I also have NO VOD at all on my VIP622. No 501's, no "Movie more", and no "TV Entertainment". I have tried to jump thru all the suggested hoops to make it happen. Several calls and online chats to dish have produced no results. Any suggestion that there could be something wrong with the box, or HDD gets dismissed immediately by the TSR. Here is an interesting excerpt from one online chat a few days ago (before we knew about L6.13):
(24DrDcb) Deborah S: Thank you for choosing Dish Network the leader in HD and
DVR. I will be happy to assist you today. Please give me 2-3 minutes to access
your account and review the information you have already provided.
(24DrDcb) Deborah S: I am sorry, I need to check your software, can I have you
press your menu button 2 times'
ME: L612RBDD-N
(24DrDcb) Deborah S: thanks
(24DrDcb) Deborah S: I am sorry, that is not the software for the 1080p, but you
will get it, we just have not rolled it out to all 622's yet
ME: What is the version needed?
(24DrDcb) Deborah S: 600
ME: impossible, that would be a back rev
(24DrDcb) Deborah S: I am sorry, but that is the version that is needed, some
time we do back revisions
ME: this simply cannot be true, I know people with l612 that have ALL
the 510 VOD's
(24DrDcb) Deborah S: I am sorry, that is my information
What??? Backrev to what??? There never was a L6.00 for 622's (at least that was released).
Now really, can't Charlie even get the scripts right?
Something must be VERY wrong in the management chain that allows CSR's and in this case a TSR to hand out obviously wrong information. A simple "we are aware of a problem, we are not sure what the problem is yet, we're working on it" is a much better answer then outright wrong information.
Regardless, I see L6.13 is out today, maybe that will help. I am entitled to have the VOD function like everyone else, regardless of how often I may use it...... and DAMMIT, I do want IAL for 2.99 to see how it looks on my month old Sammy 1080p/24.
Shame on you Charlie, you've created some really unhappy customers over the VOD service that was promised a month ago. Many like me, long time customers that you really can't afford to lose!
