    Call from Account Specialist re: Yellow Card Killing my 7200

    After years of having Dish fail to live up to their shortcomings and having my Dishplayer 7200 killed by the new yellow smart card, I finally cancelled my Dish Account. (Search my previous posts for a full explanation). So today I get a call from an account specialist - seemingly to convince...

    Dishplayer 7100 Didn't like Yellow card

    MikeD, Thanks for the concern and the suggestions. It is goodhearted folks like yourself that have kept me in the fold for these many years. While I may be disappointed in DISH, the folks in the larger community have been great. I'm sorry to say that I LIKED the 7200. I thought the GUI...

    Dishplayer 7100 Didn't like Yellow card

    My 7200 has quit working - and I'm quitting Dish :no I've been a customer since 1997 and I'm finally at the end of the rope. As so many others have reported, I inserted the lovely yellow card, activated via the internet and of course my 7200 is now a doorstop. I could go on with a litany...

    Are there any reasons left to stay with Dish ?

    Was wondering this myself . . . I became a E* customer in December 1997. I'm being transferred in two weeks, and I've been told that after 3 - 6 months I'm going to be transferred again. So I've been wondering whether I want to go through the Dishmover experience, already done it once --...

    Moving with my Dishplayer 7200

    Thanks for the feedback Yep, it sounds like a git-r-done kinda job. No problem with the locals, I'm moving from 100 miles outside of Phoenix to inside of Phoenix. I think the azimuth, elevation, and skew change very little if at all. I was wistfully hoping to have someone else climb around...

    Moving with my Dishplayer 7200

    I'm being transferred to another town and I currently have a Dishplayer 7200. I keep it because I like the interface, features and hard drive upgrade ability (I've got a 120 GB drive in it now.) Do I need to worry about the new installation using switches and such that are incompatible with...

    SuperStations?!? Help plz...

    Worth every penney I've had the Superstations package for six years and don't regret the money. Especially since the WB and UPN like to schedule their popular programs against each other. This way I can record (with my antique Dishplayer 7200) the east coast feeds of one show, catch the...

    Upgrading from DishPlayer 7200 to 721?

    Also considering the 721 I'm happy to see the responses so far, because I'm also considering replacing my 7200 (though I just dropped in a 120 GB drive) with the 721 and was wondering about the experience. It looks like the only thing holding me back is having the installer out again. When...

    Does anyone still use a 7100 or 7200 Dishplayer?

    Still using the 7200 Still using my 7200. In fact, just dropped a 120 GB drive in the thing on Friday. I have always had a blackout problem. When first changing to a channel, about 5 minutes later I get about 15 seconds of black, then all is well. Problem never went away like all the...
