Since this thread is one of the few places I received straight information, I wanted to follow-up on my experience. I was a Dish customer for 5-6 years. I originally found this forum while looking for information on upgrading the the 921 DVR unit. The search led me to this thread, and put the...

Strange. Everything I am being told and reading says that the box is NOT needed for the channels I currently get without a box. Cablevision was very clear on contradicting this. I am currently checking this out with a neighbor. I am sure the folks here are correct and that the CSR is wrong...

Adam, Thanks for adding to my confusion. :) I have spoken with 2 different CSRs and 1 salesperson on this. All have separately confirmed that anything higher than channel 14 needs a box once you go to iO. This cost them a "sale" as I was about to order iO gold with a DVR. On learning...

Thanks for the clarification. I already have HBO and Sho HD, so apparently I have all the HD channels that Dish currently offers. I thought the CSR was wrong (but was hoping he wasn't). America's Everything doesn't offer me more HD than I have now. --Joe

I currently subscribe to Dish and have the HD package. Was considering getting a 921 receiver (despite some of the negatives I have read in this forum). When I called E* to clarify some details I was told that both Starz and Cinemax were available in HD. I was also told that some of the...
