Okay Lakebum, I don't think you really read my posts in this thread. Other than the 4 recordings at a time thing being outdated ,I didn't post anything else that wasn't true or ripped on the 922. I answered the thread starter as to which was better in my opinion ,the 922 or the 722k+sling adapter. MY comments were for the thread starter not for you are anyone else who is happy with the 922. I listed the pluses of the 922 and the negatives as well as agreed with others who saw the same defects and pluses in the 922.
I think many ,including you Lakebum, are assuming that all my posts about the 922 are going to be angry. so you don't actually READ them. And you know what happens when you assume ? I have moved past my angry feeling about the 922 ,but that doesn't mean that I am going to just see rainbows and shoot unicorns out of my butt about it. IF the 922 has improved in the last two months since I had it , then great news. But in discussing this receiver there are going to be negatives and positives discussed just like all DISH receivers.
So rather than be dismissive of anything I post because of my past anger over this receiver ,why not actually read the posts and take them as part of the conversation, not as attacks on the 922. IF my posts help alert DISH to the way the 922 was handled , marketed and how many of us feel that the 922 is not all it was advertised to be , then even better. It might deter DISH from pulling another stunt like this 922 release again in the future.
I have been a strong supporter of DISH as well as a sub for 14 years tomorrow. I said before I have owned just about every cutting edge receiver that they came out with . My dispute with them is the way they release new receivers and make us all beta testers ,why they decide what they will fix and what promised features they will cut. This whole 922 fiasco of a release must of hit home with DISH because at CES they not only didn't release a new receiver coming like the "923" that Charlie quipped about on the C.Chat, but they actually are working on releasing the sling extender 300 that was promised last year for the 922 and any vip receiver +sling adapter.
As for personal attacks , the idea of everybody making comments about anything I post and then adding their two cents is childish and it smacks of flaming. You personally might not of made a out right attack ,but you did nothing to discourage others from piling up on me. This is a mob mentality that exists on this forum that needs to be nipped in the bud. It sets a poor example for new members as well as older subs like yourself. If I have to worry about being bullied when I post , then this becomes a very hostile place to visit, and the exchange of ideas and useful information is stopped for fear of attacks and ridicule. For example I refer you to Dbstalk website and James Long as the biggest cyber bully there ever was. He is the reason I no longer post there due to his constant pms and public attacks on anything said that is the slightest bit critical of DISH . This is supposed to be the "friendly discussion forum " as the header on the home page says. Ya'll are hardly being friendly and I dare say down right hostile to me. I don't attack ya'll and I don't dismiss your comments as " out of date".
As for contributing to this forum I will continue to do so where and when I feel I need to or want to. You don't have to own a 922 to be part of the conversation. If that was the case you would be a very small minority of subs that would be talking to each other. I say for a final time and please take it to heart: IF you don't want to read my comments , PLease Don't and please add me to your ignore list. Life is to short for this crap.
