    Killer App Gap - Multiroom HD DVR.

    I'm sorry if this has been discussed before, I didn't see anything. I was plenty content with the 622 TV2 SD output for a while but like so many others, I want an HDTV in my bedroom. Frankly after a couple years running both primary displays off a single DVR, there's no way I'm going to...

    HD-DVR tuner with an HD TV2 out?

    I have the 622 and like the TV2 output functionality due to the DVR sharing. I used to simulate this on cable by using an IR repeater and loved ditching that system. Like most people, I'm thinking of upgrading my bedroom TV to a 1080p LCD and would like to get it an HD feed but I don't want a...

    new 622 install, how many dishes/lines?

    I tried searching for a while but can't find a conclusive answer. I'm having HD DVR Advantage 200pack with HBO and HD installed tomorrow. I'm in NJ and wondering which and how many dishes they'll put up and how many RG-6 runs they'll need to the 622. I had the dish500/300 combo with the...

    Are you paying full price?

    First, I want to say that all service providers hate me because I play the intro offers to the end and then leave or at least threaten to leave. I wonder how many other people are like me and how many just let the discounts collapse to full price. CV stole me from Dish two years ago with an...

    2 years later - New Customer?

    I was hanging on to local cable, gliding on a big 2-year discount to steal me from Dish. Well, time's up and so is the price. Will I qualify for the DVR Advantage + HD with Two Tuner HD DVR and free install now that 2 years have passed? If so, I should probably take down any equipment that I...

    Why can't Dish compete with cable?

    Seriously, I want to come back to Dish but they make it impossible. I had dish from 98 to 03. Cablevision lured me with a ridiculous $59/m for the first two years including two tuner HD DVR with essentially equivelent to the DISH silver channel lineup with HBO. What a no brainer. I've...

    I SO wanted to come back to Dish

    I dropped dish last year when I finally wanted HD content. I had the 721 receiver and wasn't prepared to pay for the 921 plus the additional monthly fees. Cablevision was offering two-tuner HD DVR for an extremly low 12-month rate including HBO, HD channels (basically the equiv of Dish's...

    8300HD keeps cancelling my recordings

    Just when I get psyched that the new firmware supported "start program from beginning" when a show is still being recorded, another bug appears. I use the "record all episodes" feature for shows that are on all five weekdays. I tell it to "save until I erase" and also to "record all shows...

    Jumping Ship, Dish vs. Cable

    I emailed Cablevision about once a month for the past year saying that I'd never consider them competition until they offered a two tuner HD DVR. They finally listened and yes I'm going to take sole credit. First, let me say that I've been with Dish for 4 years and I've had a 721 DVR for the...

    721 Timer fails if watching time-delayed

    I believe this is a new bug. If I have two timers set to launch at 8pm and I'm watching another slightly time delayed channel just prior to that launch, The guide screen claims I'm recording both timed programs, but the PVR screen does not show one of them. I must do a hard reboot to clear up...
