Bob. Can we see a copy of your work order from when you choose your next provider?![]()
Recorded programs can still be watched after deactivation, assuming you own the box its recorded on. I dont believe deactivated receivers can access EHDs.....

I understand AT120 (with HD) isn't enough for everyone, but it's always been plenty for me (save for the occasional HBO, Cinemax or Showtime subscription). Add in the VIP722k with OTA tuner and I'm set. $34.99 is a pretty nice deal and I can't get anything approaching that price with the other providers.
And with regards to movies, well, that's what they invented Netflix for.![]()
Even if everything else was even-steven, those channels alone keep me with Dish.
That's why I went with Dish in the first place - BBC America HD.
My Tivo is HD bought from a member here.
but I dont have a HD tv yet.....
Am I reading that correctly? You don't have a HDTV? But...I mean...weren't 99% of your postings about Dish and their HD or lack of it???

Just in case some might be interested, using my ViP211 and ViP722 hooked to an OTA antenna, I am getting some amazing stuff lately. But only from about 5 till 8 in the morning and it can only happen in the summer. I am recording stuff like Patty Duke and Mr. Ed from Philadelphia 125 miles away from me on the DVR. I also have external drives with lots of stuff on them.
If I switch providers, do I need to say goodbye to all of my recordings? If yes, that is a big problem for me. I even have concerts from RaveHD and movies from MonstersHD saved. I am thinking about switching but I don't want to loose that stuff. Not to mention the recordings I am getting lately via skip.
If there was a way to save what I have, I would switch to D* at this point too.

The picture for an SDTV is much better from a VIP that from the SD channel of the same thing.What confused me is someone who wanted a ton of VIP duo receivers when they had no HDTV. Especially when that person bought them for the same price you can get a cheap HDTV these days.
Plus, with all SDTVs, why not just have one receiver and use the agile distribution for the remainder? Bob, are you not a divorced guy living by yourself? Do you need that many tuners?

That is very true. Although, I have my HDMI distributed to multiple HDTV's, I also ran a backfeed to them, so that if a guest comes, I can swap the receiver to dual mode and let them watch individually. Watching an HD channel through the modulator looks way better than watching it's bit starved SD counterpart.

Bob , I'm right with you , I've had enough! I'm waiting for my return box for my 722.
And I'm Done.
I really am starting to hate my HR 23 though. The more and more I use it the more and more I find bothersome issues. I will greatly miss the VIP's.
But not Charlies Lies!
