I purchased the dual OTA dongle for my Hopper 2 which dispalys only one OTA turner. I called the seller and they told me that after a Hopper 2 software update scheduled in May both OTA tuners will display. Is that correct? Anybody here try the dual OTA dongle on a Hopper 2?

I have been a Dish subscriber for 17 years. We long time subscribers see deep discounts given to new subscribers while we pay full price. Dish does grant on request from time to time a small discount, but nothing compared to the ones given to new subscribers. I understand that the discounts to...

Owning versus Leasing both have pros and cons. I personally have chosen to own my equipment. Economically, the leasing folks are better off than I am, but I have a little peace of mind. I do not like being locked in a two year contract in this economy just in case my company downsizes and I am...

Anyone having trouble tuning to Channel 204 Tru TV? It is the only channel that I get the "satellite signal has been lost" error and I am getting it on multiple receivers. I have checked switch, reset the receiver by unplugging it for 30 seconds, unplugged and plugged in the switch. Does...

Zero..Walt Disney said that the guest (customer) may not be always right, but when they are wrong, let them be wrong with dignity. If we all ran our businesses where the customers are always right, the business owners will always be broke...

The point of this experience is that certain CSRs did not treat the customer with dignity. A customer has the RIGHT to be treated with dignity regardless of their account status. It is a problem with any company who employ CSRs. No matter how much you train, there will be those bad apples who...
