Thanks for the recap. In my 9 years as an E* sub, that had to have been one of the worst chats ever. I had a really good question which the operator couldn't answer.
Q: For those subscribers that have a 921/942 and all of the required hardware Dish 1000 or 61.5 and don't need an installer to come to the house, is Dish going to offer a ship only option?
A: Ummmmm. Really good question. Let me check. Ummm. We might, but it will be the same price as if an installer came out.

"Thank you for calling the Charlie Chat contest line. Your call will be answered in the order it was received. If a winner is announced before your call is answered, you will be disconnected." Good lord, I wish I had a dollar for everytime I heard that. Well, up until 10:15 when I heard a busy signal.
It was hell trying to watch Jack Bauer and hold the phone just far away from my ear to hear the T.V.

Damn, I wish I hadn't watched the CC and instead read the recap here. Pitiful waste of an hour plus of ones life . I haven't watched any in quite awhile and should have stuck to my gut feeling. Won't be watching anymore for sure. Gerry

9:35 PM – They reviewed their HD Dish’n it up plans. The $200 credit is applied to your bill once they receive your 921 or 942 that you’re trading in. Standard Dish’n DVR upgrades $98 w/installation for a Dual Tuner DVR, $49 for a single tuner DVR, no install needed.
I wonder if we could upgrade now and send the box back after 4-1-06 for the rebate?

I'm thinking the same myself. My 921 refuses to turn on in my basement (It gives me the coin, says downloading from satellite, and then .... nothing. No picture, menu button doesn't work, nada..... I was hoping to get it working since I had a couple episodes of the Shield and ER I hadn't watched . Oh well...
They have previously twice announced that the $200 rebate would only be available for orders placed on or after 4/1. I wouldn't try ordering in March and hoping to get it.

Is this a price increase for upgrading to a Daul Tuner DVR? According to the web site I
can upgrade to a Dual Tuner DVR for $49. When does this price increase take effect?
I am thinking about upgrading one of my 510s for a 522 (625?). I was going to wait until
the snow melts so they could trench in the additional satellite feed at the same time. If the
price is going up maybe I should upgrade my 510 now before the price increase.

No, it is not a price increase.
Right now the options are that you can "upgrade" to a dual tuner non-DVR (211) receiver for $49.
Or you can go to the dual tuner DVR (622) for $299.
Those who have 921s or 942s have the option of trading them in for a $200 credit against this upgrade after April 1.

Having tried a 921 for a few days before it died, I think I agree with you. Nothing but problems with it. I bought it used from a private party. Even though the warranty is not officially transferrable, Dish is sending me a replacement anyway. Will see how the replacement does. I'm not optimistic, but at least it will have some resale value and my current 921 is worthless (dead).dishcomm said:
The 501, several years old now, continues to work very well. Its great to have it to fall back on!
Thanks for the recap, bfg. I'm seriously glad I didn't watch it.
A few more weeks and I'll call and order a 622. Wish I could transfer what's on my 942 to the new box. Especially the BSG episodes...

I am asking about the SD receivers not the HD. Is the upgrade price for the
dual tuner SD DVR (522 or 625) going up to $99?
Mark
Oh, okay. The quote you had in your message was about the HD upgrades.
I don't remember any talk about SD upgrades during the Chat.
