Each: 7x00 = 501/508. 721 = 522. 6000 / 811 = VIP211. I think that's all they're doing now.

Look people - if you have a 301 and go from place to place, no one (including Dish) gives two sheets. If you have TWO 301's and only move ONE, then yes there is the risk of financial loss and therefor is enforced as account packing. It never ceases to amaze me how much people in America whine...

You have to pay to get a 522 in place of a 7xxx. You get a free reman 501/508, I just can't remember which one.

*used to* Tell ya what - Give me some acct numbers and we'll see how things go :)

DirecTV has the same policy. So does cable. Theft of services.

Steve: You're right - you can move the equipment anywhere you want, esp if you own it HOWEVER the company reserves the right to deny service to said equipment. Also, if you read the tags, they clearly state they're not to be removed by anyone except the purchaser.

navychop: I'd definitely go with DHPP. yaz96: If proper troubleshooting was performed and it was made clear that the equipment had failed (not cust damage/etc.), then that CSR/TSR, regardless of location, was wrong. PM me the circumstances/details and I'll let you know what should have happened...

vegassatellite: Ok. That doesn't negate the fact that it's software-related and you just have to do an upgrade before it'll see the other orbitals.

dishcomm: I never said what programming I was referring to. That's what happens a majority of the time however.

A 1k.4 requires a professional installation for a reason... Regardless of the reason, that installer's a turd. Anyways, A VIP211 will only pick up 61.5 the first time around. You have to run the CST, allow software to download and then re-perform a CST. Fixed. p.s. "Clearing the matrix"...

Sounds like water in the line, a poor connection, corroded connector or the lnbf / switch favoring one rcvr. I'd recommend drying all connections and packing them with dielectric grease before tightening back down with a 7/16" wrench until snug. You can also try swapping outputs on the...

I think I should clarify additional definitions of "control" in this case: "Hey _____ - if you don't pay us as much as _____ did, we're not giving you rights to the game." "Hey [provider,] can we have that programming?" "No, ________ paid for exclusive rights."

sooooo..... survey: how many of you have called Dish and filed a TPR?

Jesus H. Christ there's a lot of misinformation floating around. 1.) If you did DIU when the lease-fee was valid, then you can only get rid of it by doing DIU again. Sorry. 2.) navychop: You're definitely off-base. You're provided a 90-day installation warranty on work orders -- end. After...

Well sure there's a reason to take a year - So they don't have to deal with the 34215431543 oafs that don't understand the concept "arrow facing in." All smart card slots are active. You can take a vip211, put a card in from a 3900, wait 'til the error comes up, then pull it out and the...
