$549, 921 - Did you Buy?

[ocaddict]

Jees man. Sounds like you are living the life of luxury for sure.

but what's an OTA HDTV DVR cost?

My POV - I could spend $300 on an HDTV OTA receiver or get this and take my chances on the MPEG4 thing. A few months ago I purchased the Samsung OTA HDTV receiver to see the local channels in Atlanta. It was nice but I ended up returning it to CCity in the end. I just ordered my 921 from the DishStore, lets see how it works out.

I am just a little crazy about man's toys As of now, I had whole house equiped with 2 811s, 3 921s and one 721. With Sharp 45" and 26" LCD, Mitsubish 30" LCD and 55" RPTV, and Samsung 50" Plasma. 721 is with an old SHarp LCD front project. Like I posted on another topic, I just "support" wife to buy shoes every week and visit mall every other day, in trade of keep my toys up to date Almost forgot, I make sure to tell her that I bought all of those for her

I guess I will take a break for now COuld not find any more excueses for more toys

Dude! Right On! I wonder if I can make it work for me?

Radio Shack has them, In the product info they still list dishwire...

I ended up swapping out for all DishPro on the roof and dropping three lines to the basement where I put the 34 switch - now I can add as many receivers as I want right from there! Thanks for the help both here in teh forum and by Claude Greiner at the dishstore.

The picture is fantastic on my Samsung 42 DLP - the 921 hasn't given me any real problems, especially after the software upgrade. My OTA channels are great (so glad we moved closer to the city - Atlanta) and DiscoveryHD makes the kids Oooh and Aaaah. Me, I cant get enough football and action movies.

549.00 + 8% sales tax

I paid 549 to E* for the 921 and they charged me 8% sales tax. Free install, after two no show appointments and a late third.

 

[dfergie]

Still enjoying mine...

Its a "virtual" feature with vaporware support.

Getting freezing on dvr programs and when I go to livingroom where it is at I hear HDD knocking... getting ominous vibes from a really good dvr receiver...

CLEAR

we have a pulse

 

[dfergie]

Actually tonight all is good, I watched the rest of Jericho, then Csi NY and Csi with no problems and no ominous sounds...

 

[dfergie]

Went to turn it on a little while ago, its got the dreaded Dish network HTDV round emblem up and knocking bad, the lights on front are flashing from red to blue to orange... R.I.P. 921....

 

[dfergie]

New 921 on way...

 

[lakebum431]

Sure you don't want to trade that puppy in for a new 622?

 

[dfergie]

Not for a lease... I already have one 622 I own, they wouldn't deal with me for a swap to purchase another...

 

[dfergie]

Got the replacement in, hooked up and waiting for authorization... now musical receiver time again

Boy this is an old thread. I was trying to figure out why anyone would pay $549 for a 921?, then I noticed the date Can't you upgrade to a 942 or something, the 921 was such a headache.

921 number 2 dead, 921 number 3 on the way... I had a leased deal for a 622 shipped until the tech checked and said a tech would come out and install when they could get one... I said no, send me the 921 (I prefer to install and own my equipment, plus the fact when you have been burglarized you tend to get skittish about letting any strangers into your home)
