    Dish Install---Asked for 922 said it was no longer Available

    My install went flawlessly. Installer took down my old (improperly installed) directv dishes and mounted the two dish network dishes properly. All receivers activated quickly. I like the on screen menus. I have to explore more later. Special thanks to Matt from the DIRT team for his additional help!

    Dish Install---Asked for 922 said it was no longer Available

    Thanks for all the input! I dont think I will go as far a canceling the order. My Fios and Dish are replacing TWC, which I got rid of this week.

    I finally took the plunge from E* to D*. Today was the installation and here's my impression. Installation: The installer was very nice and knew what he was doing. The only issue was the timeframe, but obviously it wasn't the tech's fault. I was quote 1-5pm. I called at 2:30pm to ask for a...

    Funny thing D* Sales Rep said about E*

    I forgot to mention Scott that the D* rep said everything from them is new, not refurbished as if to justify the higher startup cost.

    Funny thing D* Sales Rep said about E*

    We've been getting mailings from D* to come back to them (haven't been with them since 2001). So I figured what the hell, I'll call and see what they would offer me to come from E* to D*. Told them my current setup, which for D* would mean 2 HD-DVRS, and 4 regular receivers. The guy quoted me...

    We don't need Scifi HD or TBS HD we have something better!

    Dish HD VS DIRECTV HD POll (switch)

    Well overall, doesnt E* have the most premium SD movie Channels right now? After all is said and done and all of E*'s SD premiums are made HD wont E* still beat D* in the long run in that area? Or is D* planning on expanding their premium offerings to include HBO Comedy, etc.
