    Why can't Dish compete with cable?

    BrightHouse Network Brighthouse Network of Central Florida I pay $124.00 for their complete channel lineup. I get every (60) movie channel plus 18 HD channels. The price includes TWO SA8300HD dual tuner PVRs and TWO HD non-PVR boxes. ALL locals and non-premiums are digital. I think I got a...

    BHN Customer Service Rocks

    Recently I switched from E* to BHN and they gave me a 12 month promo. This allowed me to have an HD PVR without buying expensive Dish equipment. Last week I added a second SA8300HD and swapped out an SD box. Some how when the CSR added my new HD PVR they blew out my promo -- I knew this because...

    Lots of audio dropouts and picture freeze ups

    Yes, I called BH and they gave me a good deal for 12 months for switching back to BH from E*. You are right, the HD DVR deal with E* is very expensive. Dish wants $700 for the 942. And since they are switching to MPEG4 soon that would be money down the tube. Also, if you want the old VOOM HD...

    Lots of audio dropouts and picture freeze ups

    Same here, but I find BH very reliable. I was getting real tired of rain fade even though my dish was well peaked. I have noticed some momentary studdering on the BH HD channels, but getting HD locals over cable is still better than what DishNet offers, which is just CBS in some markets...

    why no ground?

    I had to call Dish for another professional installer to come back and ground my dish too. [still grounded but dark]

    new cust deal - very subtle trick - NO 4 TVs but 4 tuners!

    Or you could go with a cable company that offers the SA8300HD which gives you DUAL tuner HD. Plus you don't have to pay $250 for the lease.

    Does Dish Network monitor my family television viewing habits?

    Not only do they monitor they suggest programming based on your viewing history.

    Question about antenna

    I am using a Winegard Square Shooter SS2000 with pre-amp and get ALL the HD stations broadcasting from Bithlo FL. My lowest signal (89%) on the E* 811 is WESH (NBC) which broadcasts VHF not UHF. Using a Samsung SIR-T451 HDTV receiver I get maximum signal on all locals HD DT stations. I am 23...

    I am staying with Dish Network

    OK -- This is REALLY Important... I am leaving Whirlpool and going to LG. Just bought a cool new stainless fridge at Home Depot. Model number: LFRD25850ST. I don't think it has any more channels than Dish, but it is MUCH cooler:yes
