    why is it so difficult to get a bottom line price?

    I couldn't even get a quote without a credit check, then despite having exemplary credit, they still couldn't even qualify me for the free Hopper 3 and wanted me to pay $50. If I use online it would appear I have to submit the order completely before finding out the final price, which I'm not...

    thinking of switching from dish - questions about recorded shows on my dish receiver

    I'm thinking of making the switch from Dish to DirecTV due to the great deal they have running right now (by my calculation I will save several hundred dollars over 2 years). However, I have about 30 hours of recorded TV on the Dish receiver right now. If I disconnect Dish, will I be able to...

    wireless router for streaming 1080

    Yeah, trying to stream 1080 to a tablet so I can watch where ever I feel like sitting. You might be right though, the tablet might be challenged doing that anyhow, I'll have to read up more on that too.

    wireless router for streaming 1080

    Yeah, I'd prefer to be hardwired too but not easily done in my house so looking for a better alternative. Also want to be able to do more with my ASUS tablet. Any other good options or is that one pretty much best of breed

    NFL Network Leaving AT100 Package

    From the CEO email support Like everyone else I was ticked off when they moved the NFL Network, since I don't care about 99% of the other channels on the Dish 200 selection. So I emailed the ceo@echostar.com box venting and explaining how I didn't appreciate them thinking I was dumb enough to...

    722 SD Display issue

    Connected HDMI. HD display is 720P, 16x9. The mode is the standard 4x3 mode with black spacers. Not sure how to adjust the image position, would this be done with the TV, not the Dish setup? It's just weird that is works fine with OTA and with 4x3 grey spacers its much, much less visible.

    722 SD Display issue

    Hi all. I'm hoping you guys can help me out here. Basically, I have the 722 running TV1 to my 50" plasma, and TV2 to a basic 24" tube. The issue has to due with SD display on TV1. I get a "crease" that runs from top to bottom, about 1/2" or so along the right hand side of the display, and...

    522 Dishin'it up promo details

    Deal just got worse So I finally hear back, I can get my 522 for a mere $198! After complaining extensively, they knocked $50 off for me, to $149. It would be my only receiver, I'd retire the other 2, and yup, I get to pay the lease fee, too. She did mention the deal was changing next...

    522 Dishin'it up promo details

    Well, my quest appears to be no where near the end. It's been almost 3 weeks since my original email to the ceo account. They still can't tell me why I can't get a 522, and will give no timetable as to when they will tell me. Based on what I'm reading, I'm not sure I even want it anymore, but...

    $148 for 522 lease upgrade???

    Good luck working with the CEO email. My committment was up mid-January, I've been told by them that I am an "outstanding customer" (I guess that means I pay my bills on time), and I still can't even get the deal. The CEO responder stated my request is in a stack with bunches of others waiting...

    522 Dishin'it up promo details

    Just my opinion But I feel it is very fair for me to be upset that new equipment comes out and it is ONLY offered to NEW subscribers. What is the point of that? Of course I'm probably madder than most, as I've been a subscriber for over a year, and off contract, and STILL can't get the...
