Mike I think you are taking things too personally. I for one have no intention of "personal attacks", so hopefully you didn't take my post that way. Try to see it from the other perspective as well. Many of us are pleased with the 922 as it is today (I think we all had some issues when it first came out). I don't know what to tell you about the 4 recordings at one time thing, but as I stated, it works for me multiple times per week with no issues. I think we are just tired of hearing the same comments over and over from you, especially since some of the information is now outdated.

I had (and still have) a 922 from the beginning. As far as bugs are concerned, it's much better than it used to be, but I'm still seeing the a problem when you try to record 4 things at once from time to time. I always record two of everything because of this bug. Usually one out of the two recordings will be ok.

There are some 722 features that are simply missing from 922 and I wish the menu system had a numeric equivalent so that you can program a numeric sequence to change things like toggling closed captions on/off.

Considering that we'll never see the web browser and DNLA is available in everything else like blu-ray players, I don't see the the benefit pf paying $200 plus $4 per month extra for the 'flagship' receiver.

Okay Lakebum, I don't think you really read my posts in this thread. Other than the 4 recordings at a time thing being outdated ,I didn't post anything else that wasn't true or ripped on the 922. I answered the thread starter as to which was better in my opinion ,the 922 or the 722k+sling adapter. MY comments were for the thread starter not for you are anyone else who is happy with the 922. I listed the pluses of the 922 and the negatives as well as agreed with others who saw the same defects and pluses in the 922.

I think many ,including you Lakebum, are assuming that all my posts about the 922 are going to be angry. so you don't actually READ them. And you know what happens when you assume ? I have moved past my angry feeling about the 922 ,but that doesn't mean that I am going to just see rainbows and shoot unicorns out of my butt about it. IF the 922 has improved in the last two months since I had it , then great news. But in discussing this receiver there are going to be negatives and positives discussed just like all DISH receivers.

So rather than be dismissive of anything I post because of my past anger over this receiver ,why not actually read the posts and take them as part of the conversation, not as attacks on the 922. IF my posts help alert DISH to the way the 922 was handled , marketed and how many of us feel that the 922 is not all it was advertised to be , then even better. It might deter DISH from pulling another stunt like this 922 release again in the future.

I have been a strong supporter of DISH as well as a sub for 14 years tomorrow. I said before I have owned just about every cutting edge receiver that they came out with . My dispute with them is the way they release new receivers and make us all beta testers ,why they decide what they will fix and what promised features they will cut. This whole 922 fiasco of a release must of hit home with DISH because at CES they not only didn't release a new receiver coming like the "923" that Charlie quipped about on the C.Chat, but they actually are working on releasing the sling extender 300 that was promised last year for the 922 and any vip receiver +sling adapter.

As for personal attacks , the idea of everybody making comments about anything I post and then adding their two cents is childish and it smacks of flaming. You personally might not of made a out right attack ,but you did nothing to discourage others from piling up on me. This is a mob mentality that exists on this forum that needs to be nipped in the bud. It sets a poor example for new members as well as older subs like yourself. If I have to worry about being bullied when I post , then this becomes a very hostile place to visit, and the exchange of ideas and useful information is stopped for fear of attacks and ridicule. For example I refer you to Dbstalk website and James Long as the biggest cyber bully there ever was. He is the reason I no longer post there due to his constant pms and public attacks on anything said that is the slightest bit critical of DISH . This is supposed to be the "friendly discussion forum " as the header on the home page says. Ya'll are hardly being friendly and I dare say down right hostile to me. I don't attack ya'll and I don't dismiss your comments as " out of date".

As for contributing to this forum I will continue to do so where and when I feel I need to or want to. You don't have to own a 922 to be part of the conversation. If that was the case you would be a very small minority of subs that would be talking to each other. I say for a final time and please take it to heart: IF you don't want to read my comments , PLease Don't and please add me to your ignore list. Life is to short for this crap.

This was my experience as well with the 4 recordings at a time. I added distant networks from L.A. when I had the 922 so I never had to record more than two or three things at a time. That way I didn't miss any of my shows. A few others on this board are saying that this problem was fixed. But you are still experiencing this problem?

Yes, but it's only happened a couple times in the last two months. Then again, I haven't recorded as much OTA during that time period.

I am a power user with 2 ota and 2 sat at a time recording during prime time just about 3 or 4 times a week. I noticed it when I had the 922 , it sometimes would miss a sat program and other times it was an ota program. No real rhyme or reason to it. The 722k still has a bug where the show will start and you will get to a point and it will freeze and then go to the end. I guess what ever receiver you get there will be bugs to deal with. The more shows you record at a time the more you will see it.

I've read ever word of your posts in this thread from the beginning. You should be able to see that from my posts as I pointed out the benefits that you left out (ie DNLA).

I didn't know that it was my job to defend you...

I record 2 ota and 2 sat all the time on the 922. No problem.

Okay, Lakebum. That is all you got out of my previous post? I obviously over estimated your comprehension of what I was trying to post. It is very exhausting trying to communicate with someone, when they only focus on one thing and exclude everything else I was trying to convey. It might not be your job to stand up for someone , but I would like to think that if you saw someone being jumped on , you would do the right thing and stand up for them. I know I stand up and do the right thing every day at work, at the prison as a correctional officer and have had to do this for going on 18 years next summer.

Well maybe I bought a bad 922, when I had it . It never reliably recorded 4 shows at a time and it never did sling in hd like my 722k does now with the sling adapter. But it looks like I wasn't the only one ,according to the other poster I responded to.

That is all I felt like I needed to respond to. I didn't know you expected a response to everything. I'm done discussing this. We know you don't like the 922, but otherwise like Dish. End of story, no need to repeat.

Man, settle down. Jeeze. Great points have been made.

That explains a lot.

I started reading this thread when I saw on the front page that 922's would be available for Dish n' it up.

I was wondering why I'd want a 922 and was going to post my own thread then I found this one.

This thread was very informative and definitely entertaining...
