Returning to D*

[darrencp22]

Was with D* a while back, decided to try out E*. There are many reasons why I decided to switch to D but the main reasons are YES Network, MSG HD, Scifi and FX.

I just hope I made the right call. I've gotten very used to that 622 and it is the only reason i've been hesitant.

As one of many converts over here - I assure you, I'll be fine. I have ZERO buyers remorse and the HR-21 is a pretty slick device so far. I actually prefer it!

When you see BSG in HD next Friday you'll know you made a good decision! (Assuming you're a BSG fan of course!)

For me, it was formulaic. I said months and months ago that the BSG season premiere was my hard deadline. I stuck to my guns on that.

Sci FI is one of the reasons too. Big BSG fan.

Welcome, Darren. I see your Sept 1 then June 1 dates have moved up substantally. . I switched over a week ago but my reason was SpeedHD. I am coming to grips with the HR21 and have found how to do what I want with it, but can somone tell me WHY D* cannot group programming together? That is my only complaint. I have made a Custom listing for MY channels but I think the guide, while it works, is just a mess to go through.

Your gonna hate the HR21 for awhile. But after you've drinked yourself into a stupor for several nites in a row, you'll bottom out and finally come to accept the HR21.

Bwahahahahahaha.

But, seriously, it's a very functional unit and you two will get along fine.

I punch in the channel numbers on the remote. Only problem is I punch in Dish channel numbers. I still have to get use to the channel numbers when I am not using the guide.

Y'all need to get a media universal remote where favorites are listed in an LCD screen. I have the Home Theater Master MX700 that has 50 favorites and the Harmony 880 with 16.

Dish just turned on SciFi today

 

[darrencp22]

Unfortunately no MSG, Yankees or FX... i'm making this decision for the long term. I know the D is going to be the cutting edge provider.

Too little, too late for this convert. I'm glad to see them on track though - I was worried! E* has a lot of catching up to do but they'll get there. It's a game of leapfrog and always will be.

Welcome back! I'd be happy to assist with any questions once you are up and running. I think you'll be happy with the HR2*. I personally think most people who talk about how bad it supposedly is have never even used it.

I agree about the HR21. I have already found something the remote will do that my 622remote would not. Control the volume on my Yamaha receiver. My Wife is very happy about that.
