    Problem with 722 Receiver

    This is such a weird issue. The recording "part" of my 722 is absolutely corrupt. I did a Check switch with No issues. I have done several resets (soft and hard) with zero success. Is there anyway to tell if I possibly have a corrupt download from L 724? Lost is a world of Recording.

    Service Plan

    I have been with Dish 10+ years. I have NEVER had the Service plan and I have NEVER paid $15 dollars for a replacement receiver to be shipped. Being a long time excellent paying customer has its perks plus I have leverage because I am not under contract.

    OFFICIAL DISH / FOX ORDEAL DISCUSSION THREAD

    New HD local markets being launched

    I currently am "moved" to Baton Rouge. I am in the Monroe area. 77 is not cool. Dish had better be ready to absorb some cost because Direct is looking good with the locals coming real soon. I will not move back to Monroe until I can figure out what I havr to do to get my locals in HD.
