ok, these are just my personal thoughts on the info i have and actions dish has been doing.
Great news with the aug 15th mpeg4 conversion with voom and external hdd for the 622/722 (only). How many of you think they couldn't actually make external support for the 942? I highly doubt this is the case, i think it was all part of dishes plan. For what you ask? more money (maybe), to be the leader in the mpeg4 race (mm dont think so). If i had to take one guess, its to deal with the hacking issue.
think about it this way. you convert all HD to mpeg4, this makes it so u have to send in all old 921/942 boxes that otherwise could have been hacked into and made to receive free tv. To get the discounts on a new receiver or to be able to view HD programming. (i bring this up because dish has told all techs to send in all old receivers with 102/103 cards to dish that way they could out fit them with new chips (206) and re-release them into installs).
Then lets say that wasn't enough incentive to convert, dish then refuses to external HDDs to the 921/942 and covers it up an incompatibility issue (haha funny).
Now i must say that i have NOO issue with dish killing hackers, im just saying the way they are going at it and forcing people to pay hundreds of dollars and sending in their owned receivers to get new leased hardware( even tho a lot of people are completely happy with what they have now) is just stupid in my opinion.
For everyone else prepare for a card swap to everyone else. if you fallow dishs record they give people w/ HD the newest encryption then it trickles down to the normal customers. THis is great im glad that dish is doing this. hacking has gotten out of control and is costing us money.
Also dish quit being stupid u want to cut down on costs. Quit making 3 recievers that can do the same thing. we now have the
722 622 222 211 411 625 322 311
wow. let us shrink this 722 is the same as the 622 quit making new receivers to do the same thing. stick with one. we dont need a receiver with a bigger hdd especially if we are getting external support
the 222? why? i have heard nothing but issues w/ this reciever and its just another 211 +311 ok well then let us just say they get it to work. use this for all 322 installs (that way its all mpeg4 and u dont have to upgrade in the future)
411 was made before dish made up their minds
211 is now a great receiver let us replace it will the 222 cuz they can.
625 should be the only mpeg2 dvr used in installs no 5XX just put it into single mode issue fixed but u should be using the 622 so its in mpeg4
322 same as 625, it should take over all 311+ 322 installs but just use the 222 u need mpeg4 anyway
i have cut the list down to the 622 for all dvr installs and the 222 for all non dvr installs. this cuts down on all costs across the board and they all have the new 206 chips so they arnt hacked PERFECT FIX.
these might just be words of a very tired man. but they make sense to me.
oh and thank you dish for the great 9yrs of service hope you make good business plans and stay up and running. but please dont screw us cuz u cant keep your stuff secure.
