    More SiriusXM channel changes

    Some of the personalities on 60's on 6 need a prozac prescription. Yes, the world maybe coming to an end, but I don't need to hear about it from Brucie or Pat St. John.

    Any value in the 508 receiver ?

    I've got 3 508's with outdated smart cards. Have not had them active for +/- 5 years. I've looked at ebay and there is a fair number for sale. I see that the 508's are being replaced by Dish. Wondering if I might just be better off junking them. Any suggestions ? Thanks !

    New customer deals for July 2011

    Maybe some can start a new topic about new customer deals for July - cause after four pages of replies - this thread ain't it.

    Cinemagic getting pulled from XM Satellite Radio on 7/1

    Please let us know how that goes. Wanting to cancel XM is one thing. Actually being able to do so is quite another.

    Is this an official representative calling from Dish Network?

    The fact that E* shares personal customer information with these third party hacks speaks volumes on just how far this company had slid in a slimy underhanded way to prop up their bottom line. If Dish wants to upgrade my programming or equipment, then call me directly. Oh I forgot, all their...

    Just a friendly warning about DishStore.net/Metro25's rebate scam

    Yes, but do they tell the customer the shipping and handling charge is $16 ? That seems a very steep price for someone to send out a rebate check.

    Is Dish even trying to retain its customers?

    Actaully it does basically boil down to economics. All of the providers pretty much offer all the same programming. Unless one is a real sports fanatic then you'll stay with Direct but otherwise it's all the same game albeit at different pricing levels. Cable and Satellite with their non-stop...

    Is Dish even trying to retain its customers?

    Well the OP gave a very rational and well thought out reasons why he left Dish. I also agree that the the business model has changed and we as consumers need to accept the changes. What that means is that we'll all have two sets of dishes on the roof - one for Direct and one for Dish as well...

    A very interesting problem finding XM reciever ID in a 2007 Chevy Silverado.

    Go on the web and get the instructions for pulling the radio. It is very simple to do.

    XM Annual Renewal

    Be glad many are because if they didn't, XM wouldn't be able to subsidize you paying just six bucks

    Hawaii Five-O: Season 1

    The real-deal Danno died today (James MacArthur). Hhe reportedly died of a broken heart after seeing what his beloved remade Hawaii Five-O has become. RIP Danno. However, death can't come fast enough to this new version.

    Hawaii Five-O: Season 1

    The title of this thread is "Hawaii Five-0: Season 1" After watching the first episodes and really trying to like it, I doubt there will be an need next year here for "Hawaii Five-0: Season 2" The chemistry between the actors is just not there, the writing is mediocre and it's just not believable.

    Any News on MLB Channel on Dish?

    When one really compares DISH charges with the competition such as D* or cable offerings, is Dish's bills really lower ? When the competition has MLB or Sunday Ticket and/or other offerings Dish refuses to provide ? When those price comparisons are made, I doubt E* costs less and in fact may...

    DIRECTV to Offer Local Channels in 172 Markets

    As another inhabitant in an unserved area (Binghamton, NY) I can't hardly believe it's true. It's been 10 years at least since the rumors were swirling that E* or Direct were just weeks away from delivering the locals. When Dish lost the rights to distants and All American came in with their...

    "Dish Quality" team

    If it were me, I'd want some compensation from DISH for the inconvienance of having some stranger tromping through the house. If DISH want's to make sure things are done right, then they can ride shotgun in the installers truck.

    Contract up, big price increase

    I just hope that all those of you that jumped on the OP, were not participating in any of the 100 + threads complaining about the new equipment pricing fees. To the OP, I would call Direct and your local cable provider and see what they can do for you. I did just that four years ago and...

    Annual Cost Increase

    I down graded from the everything to the Ala-Carte for $7 a month. For that you get to pick 50 channels with the exception of Stern and some other premuiums that I never listened too anyways. I had a difficult time finding 50 channels I wanted. Outside of the 10 to 15 I listen too most of the...

    Im unplugging my phone lines on 2/1

    Two comments; first, unplugging the reciever will have very little impact (if any at all) on sending a message. What will send a clear message is if subscribers remove receivers from their accounts or downgrade programming. That is an immediate impact to E*'s bottom line. Having failed that...

    Rumor Alert - Dish to offer all locals!

    Read the article. Seems to me that there is still a long ways to go here before Charlie can make any credible claims about providing all 210 DMA's. This is just a House Committee vote to let the entire House vote on this and then the Senate has to have it's say.

    Rumor Alert - Dish to offer all locals!

    I'll believe it when I see it. Just one of a thousand promises Dish has made over the past 15 years. Hell, they can't even meet a 6 month committment on a reciever roll out or bringing a new provider on line or anything else you can think of. To sit there now and tell us that in TWO years...
