I can't believe that I'm the only one experiencing this, but I searched the forums and did not see any threads specifically discussing this.
I have a 722 in my basement home theater hooked up to my projector, and a 622 upstairs hooked up to the family TV.
For the last few months, I have noticed that sometimes when I go downstairs and turn the projector on, my Dish receiver is displaying a screen confirming that I want to order some PPV movie or event, and it looks like I just have to push the "select" button once to go through with the order. It is just me and my wife and our two young daughters, and I am the only one who operates the downstairs DVR, so I know that nobody else is doing this. The receiver must be doing it by itself.
I have not had the same problem on the 622 upstairs, but the last week or so it has also started doing this. Just a few minutes ago I was playing with my two daughters and the TV was on PBS in the background, and suddenly I saw that the PPV order screen came up. Nobody had touched the remote.
Has anybody else experienced this? I've never order PPV before, and don't even know how to off the top of my head, but I don't believe there is a single button on the Dish remote that would make this screen come up. But even if there was, I know that this is happening without anybody touching the remote.
I suppose this could just be a glitch, but it seems awful convenient for Dish that this "glitch" would just happen to bring up the PPV order screen, just an inadvertent button push away from ordering some unwanted PPV. So far, nobody has accidentally ordered anything, but it's probably only a matter of time before somebody hits the wrong button when that screen is up.
Has anybody else seen this? It looks like an underhanded trick to me.
