Be careful using dish pause. I was quoted $100 upgrade a few months back -put our account on dish pause for a couple of months - then was quoted $400 for upgrade to 1J/2H. Although no one at dish could confirm - it had to be dish pause that triggered the higher upgrade cost. Took a few...

I would like to be contacted about upgrading to 1H/2J. Currently have 722K.

Yes, it is same way for me, wish I knew what was wrong.

No, still too much money

This situation doesn't sound too bad at all. Considering 4 years ago in a 2 week period was the only time someone could purchase lifetime service on this old machine, it is no surprise there was customer service confusion. The call did take too long, but at the same time, you were threatening...

Actually, as soon as I heard they were system issue, it made perfect sense. Dish is tied to their system when doing this stuff, and as we've seen in the past, many people have had to suffer a lot of because limititations in their computer system. (sorry sir, you can not add more...

Weren't there many problems with DNSC and the rollout of 811s? I think many people were upset with the 811 situation. Calls confirming your install was on, to have no one show up. Another call to say someone was coming to only have the installer show up without the equipment. Staying...

pccables.com maybe?

Yes, as long as a new directv system is $300 for a new customer, switching will be difficult. While the extra $44 (pay year in advance with dish) in savings in switching to directv would be nice, it is not enough to offset the new receiver price.

yeah, I had a work hard drive fail. Crap like that just happens. Now if the second one fails.....

lol, classic.

Does that work well? Anyone recording the music channels to mp3, or WMV format? If so, does it sound ok? Is that legal to do?

That is quite nice. Glad to see some companies still know how much small things can really affect employee morale. I'd be happy as heck if my employer even did something remotely close to that.

Yeah, I wouldn't want to just pay the $50. It is the inability of dish customer support to handle situations like this that is most frustrating. You tell them they are only moving 1 receiver, when they show up to move, they should only move 1 receiver. It should not matter if there are 3...

You used to have reasonable responses to people that were choosing dish over directv, but the tone of what you are writing has gotten worse and worse.

lol, satellite war.

That letter sounds good to me. People have a choice, if they don't like two dishes, fine.

Please, get a grip. If you believe what JBKing has written, then you are just a realistic person, not a horrible person. If I had $800 of dish network equipment in my house, you bet for sure I would know what would happen in case of loss (insurance coverering it, etc). And if I did lose...

Wow, imagine a cable company printing this article on their website.

Perfectly said JBKing. Plus, the article doesn't even mention in this case whether homeowners insurance actually did cover the rented equipment. It just said some do not.... It also doesn't mention the how much they truly need to pay for their lost equipment.

Hmm, the one over the air tuner doesn't bother me all that much. Would still have dish locals for $5.99 anyway for the guide info. All this machine needs is firewire.

I lost sat a good bit yesterday when a big storm came through here in NC (storm front right where satellite was pointed). Normal reception is 114/100. Not too often storms big enough come through, but they do, it is a pain, but I put total loss of satellite at most 2-3 hours a year for me...

lol, NBA is plenty legitimate, especially the playoffs (or was Derek Fisher's shot to beat the spurs a ploy to get the high rated lakers further in the playoffs :confused: )

I do wonder what ratio of HD customers have a dish pointed to 61.5 or 148. My guess is a large percentage didn't get into the dish HD picture until the cheap refurb 6000 and 811 deals were going on.

That many people really have a dish pointed at 61.5 and 148?
