I found this site while searching for info on the Dish Network PVR721... what a wealth of information!
I've never owned satellite TV before, mostly because local channels were only recently added to Dish Network (and DirecTv has no plans to offer them in my area). After upgrading to Comcast digital cable, I was disappointed at the channel lineup... no MSNBC, Court TV, Fox news... the list goes on. The last straw was finding out I needed to pay an extra six bucks a month to get an additional package with Speed Vision, bringing the total to $67 a month with about 50 channels and HBO.
Since I was looking at PVRs, I could add an extra ten bucks a month with cable, and there's no additional fee with the Dish PVR.
Anyway... thanks for all the great info (especially Scott!). I ordered a 721 and should have it up and running by the end of the month.
