That's the wonderful thing about a credit card. If Dish screws up the billing and refuses to correct it, it's chargeback time! Now, linking Autopay to a debit card or checking account is a completely different story.

I had the exact same thing happen a few minutes ago, it said I owed approximately $250 (even though my monthly package adds up to $11.49 and I've ordered no PPV or other events). Looks like Dish Network is having some pretty odd system issues, because another poster in another thread said that...

According to my online account, both Showtime and Starz are $12.99 each and HBO is $15.99. TMC is included with the Showtime package if memory serves from my DishNOW days. You can choose to get just locals, but you would be subject to a Service Access Fee of $6, plus the cost of the locals...

Looks like I have the cheapest bill... so far. :p

Yes, I converted the DishNOW 301 from the post that you referenced from April. In my previous post I was mainly curious about Dish Network's current policies regarding equipment eligible to be used on FlexTV.

Thanks for the info! I was able to successfully get the Latino Welcome Pack ($9.99), KTLA ($1.50) and 1¢/yr. Cinemax for signing up for Autopay last night. BTW, CNN en Español is the one included in the latino welcome pack. Even though I don't speak Spanish (though I'd like to learn) I went...

I have a couple of questions about FlexTV: 1) Has anyone gotten the 1¢ Cinemax deal on either of the welcome packages (either English or Spanish)? I read a few pages back that one poster was told that the penny Cinemax deal wasn't applicable on the welcome packs, and the lowest qualifying...

Wow, it was probably my very first install. I had no concept of what a L/O frequency, polarity, symbol rate or any of that stuff was. I was aiming for 97W (G25 at the time ;) ) and had a few of the settings wrong, but I kept scanning around in vain and finally gave up for a couple of days. I...

It all started with a Globecast dish and receiver I purchased from craigslist for a good price and pointed to 97W Ku. I believe the first channel I saw was Al Jazeera English. :)

Sounds like a neat product! Sign me up too! :)

I used to love going on vacation to North Carolina and Tennessee as a kid. We always visited the gem mines, panned for gold and fun stuff like that. Exploring the countryside is always quite fun, and it's something I still do to this day!

I'll be sure to give them a good home! :D I would also like to thank Robby and the gang down at WS International for offering a new home for these dishes to us SatGuy members first! :up I'll be sure to post pics once I get them all installed. The two 1.2M dishes are going to replace my...

You have PM on all 3 dishes. :D

I came into this hobby for the numerous news feeds and other fun wild feeds that you occasionally run across. :) I am a major news junkie, so I am right at home in this hobby!

Sorry to you are having trouble with activating service. I activated my new prepaid receiver on Wednesday evening, and was transferred to a CSR in the same manner chdn has been (once I entered the GDMP and R00 number into the automated system, I was transferred). I guess my case is the exception...
