Tom, I had a similar problem. I was told when I placed my order for the 622 that I could get HD locals out of NY. They even sent off waivers. The waivers came back approved but then was told it would only be for the SD channels. I got a call from the executive office at E* and was told they...

Mine came today for a 2/21 install. Only thing is I cancelled my order the first of the week.. LOL

Since E* has a vested interest ($46 million) in a company that makes Slingbox, I would say it would be incorporate those features as a guess. Play video and control the unit over the web.

Bweiteka, What tivo receiver are you talking about?

Joseph, I would stay with D* if I were you. I just got of the phone with D* and I am their newest customer. I had been with E* for several years. I actually now believe D* has better HD programming for where I am located. I'm in Birmingham just like you and they will have our locals in HD in...

Robert, I'm leaving to.. I've already contacted D*. My monthly bill will go down and in my area, they will be adding locals in HD where as E* doesn't have any plans to in all of 2006. I might have got lucky with the CSR at D*, but she was awsome, she actually knew what she was talking about...

well thats what I just learned. She told me that they have plans on that, but could not give me a date. She just said they hoped to have that ability by years end, but could not even guarrantee that. My area is not in the list of top 50 areas getting HD locals so if I stay with E*, I have to...

Well I just got an interesting call from a Natalie(?) in the executive office at E*. I have been with them for several years and was one of the first ones to order the 622 on Feb 1st. After the normal hassle with the CSRs, I was given the install date of 2/21. I'm in Alabama and was told by...

I wonder (if true) that customer who are having them mailed direct from dish will see them soon.

Sixbears... Thats what I am screaming.. All I have ever wanted was Fox, ABC, NBC, CBS and a few nationals. I can't get OTA so I'm stuck. I'm considering going to D*. My neighbor got his weavers over a year ago and has been watching these channels in HD for a long time out of New York...

Well it looks as though the sides are divided on this issue without much swaying. As I see it the fact is that the 941/942 still work as they did the day they were purchased. Having said that, most people would NOT have paid that much money for them if they knew a year later there would be HD...

Same Channels you will forever have you mean. :) Using your automobile example - Its not features that have changed its the roads this new model car can drive on. How would you like to buy a new car and next year be told its not licensed to drive on any new roads created in 2006. Sure you...

I'm going to do the same thing I did last year. Go over to my friends house who has D* and watch it in HD there while listening to him rub it in that he has it and I don't. I guess I can take with me a picutre of my 622 that I have on order and might actually get one day! :)

Faster68, I feel your pain. You have a legitimate complaint. The issue for you was E* should have disclosed that your $700 would be outdated in 1 year. E* knew full well before the 941 was even released it was a time bomb set to expire in 2006. If you had known this you could have made an...

I have to disagree with NR2D's analogy of Microsoft and E*. While I do agree that all technology is dated and in time will be replaced with better or more advanced technology as time goes, the big flaw of E* has to do with timing. When Microsoft released Win 2000, they did not the same day...

not sure, but according to the D* forums on here, D* is more then likely going to abandon there HMC after a whole lot of work put in on it.

I have had voom for several months. I can remember watching Rave for about 2 hours the night I got it. It was cliff Diving and Extreme motocross. If you get voom today you can still watch these same to exact shows on there. I haven't watched 30 minutes of voom since then. If you will watch...

Scott, I am in full agreement with you. People make mistakes, things happen, but we are not talking about a mom and pop company. We are talking about a company that serves 12 million customers. My complaint has to do with lack of commutation. Do they not have a Director of Public...

I heard a new Charlie Chat Channel in HD. Some might think of it as a comedy channel while others might think of it as a drama channel featuring lies and deceptions. And JRB, I believe the next HD receiver will be named ViP Infinity which name indicates the year it will be released. In all...

Own it I guess. It was given to me free from E* about 2 years ago when I signed up. They had a promotion offering free equipment, free install and no contract.

I have posted in another thread that I have got an order placed for the 622 this morning with a 2/21 install date. During the order process when we got down to discussing an installation time I was asked if this 622 would be replacing my current 811. I told him no it would be in addition. He...

I called at 7am Central time. The first csr I talked to said the 622s were not available and to call back on April 1st. I didn't even argue with her, I just asked to speak to someone in technical support. (From my experience with E*, that group of people can get a few more things done then the...

I believe some of the confusion came as a result of the latest Charlie Chat. They specifically stated that Olympic coverage would start in HD on Feb 1st. Charlie himself questioned that statement while on air because the Olympics don't start on the 1st and the gentleman to his left said there...

mountain time. I just called for the fun of it and was told to call back in an hour. I'm sure when I do, I will be told to call back in another hour..
