    DirecTV loses Lawsuit

    I am a firm believer in what the EFF and other organizations have done in fighting this extortion from DTV. It is a true travesty of justice that they have been able to extort money from these individuals for so many years now. I understand that they have, or at least had, an issue with their...

    A all-in-one remote

    I use an RCA 810 Universal Learning Remote with JP1 added. Built the fully working JP1 device myself and added the 6-pin connected soldered to the remotes main board. Great thing about it is that you can learn/program anything controlled via IR into the remote. You can disable buttons so that...

    Tech Chat. What was the big surprise?

    So what was the Name Based Recording time-line you say they spoke of. I'm new to Dish and have the 721. I love the unit but I, like everyone else, miss my Name Based Recording. /curious

    New PVR 721 Activation

    ...has a lot of logos on the top non-chip side. I've heard of people talking about yellow cards? Will I be able to activate using this card? Will E* make me pay for a new card to activate my unit? If you have any knowledge or can speak from experience I'd love to hear what you have to say...

    Adding Playboy HD- a little embarrased!

    If the CSR's did not act professional during situations like this then they wouldn't be CSR's very long I would hope. Plus, they fact that they're recorded makes CSR Reviews a wee bit difficult if a Manager can hear them taunting you in some way over your order. Enjoy it dude! The CSR could...

    Your Opinion On SeaLaunch & D* New Market Locals

    Situation: I've been a longtime subscriber to D* and have enjoyed it's services for quite a while.

    IT'S OFFICIAL NO FIREWIRE ON 921!

    As a soon to be NEW E* Customer hearing this type of information bothers me. Granted, I do own an HDTV but have to budget my satellite expenses and thus, can not afford HDTV Programming as well as any accompanying receiver. I have already picked up a very well priced PVR 721 from DishStore...

    What the hell is going on @ E*, Exec. CSR refused to help!!!

    I would highly recommend calling back to speak with a Supervisor or Manager of the CSR Center where JJ is working. I would then request to said Sup/Man that they review the call you placed at approximately X time from X phone number and review the rude and unprofessional manor of Customer...

    721 question Can I record OTA with it ?

    This old topic gave me a good head scratch... I know the 721 wont record OTA Locals but what if you actually pay for your locals and have a SuperDISH. Technically, wont your locals now appear on your standard menu and give all normal PVR Features? Man, my brain is tired doing research on...

    Trying To Avoid Potential PVR721 Issues

    ...mind... My setup is a 2 room scenario. 1 receiver for the bedroom and 1 receiver for the living room. Now, I know that with the 522 dual tuner E* will actually charge you for having an extra receiver just for the fact that the 522 is a dual tuner. Example: Bedroom - Standard 301...

    Hello all around! Over the past week I've been peppering everyone with my 721 questions and wouldn't you know, I've got more. LOL! I've asked E* about their Home Protection Plan and if a receiver purchased after installation can be added to that plan. The answer, yes. So, my question is...

    Trying To Avoid Potential PVR721 Issues

    Man, that's great! It just seems funny that Dish would allow those receivers to function like that without hitting us with the charges same as everyone else. Works great for me though!!!

    Trying To Avoid Potential PVR721 Issues

    Ok, great! Next questions though... When you say NO VOD I know you mean No Video On Demand which begs me to ask. Does this mean that it will only allow scheduled programming? Can you hit REC while watching? I know it's kinda petty but I just don't know. Thanks again for all your help!
