Do you get the channels on your receiver? Mine didn't show up on my account online until the next day but I got the channels almost instantly (15 minutes or so).

I went home at lunch to check , but they were not there. That was over an hour after the chat.

I just used the Chat feature and had it added in about 5-10 minutes and I didn't have to talk to anyone I couldn't understand !! MERRY CHRISTMAS !!

I signed up, via chat, about 45 minutes ago but still no channels. I do see that they changed my billing preference to paperless already (I already had auto pay).

Sounds nice but I'm gonna pass this one, online payment is cool but I don't trust autopay. When they screw up the billing, it's much easier to argue with them about it when they don't already have your money!

After an hour I went back on chat with technical support and the channels were turned on within minutes. It's also showing up on my account on DishOnline.

That's why you use a credit card...you have more leverage with "Mr. Chargeback" if they don't do things right.

Just got in as well through chat...took about 10 minutes (my crappy dialup connection didn't help). Now I wait and see what (if any--hope not) problems pop up.

Thanks a lot for this tip hdhead!!!

I just called and got the 2 years for 0.02 cents deal. Unfortunately, the women I spoke to was very difficult to understand, and I was on hold for about 7 minutes while she checked with her supervisor about the automatic renewal for the 2nd year...But, she switched me over paperless billing and hooked me up with the 1 cent Cinemax deal, so I really shouldn't be complaining!

When I signed up they were turned on within 5-10 minutes. It didn't show anything on my account online till today (2-3 days later). It states under My Programming, in the International, A La Carte or Add-ons section "1 YR CINEMAX PENNY OFFER".
