Like others, I sometimes have a tendency to dwell on the negative. So I thought I'd relate my experiences today with an upgrade to a 722 - going to HD baby! I have a question at the end too.
I called last Saturday and was given a time between 12 and 5 today, Thursday. Last night, I received a call from the automated system confirming the appt. Today I received a call about 12:30 saying the technician would arrive in a half an hour. He showed up right on time.
I already had a Dish 500 for 110 and 119. He could not get a line of site for 129 (thank goodness) or 61.5 from that dish (on a pole in the yard). He installed a second dish for 61.5 on the house. He was neat, polite and very conscientious. He did a nice clean install. I'm very happy with his workmanship.
My question is should an HDMI cable have come with the receiver? I didn't see one and forgot to ask. I have no need for it now. The HD TV is now on order and I won't need it until it arrives. I didn't want to spend the money on an HD TV if couldn't get HD because of LOS issues.
