Back when I was with Dish, I had good success getting a response from Charlie using charlie.ergen@echostar.com . Every other dish employee's address uses this nomenclature so I just guessed and got a response that sure seemed to fit Charlie's style and a follow up from one of his assistants that...

I am not ready to subscribe since I only have a 5 minute commute to work but I heard them Friday night for they Ungagged show on 150 and they seemed pretty funny and ready to come back. Kind of surprising they were not more prepared with all the buildup.

OK, I just signed up in May when I got my Hr10-250, if I change my programming to get the free 6 months, does that cost me a downgrade fee or anything?

On all the DirecTiVos you can play any recording no mater how much is actually recorded at the time. In theory, you could record something and watch it essentially live the whole time if you want to. Since it has dual tuners, you can watch something previously recorded (completely) and record...

Sweet! Hopefully it will fit in the old Skyfi cradles as well.

I think it was at DBSforums, I remember it as well. Not really a close up look at the actual sats but at least a reflection from them and a listing of which was which.

All my stuff is grounded but I do not by any means anticipate it doing anything with a direct hit. In fact, the NEC requiring grounding is probably more in case the dish antenna somehow becomes energized the electricity has some place to go other than whatever random person happens to touch it...

If you have an old Dishplayer in the closet you should try selling it. You would be surprised what they are worth now, a heck of a lot more than $50.

It went well once I realized the D* switches need a seperate power line run to them, they don't use a power inserter in a regular receiver feed like E* does. I'm real happy with the DirecTiVo's so far, especially the HR10-250. :) E* gave us a little bit of a hard time but once my wife told...

Kevin, sorry about that, I had lots of stuff going this weekend so I was a little slow but we should be all set now, the Switch is going out today. Thanks. Lee

You can edit it to have nothing in it or email a moderator.

OK, after over 6 years with Dish I have recently changed to DirecTv with the HD DirecTiVo and will be selling my Dish Equipment. I have the following up for sale: (1) Dish Network 6000 receiver with 8VSB tuner module and 8PSK upgrade module, now $550 shipped via UPS Ground to the lower...

you have got to be kidding me, it is $585 right now with days left to go. I have to get mine on there immediately!

Limited allocation? Is this more limited than the 350 you originally thought you were getting?

Scott, hopefully this source has read the last few tips you got from E* that promissed all the great new info that turned out to be crap. ;) The superstation thing would be cool as that is the one thing my wife does not like about our impending switch to D* but I doubt that will happen...

I have signed the petition a while back but keep in mind that you should contact DirecTv directly as well as that will make more of an impact.

Unfortunately, Dish does not have much more HD than D* right now. They both need to get on it in regards to adding HD content. They always say that they will add channels when they become available yet there are several HD networks currently running or that will begin service very soon that are...

Well, I had been paying the month to month fee until I called several months ago and complained enough to get them to take it off. They have not reinstated the fee as of the last bill.

Interesting in that Dish actually has something to announce that they held back from giving to you previously and did not announce at CES 3 days ago or interesting because of the chat?

Grandma probalby can't run the 921 either with the whole thing of deciding which subchannel to record and all. ;)

Hey, as many times as we on the net have collectively whined about Dish releasing stuff with bugs, I sure can't blame them for holding back a few more days. Now, it would have been even better if it was done months before now and I'm sure E* feels the same way, seeing as how they missed the...

Yes, with similar waiving of the fee with a certain level of service commitment. The D* does apply per account and not per DVR though IIRC.

Like looking out a window? ;)

That's what gets me about the whole thing. It has never stopped them before and personally, I will be floored if there are no major PITA bugs when it is released. So why did they delay, is the software still totally unstable, hardware issues, they finally decided to release something without...

Did Charlie really say tune in to the next chat for 921 info? You have got to be kidding me!
