    Enabling Prime Time Anytime -- does anyone use it?

    Great install on the Hopper and Joeys yesterday, but now I'm faced with the question of Prime Time Anytime. I see it's available as an option and will take up a tuner if I use it. Records every night from 7-11pm, but in my opinion that could end up recording alot of junk I could care less...

    DISH Price Increase 1/17/2013 (UPDATED!)

    So here's the breakdown of my bill and some of it doesn't make sense. I have no idea why I am paying $10 a month for Blockbuster at home when I never even subscribed to it. Looks like it was just added and it makes me wonder how many months it's been on there that I was paying for a service I...

    DISH Price Increase 1/17/2013 (UPDATED!)

    Honestly I'm starting to wonder about all the benefits of Dish when I pay nearly $150 a month in my bill. I have everything, all four movie channels plus networks. Is that pretty much what everyone else is paying, or do I need to figure out if I am being overcharged?

    My 722K now also rebooting; Waring 981 showing up

    aha! Thanks for the tip. Checked the website, and their current estimate is to arrive between 3:14-5:28pm. Hope it doesn't run after 5pm as posted. Hate when you stay home for work on something like this and then they finally arrive after you would have already gotten home. :( UPDATE: So...

    Reliability issues with 722k?

    My two 722Ks never lost any programs over the two years I have had them. But recently one experienced complete hard drive failure, so I am replacing the whole system with one Hopper and two Joeys. I wouldn't blame it on the 722K though, because hard drives fail all the time. Come to think of...

    My 722K now also rebooting; Waring 981 showing up

    Zach set everything up, and Dish Network folks are supposed to be here today between 12-5pm. Funny thing though, don't they usually call in advance to let you know closer to when they plan to arrive? I haven't heard a whisper all morning and wonder if they are way behind or something. BTW, I...

    My 722K now also rebooting; Waring 981 showing up

    Hmmm would it be better now to cancel my 722K upgrade to a Hopper on 31 December and wait to see what comes in January? Where did you see information about a new Hopper?

    My 722K now also rebooting; Waring 981 showing up

    Wouldn't fixing the problem be easier and less costlier than continually sending out new units to everyone? Or is this a subtle way to get folks to upgrade to the Hopper for a $50 charge...

    ViP 722K started rebooting

    Same thing happened to one my 722Ks just this morning. I am strongly suspecting a bug in the latest software download that corrupted drives...

    My 722K now also rebooting; Waring 981 showing up

    i'd like to publicly thank Zach! He responded early this morning and we walked through everything to set up a replacement. Decided to get rid of the two VIP722Ks and replace with a single Hopper and two Joeys. They'll be out on 31 December to take care of all the installation... assuming we...

    My 722K now also rebooting; Waring 981 showing up

    This morning I turned on my television and saw the Dish receiver on "starting up." No big deal, so I waited, and waited, and waited. After 20 minutes, and no change, I hit the red reset button. Reboots, gets to the "starting up" screen and then cycles a few times from a black screen to...
