    Why is Dish shutting down the 721?

    I am a bit confused again. I called Dish yesterday and gave them my R and S numbers, they told me the receiver could be activated on an account (never gave them my account number, since I don't have one any more). Are you saying some time in the future they are going to prevent activation of...

    Why is Dish shutting down the 721?

    Does this also affect a 921? (I was ebaying my old 921 that I disconnected a few months ago and someone wrote me and pointed me to this thread.) Thanks, Note: I called Dish and gave them my S & R numbers and they said the receiver could be activated. They said they knew nothing about it...

    Just Downgraded Programming

    I also downgraded to AT60. I wish I could downgrade even more (we only watch 2 or 3 of the channels). We have netflix and love it. We replaced almost all our sat watching with netflix.

    Future use of the 921?

    npep, So you can record OTA with an un-authorized but connected 921 (without the guide). If so, that is good. While it is a pain to manually record shows, it is not impossible (we manually recorded OTA shows for many months on the 921 (before the OTA guide was implemented)). Maybe my...

    Future use of the 921?

    With the future upgrade to the MPEG4, I was wondering what are the future uses of a 921. The obvious use is a SD receiver that also receives/records OTA HD channels. Does anyone know if a deactivated or disconnected (ie, not paying the $10 a month fee(5 for extra receiver, 5 for PVR) can...

    CallerID and Vonage

    I recently tried to use the CallerID feature of the 921. I have the phone line connectected (phone line is Vonage with CallerID) and have passed the Dish connection test (to verify the phone line works). I have also enabled the CallerID popup in the user preferences. Incoming calls to...

    OTA HD Recording Question

    richmert, You may want to try the new Sony DVRs coming out in Dec, the Sony DHGHDD500 or Sony DHGHDD250. I think the 250 (with a 250G HD) retails for $800. The 500 (with a 500 HD) retails for $1000. Mike

    PVR & commercial deletion

    There are multiple technical ways you can skip commercials. A few years ago I had a JVC VCR that could automatically skip commercials. It did a pretty good job. But, I agree. This is not going to happen. The content providers will never let this happen. They would sue any company that...

    OTA HD Recording Question

    I have a couple of questions that I could not find the answer. 1.) Can the 921 view OTA HD/DT channels without be subscribed? 2.) Can the 921 view OTA HD/DT channels without being connected to the dish? 3.) Can the 921 record OTA HD/DT on the above two questions. Thanks, Mike (I...
