    New to DISH - When to call for service or when it is expected

    I am losing service with both, and the Blockbuster at home question I wasn't sure if it was related to my hopper or Blockbuster. Since I ordered everything though DISH, I am not sure where the issues originate. Just looking for a little help.

    New to DISH - When to call for service or when it is expected

    I apologize if these questions have already been asked multiple times. I have been having intermittent service, so I have not been able to search for more than a few minutes until I lose connection. I just desided to jump in here while I still had service and ask the question before I lose...

    Pay Up Front

    I don't quite understand this. For 1 tv I should ask for a 612 or 722 DVR? Again, I am going to find a retailer, but I do like to know something about the technology before I pay for something so they don't try to sell me something I do not need.

    Pay Up Front

    I do want a DVR, and $10 a month is not bad in my opinion. I am just wondering if other providers charge additional fees for the DVR in addition to the monthly fee.

    Pay Up Front

    Well, I do understand this is a DISH forum, so I expect people to try and sway me to DISH. The house I am moving into now has a HughesNet satellite already cemented into the ground in the back yard. That would have been my first pick, because equipment is there, but they din't want to use that...

    Pay Up Front

    That was one thing the sales guy on the phone mentioned. I could be misunderstanding the equipment, but he was trying to throw a Joey in there, but I was thinking the Joey is if you have more than one TV. Is that correct? I told the guy that I only have 1 TV. Do I still need a Joey?

    Sorry, for repeating myself, for some reason my posts are a little slow refreshing on my end. My zip is 37774. Thanks for all of the info. It has been very helpful!

    Pay Up Front

    Sorry, my reply was a bit slower than your Stardust. I do see that there are some that do take the number but hold it until the time of install, and I am perfectly fine with that. One other question, DISH says that the Hopper is free to customers, but there is a $10 per month DVR fee. I don't...

    Pay Up Front

    Well, I don't mind them taking the number, and I understand that, but do they all charge it up front?

    Pay Up Front

    That is crazy! Well thank you for answering my question. I am for sure NOT going with DISH now. I never give ANYONE my credit card before any work is done. I can't believe they have a whole network worth of people who do.

    Pay Up Front

    The guy on the phone never mentioned any of that to me. He just said he needed a credit card and would bill the amount to me right then and there. I asked him if there was an option to pay at the time of install and he said no. I told him then I would have to call other providers to see if there...

    Pay Up Front

    I am moving to a new house where the only option for internet or TV is satellite. I called DISH and was told that I needed to pay right then and there for service instead of paying at the time of installation. Giving someone money before they do any work to me is ridiculous, especially since I...
