    Cleveland Locals down?

    Had several neighbors out, but now it's back. I blame the sun. Now if we could just get the problem of the Sun making everything warm and dry here in Ohio too.

    Sprout.

    This is one I don't get... why does Dish not carry the Sprout (PBS Kids) channel? It seems like it would be a channel that isn't that costly to carry, given PBS, and is VERY popular amongst the kids my daughter is in class with. Is there a major reason that I just can't find?

    Thinking of switching to Directv

    I am curious to see the result of it... been doing this 7 years and still have not yet even seen my first SWM system. I have this weird luck, like I worked at a pizza shop for 7 years and never once had an anchovie pizza come in when I was on the line making pizzas.

    Payment reversal ??? Whats this on DTV

    Bingo. If it was a expiration date problem it would have just been outright declined to begin with.

    No hotpass?

    Just got a couple calls and I checked on my tv... no Nascar hotpass today? Is it completely gone or just problems this week? It was there last week.... am I missing something?

    Down the road

    That would be a HUGE difference. I have spoken with DTV reps many times about this, generally in reference to a camper, and if it is the same household and the "vacation" residence is not used simultaneously as the permanent residence they don't have a problem with it at all. Taking your...

    Off-the-record DirecTV Installation

    I am in Canton, may be able to help if all else fails. BTW, I am guessing this isn't anytime soon given that I just was outside having a smoke and noticed a "summer cottage" would not be in season right now, LOL.

    Installation Verification Fail 99 13v ODD

    I am on hold with ISS forever right now waiting to talk to them... but the dish is tuned in fine. Did the forced software and same problem. Checked the signal meters and they look fine, called home and had my wife check out signal to compare and all of the same transponders are on and the...

    "Rahinshield": Does it work?

    RV anti-freeze is generally used to keep the potable water lines in an RV from bursting in the winter... So I would suspect it doesn't have much of a toxicity to it. Everyone I have seen is used with GRAS ingredients.

    ATT Directv

    Perhaps it is a caller ID thing? Customer answer recording based on your phone number in the database?

    "Rahinshield": Does it work?

    Here is the solution to all of this... Cheap, yes Smells like butter, No Collects dirt, no Has to be reapplied every few weeks in the winter, no Can be purchased as a wipe for about a buck, yes It's called.... Rain-X sold at walmart, autozone, and most other places that have any glass...

    Mississippi announces $125k Settlement with Dish Network

    ...off for a year... starting in the 2nd to 4th month of service, if they do the rebate stuff right. I even paid a customer's bill for 2 months when D* pulled the "submit your rebate online before activation and it will start on your first month's bill" then had computer problems not apply it...

    Dish finally went coocoo?

    I have had this happen with a customer before. There are special "VIP" customers that get highly discounted or free service. My third customer ever they accidentally canceled my OE number after I entered there order (something wasn't entered right when they built my account) and it had to be...

    eastern arc interesting situation question...

    Landlord had the house wired his way and had all of the wires hidden. He does not want another wire or hole drilled in his new siding (although he has no problem with a second dish on a post). I can flatwire through a window that is right next to both the second dish and the TV, so that's all...

    eastern arc interesting situation question...

    Ok, this is a strange one... So a customer has a converted house... they got dish installed a month or so ago, so they are an eastern arc customer. They decided they need a tv on the far wall of the garage in their house... however restrictions, a cement slab foundation in the garage, and a...

    IRONIC?!?!?!

    Would you really want a TV service that seeks out and blocks nationally run ads by their competitors?

    Transponder/Which satellite per channel question.

    I remember it being on this site... I swear it was... a list of what satellite was broadcasting what channel. I just can't find it. The reason I ask is because I have a customer that wants to pick up dish, has 2/3 perfect LOS and 1/3 partially block LOS on the 1000.4 He only really wants 2...

    Cheap tool to test line signal

    a cheap $15 sat-buddy type meter will work great for you. You can use it both to detect signal and on the other end to detect voltage. (since it is powered by the receiver it won't turn on unless your line has voltage.) The other alternative is the built in signal meter, which if you suspect...

    IVR... really stupid question.

    Because I don't work for an HSP doesn't make me not an installer. I am a retail installer. Thank you for being just so unhelpful.
