    DISH Drops AMC Networks (AMC Back on DISH channel 131)

    Yes, where those who don't carry cable will be fined...and those who cannot afford it will be subsidized by those of us who can. :strike:

    Specific Date for Cancelling?

    Yes, you can set a date. When I moved to Time Warner recently due to their great win-back offer the Dish rep asked me what date I wanted the programming to end.

    Cancelling DISH

    I just canceled recently due to a great win-back promo from Time Warner. The Dish Rep I spoke to asked if I could safely get to the LNB...so I am sure they do not require it if you cannot. Also, they sent me my boxes for return of equipment and did not charge me at all for them. I have been...

    Switching from blockbuster total access to blockbuster@home question

    Mary is right. It worked perfectly for me when I switched it over like you are asking.

    When has that ever happened in the history of mankind? :p

    DISH Drops AMC Networks (AMC Back on DISH channel 131)

    Everyone else can just skip over this post, but for gpollock. :p We just moved back to Time Warner and we have FearNet and it is a great channel. It has gotten more air time than probably any other channel in our home this past week or so that we've had it. :D Keep up the fight. ;) Oh...

    Two Hopper Installs are part of the 2 Percent

    Agreed that PTAT is a wonderful tool to help avoid tuner conflicts...no doubt about that. But when only 4 of 250+ channels (1% to maybe 4% of your total viewing options depending on your package) fall into that category, I agree with you that the "record up to 6" is misleading a lot of people...

    Two Hopper Installs are part of the 2 Percent

    I appreciate that information, Mike...and I don't argue with it at all. However, I would simply like to point out that 46% of households do not have a "spare" tuner, unless by that logic it is expected that everyone is restricted to one tuner at a time. What about all those nights where I want...

    Two Hopper Installs are part of the 2 Percent

    Yes, and I hope they definitely are listening, because that is one of the most arbitrarily ridiculous "rules" I have ever seen a business put in place. Seriously, do they even watch TV? I don't see how they could possibly think 3 tuners is any shape or form of a "whole-home" solution. The...

    If Dish drops AMC, will you drop dish??

    Hi empiretc. Yes I will put details there. ;) Sorry if anyone thinks I pulled the thread off-topic. I was definitely trying to comment on the AMC topic as it relates to my situation. And I still intend to hang out here in the Dish section as much as possible. Too many cool folks here to...

    If Dish drops AMC, will you drop dish??

    I have decided to go back to Time Warner because they made me just an insane Win-Back offer (which I will post details later in the Time Warner forum where it would be on-topic). However, I will not return to Dish as much as I like them unless they have AMC when that time comes. Have to have...

    Why are the rental movies so expensive?

    I can't speak for anyone else, but I have never rented a PPV movie from Dish or cable and probably never will. Why would anyone pay $5.99-$6.99 for a movie that is several months old? If it was that important, you could have watched it for a few dollars more when it was brand new in theaters...

    DISH Drops AMC Networks (AMC Back on DISH channel 131)

    Well, I'm a big Walking Dead fan and this would be a bad move from my perspective. Yes, that show is on Netflix, but a season behind...current seasons don't go to Netflix until they're over. As of right now Season 1 is all that is on Netflix (just checked) and Season 2 has been over for a...

    DVR fees?!?

    Just for kicks I looked up the 5 year average Net Profit Margin (NPM) on some companies using Forbes.com (feel free to verify these numbers yourself). I used 5 year averages because they are much more accurate than a report on one year. Dish is 7.9% DirecTV is 8.1% (same industry as Dish) AT&T...

    DVR fees?!?

    Mr. Realist, welcome to the forum! I agree with you totally, but I must tell you that for some, logic is not important. They only want to complain or criticize everyone who believes in the free market system and capitalism. Corporations do no good in their eyes. Of course they seem to...

    DVR fees?!?

    A very large part of the problem with people posting about the "Billion dollar profit" is because they can't comprehend numbers on that scale. As was so eloquently and accurately pointed out, that is well less than $10/mo per customer. So let's pose the real question here: Is less than $10...

    How many subscribers will Dish lose to DirectTV Sunday Ticket?

    Even if we had ST for free, I'd still watch Redzone instead, which is included in the Sports Pack for us Dish subs. That's one of the best channels on TV, in my opinion (when it's on, of course).

    Questions about The Hopper?

    You did say you'd have 2 Hoppers, so you will have 6 tuners (9 if you have PTAT enabled during that window of time).

    Hopper Upgrades

    :welcometo the forum! Just wanted to also make a small correction, the Joeys can see either Hopper. I don't have the system yet but I've read it way too many times on this forum to think otherwise. I'm sure someone will chime in with how to do that. I know it is just a few button presses on...

    Returning to Dish as a "New" customer

    Correct, I have no problem committing to Dish another two years. In fact, I prefer them by far over Time Warner. $450 or so for a three month change is pretty significant though. The TWC deal is no contract, price guaranteed for twelve months. I could be back before football season since...

    Considering they have named a PMOY since 1960 that may not be as big a bonus as you think! :p

    Returning to Dish as a "New" customer

    Mary and all, thanks for that info. Fortunately most that I have DVR'd is movies and I can get those again about anytime, either through Blockbuster, Netflix or just record again. To petesgarden, I have not been here as long as others but in my couple of years here it seems that the best I'm...

    Returning to Dish as a "New" customer

    So Mary, or anyone else who knows the answer to this, if you leave then return 3+ months later, would any shows you have saved on an external hard drive still work once your account is reactivated?

    Leaving Directv for Dish
