    Is HBO on demand problems a "known issue"?

    I am having problems with both options, watch now and record. Sometimes it will record, other times it will appear to record, and when I go to play, I get the message: PPV content not available or something similar. I have had numerous phone calls and a service call, to no avail. I was told by...

    Fort Worth TX HR 44 availability?

    So I came home the other day, and the wife is talking to DTV about a remote issue. Told her to ask about an upgrade to the Genie (been with them 4+yrs.) Rep said not a problem, so I said make sure it is going to be a HR44. Rep said they could not guarantee what model would be received? Is...

    Is this statement true or false?

    Oh, I forgot the best part. One of the CSR's told my wife..."Dish has better technology than us." She better hope that call wasn't recorded.

    Is this statement true or false?

    Thank you......I wish you were the one answering the phones at D. It took my wife 5 hours and 7 phone calls to get that answer. And this was escalated all the way to the "Presidents's office"...(whatever that is). The original statment I pasted above is straight from D's website. She and I...

    Is this statement true or false?

If you happen to have a second HD DVR, you can watch up to...

    If Charter Communications Is Available In Your Area-Read This

    "The package includes a Scientific Atlanta Explorer 160GB 2-tuner 8000HD." Yeah, I went with Charter after leaving E. It is a good deal, though I also am not thrilled with the PQ on the lower tier channels. Just an FYI, call back and tell them you want the SA 8300 HD PVR. The 8000 is...

    Charter and DVI cable

    I have Charter in Fort Worth, TX. When the installer came out and put in the Scientific Atlanta 8000 HD DVR, he said it could be hooked up to the DVI output to my Pioneer Elite Pro 630 HDTV. I didn't have a DVI cable at the time, just the component cables, so I went out and bought one. Well...

    Has anyone else been talking to Executive Offices of Dish Network recently ?

    at least you got a reply...... "Apparently if you're a good enough customer, they'll respond in some manner." Only if you're lucky!!!!! After five phone calls and five different answers, trying to get a simple move and upgrade question answered (supervisors included) my wife asked to be...

    Install question

    We will be moving into a new home in about a month. My question is, the house is "cable ready wired", with outlets installed on the walls in each room. Does this mean the Dish installer can use this existing wiring? I understand that if I get the 522 it will require two runs of wire, but for...

    Loyal customer disgusted with "E"

    If "E" is truly monitoring this forum (which I will be surprised if they do), let me start by saying that as a business owner myself, if I treated a customer as you have, I would soon be kissing my business goodbye! My story, and I will attempt to keep it as short as possible, is as follows: I...

    Thanks guys! I really appreciate your help.....nice to know there is someplace to go and get correct info. Looks like another call to Dish and never ending hold!

    Is this correct info???????

    I appreciate the response, however, being the novice that I am, which is the best way to go? When you say I need 2 lines connected to the 921, would one of these lines be the one that is currently connected to the 501? Where would I connect the other line on the SW64? There is no more room...

    Is this correct info???????

    I have been a Dish network subscriber since 97. I now want to move up to the 921, since I've had my HDTV for a year now. I currently have the Dish 500 with 4 receivers. One PVR501 and 3 basic receivers. I have a SW64 switch. I called Dish about their $549.00 offer on the 921, and they...
