    Why Does Dish Network Refuse to Provide a Hard Copy of Pricing

    I don't ever remember dish providing a hard copy of their pricing like that, prices vary and can change without notice so the price on the flier does not have to match what you're finding now as it can change. It's possible that price was the going price during the start of summer and as it is...

    Been away for a long time, dropped in to say hi and chat a bit

    I figure that most if not nearly all that are active now weren't around when I first joined the site though I am friends with an old member off the site. I first joined when the site was new and I was an inhouse installer for Dish back when it was a single lnbf and receiver setup and you would...

    Why Does Dish Network Refuse to Provide a Hard Copy of Pricing

    My experience today while looking to return did not give the option for a hopper 3, it was limited to the hopper 2 so it's possible that either they do not have any in their inventory or they are trying to empty their remaining stock of 2's if it's being replaced by the 3.

    Lost 20.0 remote TV functions

    My advice, have your pillow talk voice ready, phone reps are getting hit hard by unruly customers and a nice pleasant experience can go a long way.;)

    Why Does Dish Network Refuse to Provide a Hard Copy of Pricing

    Prices vary in cable and satellite. Part of it is promotions and these vary by the vendor and third party involved. It also varies by location, equipment, packages, number of tv's and the agents can sweeten or sour the deal depending on how things go during their interaction with the customer...

    Lost 20.0 remote TV functions

    That's what I meant. Without opening up the remote at this point it's hard to say what exactly is wrong with it. Some times it can be a component that the solder has loosened up from being handled and dropped while other other times it can be liquids that have worked their way in or has just...

    Clean the spring and contact pads with acetone or a high grit number sand paper, oxides build up on these as does other things and can create an insulator that reduces or even blocks the flow of current into the device.

    Contour?

    I don't have contour but I do have cox and as far as service goes it lives up to its name and unfortunately there are no other options such as verizon fios in my neighborhood.

    ManCave contest

    Its not working for me either but my problem is that I cant click on the enter me button because it acts as if its not clickable. If its a flash derived program it could be because I'm on a power pc G5 pre intel processors.

    The last year and a half

    I've had allot going on over the last year and a half which has kept me busy and focused away from my normal leisure activities including coming around here to cause a little trouble. Work has taken up allot of my time due to every day being a challenge in having to learn how to do something...

    Anyone in LA good with cars?

    Ok she lives in Koreatown and works in Hollywood and can get over to places like Silverlake Melrose and West Hollywood. As a side note she is also looking for an additional part time job. She has an extensive customer service resume as well as being a Jill of most trades including music.

    Anyone in LA good with cars?

    Working on the location now. Francesca seems pretty knowledgeable about cars but she sold off her tools along with other items to make the move to LA and the way the issue happens has me leaning towards a faulty radiator cap seal or a failing electric fan.

    Anyone in LA good with cars?

    I have a friend who just moved out to LA and she is having a problem with her car overheating intermittently despite having been topped off with coolant. Since I'm on the other side of the country I can't do anything more than guess but if anyone here lives there and has some time to help out a...

    os x leopard 10.5

    Finally got it to work by using two different terminal commands that I spliced together and tossed out some stuff. Most every site tells you to type mount -uw then rm/var/db/.appleSetupDone to tell the computer to rerun the setup program as if its a new computer but this isn't quite right...

    os x leopard 10.5

    Consider it to be something like a non admin account similar to a guest or user account. So I can boot the comp up, after the spinner a login window pops up with admin as the user and a password which I enter and then I can use the computer willy nilly but not make changes to the software such...

    os x leopard 10.5

    I haven't tried it but I read that it wasn't useful if you don't know the administrator name. This is what's weird about my situation. During boot up there is a log in window for admin which I have the password for that account. Now any software updates or downloads for that matter...

    os x leopard 10.5

    Just so I'm clear on this, any os x install disc will work and the ubber nerds behind the genius bar will not charge me to fix this weird admin account issue?

    os x leopard 10.5

    Tried those with no luck, I think I'm going to need the os x install disc's to get it to work which is going to be a pain since I paid $100 for the computer with keyboard and mouse and various cables. If anyone has a legit version of the os and isn't planning on using it please contact me.

    os x leopard 10.5

    I got my hands on a used G5 powerpc with dual processors and loaded with adobe editing software galore but guess what, I can't update anything without the main admin user name and password and the only one I've been able to find and change in the terminal has been the login admin and password...
