I'm about a month away from making this same decision but as someone who's been using the TV2 SD output on the 622 for over a year, I can't give up the DVR access at the 2nd TV location. You should think carefully about this. Will you record things on the 622 DVR and be OK without having access...

Maybe I can help clarify why it's so necessary. My wife and I will sit down for TV watching a good hour after the primetime shows have started. We watch a bunch and then get tired and decide to pause, go to the bedroom, then finish up watching the shows. It's that simple. It's just a matter of...

I'm sorry if this has been discussed before, I didn't see anything. I was plenty content with the 622 TV2 SD output for a while but like so many others, I want an HDTV in my bedroom. Frankly after a couple years running both primary displays off a single DVR, there's no way I'm going to...

Hmm, good thoughts here but I don't think any of them will work for me. I suppose I could pull an additional RG-6 for a total of three to do component to the bedroom. It's a far run, something like 100ft. It just so happens to be the furthest room from my TV1 location. I think the most...

I have the 622 and like the TV2 output functionality due to the DVR sharing. I used to simulate this on cable by using an IR repeater and loved ditching that system. Like most people, I'm thinking of upgrading my bedroom TV to a 1080p LCD and would like to get it an HD feed but I don't want a...

Right, the 622 will be it.

I tried searching for a while but can't find a conclusive answer. I'm having HD DVR Advantage 200pack with HBO and HD installed tomorrow. I'm in NJ and wondering which and how many dishes they'll put up and how many RG-6 runs they'll need to the 622. I had the dish500/300 combo with the...

I was hanging on to local cable, gliding on a big 2-year discount to steal me from Dish. Well, time's up and so is the price. Will I qualify for the DVR Advantage + HD with Two Tuner HD DVR and free install now that 2 years have passed? If so, I should probably take down any equipment that I...

Cablevision in NJ stole me from Dish exactly two years ago by offering me the silver pack + 2 tuner HDDVR for $60/m first year and 75/m second year with no commitment, activation or lease upgrade BS. Now that it has gone up to full price $85, I start scouring dishnetwork.com only to find the...

Seriously, I want to come back to Dish but they make it impossible. I had dish from 98 to 03. Cablevision lured me with a ridiculous $59/m for the first two years including two tuner HD DVR with essentially equivelent to the DISH silver channel lineup with HBO. What a no brainer. I've...

Carl, Does that include any "previous satellite customer" deals from Comcast? As I mentioned, Cablevision really sweetened my deal by offering $20 off per month in the first year, then $10 off the second year. They also waived the cable box lease fee of $5 per month. Granted, I'm in the second...

Sonny, I was a dish customer for 5 years prior to disconnecting last year so I know all about the joy and sorrow ;-) I'm really just comparing service/price and they came up short this year just like last year when cable made two-tuner HD DVRs available. I did go through the list of...

The CSR also pointed out that they have the most HD content. Well... I reviewed what I'm currently getting and what I'd get with Dish: CV: CBS, NBC, FOX, ABC, Thirteen, MSG, FSN, ESPN, HBO, Starz!, INHD, Universal HD (they also have TMC, showtime, and Cinemax in HD but I don't get those in my...

I dropped dish last year when I finally wanted HD content. I had the 721 receiver and wasn't prepared to pay for the 921 plus the additional monthly fees. Cablevision was offering two-tuner HD DVR for an extremly low 12-month rate including HBO, HD channels (basically the equiv of Dish's...

I think the cable companies are very desperate to get satellite customers and they'll probably waive a few fees for the first year at minimum. No UHF remote? Not a deal breaker, just get something like the Terk LF-IRX for $30 shipped. That's what I just did. Bobby

I'm assuming they'd offer the same deal for the Gold package with $20 off the normal price for the first year and $10 off for the second year. Quite honestly, I don't really care who offers the better deal because I really don't have any loyalty to content providers. The 8300HD box has a nice...

Well, since my original post, it's official. I got Cable installed. The installer was a well spoken, knowledgeable guy and even gave me the extra remote that he threw in the box by mistake. By the way, the deal even includes the SA 8300HD box for the first two years so they waive that $5 rental...

I emailed Cablevision about once a month for the past year saying that I'd never consider them competition until they offered a two tuner HD DVR. They finally listened and yes I'm going to take sole credit. First, let me say that I've been with Dish for 4 years and I've had a 721 DVR for the...

I'm very convinced that Dish's CSR group was outsourced to India. I tried explaining that I have the 721 and it WILL take about 4 minutes to reboot the machine. Oh well, it didn't compute and I got the "what do you see now" every 5 seconds until I stopped responding. Bobby

I'm in the same mess, sort of. I've been a happy 721 with AT120 pack user for the last 3 years. I purchased that receiver outright because I was a previous customer. By the way, I use it as a two room receiver by splitting the output and using an additional UHF remote in the bedroom. I know...

As an addicted DVR user, I've been waiting for the HD answer to my 721 receiver for a while. When the 921 came out, it was way too expensive. Now that it dropped in price, I'm almost about to buy. Enter the rumors of the 942 and I'm back in the waiting game. I currently split my 721 output to...

I timeshift everything I watch period. If I'm going to watch HD, that too must be timeshifted. I still don't have HD content because I'm too nervous to drop even $550. I think back to when I decided to buy my 721 and how hard it was to swallow the $550 for that. At least at that time, it was a...

I believe this is a new bug. If I have two timers set to launch at 8pm and I'm watching another slightly time delayed channel just prior to that launch, The guide screen claims I'm recording both timed programs, but the PVR screen does not show one of them. I must do a hard reboot to clear up...

Any rumored timeframe? I read through the entire thread but nobody mentioned a rumored rollout date. Are we talking Xmas 04 or Summer 05, etc? I am dying to get HD DVR without the $900 outlay + $15 more a month. I'm stuck with a 721 and front projection system that is begging for more res...
