    Hopper or HD Receiver?

    I currently have a 722. I want HD on 2nd TV. Pros and Cons on a 2nd HD Receiver or a Hopper with one Joey? What would be the price difference between the two? I will say I would not get a HDDVR Receiver for back TV just a HD Receiver.

    Problem with 722 Receiver

    This is such a weird issue. The recording "part" of my 722 is absolutely corrupt. I did a Check switch with No issues. I have done several resets (soft and hard) with zero success. Is there anyway to tell if I possibly have a corrupt download from L 724? Lost is a world of Recording.

    Thinking of switching

    How can I convince Directv Rep to only bring a HR 34 and a HR 24? Is there a HR 25? Difference or what should I push for? I will pay the $99 dollars for the HR 34 which I should get with the right pkg but I do not wasnt old technology on my "other" HD Receiver. A OTA tuner is no longer a issue...

    722 will not record Locals

    There is no recording, nothing; no skip... The original Timers are still in the system BUT they were setup for the SD locals.... Is that the problem? Do I need to remove the old SD Local timers and setup the Timers on the HD Locals?

    My daughter had her Dish moved to her new house. The Dish Tech set her up on the eastern arc so she could receive her locals in HD. The 722 will not record the Locals.

    Service Plan

    I have been with Dish 10+ years. I have NEVER had the Service plan and I have NEVER paid $15 dollars for a replacement receiver to be shipped. Being a long time excellent paying customer has its perks plus I have leverage because I am not under contract.

    OFFICIAL DISH / FOX ORDEAL DISCUSSION THREAD

    BS... Are you saying Dish is not a profitable company? $6 dollar fee for DVR service is fair? What about Dish putting the local channels in HD on another satellite and want to charge the consumer $95 dollars to move the consumer's dish to the eastern arc?...... Maybe Dish should be more...

    Cancelled Installation

    I hear ya, BUT Dish offers ALL the local networks in HD. DTV has always lacked with the locals in my area which cost them many customers. By the way, I have a OTA and pick up all the channels BUT I am "picky" and want DTV to offer ALL the locals not just a part. This feature works great with...

    Cancelled Installation

    I finally canceled because there is some "feud" with Direct TV, Channel 8 and Channel 11 out of Monroe DMA. DTV started providing our local BUT CBS(Channel 8) and ABC(Channel 11) are not in the local lineup. This was a "deal killer" for me. Any info. on this dispute being resolved? I cannot...
