I have supported DISH for many years and bought tons of receivers, but got tired of spending money on equipment that does not work. I started with two 501's. then spent alot of money replacing them with 508"s. got a 510, then purchased a 721 that would not record. They finally replaced it after much hassle. Being a glutton for punishment, I spent $1000 for a 921, that NEVER work correctly. Again, after weeks of phone calls, they replaced it, right after DISH reduced the price. Being totally disgusted, I sold everything. Did I mention the money I spent on DP lnb's and 2 DP SW34's. Then I had to argue with them about my last bill, which they attempted to charge me for 2 months that I DID NOT have service.
OK< fast forward to today. I read about the Digital Home Advantage, so I phoned them to get a 625 and a 942. They informed me that because I had spent all that money on their service and equipment, and because I had put up with the abuse, I would have to sign up for TWO YEARS. Now, if I had NEVER been a Dish supporter, I could get the service with any obligation. Charlie MUST be out of his mind. NO WAY would I obligate myself for two years of unknown HD service and whether the equipment would be replaced with MPEG4 equipment.
I guess I am saying, be VERY careful when dealing with crafty DishNetWork.
