    VOOM on Uverse?

    I just got U-Verse. I dropped Dish for it. Dish was getting expensive. I got internet, phone and TV for the price of my Dish account. DISH nickled and Dimed me. The HD PQ ( IMHO) is as good as DISH. I do not like the DVR at all. Overall, I do like it. More HD is on the way as they have to...

    Did L441 break my VIP-622

    I just had this happen with my 622. It was due to LNB drift. They are coming to replace this this weekend. DISH is doing it for free. The check switch error seems to have root cause in the LNB drift. Bill

    Problem with Receiver or Switch??

    I had this happen to 2 receivers 508 , but not the 211 and 622. Then the 622 has a issue. I called DISH and the tech said I had an electrical issue. I have seen this in several like this one and I wonder if this could be a DISH issue... Any thoughts

    Audit Department HELL!

    Well I have to disagree with you on this on - Zero. Business still depends on the cash flow given by customers. I am a director working for a fortune 20 company. This company could buy E* in a second. The axiom is treat the customer with respect. Cash flow is important. That is why we have over...

    Audit Department HELL!

    quote Zero327 "Most audit issues such as these that get blown way out of proportions are a mix between so-so business practices, and a customer who feels whatever they want is a birthright. Sometimes this feeling is justified, and other times its not. But one thing never changes, no matter which...

    Audit Department HELL!

    Phone lines If you have all recievers to a land based line ( same number for each box) & it shows this in the system info portion of the set up, would you still be audited? I thought this would satisfy DISH Terms of Service. Bill

    Sky Angel Plans to Charge Lifelong Subscribers for "Special Secular" Channels

    Well, if Dish has problems with channels raising prices or passing on increased costs( Many posts on this site), then so would Sky Angel have to incur them as well. They probably signed a long term contract for carriage and they do not play hardball like Charlie does when the channels like this...

    Question for HD Fans

    My wife went through the HD channels and she said it looks great and noticible better. That means a lot ! :) I saw that the picture does look a bit sharper . We do not subscribe to the movie channels.

    VOOM Programming NOT Impressive

    VOOM is great. Rave, Rush and Equator are great. I am a Kung fu junkie... My wife says that I am addicted... :D

    What is done in an audit?

    I have all the recievers hooked to a phone line. Would I be called? Also, if I have a reciever that was replaced by a DVR and stilling in a closet gathering dust would that be a subject to an audit? Inquiring minds want to know...

    HD local LIL in New Orleans

    Scott, Early in the year DISH announced cities in 2006 that HD LIL would be shown. New Orleans was one of them. As I look, I see some cities still have yet to be linked up. As I read your "Team Summit" blogs, I noticed that you felt that no more LIL would be set up this year. Could you...

    Bird 61.5 and 129w

    Fantastic... I would be able to keep the superdish and 61.5 . Avoiding the 129. I think that the HD may be placed on 118. DISH Tech services is mum. I asked.
