    What Do Directv Customers Really Pay?

    Been without a pay television for a couple months in preparation for an oft-delayed move that looks like it's finally happening in a few days (Was a Dish customer prior). The plan was to give Comcast a try because they are the only Internet provider where I am going (Except satellite Internet...

    Moving and Cancelling Service

    I am likely moving within days, or three weeks on the outside. I may be moving several times in rapid succession (including a possible roommate situation or two), so Dish mover isn't really an option. My once marginally acceptable neighborhood has turned into something like out of one of those...

    Dish Anywhere for Android

    1. Are the new live streams of MSNBC and NBC Network available on the Android app? I don't see MSNBC under the list of networks on it, and it doesn't come up in "search", but maybe I am missing it. Actually, almost everything appears "locked" on the Android app, but MSNBC doesn't appear at all...

    Google in Talks with Dish Over Wireless Partnership

    Link: http://www.engadget.com/2012/11/16/google-in-talks-with-dish-over-mobile-network-partnership/ Could be great news if they use the typical Google model of cheap equipment, low access fees, and no credit checks; which attempts as many people online using their products as possible. If...

    MASN2 Question (Uplink Related?)

    I had an issue September 12 with the MASN2 feed cutting in and out while watching the Orioles game. The video signal would "freeze" for a few seconds on a still image with the audio cut out completely, and then the game would resume. Rinse and repeat. Didn't seem to happen during commercial...

    Online Payment "Submit" Button Grayed Out

    My Dish bill is due tomorrow, and I logged in this afternoon to pay, but found the "submit" button grayed out and unclickable. I've never had this happen before. Is this a known bug that happens sometimes and can be worked around? Or is the whole Dish online payment system down for some...

    Are the Comcast Network and CSN+ Now the Same Thing? Anyone Know the Current Status of CSN+ in Hano

    So, I had Comcast cable up in Hanover, PA a couple years ago. They carried Comcast Sports Network Mid-Atlantic (Which carries most Capitals and Wizards games) and CSN+ (Which carries whichever team isn't on the main channel when CSN has the rights to both games on the same night at the same...

    MLB Moving Some Playoff Games to MLB Network

    Pertinent quote from the mostly unrelated article: "Baseball also announced its new one-game wild-card playoffs will be televised Oct. 5 by TBS and that two division series games will shift from TBS to the MLB Network under a deal running through 2013. TBS Sports President David Levy said a...

    NBC Sports Channel Switching to Channel 159

    Just turned to channel 151 to watch tonight's hockey game, and noticed that the guide said that NBC Sports Channel is moving to channel 159. The channel is already up and broadcasting it's new location. Anyone have any idea what prompted this? Does it have some deeper meaning? Like that...

    CSN MA Alternate on Directv, Also Credit Questions

    I've been sort of browsing Directv's website, as I'm considering switching from Dish when my contract expires around the New Year. I could really use to save money with a new customer promo, and I'm somewhat dissatisfied with Dish. They stuck me with an install fee a year and a half ago and...

    Is Glee Anywhere Near as Annoying as it's Prominent Placement on Dish's New Website Makes It Look?

    If so, I think I made the right call in never watching the show. ;)

    Dish Randomly Decided I Ordered Almost $40 Worth of PPV, Which I Didn't

    So, I was looked at my billing section online and though my pdf bill showed the correct amount due, the current balance listed on the non-pdf billing page was $37.51 higher, with no explanation. I did the assistance chat online thing and apparently the CSR decided I ordered something called the...

    Signal Loss Again

    I just got back into town after some time away. I came back to something that alternates between complete and partial signal loss on some channels. Other channels come in alright. Honestly, it's a toss up between neighbors I had feuded with maliciously knocking the Dish around on their way...

    Enough With the Unwanted Phone Calls- Is My Only Way Out to Quit Dish?

    Once again, two phone calls in two days from Dish reminding me to pay a bill that's not overdue. One the day before the bill was paid, one the day the bill was paid. Both before the deadline for paying (i.e. bill would only be over due if I hadn't paid by tomorrow). I don't mean to sound like...

    Marketing for AT200 and AT250 Inconsistent with Placement of NBC Sports Network?

    On Dish's website, the description for America's Top 200 is "Get in the game and stay there with a wide range of sports, movies and more in this 220-plus channel package.". Sounds like a package for sports fans. The description on Dish's website American's Top 250 is "More than 260 channels...

    On-Screen Billing Nags for Already Paid Bills

    I paid my Dish bill online yesterday morning, the day it was due (Note: Not an overdue bill, paid on time). Nevertheless, something like 36 hours later watching TV tonight, a big nagging box that obstructed the center of the screen came up asking me to pay the bill. I clicked cancel and it...

    Roku LT- Worth Getting? What's Available to Watch for Free?

    I saw that the Roku LT was available for $49- shipping included. I've been eying one of those streaming boxes for years and it's finally it the right price point. The thing that's changed is that I don't do Netflix streaming anymore (Dropped to just DVDs) because of the price hike. So...

    Currentv Moving Channel Locations Again

    I apologize if this has already been posted, but I didn't see anything: Currentv is moving to channel 215 from channel 294. It makes sense, as the channel is slowly converting to a cable news type format (Adding Countdown with Keith Olbermann a while back, and with shows from former Michigan...

    Is Terra Nova Covered By the Dish-FOX Streaming Deal?

    I'm kind of interested in that new FOX series, Terra Nova, but these days I tend to watch sports in the prime time hours if the television is on at all, so I was hoping to catch it streaming. Hulu doesn't have complete episodes of it (And as of right now they aren't offering an ETA on when or...

    Dodging an ETF and Other Charges

    For various reasons, I want out of my Dish contract (I'll enumerate briefly at the end of the post if anyone is curious). I can't afford the EFT and don't want to pay to ship their equipment back to them (That's ridiculous). Anyone know how to get out of subscribing to Dish without paying the...

    Stuck in the Middle With Dish

    Well, the Dish has been down for a few hours. It waffles between what it calls complete and partial signal loss -- neither of which get me a picture. It's kind of a bummer -- not so much because it's down, but because Dish's policies prevent me from getting it fixed promptly. I just have to...
