    No dish 1000

    Recently called to restart my account and was told that where I live (central NJ), that I am too far in the north east to use a dish 1000 (super dish). They are going to install 2 separate dishes. Not that I really mind but has anyone heard of that before? Is there any thing better or worse...

    Need help ordering

    I called dish to ask a few questions and he told me the second dish was free to receive all of my locals. When I asked about upgrading to the 942 he told me I would have to pay $100 for the second dish to receive any HD channels. No where in the conversation did either one of us mention Voom...

    Has anyone had any luck lowering the $250 start up cost of the 942? That is a big chunk just to lease a dvr.

    Need help ordering

    I want to order dish network but I don't want to pay the $100 for the second dish for Voom. When I play with the "order online" it says I need a second dish for my 8 of my locals, but they are not cbs,nbc,abc or fox. Would they still give me the second dish for the "other" locals and then I...

    What happens Apr 18--autopsy, funeral, or burial?

    Voom can be closed down in 30 days. Is it really dead this time?

    Kind of funny though. I was watching HDNews and it just stopped. The snow ended here hours ago so that is not a factor. Didn't mean to jump the gun but with everything going on it just seemed a little strange. Bill
