I had no idea the wireless phone jacks were so expensive! I told them they could send someone out to check my setup without an appointment, as this would prevent me from "covering my thieving butt" before they come. This apparently won't work either. I'll know more after the call from the...

There is a phone number in the letter. I called it and talked to a rep and supervisor. They said my options would be explained in detail when i was contacted by phone by the people handling the auditing of accounts. They were very nice and told me that they were sure there was a way to work out...

I got the same letter. I have 5 DVRs. I was told to expect a call in the next 3 weeks. It has something to do with an audit of accounts with more than 4 receivers, or so they say. They made it sound like I need to hook-up the wireless jacks, or ... well they didn't say. lol, Tho the implication...

Boomerang, When my TV was out for service for 2 weeks, I was forced to use the 721's front inputs. I had a similar experience. I found I had to turn the 721 off then back on when the picture on the front inputs was horrible. For some reason this fixed the picture till the next time. I certainly...

Stargazer, No problem. This "upgrade" has certainly been a major letdown.

Stargazer, Not exactly, the 50x's never had the pad feature, the 721 still has it but just up to 29 minutes (which most of us hate). If you want more padding you then use the edit feature just like you do on the 500 series. So the 721 is still better in this respect, but not as good as it was.

Stargazer, You must not own a 50x or else you would know that the pad feature available on the 721, is not available on the 50x line. The only way to pad a timer you create from the guide is to edit it. The only other way to create an extended timer is to manually create it from scratch. But...

Occassionally when i scroll thru my recorded programs list, it will suddenly stop like i am at the end ... but i'm not. It is like it gets stuck. I never had this happen before the update. Also I'm still seeing a black screen when coming out of watching a playback of a recorded program. This...

You are just fine, as the 721 has a year warranty. Just call dish and they will send a replacement. Sadly, I have a lot of experience with this. I own 5 dvrs, and have replaced more than a few. Good luck!

I agree with the idea of a timer option of tue- sat for late nite recording. Excellent idea.

Yes, I've seen it work on several of my machines, including my 501. I find a screensaver if i leave them on unattended for more than 4 hrs.

People keep mentioning CC autopay and the timing with paychecks. Why?? You have 30 to 45 (aprox) days to pay your credit card bill after the charge is made. I have had CC autopay for yrs. First on Directv in the nineties and Dish since 2000 and never had one problem.

DBStalk has a dvr comparison chart posted that says 90 hrs. My 721 adds up rite now to 88 hrs. When it is empty it says 90 hrs. I know this for a fact. I just got a replacement a short while ago. I also remember being puzzled by the 90hrs when i bought it cuz i thought it would have over 100...

Scott, the 721 has 90 hrs of recording time.

I thought bob haller said this machine had a 120 gig hard drive?? What is this talk about 80 hrs? Which is it? thanks

Anyone have any thoughts on the price??? More or less than the 721??

thanks bob

Help me out here, I can't download. How big is the hard drive? How many hrs can it record? Anything else interesting? Does it have the 721 guide or the 50x?? Thanks in advance.

Thanks Scott for the info on the sleep mode. We are really running you ragged.

Scott, As usual good job. I assume if the 721 is recording or set to record, the sleep mode will be ignored?

Bill, So that is how you did it. Don't you know magicians never reveal the trick. Good job. Thanks for the link!

I can't speak to the audio problems, but my 721 is having an occasional problem with freezes when jumping forward or fast forwarding. I hope the new software clears this and a few other things up!!!

Scott I want to thank you. I read this info when you posted it in another forum. I then called dish and am getting one of my 501's upgraded to a 510 for $99 tomorrow. Heck other than your post no one else had the info, including the first csr i talked too.

By the way I lost 110 which has my locals!

Bill, thanks for the info. How the heck did you find out what the problem was so fast? You should work for our power company. We could have used you a couple weeks ago, we had a little outage then too.
