    "moving" question.

    Wow, very odd. When I lived in a small California town for a three month work tour, the address qualified for the distants from AAD and the LA locals from Dish.

    "moving" question.

    A friend - who is the ultimate definition of a couch tater - would like to hook up his trailer somewhere in the fringes of San Diego California so that he qualifies for the Distants thru AllAmDir as well as the San Diego locals from Dish. Anyone have an idea of a city/zip he should start...

    Dish music on E7

    I have 3 622's and 2 211's and was told after pulling teeth to get the third 622 added that that was it. Was I mislead? Regards, Dave PS Are there any other birds the Dish 300 could be pointed at to get any sort of fta music?

    Dish music on E7

    Hi (Pardon if this should an FTA discussion, not sure) I have 6 boxes on my account, and couldnt add a 7th for music in my soho, so fta seemed to be a good solution. Not that dish would miss the extra $5 a month seeing as my average bill is over 130 a month. But, alas, the weird...

    I'm using a Pico Macom Sat Tracker and only scan about 15 fta music channels on 119. Used to be a whole lot more. Perhaps I've got the wrong settings... Anyone familiar with the Pico? Thanks much!

    Banners now on Showtime?

    Watching Penn & Teller and Fired! just now, I've seen banners promoting Tudors or some other such crap... during the programs. This is a very bad thing. Very bad. It may be just a promo, BUT it's still an ad, and you can expect to see more and more of these annoying disruptions...

    Anyone Just Getting NPS Service ?

    Did I miss it? Excuse the post if so... Is it possible to use, say, an 811, that was previously active with Dish just for the dns? Or does the box have to have some sort of basic Dish sub? Thanks in advance!

    Court tv?

    I didnt even know courtv was still in business. Watched 5 minutes of it once... 4 minutes of lame commercials and a minute of something so utterly bad I felt an overpowering urge to scrub my eye sockets with a Brillo pad soaked in Tang.

    Be interesting to see if a virgin 301 can be subbed for the DNS with NPS with no Dish sub.

    508 remote channel reset

    I have a 508 and a 622, The 508 *had* the remote set to 11. Somehow, it got reset to 1, which is what is used for the 622. Perhaps this has something to do with that horrible DoD crap recently forced down my throat?

    Commercial account pricing question

    We have a commercial account, Private Plus, with 6 301's and modulators feeding tv's in the break rooms, a number of private offices, and waiting areas. I'm a little confused as to how Dish will price it when we expand to 15 receivers from the 6 we have now. A commercial rep told me to...

    Are E*** CSR's really incompetent or do they do it on purpose?

    The few calls I made to customer service to inquire about the 622 upgrade have wound up over a crappy voice over ip connection to the call center in India. Add that to the crappy English... Even when I tried the "wait without dialling anything" I got a female who was as hard to understand as...

    New mpeg4 channels 61.5 or 129?

    I was looking at a channel line up... for the new mpeg4 channels... if I already have a 61.5 dish, do I need to add a 129? (I have a DP44 with 1 spare input, perhaps another sat like 148 if Dish has HBOHD and SHOHD west?) Thanks in advance! --and sorry if this has already been covered--...
