Amen to that!

You have fallen victim to the "new model is better" syndrome. As I understand it, the 722 is far superior. The 722k was conceived at Dish as a cheaper to manufacture unit (hence no built in OTA tuner, e.g.). It was to save them money, not give you a better DVR.

Bottom line, no. Worthless.

Typical Chuckles, treating the employees like dung.

The day that Dish has to turn of the DVRs is the day they lose millions of customers.

So they are adding another arbitrary monthly charge? They lock us into term contracts, yet we cannot exit without penalty when they hit us with new "fees"? What a rotten company. I think this borders on illegal business practices if I am reading this correctly. I may yet dump them, contract or not.

The 722k has NO OTA tuners. You have to buy the OTA module at extra cost to get those tuners. The 722k was built to cut costs, as not everyone will take the OTA module.

Typical Dish. They would not give me new promos. Guess it depends on the CSR.

If you have EVER had service with Dish, you are not a new customer to them. If you have a spouse, get service in their name.

Gannett's KUSA in Denver carries it OTA on 9.3.

Dish changes what they call their boxes as often as they cycle through the heads of their marketing group. Just a few months ago, they dumped the number designations briefly and went with an array of confusing and ridiculously long names for their receivers. Doesn't look like these stuck with...

I have a similar problem. I have a 722 hooked to my TV via HDMI. Intermittently, I get a screen flash and popping audio every few seconds, accompanied by what I call sparkles all over the screen. It only happens once in a while, but is very annoying. It does not happen when I switch the TV to...

No soup for you!

Indeed! Dish doesn't offer the digital subchannels here in Denver, but I get guide data for them.

The person I heard about is the one wearing the apron.

Makes one wonder if the promotions debacle with the HD+Platinum had anything to do with it.

There is a rumor of yet another executive-level departure from the Dish Marketing department. Aprons anyone?

In the Denver locals package, KWGN (CW) is in HD. However I think it is only in SD on the Superstation package. MyTV in Denver is HD OTA, but NOT on Dish. I have to use OTA to see that station in full, glorious HD.

That is about right. It is just that the garage is a big building Charlie bought in Colorado. Otherwise, you nailed it.

TurboHD was the last CMO's legacy. This fiasco will be Bahr's. What will the next Marketing head do? And how long before he/she arrives.

Excuses. Does this make it right in this case? And you can only be a new customer once with Dish. If you have ever had service, you are an existing customer. Maybe they should pass out some of those aprons to appease everyone! ;-/

Dream on, my friend.

Odd.. I cancelled HBO last week. They gave me HBO and Showtime free for 3 months when I called about HD+Plat.

Sadly, the inept managers will find some low level employee to blame and show them the door.

Scott, it is greatly appreciated. It is not your fault Dish screws up. However, they should have stuck with it as is. I am constantly amazed at this company's inept behavior. Funny thing is they even have their CSRs handing it out, as evidenced by my experience. They obviously didn't think it...
