    Can I get more information on prepaid for dish network?

    Actually Claude, what you are referring to are the prepaid cards that Dish sould give to places like Radio Shack, and they would be in either $30 or $40 increments. And you had to use the entire card on whatever service you ordered. So you were stuck. When the GreenDot MoneyPak became...

    Can I get more information on prepaid for dish network?

    Oh, how I do miss the good old days of Dish's prepaid service. Such a beautiful creature that was. You could prepay by the DAY/WEEK/MONTH/etc.... No need for a package as you could order HBO/SHOWTIME/CINEMAX/STARZ ALL BY THEMSELVES by the DAY/WEEK/MONTH/etc.... Oh, what a glorius thing it...

    Is alacart even feasable?

    Well, like I said "sort of". :) But I ask anyone to show me a setup, at the cost of $105(with tax), that you could order any of the America's Top whatever by THE DAY(the month to month thing did not come about until Oct. 2009. Up until then, Day by Day ordering was available. I had it that...

    Is alacart even feasable?

    Dish did offer a "sort of" a la carte package/setup a couple of years ago, then dumped it. It was the DishNOW! prepaid setup. You could order by the day, with what you wanted. And the amount time you wanted it. It wasn't perfect(no locals/HD/RSN's), but the "day by day" ordering was awesome...

    dish network would like ideas on how to improve their product through the internet.

    I agree. It would be nice to see if these posts would actually bear fruit. And for what is being asked about the online internet aspect of it, there is not much being asked for which could be changes either instantly, or could come about very quickly. But I like too see some results before...

    Dish Network FlexTV Questions..

    Agreed. I knew DishNOW! would not last long. Even after I initially bought it. Way too much control for the customer. But I got about 2 1-2 to 3 years of service out of it, so I definitely got my initial $100 cost out of the whole system, that is for sure. I just posted my feelings in the "how...

    dish network would like ideas on how to improve their product through the internet.

    For Dish prepaid FlexTV customers, after our period is up, our online accounts should revert back to $0, which is does not. I prepay for everything I want, and the amount of time I want it. When that period is up, my account should go back to $0, which it does not. And our ONLINE ACCOUNT...

    Dish Network FlexTV Questions..

    OK. I actually have the prepaid setup. I have had it well over 3 years when it was DishNOW!(G*d, I wish they went back to that). Then according to my "online account", my balance should actually read "$0", but it read $111.30. This is because the last time I prepaid, I got the Everything...

    Dish Network FlexTV Questions..

    So, if I understand you correctly, and if I don't please explain. You let your account lapse(did not pay), and then 3 months later, you paid the so-called "outstanding balance(which is bullsh*t, unless I don't understand the meaning of prepaid)" on your account. After you paid that amount...

    Dish Network FlexTV Questions..

    Sorry it took so long to get back to you jakesnakemd. I have not been in this forum for a while. Anyway, they TOTALLY WAIVED the restart fee period. According to the CSR I spoke too in November, 2010, when I re-upped for 2 months prepaid(about to run out on 1/14/11), he said that the restart...

    I don’t mind Dish Network making a profit, but not a killing.

    I know this is the wrong forum for this question, but if someone could point me in the right direction(Scott, or someone else), as too where this is discussed or described, it will be appreciated. But this thread brought up this question to my mind: What legal right, if any, do cable...

    Dish Network FlexTV Questions..

    I should make clear that this info came from a CSR, so I really have no evidence, pro or con, to back up what I said about the Greendot MoneyPak. To me it seems foolish as well to do away with it, and I hope they don't. But I guess we will have to take a wait and see attitude.

    TWC going to battle with Dish for low end?

    Also Greg, if I may. That law was passed at a time when most people were lucky to get/receive, 3-4 channels via an antenna. Now there are hundreds of channels/entertainment media to choose from. I think alot of people would view that law as "antiquated". So either a 2010 version would need...

    TWC going to battle with Dish for low end?

    Are you sure about this? It is not that I doubt you, but the fact that there are now College football games on Tues., Wed., Thurs. Fri.(all on ESPN), makes me wonder if anyone is actually following that rule. Look it up. This past regular season there have been games on those days. Maybe not...

    3DTV - Do you care?

    +1 for the above statement. It will not be going away, and just be another feature available on ALL tv's in the future. Something you can tyurn on/off at will within a TV menu.

    TWC going to battle with Dish for low end?

    I agree Steve. And I will take the MLB Network over the NFL Network any day of the week. What a wonderful addition to people who evjoy the game of baseball. And the fact that daily during the season, they cut in and out of live games is awesome. A very well done network IMHO.

    TWC going to battle with Dish for low end?

    I keep on reading things on the internet that if the NFL goes to 18 games starting either next year(doubtful, with a strike or no strike), or 2012, that TWC/Cablevision will indeed get the NFL Network. They are closer than most people realize, and this could be the tipping point. The reason...

    TWC going to battle with Dish for low end?

    To be honest, I think the lineup is actually pretty good. I would like the price to be actually cheaper than what they are offering. And 2 years at $29.99 locked in is not bad. I am not sure if LOCAL HD OTA STATIONS are included or not in this package. I know regular HD/VOD for those...

    TWC going to battle with Dish for low end?

    Here is the lineup for North East Ohio TWC subscribers. I believe this includes Cleveland, Akron, and possibly some NorthWest Pennsylvania TWC customers if their cable(HUB) comes out of Akron. For some, where I live near Sharon, PA, this is true: Originally Posted by ohio.com * A&E * AMC *...

    Cheapest Way to Get Dish During NFL Season *Only*?

    Really? I wasn't charged anything for my restarting, but then again my setup is a little different than yours. I have a DP301, and a Dish 500 pointing at satellites 110/119. I only signed up for two months prepaid(with a Green Dot MoneyPak which will no longer be able to be used by February...

    Well, I finally got the thing up and running, although it was a bit of a headache. Trying to explain to the CSR's that you don't any money on a prepaid FLEXTV is near impossible, until you find someone who understands that when you let the account lapse(meaning not pay for the upcoming month)...

    Well, the online Chat was a total DUD. Whomever, and wherever the hell they were, had no idea what the F I was talking about(typical). Said I had to buy new equipment to become a FlexTV customer, and also I wasn't allowed to restart my account online because of non-payment. These people are...

    Thanx R10fret, I will try that this afternoon with the chat service this afternoon by asking for a loyalty agent. Just tried to LOGIN to my account, and again after logging in, it said I could not restart my services online and had to call the 1-888 number. I wonder if they can "fix" my...

    Dish Network FlexTV Questions..

    You can? Everytime I LOGIN to my account and try that, it always goes to a page telling me to call the 1-888 number. Have you had yours turned off for a long period of time, and then just went online and restarted it with a GDMP(green dot moneypak)? If YES, then that would be great, but it...
