Exactly what you told me to do KAB. I will PM the DIRT folks, and keep it out of the forum. I really wasn't trying to start a ruckus. Like I said, I appreciate the constructive criticism and the help from everybody.

Yes, directv had a significant discount on year 1, then it falls of considerably, but a discount would have still been there in years 2-3. Looking deeper, KazooGuy nailed it. Once the fancy discounts wear off, you are actually paying more. The Dish Move In deal gets you free installation...

Just thought I would provide an update. PM'd Jason from the DIRT Group. He was very nice, and connected me directly to the loyalty folks at Dish. Dish will be keeping me as a customer for the foreseeable future. Very happy with what they were willing to provide for a loyal customer. The two...

cosmo_kramer - Yes, Matt from DIRT (at the time, not sure if he is still around) was able to help me. He was great, I talked to him on the phone, got the new 622, and all has worked since. lazydogmot and KAB, thanks for the heads up on how to start a PM with DIRT. Last time around (as...

Perhaps I could have phrased my message a bit better. I am not perfect. I appreciate the constructive feedback. I will contact Dish and see what options I have. I am out of contract for sure. Can anyone tell me how to PM the DIRT folks? I don't know how. I have been a customer for about 10...

Wow, I was addressing the DIRT folks, but thanks for snide comment. For the record I have been a customer of Dish for about 10 years. I have paid for each and every upgrade that I have received. I don't even want to think about how much money I have paid dish for their service. I have been a...

Hello Dish Internet Response Team, I will be moving in less than two weeks, and I believe it is time for me to part ways with Dish Network. I have been a customer for quite some time, and a happy one at that. However, with a new home, I am going to be looking for ways to shave off a little on...

Hello, I have a ViP 622 that seems to be on it's way out. I have unplugged it for a couple days on multiple occasions and had some limited luck getting it to work for short periods of time. I have been a customer for a LONG time, and have been very happy with my service. I am looking at...

I have two Harmony remotes, the 550 (a lot like the 520) and a Harmony ONE. I like them both, but I LOVE the ONE. I put 5 remotes worth of codes into this thing. It has a Favorites Menu for channels, and you can find the little Icons for the channels online for free. I love the fact that you...

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to All! Thanks Scott for all that you do.

Makes me wonder if they messed with the Homeplug stuff to get it to work better with home networks, and now that is why my connection from receiver to receiver is having problems and suddenly many of us are getting a surprise "access charge" for not having a phone line connected.

I had a problem with a barrel connector. I was not using a Dish approved wall plate. An inspector who dropped by the day after a DIU upgrade checked it out and replaced the barrel connector. It was the line from my receiver to my 44 switch that carried the power inserter. I would have never...

This is precisely what I just did. I sent my OTA and Dish Network Ch.60 (modulated) channel on seperate cable to behind my tv (only have one Coax input). I used a standard Splitter/Combiner and ran both onto the same cable. Everything works, although the Picture quality of the TV2 leaves a...

Is this the first time you have tried to get it to work, or did it just stop working? The reason I ask is that my DishCOMM just stopped working (according to dish on 8/11). There is a thread here about other folks have similar problems with DishCOMM that did not have it before. My thought is...

Isn't there something we can do as a community to let Dish know that until they sort out a problem they created, we feel collectively that they should not impose the fee. Scott, can you poke around? Either they need to fix it or not charge. I don't really even care which.
