joe83: I too had (have) America's Silver with the $7 multi-sport package to get FSC HD. DISH reps had repeatedly told me that the only way to get FSC HD was to have America's top 250. I resisted, and one day dummied up a new customer order to see what sort of sweet deals a new sub could get...

the rep i spoke too at Echostar Colorado yesterday to straighten out my account didn't know the difference with any degree of certainty, so... he advised me to "do your homework" online before i called again! like their Web site is some freakin' prize or something

oh, right, gotcha (found link, thanks)

where is that post? I looked and looked, but couldn't find anything appropriate -- i have rotten luck finding particular stuff within the forum.

Sharon K must be the name du jour -- I had her too, in my one online chat during this particular debacle. (03) Hepsibah T.: Thank you for choosing Dish Network the leader in DVR and HD. I will be happy to assist you today. Please give me 2-3 minutes to access your account and review the...

And because I said something stupid like, "So, how is the weather in India?" or, "You don't work with "David", do you?"

The latest? After a lifetime misspent on the phone, DISH has switched me to HD Turbo Silver with Platinum extension (sounds like I'm having my hair done). For $70.00 monthly total, for a year. With my RSNs in HD. Maybe that dork in India did me a favor... Of course there is always the fear of...

Oh, what an absolute shock!!! They billed me for $80+ for the month ahead. (I knew it was too good to be true, and that I shouldn't have taken any CSR at their word...)

Get p.o.'d about the blackout of the Penn State v. Michigan State football game on ESPN on a Saturday afternoon. Call DISH. Speak to an unscrupulous, argumentative CSR in India named "David" about the blackout of the Penn State v. Michigan State football game. Ask David, "What did you do to my...

Thanks for all the responses. While I am not nearly as knowledgeable as most of you in these matters, I am sitting my big behind in front of the same tv, at the same distance, with the same lack of any expert setup, and I have noticed a decline in PQ. The only other explanation would be...

so i'm not crazy? cool. question is, why do we settle for this?

which thread are you referring to i wonder? http://www.satelliteguys.us/dish-hd-discussions/129440-e-squeezing-bandwidth-hd-channels.html or http://www.satelliteguys.us/dish-hd-discussions/125657-question-about-picture-quality.html

Is it just my imagination, or has the overall picture quality of DISH HD offerings declined over the last month or so? I watched some VOOM, but not exclusively, not a lot. So its demise can't alone explain why I think PQ has gone down hill. For example, even the ESPNs don't look as good to me...

I too miss Rave -- and MHD is as repetitive in its offerings, if not moreso, than Rave, and VOOM generally...

I'll miss the movie channels and the Spanish football league broadcasts, and would think about getting them another way if they were made available. VOOM has issues, for sure, but I do feel that the loss negatively impacts the diversity of programming out there. Of the new offerings, I am...
