IF this was a year ago and DISH were pulling the same antics it is now--which is, instead of all 21 VOOM Channels, only 15 and HD-LITE. Also, ditching the LIFETIME network (only network playing old reruns of UNSOLVED MYSTERIES, one of the most popular programs ever) and LIFETIME MOVIE...

It was not quite a year ago I ordered VOOM and I didn't realize all the HD I had been missing and wonder if we EVER will see everything we had all in one place with VOOM???? No hint of Starz HD at E* and not the other Movie Channel HD either--no Universal HD, etc. However, I did pick up E* in...

I have been a Dish customer since May 7 and am becoming quickly disillusioned with the HD. I get their basic HD Net and then the Voom channels. I had to call them about something (Tech Support) or other and asked about HD--the tech said they were not even sure they would carry the 21 VOOM...

I have been watching the VOOM 10 for about 2 months now--as well as HD Net and HD Net Movies. What is really a wonder is the HD Pay Per View Movies--that has real potential, but it also repeats itself and mostly just Imax stuff, not first-run flicks. So, VOOM wasn't the only one repeating--so...

I ordered from a local retailer and I noticed that the Install agreement he brought with him has a Promo Code Prefix in the upper left corner--I would think that, before the install begins, the customer could request that the Referral Code he gave when he initially signed up be written up...

Has anyone who has given out Club Dish Referral Codes (for local retailer use) had the Code go unused because, when the potential new subscriber gave the code to the local retailer, the local retailer used one of his own instead? If so, how can this be avoided?

I have only 2 Club Dish Referral numbers left, so if anyone wants to get in on the Top 180 for $19.99 before it expires tomorrow, please PM me (click on my username) and I will send you the numbers to save $50 on your activation if you use the numbers at signup. These have been going...

WRONG--If you use a Club Dish Referral Code--You, the customer get $50 off the Activation, but you STILL get the $49.99 credit on your first bill. I used a Club Dish referral and paid nothing (except the 942 receiver lease fee of $250) on install, but I did get the $49.99 credit on my first...

Someone posted on another thread that they were not allowed to both get the $19.99 promotion and the Dish Club Referral Discount for new Subscribers of $50 off the Activation (making it free, but still getting the $49.99 credit on the first bill). However, if you go to this website...

I have never heard of the "switch" fee as a new Dish customer--where did you get this quote? Also, if you lease the 942 for $250, it is leased and from other posts on this and the Dishnet forum, it is most likely your 942 will be upgraded for little or nothing for the MPEG-4 if it is leased...

I saw this thread over on the Dishnetwork forum and wondered where the source for that would be--it was via an installer, so must have been just idle gossip, but then, one never knows--time will tell.

Just a reminder--you can use the Dish Club referral discount with a Local Retailer. That's what I did and was able to have them point the dish to 61.5 without any extra charge. Please PM me for a Dish Club referral number for your $50 discount and some tips on working with the Local Retailers...

This was posted under Dishnet Forum, but if any VOOMERs are still figuring out how to cut their install bill by $50, I found that getting a DishClub member to give you a referral member will cut $50 off your initial install--that's on top of the $49.99 credit on your first bill. That may help...

I had this exact thing happen--have called CSR's twice, as well as my local retailer through which I ordered dish--the assured me I would get the additional credit--on next month's bill, so I am going to pay only what I owe them this month (thus deducting the proper amount to account for the...

Are you referring to FTA HD broadcasts--similar to what we get on the Pansat 2500 and other DVB receivers, but in HD? I know there are several stations in HD FTA, so if you have any further info on configuring this hidden menu, please post. Thanks

After I posted my first impressions of the 942 Install Saturday, I found that Dish had set up my billing wrong and NOT given me the $19.99 Dish madness special--it took at least 2 calls (3rd to the local retailer) to "try" and get it straightened out. Instead of my owing $10 on the first bill...

I just had Dish hooked up Saturday--but with the 942. PQ acceptable on SD (better than VOOM) and HD about the same as VOOM--have yet to watch all of the channels to evaluate that further. Other issues: My OTA works better--I have the Voom OTA coming directly into the 942, which powers the...

I have had much better luck getting responses re: new Dish items after VOOM here than at the Dishnetwork--they have never had VOOM Customer Service and sometimes either ignore or are a little disgruntled with newbies who ask dumb questions for the switchover--hey, give us at least 90 days to...

In another thread on this forum, someone quoted a DSR as saying that, in answer to a complaint by west coast Dish subscriber that he could not get the VOOM HD on 61.5, he could try when they move them to another satellite. So, if that is true, then anyone who had a dish at 148 or the other...

I just read in another thread that a west Coast Dish subber was told by a CSR that they could not get the new HD channels "until they switched satellites"--I found that very interesting--if that means to 148, then those than have a dish pointed at 148 would not need to buy a $100 dish to point...

[I could not get the VOOM channels until they switch to the new satellite. :D Oooooohh, I find this very interesting--until they switch to the new satellite, per the CSR? Well, then, everyone who is paying $100 for the extra dish because they don't get locals on the 61.5, may not need...

I don't understand how 40,000+ people are willing to shell out $100 for a new dish for 10 channels, when they got a free VOOM dish, with less hassle and 39 channels available ??????? The channels selection for DISH is incomparable (for SD) to Dish--all the good stuff in the VOOM package. How...

I have been looking under the Other Satellite Services portion of this forum and seriously considering this as an option--I understand the DSR500 is almost same as the old VOOM receiver and has good HD and SD PQ, but channel selection in StarChoice is ok, but not great--if they happen to pick up...

On the other threads, there are several people, on a daily basis, who are posting that they got a waiver for the $100. I have tried a local retailer and he cannot install the 2nd dish for locals--DISH has to do that.

Is this because your locals happen to be on 61.5 anyway? That's my problem--they are only on 148. My local retailer has no control over the install of the locals dish, so thus, can't get it to be the VOOM dish. Your locals must then be on 61.5.
