Hello all,
I'm sorry to whine on my 1st post, but I'm looking for options. I have been using a vip722 receiver for the past couple of years. I also always used my over the air antenna to record network shows to the dvr using the Antenna In port on the back of the receiver. Well, my 722 quit working and dish sent out a tech to fix it. I was at work when he was here. The tech ended up replacing the receiver with a version of the 722 that does not have the port in the back for my antenna in. I called dish and they told me to unscrew the a back panel and I would find the port there. However there is no port there. I called back again and was told that I would have to pay dish $50.00 for a box to slide in there. I don't understand why I have to pay another 50 bucks to have the same features as my older receiver. I have the service plan and everything too Another problem is that this receiver has horrible lag when accessing the guide. How can a newer box be worse than an old one? I'm thinking about just sending the new receiver back and using a HTPC. Any thoughts?
