Well, the SECOND replacement they sent seems to be working just fine. I'll be dropping off TWO VIP722's at UPS this week. We'll see what happens.

Is this pain enough to completely get out of the contract without penalty? That's the real question.

This has been ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS. So, I get a refurbished CRAP VIP722 yesterday. I hook it up, get it activated last night, then leave the house. When I come back, I go to change channels, it locks up for a minute, then reboots itself. After it comes back and goes through satellite...

I have to vent about this because I am extremely infuriated about it. I wake up this morning to find the banner screen locked on both TV's that my VIP722 is connected to. I restart the Vip722, and when it comes back, it tells me that the hard drive is corrupted and that it has to clean...
