Just to update- I spoke with my next door neighbor and he hasn't changed anything, but mentioned that he has just recently been experiencing the same type of problems with his TV 2, along with unexpected channel changes when he's not even touching his remote. Strangely enough, I have started...

Ahh, yes. I didn't read that right. I thought the OP went directly online to confirm. Sorry about that.

I got the same e-mail too- the day after I saw this post.

The OP said they initiated a chat with DISH online and the CSR confirmed the offer was legitimate? WTH??? Something definitely is stinking there. I hope the transcript was saved. I mean, after that a customer's concerns should be relieved. Wow.

That could be. It wouldn't hurt to ask him. Thanks!

Thanks Tampa8

Our next door neighbor has DISH, but they've had it for years as have we and we've never had this problem before. I'll check the settings. Maybe they've reset somehow. Thanks.

My "wheel" around the select button on one of my remotes doesn't work properly (channel up won't work at all and the others are sluggish). What's this about free with protection plan? I've always paid $7/month for the protection plan, but when I went on the DISH site it looks like they want to...

The receiver is a VIP722k. TV1 is fine, but TV2 will just shut down without warning. When I say "shut down" I mean it just goes to the screensaver/receiver is off mode where it flashes those tips about navigation and stuff on the screen. If I happen to be watching something that I've recorded...

HA!HA! I didn't know about the legalities either. Oh well, at least Zanesville got a CBS affiliate. Hopefully they can understand the "dialect". :)

UH-oh. I actually live about three miles outside of Athens in The Plains, OH. I didn't think it would make any difference, but I looked it up and it is SIGNIFICANT! That's incredible (to me anyway) that the chance would be that drastic. And just my luck, it's negative, not positive. :(...

Hey, thanks for that link Iceberg. That's interesting. It looks like I would have mostly grey areas, but I do see a CBS affiliate in red- WOWK, that I'm familiar with and I like WSAZ, which we haven't been able to view since switching from Time Warner Cable to DISH. We've been with DISH for a...

Thank you all for the replies. I didn't realize locals would be tough to get. Yes, we live in rural Ohio so, lots of the Appalachian foothills surround us and I'm pretty sure a rooftop antenna won't get it. I wasn't just asking because of the one particular channel. We've lost a few this...

I'm interested in FTA. My interest was prompted by my local CBS affiliate holding DISH hostage for a 450% price increase which ended up with us not having that particular channel. Assuming this type of thing will begin happening more frequently in the future I'd like to have a FTA option to...

:mad:WBNS posted this--> http://www.10tv.com/content/stories/2012/08/29/wbns-dish-customers-notice.html My comment to them: I'm sorry WBNS / Dispatch, but this is all on YOU and your greed. I'm hoping we can get a CBS feed from Charleston/Huntington, WV. Frankly I don't care where it comes...
