    Vip 222

    I had a 222 installed on 12-14-07 and have had many problems with it freezing up. Dish has been back to my home twice since the 14th and I still have the problem. I have to reboot the receiver 6 to 8 times a week. Should I ask Dish to replace the 222 receiver? Is anyone else having this problem?

    Dish programing

    Why doesn't Dish make smaller bundles on their programing so customers can have some choice on what they want to watch. If they price it right they could make more money by providing a user friendly access fot their customers.

    Why I Wil Stay With Dishnetwork

    Dish needs to go alacarte on programing and they would make more dollars by doing so. I don't like the bundled top 60, 120, 180 deals. It would make it very customer friendly.

    Price Increases for Dish on 2/1/2005

    Dish is crazy, I won't accept the increase because I will move down from the 180 to the 120 package. I don't need all those radio channels for a TV.

    Anyone using rabbit ears?

    Try the silver sensor antenna you can place near your TV like the rabbit ears. I live in Charlotte, NC and with my $24 sensor I can pick up all 10 of my local HD channels. You can but it on Amazon.com or Best Buy but they are higher priced. The silver sensor is primarily for UHF reception.

    811 issue right off the bat!

    I have had my 811 for 11 months and have had no major problems. I have had a few minor ones and when I use the reset procedure it always clears up and works fine. I believe I got one of the very first 811's in the Charlotte, NC area and may have been lucky in the draw pool of customers.....
