Even though we cut the cord several years ago, my wife's parents still have Dish Network at their house, and the service is in our name since we manage those kinds of things for them since English is not their first language. Anyway, I logged into their account today and here's how it breaks...

The illustrations are nice, but I can't help but be skeptical about their accuracy since the internet was nothing like they show during the years before "net neutrality" existed. It will certainly be interesting to see during the coming months and years if all the frenzied sky-is-falling...

Has anything changed in the months since “net neutrality” was repealed? I haven't heard much about it in the news, and people seem to have stopped freaking out about it on some of the other sites where I used to see alarmist references to it popping up in random places.

I don't know much about this kind of thing, but I see that the LNB you showed has three outputs, and my older one has four? Does that have any bearing on anything? All four of mine were connected, so what would happen with the fourth line if someone swapped in the model you're showing?

Mine has the glass on it. I was just careful to position my lights so that I wasn't getting reflections off the glass. But the first pictures I took, the glass was all white due to reflections.

I don't remember it ever having a cap in the center. And the one's I've seen on eBay don't have a cap either.

Yeah, plus $18 shipping, lol. Even so, seems to be a good deal if somebody needs that particular item. I've listed all of my Dish stuff on eBay for what I think are fair prices based on looking at completed listings, but if anybody on here is interested in buying multiple items, price is...

I have a Dish install I'm parting out on eBay (we've gone OTA / HTPC), and I need some help identifying the LNB. I'm not quite sure how to best describe it in the title. Most of the LNB's for sale on there have a model/configuration name (for example, "Dish Network 500+ LNBF assembly") and list...

Ah, that seems to ring a bell. Yes, I was an Absolute customer that held out until the bitter end. I'll have to check the price, but I imagine it's probably not worth paying extra for.

Okay, I've been on Dish's website and this site for the last half hour trying to figure this thing out, but so far I'm still stumped. So here's my programming, and nothing has changed in quite a while: America's Top 200 59.99 HD/SD (2TV) DVR Receiver 17.00 DVR Service 6.00 HD 200 Free...

It wouldn't let me do it online. When I clicked submit it gave me an error message saying I had to call.

And if my experience is typical, don't waste time trying to get the $20 credit (instead of the standard $10) if they initially deny you. I wasted an hour this morning and couldn't get them to budge, even after being transferred to "loyalty".

I think that with AT200 you will have almost everything you had with Absolute, with the notable exception of National Geographic. You will, however, pick up some big channels, such as Fox News and your regional sports networks and a few others. The more you move down from 200, the more you lose...

I just got off a lengthy online chat with a CSR who then transferred me to the loyalty department. They only offered me $10 and just would not budge on the $20 no matter what I said. I did get Starz for 12 months, but I don't know if I'll even watch it. I would much rather have the $20 since my...

I just tried to click "submit" on my Programming page, and it says "Your request cannot be completed online. Please call 800-333-DISH (800-333-3474)." I guess I'll try again in the morning, and hopefully it works. I would rather not have to speak with a Dish CSR.
