Broke my 921- Dish sent a 942!

[ScooterS]

The video went out on my 921. I used my trusty $199/month service contract and dish sent me a new receiver.

In this case they sent me a 942. Have others received this "swap" when their 921 died??

 

[dfergie]

not the same thing but... When my 6000u died they sent me an 811...

For $199.00/month, they should have sent you a 622!

For $199.00/month, they should have sent you a 622!

Yeah...and for $199 a month they ought to deliver your receiver in a limousine!

 

[Mark_AR]

I think Scooters meant $1.99.

Unless he meant the DHPP $5.99.

 

[ScooterS]

Yes, Yes, Yes, $1.99 service contract.

That's what I get for typin' without my glasses!!!

 

[DucTape]

Not for me last week, lucky dog you.

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

Thats a nice upgrade Scooters. Of course the only reason they did that was they heard you provide great choufour service in Las Vegas.

Enjoy the 942!

When my 921 died they sent me another 921-no charge (have a service contract).

I also got a 942 as a replacement when the hard drive on my 921 died about two weeks ago. It was a nice surprise.

choufour service?

What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas.

Hey, Hey, Hey Nuts4Scuba.... don't go there!
I was Scott's "Roadie" for part of CES in January.

 

[nuts4scuba]

I figured he meant chauffeur, but I couldn't resist.

 

[lakebum431]

I wonder if they just have several extra 942s now that people are trading in for 622's.

You said "new" but just to clarify, it wasn't a refurbished unit, was it ?? In some cases, you'd be hard pressed to tell if it was or not but the box it came in or the case itself should have a sticker or something indicating refurb'd.

 

[ScooterS]

Yes, upon further review, it is a remanufactured replacement unit...

Still, a bad day with a 942 is better than a good day with a 921.

 

[David_Levin]

Starting to sound like Dish wants to get all the 921s out of the field. Probably cheeper then continuing to try the fix the bugs....

Still, replacing with 942's doesn't completely make sense. If in the next year (or two) they want to move all HD to mpeg4, then 942's will have to be swapped as well.

 

[ScooterS]

Replace 942 with 622......hummmmmm. Time will tell!

 

[dlsnyder]

Hmm... So if I bought a 921 on Ebay and put it on my account with the $5.99 warranty program, would they send me a 942 if it broke?

GO for it and let us know. I would hate to get stuck with that boat anchor of reciever if they didnt.
