Back when I was with Dish, I had good success getting a response from Charlie using charlie.ergen@echostar.com . Every other dish employee's address uses this nomenclature so I just guessed and got a response that sure seemed to fit Charlie's style and a follow up from one of his assistants that...

I am not ready to subscribe since I only have a 5 minute commute to work but I heard them Friday night for they Ungagged show on 150 and they seemed pretty funny and ready to come back. Kind of surprising they were not more prepared with all the buildup.

OK, I just signed up in May when I got my Hr10-250, if I change my programming to get the free 6 months, does that cost me a downgrade fee or anything?

On all the DirecTiVos you can play any recording no mater how much is actually recorded at the time. In theory, you could record something and watch it essentially live the whole time if you want to. Since it has dual tuners, you can watch something previously recorded (completely) and record...

Sweet! Hopefully it will fit in the old Skyfi cradles as well.

I think it was at DBSforums, I remember it as well. Not really a close up look at the actual sats but at least a reflection from them and a listing of which was which.

All my stuff is grounded but I do not by any means anticipate it doing anything with a direct hit. In fact, the NEC requiring grounding is probably more in case the dish antenna somehow becomes energized the electricity has some place to go other than whatever random person happens to touch it...

If you have an old Dishplayer in the closet you should try selling it. You would be surprised what they are worth now, a heck of a lot more than $50.

It went well once I realized the D* switches need a seperate power line run to them, they don't use a power inserter in a regular receiver feed like E* does. I'm real happy with the DirecTiVo's so far, especially the HR10-250. :) E* gave us a little bit of a hard time but once my wife told...

Kevin, sorry about that, I had lots of stuff going this weekend so I was a little slow but we should be all set now, the Switch is going out today. Thanks. Lee

You can edit it to have nothing in it or email a moderator.

OK, after over 6 years with Dish I have recently changed to DirecTv with the HD DirecTiVo and will be selling my Dish Equipment. I have the following up for sale: (1) Dish Network 6000 receiver with 8VSB tuner module and 8PSK upgrade module, now $550 shipped via UPS Ground to the lower...

you have got to be kidding me, it is $585 right now with days left to go. I have to get mine on there immediately!

Limited allocation? Is this more limited than the 350 you originally thought you were getting?

Scott, hopefully this source has read the last few tips you got from E* that promissed all the great new info that turned out to be crap. ;) The superstation thing would be cool as that is the one thing my wife does not like about our impending switch to D* but I doubt that will happen...
