who knows or cares if they know what i am viewing? i mean, your interenet service provider can tell what websites you go to, your telephone service knows who you call and you calls you and your banks/creditors know your financial habits. if you have onstar in your car, they know where your driving habits. based on all that, records of what you watch are pretty harmless if you think about it. hell, if i leave my remote address on 1, i can tell what my neighbor watches when his uhf remote changes my channel lol. yeah, i know privacy has been lost in our modern day, but when you compare it to what else is out there, this is either small potatos, or it is 60 bucks a year. your call buddy!
oh, one more thing, if your dual tuner is connected to a phoneline, it does call in once a month and give reports on your signal strength and on frequency of signal losses. it also gives a lot of info that help the techs fix any problems you might have if you call in. and if your reciever reports exessive signal loss, a dish tech will actually call you and offer a free service call to fix it. you cant take advantage of that without the phoneline.
