A Note From Scott on New HD

[DishGuy1181]

Scott, whether it comes this week or not, it does NOT change how a lot of us appreciate the effort that you give to the site.

SATELLITEGUYS is by far the BEST source of information on the web.

Keep on keepin on!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I second that

This the only site I go to and get the information I need

I totally agree. Why can't Dish fix things that are broken. It looks like it is just as hard for Dish to communicate with it's own people. I know Dish is a big company but come on. All big companys do not act like this.

I'd like to know about those big companies that communicate well internally. I haven't found one yet, and it would be refreshing to work for one that does.

Good to see Richmond, come on Norfolk.

Are Norfolk HD channels going on 61.5 my dad just had HD installed 2 weeks ago and they only gave him a 110/119/129 dish?

If they do go on the 61.5, don't be mad at the installer. We're always the last ones to know anything.

It's on Dish. We can only install for the sats listed on the work order.

I realize its not the installers fault I just think E* needs to think ahead a little.

Thats what I heard. I just had mine installed on Thu and I only got a 1000.2 also. Will be funny if they bring Norfolk hd lils online next month and we have to get a 61.5 dish

Don't laugh too hard. The Dish tech who installed our wing dish for the Austin HD locals on 61.5 last week, was headed to install a wing dish for a new HD subscriber where he had installed a single 1000.2 just two days before Dish made the Austin HD locals available. Of course the Austin HD locals were already up-link to 61.5 when he did the 1000.2 install. So NO, Dish does not think ahead

And OBTW I was the one who explained to the Dish tech WHY he had so many 61.5 wing dish installs on his things to do list that day. After all I had access to the actual up-link report and had direct feedback (w/ pictures) from SatelliteGuys.US members

BTW if Dish did tell the installers to put a wing dish in before the HD locals were available, how exactly would they explain the need for a 2nd dish to a subscriber without "spilling the beans"?

Some of you guys need to use a little imagination.

Reasons for an unexpected delay:

- The guy who usually does _____ has been out sick all week, OR
- The computer system usually used for _____ is having intermittent problems, OR
- The _____ was supposed to be delivered to the Uplink Center yesterday, but it has yet to arrive, OR
- The plasma conduits are out of adjustment, and "ye canna change the laws of physics, cap'n!"

PS Take the money, Scott - you earned it !

You're right and I hope I didn't come across as "you better not be mad at your installer...."

I was just showing irritation with Dish.
