Just when I decided to dump BEV and go to *C, I see there is a dispute between *C and what ever the Canadians call their FCC. That government agency wants *C to stop their HD broadcasts, because they don't have channels dedicated to single sources. The only reason I need Canadian satellite...

Would you believe they shut me off again? They just shut me down for a week, because they did not send the new smart card. That took two more days, of screwing around, to get activated. Here we are , about ten days later, and they shut me off AGAIN, at 6:15 on a Friday night. So I can't...

Thanks chewey. 1st hand experience is the most reliable info.

Thanks Scott. It seems that some people are happiest, when they have something to bitch about, whether they know anything or not. Like anyone, who has been with Dish for any time, I am aware of, and have endured, the receiver and software problems. However, in all fairness to Dish (or if you...

Thanks Scott. I'll pass that on.

Dish has been selling the 34" direct view and the 40" RPTV for some time. I have not seen any reports on the customer satisfaction, with these units. Does anyone actually have either of these and are you happy with it? I don't need this; but my daughters big TV died and she is looking for a...

Disregard! They finally answered the phone at 9:20 PDT. Short story, they blame it on BEV not sending the new card. Supposed to have a new card by next Friday. I'm about at the point, that I don't care if it's BEV or Freeway; but I have to have the new card, before I can sell the damn...

Does anyone know what's with freeway Support? Yesterday I lost all my HD progrmming, because I don't have a new smart card. Two calls, with a promises of a call back, produced no results. Today I get nothing, when I try to call. No answer. No answering machine. Are they going out of...

Don't have a nag#, that I can find. Just a dozen or so "junk" channels and Red Guide on everythig else. :mad:

Who's your broker? Yes I do use freeway. Why does the broker make a difference?

:mad: Is BEV stupid? I am aware they can not knowlngly sell to the US. But they have to be dumber than dirt, to throw away the revenue. As long as they pretend we don't exist, all they have do do is deposit the money. Is their goal to have us cancel service? They have shut me off...

Actually, I have no idea. I guess if someone reports actually losing reception, because of no new smart card, then it's true. I'm just happy to not have a problem. :)

Everything working fine. Glad the story, about needing the new smart card, was total BS.

Is the change over time 0001, of the 30th; or midnight of the 30th?

The 921 requires two cables to work. The only other option is a new switch. I think the DP44 (if that's the correct term) is now available. It allows the use of one cable. Someone here must be using it and can give you more accurate info.
