The DVR-921 support forum is completely different than all other forums on DBSTalk. This area is going to be highly moderated, so if you post a message that doesn't follow the more stringent rules, your post will either be moved to the general discussion forums, or it will be deleted.
The rules are simple: This ares is to be used for only bug reports, feature requests, and issues that the Dish 921 programmers need to see. All discussion, whining, complaining, Dish Network bashing, Directv bashing and the like will not be tolerated in this forum. In other words, unlike the rest of DBSTalk, the support forum is NOT a free-speaking forum. This is not the place to ask where to get a 921, or when they will be available in your area. The Dish Network folks are busy making the 921 a better receiver, and don't have time to wade through a bunch of useless clutter.
Dish Network programmers and engineers will be reading the messages in this forum. Occasionally, they may even reply directly. Other times, they will reply through me. All messages that I receive from the programming team will be posted here, with their permission.
To submit bug reports, please follow these rules: All bug reports must include your software version, Bootstrap version, and Flash version. These values are located on the System Information screen. After that information, describe the bug or problem. Be as specific to the steps you took to create the problem as you possibly can - the bug has a much better chance of being fixed if you are very specific in your reporting. As an example, you could say "My 921 crashed when I was recording", but that doesn't help the programmers find the bug. "My 921 crashed and rebooted while I was recording XXX show on tuner 1 from channel XXX. The crash happened when I pressed the DVR button on the remote." That's an example of a specific bug report desciption.

So, with all of that said, thanks to Dish Network for agreeing to allow DBSTalk to assist in DVR-921 support in an official capacity. Welcome aboard - it's good to have you back!
