Actually, they volunteered a reimbursement, but I declined, for now. Rather than concede 3+ weeks of lost service (including the 24 season premiere weekend) I want to play with the HR10 a little more to see if I can get something out of it.

I have a failing HR10, so they offered my an HR20 for $99 (2 year lease, blah, blah blah). The best delivery date they would give me, even with our service dead in the water with the HR10, was Jan. 18 (24 days). I would also prefer to just have it shipped and replace the receiver and dish...

Sold on eBay (Buy-it-Now the first day). Thanks to those here at satelliteguys who inquired.

I think $1070 is very reasonable in this market. I expect I can get more on eBay, but who knows. Like I said, I am just trying to break-even. I wanted to give the informed buyers here first shot. VSSL's web page says "... now shipping, kinda." Not sure what "kinda" means, but I bet a new...

I have a DISH (Echostar) 921 HD DVR that I am replacing with a DirecTV system. My plan is to list it on eBay, but I would prefer to sell it to someone here. This unit has worked very well for me. It has no problems other than software immaturity issues that you can see discussed here. I am...

I have searched and searched, but I cannot determine what hardware problems have been confirmed. Are there any known hardware problems with units pre-QA-hold? If so, is DISH replacing units a) proactively, b) upon request, c) only if certain problems are seen, or d) not at all?

After 8 years, I am beginning the process. My annual pre-pay anniversary is/was later this month, and I have changed to month-to-month. I have a 921, and as soon as I can get an HD DirecTivo, I am gone.

Scott- thanks for your support on this. How you can be in CT and not be a Yankee fan is something I will never comprehend :) . But, you overcame that personality flaw to argue the case for E* to provide a competitive level of service.

Already placed my call with my local retailer. I will go to D* as soon as I can get a HR10-250. Too bad, because I have been an eight year E* customer.

I would say that any information that pre-dates the Cablevision/YES arbitration is invalid. I would guess that Charlie was keeping talks alive in hopes that the decision would go in Cablevision's favor; since it did not, Charlie probably put a halt to it at that point. I would love to be...

Why is the EI package different by provider? JohnH is confirmed by the schedule for Tuesday: INDEMAND shows the Yankees on Channel MB07, but it is not on the DISH MLB-EI schedule. Are all YES-provided broadcasts prohibited, by reason of no in-market carriage agreement, from being carried by DISH?

Scott- realistically, do you think it's time to give up hope? I have been holding off, but I don't want to find myself in June, still thinking it might be any day.

At least one Yankee game is listed wrong: 4/6 NY(AL) vs. Atlanta.

I don't understand how YES affects the baseball package. Are you referring to Extra Innings, or some other to-be-defined package that DISH may offer that includes YES?

I don't have the numbers, so I can only speak theoretically, but I bet it's pretty close to accurate. It seems like the best way to analyze the "fairness" is to look at the number of regional subscribers and the cost to carry that region's RSN's. It makes sense to me that a region that has...

I found the Cablevision news release, and they say that YES, FSNY and MSG will be in every package above "Broadcast Basic". The rates for Broadcast Basic will rise by $.95 to cover all three sports networks. Further, and more applicable to us Dish subscribers, is that CVC will not be raising...

According to the NY Times (not that that means much :shocked ), YES will be on Cablevision's "Family Cable" tier. From the news story, I can't tell where CVC carries FSNY and MSG - it implies that last year they were an optional add-on. No mention at all of where they will be this year. I...

He said on the last Charlie Chat that they were waiting for the decision - he definitely did not (at least in that response) commit to following whatever agreement emerged. I think he was hoping for a decision that set precedent for optional carriage. If YES were forced to offer it as an...

The arbitration decision is in: YES on Cablevision's expanded basic. I hope not, but I foresee DISH customers being denied their major RSN.

The fan is much noisier than the 501 I replaced, and I have never heard it turn off. The exhaust air always feels cool, so I expect that the unit does not need to run the fan non-stop. With the fan noise, I can't judge whether the disk is always spinning. My 501 had a "wait for the disk"...

I am trying to figure out why the 921 won't let you watch live OTA with two recorders going. The only reason I see is that the buffer would constitute a third recording stream. I would think it would be technically capable of displaying the OTA if it didn't have to buffer it. Maybe a SW...

Re: Dish Depot takes CC Did Dish Depot give you an estimated ship date for an order placed today?
