    Who was the problem, me or the Service Techs?

    I would have been fine with those suggested solutions. But those ideas were not mentioned. In the past I have swapped my own receivers that went bad with no problems. Thanks for the feedback, I understand. Norm

    Who was the problem, me or the Service Techs?

    Yes, Telephone Tech support had me look at that. After they replaced the dish and LNBs from a 1000.4 to 1000.2 Eastern Arc, that did not fix it. But changing the receiver did fix it.

    Who was the problem, me or the Service Techs?

    I should clarify that point. Infact that is what he said, that he couldn't go on the roof without a harness. I didn't watch him go on the roof to say that he did or did not use one. My point was that he was complaining, to me, that the dish was on my roof. Placed there by previous Dish...

    Thanks Dishman! Good stuff!

    Who was the problem, me or the Service Techs?

    Thanks for the replies. I thought the first Tech could have saved a lot of time if he had checked inside to see that the signal strength on the cable was okay, just the receiver was bad. Although he said they wanted to change the dish anyway. Not sure why. Seems like the dish and LNB was...

    Who was the problem, me or the Service Techs?

    I've had Dish for coming up on 10 years. A happy customer, and have not had any problems in several years. But I just had a 2-part service call completed, and it left me somewhat scratching my head wondering. I have a 722 DVR. Occasional pixelation and lost signal started several months...

    Switched to EasternArc but dish still thinks I can watch PPV on 119W?

    Thanks for your answer, sir. I am in the same boat. I have 2 PPV certificates that expire soon.

    Switched to EasternArc but dish still thinks I can watch PPV on 119W?

    I was following (not too closely) the problem with 77, and I had read in another thread in a post today by Matt@Dish that 77 was supposed to have HD PPV ch 508-515. So you're saying ch 520 is the same situation?

    Switched to EasternArc but dish still thinks I can watch PPV on 119W?

    Tonight I was thinking about ordering a PPV movie. Went to the dish website, and noticed the movie I wanted to watch was on ch 520. This channel is not in my guide. Doing some digging on the satelliteguys channel chart, found this ch is on the 119W bird. On the other hand I also see movies...

    New DISH Network Customer Portal

    Looks good. I say the more information you can get without calling a CSR, the better. I also, as others have said, found out I have 2 PPV coupons issued 7/29/10. Does anyone have any idea why I got these? Not that I'm complaining!

    They decided since it was only a "few" channels and not "several" that they could fit it in today! ;)

    DISH Network June 3rd FAQ's

    I have America's Top 200, and pay $10/month for HD Silver, NO Platinum. I have had autopay and paperless billing for years. I think I already meet all the requirements. Do I need to take any action? Or does this mean if I call up and ask, my bill will drop by $10/month for the same...

    for those with a 522 or 625, remote Access is now up and running

    [Rant on] Actually that has never made sense to me. When I set a new timer, it is a good bet I care about recording that show more than older timers I may have forgotten about. Please Dish Network, make the priority default to number 1 for ALL new timers! [Rant off]

    TIVO vs E*

    In plain english it means nothing to you now. The most likely outcome of all of this is no impact ever to any Dish customers in any way. It simply means E* will probably pay a chunk of money to Tivo, either to buy a license or buy the company. E* has the money to do either one, and the bottom...
