You could try calling 1-877-DISH-PPV

As I said, eventually the chat rep said call. But only after prodding and arguing for a while.
Had I not pushed the issue and just taken their word I would have just used the cert for SD and not got the full value.
Really bothersome that false info was provided. I haven't needed Dish CS in years, but it was much better the last time I did.
This all started because I couldn't recall the costs and wanted to be sure of what the cert covered before deciding what to use it on
While it's good til Dec, I won't be able to use it after Sunday (out of the country til mid Jan)
I was just wondering if anyone else only sees SD listings on the website.
Login to MyDish, then select the Order PPV tab on the left.
All I see are SD listings. I wonder if it;s my account or just something screwy with Dish.
It appears that HD Free for Life was removed from my account at some point (don't know when), so the system didn't think I got HD.
Now after that was added back I see the HD PPV options online.
What's weird is I've been getting everything in HD correctly, but now they want to move me to EA instead of WA (where I've been since at least 2010 when I last moved). I have some reservations about this. Time to research EA more.
You may not have a choice, they are taking some locals off WA and they will be only on the EA. If they want to move you it is very likely yours are slated to come off WA. I wouldn't think DISH is spending that money just for the heck of it!
Maybe DIRT has more info.
Is there a list of the ones they're moving somewhere?You may not have a choice, they are taking some locals off WA and they will be only on the EA. If they want to move you it is very likely yours are slated to come off WA. I wouldn't think DISH is spending that money just for the heck of it!

"Jessica is the one telling me I need EA to get all the HD channels even though I get them now (at least everything we watch). Nothing about locals being moved or any other reasons. Just that I need EA now for all my HD channels."
Ahh that is different than what you originally posted - that you get everything in HD correctly. I guess it depends what satellites you now get and if you are missing channels you don't know about that made her remark about the change. If you feel you are not missing anything and they are not (yet) saying you have to switch then you could stay as you are. It is also possible she didn't go into details about it being an advance move for when your locals will be moved.

Hey dog, do your HD locals come from both arcs? Maybe the plan is to have them only on a single arc....
I get the full WA. And all the locals that are available in the market are on WA currently.
Well, to add to the mess I was checking LOS for EA. I just don't see it. Where I'd have to put the dish is a bad spot to put one.
Especially compared to where it is now (in a nice, protected nook on the west side of the house).
Sure, if there was no alternative, you do what you must.
Anyway this wandered way OT. The point was Dish no longer listed HD free for life on my account even though I'm getting everything I should in HD. That's why I wasn't seeing the HD option on the PPV order page.
I am not sure that Dish even requires HD Free For Life to get the HD programming anymore. I honestly do not know why Dish continues to list that on the bill and advertise for it, since so many packages include HD feeds whether you have HDFFL or not.
True, but once Dish removes all of the SD feeds from Eastern Arc, shouldn't all of the programming be free?
It has nothing to do with 'programming,' just what they might charge extra, and they did at one time, for...True, but once Dish removes all of the SD feeds from Eastern Arc, shouldn't all of the programming be free?

It doesn't have to be there to receive HD, but w/o it the PPV ordering system didn't think I had HD.
Right, but the HD PPV movies were still available. It just wasn't as convenient to order them. This is more of a problem with Dish's website, rather than an actual requirement to have HDFFL in order to be able to order HD PPV.
