MIL says they did ask, and she did say she was moving, and they told her to return the equipment. She says she specifically asked if she could take it along, and they said it had to be returned.

I'll check and see if they gave a SSN first time around. I don't know if the CSR asked why. If they didn't maybe we can leverage that to get a deal.

And have moved east. They did not use the Dish Mover program. Now Dish wants to charge them both for installation and for a whole new system since they are "existing customers." Partner mentioned the former customer situation when she called. As I remember, it was a combination of...

Right ... you know there is an auto-off setting, right? Mine was shutting off all the time too until I disabled the auto-off.

Thanks for the quick reply mdwatt. I'll do just that.

So I bypassed the switch and indeed, the even tp channels on 119 were still out. However we noticed that they come back in in the evening. In fact, after a few weeks of observing, when the temp. outside gets to 75-80, the even tp channels come back. Now, I have a Superdish with 110/119/105. I...

Verizon dug up my street last week laying the Fios cable. I'm crossing my fingers for quick service offerings. I've been with Dish since '96. When they pulled my local listings from the 811, that washed it for me. I'll get broadband (vs. dialup), as many channels SD, and enough HD to interest...

Thanks a lot for the info guys ! I'll try the switch bypass as you suggested. Just happen to have an inline connector handy. Enjoy your holiday !

Sitting here today and ESPN just went away and got the "lost satellite" message. Tried a 1-finger front panel salute, unplugged the unit for about a minute, did some check switch operations. Some clouds today, but this has been going on now for 4+ hours (no rain and not even "heavy" overcast)...

Based on when it was introduced, I'd say 2nd or 3rd gen. I just picked up a new Samsung ATSC tuner. OMG. It locks even the weakest signals instantaneously. I wish I had stopped f*ing with the 811 much sooner. The Samsung is using the 5th gen chipset.

So I discovered. I told my roommate to answer NO to the update question. I was at 3.82. Next thing I know, like a day or two later she calls all apologetic. Didn't think she hit the Yes button to the update, but the local guide data was gone. They just rammed the update into the box. Not...

Omg. I'm so glad I stopped here to see the story with this update before accepting it. It will never go onto my box. Come on FIOS. They're digging in my neighborhood, but are still several blocks away ....

How far are you going to be from that set? In a 25x25' room, 50" sounds awfully small.

Thanks guys. Any opinions on good quality but not too costly unit for Sirius? I'm trying to decide betw. Sirius and XM ... so far I like XM programming better, and actually since we get the music channels (Sir.) on Dish it seems like I'd get the mostest choices that way. But if I find that...

Does anyone know? The thread has been inactive for many months now.
