Switched to D* on 1/30 and cancelled E* on 1/31. After seeing this charlie foxtrot I'm glad I did. I was a 10 year sub and would have been happy to stay on absolute. The rep was cordial about the cancellation, and I left my gear on the roof in case I decide to come back in a couple of years...

I had the exact same sequence with my "replacement" 622. I had a perfect 622 for 2 years, HDMI finally went out. They sent the replacement, obviously a refurb. It did exactly the same thing as your replacements. I didn't have the patience to try a 3rd, so I DIU'd a 722 for $75 and 24 months...

Same here. Had an original 622 perfect for a couple of years. The HDMI went out, got sent a obvious reman 622 on 1/27. HDMI out of the box flickered, and now it has started rebooting. 4 times last night in 1 hour, just did it to me twice in a row tonight. Nothing like watching recorded...

I just called to upgrade my leased 622 to a 722 and the CSR would only go for the $199 - $100 rebate, but no 6 months of free HD. :( I guess I'll just keep trying back until I find the magic CSR.

Just put a splitter on the TV2 line and feed one to each location. Works fine for me.

That's right, gettin' the shaft once again.

There is if you're an existing customer. New subs don't have to pay the lease fee for the first receiver. That's what CSR #3 on friday told me.

Just got off the phone with two different CSRs, programming credits are only for new customers. However, one CSR told me existing subs would get $10/month credits, the other told me no credits. Might try calling them up (putting the gun to my head) again later tonight to see what kind of...
