You will love it! I am hoping the 921 is as good as the 721. I may buy the 921 and take the HD plunge, if my credit card will allow it. HAHA.
721 is awesome even with the few bugs...i want to get the 522 if it ever comes out

Tell me when one of your tuners quits working when you start seeing pixelating.
Krazy K,
I agree that you will love it! With 90 hrs of recording space, 2 tuners and an improved (over 50x's) epg, the 721 is a fine machine. One word of caution, don't be surprised if you have strange problems for the first 24 to 48 hrs. Many of us have had this happen. Don't worry once this period is over the 721 straightens up and flies right. Enjoy!
PS
Jacob, I have noticed a very negative tone to many of your posts lately, what happened?

Jacob is a Dish Network retailer. If you knew all the things dealers go through you would understand why he's negative. :D
For the record I love my 721. :)

Well not all things are bad, I have just seen the problems that others have been going through with the 721's lately and it has gotten me a bit gripey when it comes to Dish pver's as of lately. I will say that other than the bad tuner that the 721 is a very good product, but that one thing can really cause some problems.
I just dont want others to experience these same problems and I think the problems are great enough to where there is a greater chance of seeing the problem than not seeing the problem but I could be wrong.
I am looking forward to the SuperDish and the locals, that has made me very happy lately so I have been positive about that, but negative towards the Dish pvr's.
