I am still under a 2 year contract (signed up in Feb of 2008). I am paying about $41 per month right now (including HD-DVR, locals and the $29.99 programming DishHD). I heard rumors about price increases. Am I subjected to that? Is there anything I can do to get out of the price increase...

I have the $29.99 Dish HD package (stand alone). Will I be getting these channels (other than the Cinemax I suppose). Actually I also have Cinemax for a penny for a year deal. So, I should see those also.

Super Dish or Dish 500 I am a first time dish customer. Just got my installation done a week ago. I got the Dish HD package. The installer got me the Dish 500 3-LNB dish. I have the VIP-722 receiver and I have signed up for 2 year commitment. I asked the installer if it would be better...

Experience with the 722. It is a pretty nice piece of hardware. My old Sony DHG-HDD250 was sluggish. The 722 is a lot better. Also, the OTA tuner in it is very sensitive. I could not bring in an out door antenna into my basement since I have only one coax coming in, so I hooked up a silver...

I got my dish installed yesterday. It took forever!! I hate the wiring in my house. The basement was finished by the previous owner and I don't know what they did to the wiring. There are four coax outlets in the basement alone and only one worked from the outside. I was using it for my...

I have never had Dish before. I just called the dishstore people and signed up for DishHD + Locals + HDDVR for $40.97/ month. My installation is scheduled for Sunday 2/24. I know I should request the public access channels (including Colours) for free after the installation. I called Dish to...

Feedback needed on DishHD I don't have any cable/dish right now. We get our HD OTA only. My wife and I are tempted to get the dishHD package. I have a question to those that got the dishHD ($29.99 deal) recently. Do you think it is worth it? Do you actually watch all those channels or are...

Well, some people are still getting it. I wonder if I have to sign up first and then hope to get it.

I am new to this discussion and thinking about getting the dishHD. What is this 1 cent Cinemax you guys are talking about? Any details.

I have never had dish. Does Dish have a historic record of retroactively adding channels to a package (when it becomes available). I would like to know where Dish would put SciFi and USA when it does become available? Logically, this should be added to all current DishHD ($29.99) customers...

The CSR said that I could get 722 or 622 or 612. They will choose but I can request one in the installation comments. That seems a little awkward. What happens if the installer brings the wrong one. I want the 722. I haven't ordered yet. Still debating. I watch mostly local HD using a...

I have an OTA setup for locals. Do I really need to spend $5.00 for free stuff!!

I just confirmed with the CSR, that one HD-DVR with dishHD package is 29.99 + 5.98. That's it. Add $5.00 for the locals. Also, they have cash back rebates to for $120. (1st, 10th and 20th month).

I went into Dish Builder and did the dishHD package (I am a new prospective customer), and I don't see the dish enabling fee. I chose DVR - it says $5.98 for that. It also gave me a $39.99 rebate for the first month. Apparently, I will get that rebate for 10th and 20th month of service too...

So is there a HD access fee or no? Any hopes of getting USA HD and SciFi HD.
