I am thinking about re-configuring my current package of America's top 200 to Dish America Package and adding in HBO premium. When I look at my profile page online, the HD addon is checked on all packages except Dish America. I was wondering what that HD addon actually is and if I am missing...

Dirt Memebr contact for upgrade and questions I am interested in upgrading my current Hopper to a hopper with sling. Why would someone upgrade to HWS vs. just getting a sling adapter? Also, can DVR content be transferred from current hopper to new one? Thanks

Hi- I am a ten plus year subscriber with no lates and auto pay. I tried to do an upgrade over the phone this am and the csr said I had to be in front of my receivers before he can process, and since I am at my office, I won't be able to upgrade :(. Not sure why there is this requirement since...

I have a 1000+ dish setup that supposed to receive 4 satellights 110, 118, 119, and 129. I have recently been having trouble with reboots with my 622 VIP and decided to check the settings and performed a check dish. I have come to find out that I am not receiving ny signals from 118. Is this...

Thanks for the info...Just got back from Lowes and sure enough, when I asked for a chain link post, they had what I was looking for. Can't ask the for a 1 and 5/8 in diameter metal pole, because they don't have it. But ask for a 1 and 5/8 in diameter "Chain Link Fence Post", they sure know where...

Live in a condo and I want to redo my dish antenna install to clean the look up on the balcony. Don't worry, this is because I want to, not because the condo association is asking me to do. My question is what diameter pole do I need to get to put the dish on. I have the 1000+ so I can pick...

Viatalk with a prefix added to the phone setup of "*99#" works here!

Thanks for the info...I'll call again next week.

Does anyone have information on how to go about getting a Dish 1000 upgraded to a Dish 1000+ and the costs (hopefully nothing) so that I can be able to recieve the upcoming HD Locals in Charlotte, NC? I called customer service and they had no information (as I expected).

Now this statement you made is silly. Think about what you just stated. If a DVD is available for sale (legally) in a store located 500 miles away from where I live, you are implying that I have no right to purchase it because I do not live there. My point, simply, is that once content has...

I would think that CBS, or any national network for this matter, wouldn't object to where a consumer picked up their content. ratings is what it's all about. Ok...if they don't own it, then there is no copyright issue with the local station then... To me, it is simple...or basic as you...

I am not advocating theft of copyright material...I am just advocating access to it paying any and all fees, royalties, etc...Let that be my choice and most importantly my right as a consumer...

It's about choice and the freedom to choose! If I live in one city, but would like to view programming from accross the country, I should have the right to do it because the technology is here to do it. By not letting me choose, I feel it is now a restraint of trade or monopolistic behavior...

Thanks all for the feedback...and the planter suggestion is great...never thought of that!

I will be closing on a new condo in Dec. As expected, condo rules forbid penetrations into the building. I do have a southwest exposure from my balcony so I do not expect a LOS problem. Here are my questions: 1) I read some postings about a "flat" cable option to go through a window or door...
