    long time dish customer, recent price increase, looking for input...

    A few things I have feedback on now that I’ve had my new equipment for a day. 1- I don’t like that they removed the page up/down from the remote. It was so much easier to scroll through the guide than having to keeping clicking one channel at a time. 2- The tech installed a power inserter...

    long time dish customer, recent price increase, looking for input...

    Got my new equipment today, upgraded from hopper with sling and Joey to hopper 3 and 4K Joey. No install cost. New 2 year commitment brought my pricing back down. My dish tech was awesome, the most professional, knowledgeable and courteous tech they’ve ever sent in the last 20 years that I’ve...

    long time dish customer, recent price increase, looking for input...

    Gotcha. Didn’t realize that’s what it was called. Next question - will the monthly fees for the hopper or Joey increase when I upgrade from hopper with sling to hopper 3? Currently I think I pay $12/month now for locals and same for dvr fee. I thought I read that hopper 3 dvr fee was...

    long time dish customer, recent price increase, looking for input...

    so....called dish and they offered to do another 2 year lock to help get my pricing back to within $5/month of what it used to be before my price lock expired...they also offered to give me a one time credit to offsite the big different in price that happened this month (which I thought was very...

    long time dish customer, recent price increase, looking for input...

    ok, guess I'll just give them a call and see what options they offer...was hoping someone would know the current existing customer offerings so when I called I would know if they were telling me correctly or not. i have a hopper w/ sling that I've had for several years now, got it at the same...

    long time dish customer, recent price increase, looking for input...

    I live in an area that doesn't get much OTA. I was hoping not to change packages but was hoping more to get a better promo/discount on the current package, something more in line with what I was paying previously.

    long time dish customer, recent price increase, looking for input...

    hey folks, I'm a long time Dish customer and my recent monthly bill just shot way up...i'm not a big TV watcher so I only have AT120+ and I have (1) hopper and (1) joey. I think i was previously getting a monthly discount deal because of a 2 year commitment but that must have went away and now...

    HWS or H3? Upgrade now or wait 2 months?

    Well I went ahead and got the HWS + Joey installed a few hours ago. Once the tech left I read up on the CES dish announcement, after reading that the H3 upgrade would have been free now I feel sick knowing that I just upgraded. Would the H3 upgrade really be free for existing customers in good...

    HWS or H3? Upgrade now or wait 2 months?

    Thanks for all of the input everyone, appreciate it. Considering the new hopper will prob not be a free upgrade and considering I'm not interested in getting a receiver that will output 4K at this time (there will really be extremely little true 4K content available anyway) I believe I'm going...

    HWS or H3? Upgrade now or wait 2 months?

    ive got a 622 and a 211, was in the process of working with dirt to do a HWS + Joey upgrade to replace my 622 + 211. I was wanting to complete the upgrade prior to 1/14 to avoid the increase in dvr fee from 12 to 15 for hopper installs after 1/14. I was all ready to schedule the install when...

    Can I backfeed a TV2 Out Standard Def feed from a Hopper?

    thanks for all of the input everyone, appreciate it like always. while i do not currently use the backfeed feature on my 622, my parents do on 2-3 different TVs in their home. I currently run HDMI and COMPONENT (over a 100' attic run) both from my 622 (yes, have to watch same channel but not a...

    Can I backfeed a TV2 Out Standard Def feed from a Hopper?

    True. But many customers still have those older TV's and use that backfeed signal to avoid having to pay for another receiver. I understand the logic, but thought it would be nice if that feature still existed... thanks for the input, appreciate it guys

    Can I backfeed a TV2 Out Standard Def feed from a Hopper?

    so you are backfeeding using your old diplexers and then splitting it out to multiple TVs for SD feed on them. Does the Hopper have a coax output that you run into your diplexers or do you have to output on composite and then convert to coax before diplexer?

    Can I backfeed a TV2 Out Standard Def feed from a Hopper?

    yea it's forward in that regard, but backward in the other...it creates a case where you are forced to pay $7/month for a joey capable of HD when in many cases folks may only need the TV2 backfeed in SD, which would not cost any additional $ for that 2nd TV...

    Can I backfeed a TV2 Out Standard Def feed from a Hopper?

    Bummer! So the 622, 722 can both backfeed and support 2 TVs with different channels then the hopper comes along, it cost's more $ per month and it only sources 1 TV instead of 2? Man, that stinks. Why moved backwards? Why not keep offering TV2 out for the folks that only need a SD source?

    Can I backfeed a TV2 Out Standard Def feed from a Hopper?

    Hello, can I backfeed a SD feed from the hopper to another TV in the house that only needs SD like I would do now on my VIP 622 when i setup the TV2 out modulator? If I can, as long as I have a remote in the SD room will I be able to change channels without interfering with channels on the TV 1...

    Quick question about moving around Joey before I make move to Hopper???

    Thanks. I know the wireless Joey or the 2nd Joey would work but for the little amount of time it "may" get used I don't want to go that route. But I want to make sure the wiring is ready just in case I ever want to take it there. Do I need to request any specific part for that node or splitter...

    Quick question about moving around Joey before I make move to Hopper???

    before I make the upgrade to the hopper and Joey I have a quick question - I currently have 2 coax lines coming from dish to central wiring closet. From that same central wiring closet I have a single coax going to every room. If I get a hopper and a Joey can I easily move that Joey from bedroom...

    haven't been on here if forever it seems like...just wanted to drop in and see if there are any free equipment upgrades going on that I should be aware of.

    How long gone until recognized as a new customer again?

    well my last name will never change, I dont plan on changing my phone number and I'm not moving so I dont qualify for any of those 3 changes... so, is it safe to say that I cannot ever be qualified as a new customer again if I left them and came back?

    How long gone until recognized as a new customer again?

    what do you mean by other requirements? Just the term commitment for 24 months? 90 days isn't really bad at all...so after 90 days would I be considered a brand new customer again and eligible for whatever the new customer promo would be, such as free equipment, etc?

    How long gone until recognized as a new customer again?

    i keep getting these great offers from my local telco, Frontier, if I come back to them as a new customer for their telephone and DSL and bundled with Dish satellite. I'm already a Dish customer and have been for the last 12 years...so, here's what I was wondering....if I dropped dish, how long...
