    MTV hits

    i think the best music video station dish has is IMF. only commercials they have are 1 PSA every 3-4 videos & maybe a station promo. i don't understand why mtv & mtv2 have 15% music videos & 85% useless stuff . however, i like jackass, viva la bam & team sanchez. i wish they would just have 1...

    Dish/Sinclair Dispute

    i hope someone steps in. 2 of my channels are supposed to be going off , but one of them is the wb, so i don't care. fox is kind of a loss though. i don't think any station should be allowed to act like sinclair is. i'm lucky enough to pull the, through ota. i know alot of you are not unfortunately.

    Dish Expands High Definition Package

    the 2nd dish installation includes any additional switches so you will probably get bumped to a dpp 44. more than likely with the bandwith, any more additional hd channels could be added on the 61.5 anyway. plus you get those really compelling public interest channels. :p

    Dish Expands High Definition Package

    from what was understood, the former voom customers must have the hd pak in order to get the additional channels. i assume its going to be the same for exixting customers if they are allowed to have it.

    Dish Expands High Definition Package

    i, uh, know an employee that works for the dishnetwork call center. :D when the news came about, it sounded like it was supposed to be included with the hd pak at no additional charge. that was basically what was in the press release. then it was told that only voomies would have access to this...

    Scott can you validate this?

    the first dish employees heard of this, they told them that it would only be available to voom customers switching over. then a little while later, it sounds like it would be available to anyone with an hdtv reciever & 61.5. knowing dish, this will probably change...

    Dish Expands High Definition Package

    i know as an hdtv sub myself, there would be hell to pay if the channels were accessible to new people but not me. i mean if we got the right equipment & are willing to pay the money, then let us have it. what does dish possibly have to think about?

    Check Your Bills closely

    i'm not sure if this is the problem that your having but there was a problem for customers whose bill cycled on a certain few days in january where the computer forgot to charge them for the dvr fee. so dish network found the mistake & is trying to recover their mistakes by charging the fee on...
