I ordered my 622 on 2/1 and setup an install date of 2/25. The receiver came today, so I hooked it up (I do like the new interface).
When I called to activate it, I was told they couldn't do that until someone came out to do an install, because I needed two connections. I already have 2 connections, and then they said I needed the Dish 1000 to get the new HD channels. Fine - except the person who took my order on 2/1 didn't set it up to have them install the Dish 1000 at that time.
The guy had to redo the order, and doing that lost my order date. The next earliest one was 4/1! So I've paid $300 for this damn thing and now I have to let it sit here for a month and a half. What awesome service.
Has anyone had any luck in getting them to activate the current channels?
Anyone know if I'll get dinged the $13.33 per month if I cancel it now and return the 622? This is a joke, and I just want to return it, cancel my service and get the HD DVR from DirectTV.
