I received an email to join. I went through the registration process and
downloaded software as my PC met the requirments by having Windows 7.

Then I was instructed to go to Dish Home on my receiver. Select the
service menu and then select Dish Panel. The Dish Panel was not there. I
checked the trouble shooting on the registrartion. Guess what??? My only
receiver a VIP222k was not on the list of supported receivers. I then
uninstalled the software and canceled my Reasearch Panel Registration.

THANKS FOR WASTING MY TIME DISH!!!

Before anyone signs up for this I highly advise you to read the terms of
the agreement for the software that you HAVE to install before you can
take part in this panel. A third party vendor will be able to monitor
ALL of your internet activity. They have some wording about credit card
and banking information that they may collect but, frankly, I just don't
trust a vendor that collects ALL my internet activity. Who knows where
or who may get a hold of that data?

Aw cmon,....This is from DISH.
And we all know Dish would NEVER take advantage of their customers, or make
extra bucks at their expense.

Wow. Reading the FAQ, this sounds just like any of those "fill out
surveys and get free prizes" scams you can find everywhere on teh
Intarwebs.
