I called Dish Network this evening to check on the exact time the DVR function would become available to 211's(i.e. midnight on the 19th, 9am on the 19th). After holding for about 10 minutes she came back and said the service is "available now". So I told her to go ahead and activate it. After holding for another 10 minutes or so, the CSR said the service wasn't available for me since I'm in an MDU(apartment bldg.). Well, I had already written Dish Network last week to see if my MDU was capable of receiving this service and the tech assured me I was. So I told the CSR that, and continued to hold and hold and hold. Finally, her supervisor was able to activate the service. She said it would be 10-15 minutes until the service would be available after activation. So, I am still waiting to see if this goes through for me or not as I just got off the phone moments ago, but if you are a normal residential customer, it seems you don't have to wait until tomorrow. Activation is ready now! I will follow up here and let you know how/if my DVR functions are working.
