    Well just got off the phone with Dish. Trying to reduce bill due current monthly charge is around $150 (top 250, 2-612's and a 722) . Explained what channels we do watch(about 12-15 regular). Was never offered any discount like has been posted here. Been Dish customer at this location since 1999...

    DISH Guarantees $250 Savings to Satellite Pay-TV Customers Who Switch

    Hmmmm.... I have the AT250 and my bill is $140/month. I know,I know....I'm a current customer from the 90's. Bad me! What would the AT250 at $39.99 for a year do for me. Well it would help to pay for doctor's copay being I just had another stroke before Thanksgiving that wiped out my right...

    Why does Dish seem to have more Provider Disputes?

    I have been with Dish a long time. Charlie always said on things like Charlie Chat he will always fight for the subscribers to get the best value for their dollar. I never saw him retract that way of doing business. Before I came to Dish I had cable. Any time any contract was signed it seemed...

    Why does Dish seem to have more Provider Disputes?

    I am not questioning your statement. But could you direct me to what you are referring to? Again I like to learn facts.

    CNN and HLN gone/ Dish-Turner Dispute - Now Back 11/21

    I like your idea. I bet Dish would like your idea. But we are stuck with the majority of providers not willing to unbundle their channels. So how do we convince the providers to drop the all or nothing policy?

    Only one receiver allowed without contract???

    I used to have 4-512's. Now have 2-612's and 1- 722. All with no contract.

    CNN and HLN gone/ Dish-Turner Dispute - Now Back 11/21

    Well you are allowed to work up to a dollar cap per month, without it affecting your disability check. In 2013 it was $1010.00/month It goes up a little every year. Problem is if you do make that amount it shows Social Security that you are able to make a living income without SSID. You are...

    CNN and HLN gone/ Dish-Turner Dispute - Now Back 11/21

    Well the "complaining serves no purpose" statement from some here in my opinion is false. I do read through these posts and it often give me knowledge of certain aspects of this business I never knew. Thus I have better knowledge to make better decisions regarding my Dish subscription. Or for...

    Dish Network Corp. (DISH) founder Charlie Ergen said he may permanently drop Time Warner Inc.

    What I see happening is movement of different channels to take the place of the removed channels. I do not see a price decrease coming. Maybe a price freeze might happen instead of the next scheduled increase. it would depend on the offset of the lost channels compared to the new contract...

    So how long do you think the Dish/Turner dispute will last?

    I have met many people like this in my life. Once they run into a problem not addressed in college class they seem to be lost. As for the car story, once had an angry customer on the phone due to me telling the customer we would not cover a blown engine due to the same circumstance. Light...

    CNN and HLN gone/ Dish-Turner Dispute - Now Back 11/21

    I resolved this problem last year. I don't watch any news channels. All my news is obtained online from all over the world from many sources. Its surprising to read US news from a foreign source. For the most part they have no dog in the fight so you get more details the US networks seem to omit...

    Satellite Changes Coming - May 31st, 2015

    Hopefully this will work more smoothly than my transition from SD to HD. Even with the letter from Dish with a code on it, they tried to charge me for the transition. CSR was not happy with me when I read the letter to her.

    Hope this guy wins against Dish

    Did he tell Dish when he was going through hiring process that he used medical pot? I think if he was upfront with Dish from day 1 this might not have happened. If Dish on the other hand would not hire him because of it, then that would be a medical discrimination suit.

    Downgrading from AEP to AT250

    I just did that this year. With the bill topping $180/month I had enough. I don't miss the premiums either. If its a movie we are interested in we just buy it.

    Local channels

    Who determined which locals you are to receive? Does "locals" follow a market area like sports?

    External Hard Drive Programs

    First off do you own the 2 receivers? If no then the suggestion you keep the minimum subscription package going until you can offload what you want to view again seems like a good answer. Now if you own the receivers here is what I did. Dish required me to change over to the HD receivers. On 1...

    What channels do you want in HD?

    Everything that is broadcast in HD should be retransmitted in HD. It should be in every contract that a cable or satellite company has with the broadcasters. Broadcasters should not be withholding HD because of any contract dispute. I am surprised the broadcasters haven't charged extra...

    Another DISH Football Fight

    Interesting,thank you for the info. I like to learn things. That means if you are in a RSN market that feels their RSN is worth loads more than a standard sub fee, then the subscriber just needs to plunk down the cash for that RSN. Otherwise they have to settle for whatever RSN is available at...

    Another DISH Football Fight

    Hmmm,ok. Then I say Dish should charge additional to markets where they have a load of local channels carried. And then lower the charge for areas like Montana that probably have a sparse population and few locals. Having said that, I just looked at my current Dish bill. I don't see a separate...

    Another DISH Football Fight

    So Dish's price increase was RSN's? If that's true I want my money back. Don't need them, don't want them, so as per your logic I should get my money back. Now personally I think Dish should provide an alternate RSN if "your area" RSN gets greedy which seems to be the case of NJ. Then you...

    So do you think the 4K content will closely follow that timeline?

    Another DISH Football Fight

    Welcome to the world of being bundled. What about someone like me. I could care less if they yanked every sports station. I have to pay for it because the providers,not the retransmission businesses seem to demand its all or none. So for the benefit of all subscribers we all pay even if we do...

    Another DISH Football Fight

    Ok so you pointed out that the chain of command within the state of NJ is who owns whole responsibility in this dispute. Why is Charlie being held responsible? You say it's Charlie who only cares about making money for himself. Now follow closely Juan. Show me an individual or group of...
