    Latest 921 Software Update?

    Noticed a few weeks back my 921 got a software update. One of the main things I noticed that they updated (like the 508, 721, etc.) now you get a prompt before changing a channel that has been paused, instead of losing everything if you accidentally hit a channel and it changes. This was well...

    Echostar purchases 25% share in Archos?

    Cool stuff! French gadget site Mobinaute got their hands on the as-yet-unreleased Archos AV700, the plus-size media player with a 7-inch screen. There’s not a whole lot in the post you didn’t already know—USB Host, 100GB hard drive, etc.—but since it’s likely going to be a fairly...

    Kickass Dish Repair Experience

    We rarely get to see examples of good experiences with DISH dispatches so I thought I'd share my latest. I live at an apartment complex who hired a company to power wash the sides of all the buildings. Needless to say, these EEEDIOTS came down on my antenna with their lift and totally...

    Why didn't I think of this earlier?

    So I've been running my 721 in the living room and recently upgraded to the 921 that so many of us love. I've been using a DP34 and running 1 line to a wall outlet connecting to my bedroom, running a 508 receiver. So I'm thinking, hmm...maybe I can save a 5$ per/mo receiver fee and just run coax...

    Will the 921 work with my DP34 Switch?

    Sorry to ask this newbie question but since 921's are so cheap, I'm gonna go ahead and replace my 721 and wanted to know if I could still use my DP34 or do I need to get another switch? Thanks guys.

    Should I go with a Switch or Quad LNB?

    My current setup is a Dish 508 in the living room and a Dish 301 in the bedroom. I'm looking to put a 721 in the living room and and put the 508 in the bedroom and ditch the 301. Would I be better off going with a switch (to utilize 2 tuner capability of the 721 and 1 for the 508) or just...

    I was just checking out some 522's on ebay and one auction says the following: "THIS UNIT CAN ONLY BE ACTIVATED BY DIGITAL HOME ADVANTAGE (DHA) CUSTOMERS THAT HAVE A LOAN EQUIPMENT PLAN." Is this true? I assumed I could purchase the 522 and just keep it on the regular plan I have now...

    921 Q/A Hold Thread

    Hey guys. I've been wanting to pickup a 921 for awhile now. First there was a short supply of them due to high demand and low production. However now I am hearing bits and pieces of a Q/A hold on these receivers and they are simply unobtainable unless you get one from a scalper on ebay for an...
