    DISH takes away HD Free for Life if you go off AutoPay

    We pay $36 per month in equipment fees for the five tuners (four TVs). That would then jump to $ 46 if we go off AutoPay. I believe $12 of that is for the Hopper DVR. I realize Dish isn't the only provider gouging customers on these (ahem) 'equipment fees', but another $10 if we change our...

    DISH takes away HD Free for Life if you go off AutoPay

    So, for various reasons, I'm not comfortable with the automatic charges and called to go on to a monthly bill that I pay as it arrives ~ I was told by Dish that I would lose my 'HD Free for Life' if I went off of AutoPay. So, the gist is this - 5-year customer, never a problem, multiple...

    Subscribing to HBO for GoT ?

    I agree its frustrating and waaaay too expensive, especially for one show. Kinda makes you more sympathetic to the torrent crowd, huh? :p

    What will Dish do about HBO?

    I've had Skinemax for years and never watched their original programming - with kids and a busy house, time is limited so, for premium shows, I stick with Game of Thrones on HBO (free weekends - the DVR is cranking) and Black Sails on Starz (BB@Home). I have always had Max/BB on some kind of...

    Scott, any news on Netflix search integration?

    . . . or have support for Joeys which they said was happening "in the coming months" . . . and they said this back in mid-December. I'd like to see whole-home Netflix before they start adding integration on searches, etc.

    VEVO app coming?

    If you write a post about it, it DOESN'T MAKE IT REAL. With that in mind, I proclaim "Netflix for Joeys! Make it so!"

    Hopper OTA Module - not as good as direct to TV - why?

    I offered - they said don't bother. I offered again after I figured out the first one was working as designed. They still didn't want it. When margins are supposedly as tight as they claim, not taking back functional equipment kinda makes me wonder.

    Hopper OTA Module - not as good as direct to TV - why?

    You nailed it, DishSubLA. It seems I have a superior OTA demod in the TV. The replacement OTA module gave me the same result - despite the close range, we are still not getting a few. We can just live without the 1-2 channels we can't get with the antenna in its current position - it is...

    Suggestion: Allowing DishNet Customers to change packages on MyDish

    Can you see your next month's charges that way? I was told all of the billing could only be seen via the dishnet website.

    Suggestion: Allowing DishNet Customers to change packages on MyDish

    This may seem like an odd reason not to bundle, but I have purposely stayed away from DishNet just because you lose that ability to manage your Dish TV account - the DishNet bundle doesn't save me more than a few dollars over separating my phone+Internet and then TV. I'd rather have the ability...

    Jason, what do I do to fix this?

    Hopper OTA Module - not as good as direct to TV - why?

    Hello, we recently bought an OTA USB module for the HWS. We are within 20 miles of broadcast towers ('strong' per FCC) and we were surprised to find that our nice new roof antenna does not get clean performance on a number of channels. The signal bar hops between 60 and 74 on these channels...

    Netflix comes to the Hopper with Sling

    It's been almost two months - the silence on this seems odd. I wonder if DISH has quietly discovered that the existing Joey hardware just ain't gonna cut it? Anyone heard anything on Joey support? Very interested in this upgrade (if it ever happens).

    Cancelled dish

    Yet another good subscriber lost because pricing is just getting too ridiculous. Others have said it before on this forum, but at some point the 'bubble' is going to pop and people in general are just going to say 'to hell with it'.

    FCC Commissioner objects to DISH’s discount from AWS-3 auction

    Sooooooo, will this sweet deal on the spectrum lower my bill somehow? That's really all that matters to me . . .

    Dish Telemarketing Violations May Cost Them Billions in Fines

    If this is true, I hope Dish gets absolutely hammered for his crap. And it should come from Charlie's McDuck-like money bin. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Nightly updates time

    I suspect Dish was doing exactly that with the 1:30 AM time. Sorry, but people up watching at 1:30 must be in the extreme minority, not much different than 3:30. Getting enough sleep is key to wellness. Go to bed. Edited to say - sorry if that sounds snippy. Not trying to offend - I think a...

    Joey Slow Lately

    I'm curious if the new software (which I don't have yet) did anything for the Joey speed? Would love to hear a before/after and see if it helped. Or I guess I could just wait for my update and see.

    Fox News is back

    Not necessarily - taking bandwidth for stuff like Blaze when Disney XD and Jr still SD. Priorities, priorities. Sigh.
