If I'm not mistaken Dish has not paid its stockholders a dividend since December of 2004!!! Under normal circumstances the stockholders would be wondering why the company was not profitable and would be looking for new leadersip by now.

Thank goodness I only have 6 more months with E*. I fell for their promise of HD locals and wasted my money on "lease upgrade" for 622 and 211 last March. I get excellent HD pics for all local channels using Terk antenna and built-in ATSC tuner of my newest TV. I am switching to D*. I am...

Looks like all those channels are MPEG-4 now.

Thanks for reminding me about Indianapolis HD locals coming "soon" aka "never". :mad:

Well, just got off phone after 45 minutes and 3 CSRs, including one supervisor. Lo and behold, I was being charged the "additional receiver access" charge when I should not have. I had to read them the information from the AT&T website as to the waiving of the fee about 7 times. However, I...

I have a 622 and 411. Both are connected to the phone line. I have Platinum HD. I am being charged $6 rental fee and $5 additional access fee. Is that correct?

I have been an Illinois Bell/Indiana Bell/Ameritech Indiana/SBC Indiana/AT&T Indiana customer for over 38 years. I was a cable tv guy for 27 years, but was sick and tired of promise of digital cable since 2000 with no results. I was the first person in my town to have SBC/Dish (there was a...

I finally got Terk amplfied antenna from amazon.com for $76 and installed in the attic. At first tried the OTA connection on my 211/411 and could only get about half the Indy channels and could not keep any of them locked for any length of time. Hooked up the antenna to my 50" Samsung DLP's HD...

Do any of you have any suggestions about this pain I have that you are giving me?

You're all missing the point I am making. I undertstand about why E* has infomercial channels. The point is E* is using titles for the channels to entice viewers to click them. If the banner says the channel is about water sports, or driving, or resorts and residences then the channels should...

I for one am getting fed up with E*s myriad infomercial channels. Was eagering looking forward to the WATER channel and lo and behold more infomercials, and nothing about boating, etc. I wish E* would just put all these channels in their own tier and just call them what they are--CRAP!

Watched last night. Those guys should run for political office and have Leonid from America's Got Talent as their spokesperson. They can spin Q&A better that anyone in DC. Did you notice no mention of any new HD Locals coming soon?

Update: I just called AT&T/DISH and was told they are not now sure if Indy HD locals will be on 118.75 or not. or if they would be available in 2006 or not. Also, they were not sure if I would get $59.99 credit if I do indeed need a 500+ or 1000+. They were sure the 500+ and 1000+ are...

When the installer tried to install a 1000 in April he could not lock onto 129. so I still have two 500's now--one for 110 and 119, and another for 61.5 With a 500+ will I be able to get 110,118, and 119 and still keep the 500 at 61.5? This is so confusing to me.

Unfortunately, I am a customer of AT&T/Dish Network. I was wondering what is to become of AT&T/Dish Network when AT&T starts its new Internet based voice/video/tv/dsl service. I understand Indiana will be one of the first states in the AT&T system to get this new technology. Also, is this the...
