10 years with Dish and loving it. And since News Corps fee increases are so outrageous, I suspect every provider is going to fight them.

She could subscribe to Netflix and rent the DVDs or stream as the content becomes available for about $9 a month.

If it is true, you are better off to leave it as making the signal better on 61.5 will probably weaken it on 72.

Yup, out of sync for me and at my daughter's place.

I don't know whether to laugh or get angry when I see the cable ads touting no rain fade vs satellite. I had cable for 9 years and it seemed like almost every thunderstorm knocked it offline for hours. Plus cable get its content from satellite feed. It takes a real doozy of a storm for me to...

I think your installer is blowing smoke if you have no obstructions to the south. I get EA just fine (61.5/72.7) in Northern Vermont. 77 is the only one I can't get a good signal from, but that doesn't seem to be a problem.

I believe a 500 Plus will bring in 61.5/72

The Burlington, VT DMA only requires a single 1000.4 Dish for 61.5/72.7 satellites. The signal from 77 is too weak to use and not needed anyway. You will not need a wing dish for sat 110 like the tech will probably tell you because 61.5 and 72.7 take care of all our channels so make sure it is...

Will there be any peaking issues as a result of removing the 1000.4 LNB to disconnect the wing dish input? I am assuming it connects to the back of the LNB.

I just got an Eastern Arc update with a 1000.4, but the tech insisted I needed a 110 wing dish also. I've discovered this is not true and I am not getting any channels off 110 (I am an HD customer). The EA and wing dishes are mounted on separate ground posts with cabling running underground...

It depends on your DMA. Burlington, VT has been 110/119/61.5 which requires two dishes, but effective April 21, we are supposed to work with 61.5/72 and can get those with a single 1000.4 dish.

Got is resolved via chat: Me: I am being charged $10 each for Silver and Platinum HD. There should only be a single $10 HD charge (03hy) Bryan S. 67Z: You are getting Platinum HD. (03hy) Bryan S. 67Z: You will receive 11 more additional HD channels with Platinum HD for $10 a month. (03hy)...

I contacted Dish via chat and was told the Platinum HD was a separate and valid charge, but they would remove it from my programming if I wanted.

I'm having the same issue with my VIP622. Most of the time I can back it up and get the rest of the recording.

How will we receive the promotion code for the upgrade for the new HD channels? I get online billing and auto pay, so will it be emailed, snail mailed or just posted to my account? I wasn't going to worry about it yet, but just saw a $5 increase in my statement, so now I want everything I am...
