    Is My Hopper trying to phone home?

    I ran into the nightly blocking against my H3 when I had xFi Advanced Security enabled. Unfortunately, it also blocked the nightly read of my Nielsen box, so I disabled Advanced Security.

    LOCAST

    I tried out the Atlanta channels yesterday. A good alternative when Dish and one of the locals get into a pissing contest.

    Why is Dish shutting down the 721?

    My 721 was DEACTIVATED sometime after midnight on Thu, Jan 22nd. I already have the replacement box they offered, just haven't been willing to undertake disassembly/reassembly of my system yet. I guess I shouldn't complain too much--they did warn me that this was going to happen eventually...
