Hi all. I'm another person here who needs some advice, info, and some questions answered.
I have a 625 receiver, AT 200 with no premium channels. I'm 12 months into my current 18 month contract.
I was thinking about upgrading to the 622 basically because I heard of the external storage feature and I wanted more hours to store my programs. That's pretty much the only reason I'm even considering this. I figure this would be a good time too with the 3 months of free Showtime that's being offered to current customers.
Now I don't have an HD TV. I just have SD at the moment.
From skimming some other threads here, I read that I would have to pay a $6 per month high definition dvr enabling fee because I don't have an HD TV. $6 more per month on my bill than what I'm paying right now? Is that right?
Another question I have is does DISH network offer future contracts after this current contract or is this it?
The example I was thinking of was my cell phone company Cingular. They offer me a new 2-year contract every time my current contract runs out and in exchange for me signing that contract I get a new phone. I'm on my 3rd free phone.
Does DISH network make any offer like that after my contract runs out? Like a free upgrade from 625 to 622 in exchange for another 18 month contract?
So if you were in my current situation, would you upgrade to the 622 now, or wait till my contract runs out then upgrade to the 622, or just wait till my contract runs out so I can also consider DirecTV or Charter (Comcast isn't available in my area)? Because I know if I upgrade to a 622 or whatever now I'm pretty much in it for the long haul. Otherwise that $149 I'm paying for the upgrade (although the last CSR I talked to told me $169), I'm pretty much throwing it out the window if I only have it for 6 months. And I've had minor/tolerable problems with Dish Network up to this point so I wouldn't mind being in the long haul with them but I wouldn't mind leaving either.

Sometimes a thread gets so many posts in it that is can cause issues for the server so that why today we introduce The Song Name Game Part 3!
So let the game continue!
The last song was added by Bobby who posted...
One Meat Ball - Andrews Sisters
CONTINUE ON AND HAVE FUN! WELCOME HOME TO SATELLITEGUYS.US!
Here are the original rules for the game as posted by WebbyDude back in 2006. http://www.satelliteguys.us/threads/68645-Song-Name-Game
Just name a song title and the band who performed it. The next person does the same thing, but needs to list a song title or band name which includes a word from the previous entry. Pick songs from any genre.
Example:
Long Live Rock and Roll -- Rainbow
Rainbow in the Dark -- Dio
Another example:
Ride the Lightning -- Metallica
Lightning Strikes -- Ozzy Osbourne
Get it?
An additional note: we all know that song titles, sometimes, use profane words. Because this is a family friendly website it is advised that you clean up that title up a bit. This is accomplished by using something like sh!t instead of the real word. Thanks....

Can we expect to see a new coach if we say "pretty please?"

Stargate SG-1 cancelled, Atlantis renewed
Monday - August 21, 2006 | by Darren Sumner
The future of Stargate is in question today, as SCI FI Channel has cancelled the long-running Stargate SG-1, Multichannel News reported today and a GateWorld source has confirmed. The news regrettably follows the airing of the show's milestone two-hundredth episode on Friday.
Stargate Atlantis, meanwhile, has been renewed for a fourth season, with the network hoping to see that the spin-off series can stand alone, according to a source.

Really excited for this season with Kentucky having a new coach and some really exciting recruits. Probably won't last long, but here's hoping this season is great.
