    Tivo

    Tivo can offer all the enhancements and features they want. But the only ones that are going to matter to most people are 2 tuners and an integrated box. And then they are still going to have to convince people that the other features are worth paying for, since having to buy the box and pay...

    Tivo

    Sounds reasonable. The problem is that there isn't any growth left in stand alone market, and SA revenue will probably start to decline soon. As more cable companies roll out their own DVRs, people are going to switch because they are cheaper (a free box and lower monthly fee) and they have...

    DISH or DirectTV???

    This is what I'm finding fascinating now that I've gone to "the other side". I spent the last 2 years reading posts from Tivo users bashing Dish DVRs whenever anyone posted a problem. Now that I read the DirecTV/Tivo forums, whenever anyone dares to point out a flaw in Tivo, they get a bunch...

    DISH or DirectTV???

    How about actually being able to browse the guide? It's pretty much impossible on the Tivo because it takes so long to load. And the loss of color bug is as bad or worse than any bug I ever encountered on my 721. My 721 had a hard drive and it was much faster than the Tivo in every aspect...

    DISH or DirectTV???

    I switched from Dish to Directv last month. I don't have HD so I don't know how much my experience will help you. The equipment is a wash. I had a 721 and now have a directivo. Yes, the name-based recording and associated features on the Tivo are great. But the Tivo has it's faults - just...

    How to watch recorded shows on a 721 that's not hooked up

    <sarcasm>No, that never occurred to me. I thought if I just kept staring at the screen the PVR list would come up.<sarcasm> The PVR button does nothing. Mike, I was able to get to it through the menu, thanks! Dennis

    How to watch recorded shows on a 721 that's not hooked up

    How do you watch recorded shows on a 721 when it's not hooked up? I'm just stuck on "acquiring satellite input" or whatever it says.

    The problem with DVR's

    This is why we got a 721.

    Are there any satisfied DISH customers

    I wouldn't find that acceptable either, but my 721 has never lost a recorded show. I think I had one instance in almost 2 years where a timer didn't fire when it was supposed to.

    Are there any satisfied DISH customers

    I've had Dish for 4 years and a 721 for almost 2 years and I have no complaints with my service.

    Why DVR Fees?

    If you don't like it, don't pay it. They clearly state the fees up front - if you don't think they are reasonable, then don't buy the unit. Nobody is holding a gun to your head.

    Why DVR Fees?

    By the same logic, there shouldn't be any monthly charges at all for Dish Network. You've already paid for your equipment, why should you have to pay a monthly charge to use it?

    721 Caller ID Problem

    I have always had issues with it as well. Most calls show up in the history but the pop-up almost never works, I've seen it maybe 4 or 5 times in a year and a half. My switch is grounded, they sent me the 3-prong adapter and I put that on and it hasn't helped either. Dennis

    When Will We Get NBR?

    While Replay doesn't have a season pass function it has the flexibility that you could specify if you wanted the timers to record the show from just one channel or all channels. You could also specify the days of the week as well.

    HD vs. SD

    Yes, the future is HD, but the present is still SD. Do you really think that Dish would provide millions of replacement receivers to customers for free? Of course not. So when they tell people they have to buy new receivers to get channels they've already been getting, what do you think...

    The future of DVR?

    I can only speak for the 721, but IMO the only "essential" feature the 721 is missing is name-based recording. Season pass, wish lists, folders, etc. are "nice to have" features, but not essential IMO. I know they keep saying NBR/season pass is coming, but I'm certainly not holding my breath...

    Need Advice: Keep DP, Get a 721, or Go to DTV?

    I have had a 721 for almost 2 years now and haven't had any problems. My main gripe is the lack of name-based recording. But aside from that, it has been solid.

    721 Timers menu?

    It used to work that way until one of the recent software updates.

    Problems with Caller ID and DVR510???

    I have a 721 and the caller ID hardly ever works. All the calls show in the history, so it's obviously connected right and so forth, but the pop-up hardly ever comes up.

    Why do we stay with Dishnetwork????

    The impression I get is the people who are the most dissatisfied with Dish are the ones who live on the cutting edge. Those who want HD and buy new receivers as soon as they are released are the ones who are always complaining. Those of us who are happy with our "old" SD TVs are quite happy...

    Why do we stay with Dishnetwork????

    I stay because I get good service and the channels I want for a good price. But I always wonder why the people who are constantly complaining about Dish stay. If you're that unhappy with them, then just leave already and move on with your lives.

    I hate Dish Network (this isn't a flame starter)

    I searched the web and the best I could find was this at http://www.kevinboone.com/lawglos_breach_of_contract.html It says in part: "In no case does a breach of contract, however fundamental, automatically discharge the contract, nor does it necessarily declare it void." It also says...

    I hate Dish Network (this isn't a flame starter)

    From the agreement posted at http://www.dishnetwork.com/content/aboutus/RCA/index.shtml : Section 1G says: "Changes in Services offered. DISH Network reserves the right to change the Services that we offer, and our prices or fees related to such Services at any time. If the change affects...

    I hate Dish Network (this isn't a flame starter)

    I'm confused - you signed a ccontract with Dish and now you're complaining they are holding you to it? Read your contract - taking the Viacom channels off the air in no way violated it. You don't have a leg to stand on. Dish has many flaws in their customer service, but they are right on this...

    a real installer story

    Everyone likes to complain about the bad installers but it's good to remember there are a lot of good ones as well. When I had my second dish for locals installed, the guy Dish sent out had never seen a 721 before and couldn't get it to see the side satellite. So they sent out another guy a...
