    Do installers go on the roof in the winter?

    Of course the safety of the installer is more important than my $50 referral :-)

    Do installers go on the roof in the winter?

    I am a long term, happy Dish customer. I convinced my parents to take advantage of a bundle deal with our local telephone company. When the installer go to their house, he immediately went to the side of the house, mounted a dish and proceeded to tell my parents that he couldn't get a signal...

    Service call for upgrading from 622 to 722?

    So I am now elligible to upgrade my two - 622s to 722s (I could use the extra space and a Sling Adapter is on my Christmas list). I called them up and said no problem, but that a technician would have to be dispatched. When I asked why, they said it was needed to install the boxes. I further...

    Rochester, MN (#154) or Rochester, NY (#80) locals "coming soon"

    I was the one that said it was mistake, however intended to be sarcastic (hence the "/end pipedream" footer). I know they don't go in order of DMA, just frustrating that DirecTV has been offering HD Locals for a while now.

    Typo I believe one of their slides has a typo. I am sure they meant Rochester, NY instead of Rochester, MN. /End Pipedream

    More HD to move from 61.5 to 72.7?

    When the installer came out, he told me that his boss told him to try and use the 500+ plus to get all three, some sort of experiment. That in the next month or so they are going to be coming out with a "Border Dish" which they think is really just a 500+ with "a new sticker" as he said...

    More HD to move from 61.5 to 72.7?

    Last week I had 110/119/61.5. When the new HD came out on 72, I asked Dish via chat "What can be done to get me the new HD." They sent someone out, from Dish, who gave me a 500+ and has it aimed at 61.5, 72 and 77. And then I still have my old 500 aimed at 110/119. When you say they are not...

    Statement from DISH - Not Getting the New HD?

    Tech left, here is the summary: 1) Didn't have any trouble getting someone out here, did pay a $15 fee (which I am not going to get excited about, even on principle). 2) I had 2 - 500s pointed at 110/119 and 61.5. CSR put in the computer for the tech to put up a 1000.x to grab 110/119 and...

    Statement from DISH - Not Getting the New HD?

    Thanks for the heads up. It is my understanding that I am going to have a 500 pointed at 110/119; and then this new wide dish (the tech keeps referring to is as a "border dish" pointed at 61.5 and 77. But I will certainly be sure to verify.

    Statement from DISH - Not Getting the New HD?

    Tech at my house as we speak I have a tech at my house installing some jumbo dish to get me the new channels (I was on 110/119/61.5). I can tell he is a knowledgeable guy because one of the first words out of his mouth was "by the way, what the CSR told you was wrong . . ." *rimshot* I was...

    2/10/2010 2:07pm - Uplink Activity Report - 97 changes

    My Situation I am located in Rochester, NY. Bundled with my telephone company for the last 4 years. I have 2 - 500's pointed at 110/119 and 61.5. Signed on to chat, asked what could be done about getting me access to the new HD channels. Without any question or begging, someone will be here...

    Dish network called me a thief and cant live in a 2 floor house!

    My two cents While no one really knows how the conversation went between OP and Dish, here are my inferences: 1) The OP is an excitable and easily angered person - based on the original post. There is a lot to be said with a calm manner of speaking to people with an auditor from Dish, and...

    Dish never shut off service VIP622 stolen!!!

    Not quite sure whether or not the service was on or off had anything to do with whether or not you owe them for the receiver. Bottom line is that you are leasing it from them. And whether it was stolen while you were outside cutting the lawn or on a trip around the world, they still want it...
