    Are Dish America packages a thing off the past?

    I back to reading this forum again. Quick question. Are the Dish America packages a thing of the past? I have the Dish America 49.99 for probably 3-4 years now. I only watch 3 or 4 channels that are on that base package and serves me well. When I log into my account I don't see the other Dish...

    Just a belated update to my old problem. I replaced the dp separator and did the rescan and all three satellites are back now. I did not have to troubleshoot the LNBs. Sent from my ATRIX HD using Tapatalk

    VIP 622 DVR failed possibly

    Looks like my VIP622 will not power up completely. When I press the power button it lights up the fan races for a few seconds then it just sits there for few mins then it starts to cycle off then on with fan racing then off again then repeats. I took the Power plug out now for a couple hours...

    Eastern arc dish performance in bad weather

    This is my first winter experience with the Eastern Arc dish. Complete signal loss when snow/ice collect on this dish as in today's storm in Southeastern PA and snow storms of the past two weeks. Never happened with my previous setup 61.5 and 110/119 dishes. Very unfortunate. Right now it...

    Thinking of going from Top 250 to Dish America gold

    Mojo, I finally decided to try out the Latino Max with HD Max and Plat. as well. I dropped Cinemax. The channel numbers are really different with most of the stations. Most of them end up in the 5000 range. I guess I will have to get use to it for the time being. At least I cut my bill by...

    DISH RETENTION

    I didn't know this hibernation is possible. I may end up doing this for myself because of a financial situation and unemployment. Presently I have the 250 package with HD250 add on and HD plat. I was originally thinking I would reduce to one of the HD only packages just on Price point. I...

    Thinking of going from Top 250 to Dish America gold

    A lot of good info in these posts thank you all. Looking at Scott's document lay's it out nicely. It almost seems illogical that the Dish America packages are not more in line with the HD add-on's. It's almost like they are discouraging the new HD format by doing that so they can make more...

    Thinking of going from Top 250 to Dish America gold

    How does anyone know how and what Dish network plans to do with the HD channels and HD for life? I mean at some point broadcasters will just have HD only right and Dish will still end up with packages we will have to pay for and everyone's so called $99 pay off fee. I just think the $99...

    Thinking of going from Top 250 to Dish America gold

    Sure I could if I put out 100. I kind of wished that included platinum too. I don't know if just saving 10 is good enough right now where I could save 33 doing it my way even though I would have less channels over all.

    I am sure this is old news to most here but I got the email about changes?

    Maybe you should call Dish Network back and verify your getting an upgrade and its the Eastern arc. They didn't request any kind of charge for this at all. It was totally free upgrade for me. Maybe check your credit too while your at it just to be safe.

    I am sure this is old news to most here but I got the email about changes?

    It's to bad if trees are in the way atleast in the winter time when the leave fall you would get signal. I guess a pole mount from the ground on the other side of the tree won't work since your in a community association. Technically you should be allowed to have a dish as long as your...

    The eastern arc dish is points fairly high into the sky. It won't hurt to have them look in to it. Having just one dish is nice.

    I believe the HD250 is the "add on HD" for the 250 channel package.

    I am sure this is old news to most here but I got the email about changes?

    I am in the belief that if you have HD channels you should have recieved the notice that I got above and yes you would have to call them. I can't tell you for sure if you don't have HD if you need to do anything.

    I am sure this is old news to most here but I got the email about changes?

    I just wanted to bring closure to this topic. I finally got the free Dish upgrade this past Saturday and I am looking at 61.5/72/77 now. It's great that now all the Satellites are on one dish. The tech that came was very professional and quick. He told me he don't know when all these upgrades...

    Are you or have you signed-up for HD or Life?

    How did some of you have HD for life automatically for free? I had auto pay and paperless billing for many years with Dish. The last promotion I was in that just run out was the Cinemax for 1cent for 18 months. Now I have it for $13. As far as I know I was not in a contract. I have the...

    SatelliteGuys Review: Logitech Revue with GoogleTV – A Diamond in the Rough

    I take it that the Revue only connects to a tv via HDMI right? I have an older set with HDCP so I guess this wont work. Also, is this Revue capable of viewing Windows Media Feeds like MMS? Can I go to a web page that has MMS links of live TV feed and click on them to watch? Not being able...
