I was looking to upgrading to Dish Latino Max, They still listed at $52.99 on their web-pages, where in fact it is $57.99. Can't believe Dish, would that be considered false advertising. Anyway, if I'm on the Eastern Arc in Vermont, would there be some programming in the Dish Latino max package...

Dish Charged me $15 to get a replacement unit when my 622 crapped out 2 week ago. It's their way of doing business, I don't like it. It's their unit and they charge me for it monthly lease fee and yet I have to pay when it dies. Really considering a switch from Dish, but not now with the WC...

Has the uplink center move or is it temporarily down?

You absolutely keep your receipt/Tracking number for everything you ship especially with Dish. A couple years ago, I sent back my faulty 211, after a few months I started getting calls from dish to call them back. After a third message they got nasty and threatening if I did not call them. When...

Well, I checked the site earlier and it had data from Sunday that showed apogee and perigee almost the same with a 13deg inclination. Wonder what happened they went back to friday data

6 months, plus all the fees for DVR fee, every receiver fee, plus the suspend fee. Also watch out when restart (un-suspend) that they don't charge you for not having a phone line tied to you extar receiver(s). They did that to me. You have to check everything Dish does

all Burlington, VT DMA stations to switch tonight Burlington, VT/ Plattsburg, NY DMA stations all decided to pull the switch today. Screw congress they said, we are ready, we want to cut expenses and they plan to throw the switch at midnight. Only one station need to modify their broadcast...

Got mine yesterday, 622 and 211

discrimination I see this as a discrimination issue. If you think of a satellite dish as an antenna ( which it is), then these local stations are discriminating against the folks with one type of reception antenna vs another type. I support Charlie on this issue...and like some other poster...

Turbo HD I too had to suffer from August to November with the indian csr's who pretended their names were Suzan and Laurie and peter etc... Why would I believe a csr if the first thing they do is lie about their names. I finally emailed ceo@dishnetwork.com. Threathen then about going do D* or...

Funny, you ask. I had a bad 622, and after some on the phone debug, they decided to replace it at no charge. They send me a new one and a Return slip for the defective 622. After about 6 weeks, they left me a message on the phone to urgently call them. When I called them they said I need to...

This does not come as a surprise I hope. D* offers a lot more than E* in term of programming, have less problems with programmers. I have been a customer with E* for over 12 years, and I will drop them "soon", for the simple reason of not being able to get HD only. Probably the D* does not...
