Well I just rolled the dice and decided to find out what they would say to me this time about the price of the upgrade to a 622. Now a tech told me that they are offering the $200 dollar rebate to everyone that waits until April. I even asked if this was only for people with the 942 and he said...

I am a noob when it comes to this stuff, but how exactly does this work? I know you send your 211 to them and then what? Do they add an extra port to it? How does it connect to your computer? Do you have to play back from your computer? UPDATE: Ahh I see now. That’s still pretty Ghetto though...

Today a rep from E* called me to reschedule as well. The reason was "shipping problems". Not a surprise. They tried to schedule me from Feb 11th to the 25th. I told them I have heard about the install price dropping in a couple months and told them to cancel my order. Hell, if its going to take...

Called 7:55 AZ time (MST) Completed call at 8:25. CSR was somewhat nice but not warm and fuzzy. I currently have a 522 and a 311 with a two room setup. I have a 500 Dish They required that I do an install. The install date was for 2/11 (I lucked out!!) They did not quote me any price for the...

Actually there was case that went to the Supreme Court saying they can not sell your house underneath you. The only thing they can do is fine you and then put a lean on your house for those fines. Then they can only get payment when you sell your house. With that and the fact that the FCC law...

I did notice that they will increase my price 20 dollars a month for the new packages. Which I think is a little high. I don't think the 5 other HD channels are worth other 5 dollars a month. But I think the best money saver would be to setup a tier system biased on category. I could care less...

After checking out www.stophdlite.com it seems that they say there may fiber issues that are accounting for the lower resolutions. Does anyone have any info on this? It just doesn't sound believable to me. Here is the link: http://www.stophdlite.com/hdlite/dish.html

Great thanks a bunch!

I am guessing that the $299 charge is for a lease, right? Also what is the contract length? 18 months?

I am a current subscriber that has the 522 without a contract. Would I have to sign a contract if I upgrade to the 622? Thanks

You guys rock!! Thanks for the info!!

I have heard a lot about HD-LITE and I personally agree that it’s not the best thing in the world. But to make my decision between cable and Sat permit I would like to know which channels are in the HD-LITE format? Also will that change when MPEG4 rolls out completely? Also on a different note...

Do you guys know the pricing for the new HD plans?

Are they adding more channels the normal HD package or are they just getting rid of voom completely?
