    DIRT says its impossible to order 722K, you may get a 722 non K

    My 722 hard drive failed. I want to replace it with a 722K. Dish chat says no problem and then sends me a 722 non K.

I want to upgrade to a 722 but the retailer I want to use says that I am "tied" to the retailer I used last time (I don't want to deal with them again). Why can't I buy from anyone that I want to?
