    942 or 921?

    If you buy a 921, you will have nothing but regrets. Just please don't come back here crying after we all told you so. I have both. Got the 921 when it first came out and suffered through being nothing more than a DISH beta tester. During that time I also went through three 921's (1 Hard...

    got my new 921 and now it has died

    All, Please don't take my post the wrong way. I too still have my 921 and like many of you have had little problems with it except for many of the same minor annoyances. With this being said, I have to add that although my 921 problems were minor compared to some, I still went through three...

    got my new 921 and now it has died

    I'm sorry if this sounds harsh but I have absolutely no sympathy for you regarding your new "piece of crap" 921. Multiple people including myself attempted to repeatedly warn you of the problems associated with the 921. We all attempted to steer you towards a 942 in a thread started by you...

    942 TV2 Remote Trouble

    I had never experienced this problem either, until last night. Now suddenly, out of the blue...TV2 remote does not control the receiver from across the room. If I get very close to the receiver it will pick it up but any distance suddenly causes it to not work. Also, sometimes it just starts...

    942 TV2 Remote Trouble

    You might also want to check the system info screen to make sure that each remote has it's own unique remote address. There is a section in the manual that covers changing the remote addresses for each remote as well as storing the unique remote address to the 942. This may help you to avoid...

    Lease a 942 ? Existing Sub

    Excellent point... The other thing I think alot of the people who are saying $250 is too much to lease it for or $250 is too much to pay and not own it are missing is this.... If you were to buy it now for $700, great you own it. In 1-2 years, the new MPEG4 receivers come out. DISH may...

    $700 for 942!!!

    It is always an additional $5 a month on every receiver other than your first one if you lease or own it. If it is leased they call it a $5 lease fee. If you own it they call it a $5 additional outlet fee. You always pay the $5 extra per receiver every month. As for a $5 DVR...

    Lease a 942 ? Existing Sub

    I think they were running low on inventory when I ordered mine as it didn't ship for almost 10 days. Arrived in two days once it was in the pipe at UPS. No problems after that.

    Dish 942 with external hard Disk

    You'll be sorry....Don't say we didn't warn you. If you do decide to buy a 921, make sure you get it from Costco or somewhere that has a return policy so you can get your money back. Don't confuse the 921 with the 721. Although they are similar and may have been built on the same platform...

    I want a 942 but....

    Thanks Mr. Corvette for the kind word and the new addition to my Sig. ;) Mine hasn't arrived yet either but I hope to have it by about the same time you get yours. Hope we both enjoy them as much as I expect we will. :D

    I want a 942 but....

    If you have more than 1 box you are still paying the $5 a month fee if you own it or not. Remember, Owned = $5 additional outlet fee; Leased = $5 lease fee in which case the additional outlet fee is waived. No idea where $10 a month came from. Never paid it, never will. In addition, if I...

    One Tuner Seemed to have died

    Scott, You may want to double check that you are still able to record two HD channels at one time. I had a problem like this and had to get a new unit. One of my tuners had lost the ability to receive HD programing. It still received SD for a while but eventually it lost that ability as...

    do i need to send back cables/remotes during receiver upgrade

    Yes, Simon is absolutely correct... The difference is all dependent on if you are swapping out a defective receiver with a replacement of the same model (keep your remote and return only the defective equipment) or upgrading a receiver and returning a unit to be removed from you account (must...

    721 receiver for $299?

    Most people have had to send an E-mail to ceo@dishnetwork.com in order to get the deal. Then they receive a call back at which time they place their order. You will never get through to the executive sales office by calling DISH directly. The CSR's will claim they don't have the ability to...

    do i need to send back cables/remotes during receiver upgrade

    My understanding of Dish's policy is if you are returning equipment, (receivers) you must also include the original remote control you were given with the unit. I had this same question when I upgraded to my 921 and 721 and in both cases was returning 301 receivers. I called DISH customer...

    Connect Diplexer to 721 Sat in 1 or 2?

    This may totally miss the mark of the problem you are having but you do know that the 721 requires two satellite feeds from your dish in order to operate. Not a satellite feed and a cable feed. I don't think this will work under any configuration. I do believe however on the back of the 721...
