    senior plan

    So are the home locals then being streamed when in a different part of country? Wouldn't that violate the distant locals rule that makes you watch local locals? What is senior plan, never heard of it.

    It may finally be time to say Good Bye

    If you own the rx does that mean you have to pay for repairs if it goes bad? To my recall, they'd simply send a replacement at no charge regardless of owned or leased, so there was no functional difference

    I need someone to ship me ViP922 with its original acessories for free.

    At a certain point somewhere I'm guessing in the '00s they stopped shipping with card because they had integrated all of the security into the internal systems. This was of course during the time when they were doing card swapouts to try to keep ahead of piracy. No doubt they figured if there...

    Can Anyone Ship Me A ViP922?

    So like if it's a busted 922 you can swap it out to DiSH for a reman? Maybe you'd have to activate it on your system and then say it broke afterward.

    Red carpet service

    That's going to be the "old" 500 dish (110/119) that came out in 1998 but with the newest LNBF to handle all the newest rx's. I think the signal might be a bit better without the added 3rd slot. The 1000 dish was just a bit small for its job and 129 was weak to begin with, so by time you got...

    Red carpet service

    Reason why they "automatically" set you up as leased gear is as the installer said, very rare for inception with owned gear. Not sure what is meant by "oval" dishes as all are ovular. If you got a 1000.2 it would have a triple-feed LNBF. As was mentioned, not needed anymore since no 129, but...

    Do people still watch satellite TV these days

    But there's a difference between a call-in outcome and a call-in experience. You could have a bad experience, with hold time, language barrier, lack of knowledgeability and maybe a lack proper structuring or willingness to hand you off to more knowledgeable and actionable staff, but then despite...

    Do people still watch satellite TV these days

    The RSNs were created, one after the other after the next, on the premise of milking the public harder & harder for sports revenues. They were put into basics packages so everyone could share in producing the sports revenues, whether they wanted any sports or not, and many have consequently cut...
