    Refer A Friend Points

    I have used you chat feature in the past regarding this issue and wasn't able to resolve the problem. Has anyone else tried to redeem their points for bill credits? I am currently only receiving 1 credit offer.

    Refer A Friend Points

    Is there a limit to the number of refer-a-friend points that can be redeemed for bill credits a month? Last month I applied 100 points for (10) $10 per month bill credits and I would like to apply some additional points for more bill credits, but when I logon to MyDish, that option is not...

    Reception Problems with HGTV

    Is anyone having problems receiving HGTV? About every 5 to 10 minutes, the picture will pixelate and loose sound for a second or two. I just had my dish realigned so I don't think it is an alignment problem. So far, I have only seen the problem on HGTV. I have a HR44 receiver if that matters.

    New Installation

    I am about ready to order Dish and was wondering if anyone has a referral code that they could provide me? How much money will having this save me?

    Joey 3

    I would call my local retailer if I had one locally that was any good. Would it be safer to just order a Joey 4K since I don't think there is a way to specify a Joey 3 when ordering online? I'm primarily interested in the speed of the receiver since I don't have a 4K TV yet, although I hope to...

    Joey 3

    I'm about to order Dish online at dish.com and was wondering if when you specify that you want a joey receiver will the installer have the joey 3, or are they still installing joey 2's?

    Ordering Dish

    I am going to switch from DirecTV to Dish and was wondering if it would be better to order directly from Dish at Dish.com or from a local authorized dealer. Any thoughts? My thought is that if I order locally, I might have a better chance of getting the equipment that I want, such as the Hopper...

    Will I get a Hopper 3?

    After spending two years with DirecTV, I am planning to switch back to Dish. I am planning to place my order for dish online through dish.com, and noticed when you select that you have excellent credit, Dish suggests the Hopper 3 as your primary receiver instead of the Hopper 2. Can I expect...

    Disposing of Old Receiver

    I recently found two old Dish PVR508 receivers and am wondering if there is any value in them. I am assuming that I should just recycle them. Does anybody have any suggestions on what I should do with them?

    Channel is currently not available

    I had my directv service installed on July 5th and still get a message when tuning to an "on demand" channel that says the channel is currently not available. For example when I tune to channel 1000 I get a message that says "1000 (DTV) is currently not available". Also, when I select menu...

    What equipment am I required to return after canceling service

    I am planning to cancel my Dish Network service next week and was wondering what Dish will require me to return to them. If I am going to have to send back the dish and the LNB, I will have the installer that is installing Directv remove the dish from the roof when he is here. I really enjoyed...

    Refer-a-Friend

    Today, I called and ordered Directv and was told I could take advantage of the refer-a-friend program because my dad has a Directv account. After getting off the phone, I realized that the AT&T representative didn't ask for my dad's directv account number. What should I do to make sure I get the...

    Suggestions for getting the best price

    I am currently a dish and u-verse customer and am considering switching to Directv, primarily because of the $75 / month price for the Ultimate package for 24 months. My parents currently have U-verse and DirecTV, but both services are billed separately because they started their service with...
