Time Warner Cable came to the house first for internet and appears to have "claimed" the only line going into the house. It is a new house for us and should have thought about the services installation order. I had dish come out for the install today and said it would be impossible to put...

Super great info. I'll give dish a call and try that route. I just bought the house and want things done "gently". I actually hoping to have the dish placed somewhere other than my roof. We'll see. navychop, I may hit you up for that later if needed. Thanks

Yeah , I think that 1 hopper / joey would be enough for us, and add a joey if needed later. How do I find a good reliable installer? Can a subcontractor get me set up with dish or do I still have to go directly with dish to set up the initial service?

Hey DIRT team, I'm going to be setting up service in Austin, TX around the 1st of July and need some recommendations on installation. Should I just call dish directly, go local, or some random website? Also what is the price difference/functionality between the 2 hopper setup vs. the 1 hopper...

I think I will shop around a bit. We'll see. Dish was always really good to me and I loved the service, just trying to save the most money possible. It seems that the prices keep going up.

Yeah, I see your point. It was nice to have some of my old grandfathered things like cinemax for a penny and various credits, but i'm sure other things will come along.

I lived in Western NY and had dish for the first year I was there. After a few summers, some of the trees completely blocked my signal and I had to go with FIOS for the last year. Now we are moving to TX and I am thinking of re-activating my account. Any ideas on special reactivation offers...

Funny thing, I did have to explain that I was on an older package. Thanks for the answers guys. I would trust any of you 100 times over the CSR (especially Scott). I plan on keeping the HD absolute as long as I can. I wonder if I can get reception 6 feet under!!

I was just stating what I was told by a CSR through a chat. Any ensuing pandemonium shouldn't be pegged on a false post. If the CSR was confused (very likely) then we can blame them, but I am just trying to ask what I should do, or if anyone here knows more.

Hey guys, I was on a chat with customer service the othe day about sone of the pricing changes and was told that I would lose my HD Absolute in a few months. Is that true. I don't wan to switch but do I have any bargaining power if I do?

FYI, I just tried to get the FNC added to my programming because I am dishAbsolute. No luck, I was told everything from, just wait a few days, to it won't come to me ever. I almost had a gal switching it on for me but the phone got disconnected as she sent me to tech support. All they could...

So, I just switched to the HD absolute about a week ago and I am wondering if there is a way to 'strech' the picture when the station is not broadcasting an HD program. I know I can just change the aspect manually at each station, but it stays on stretch when the HD content comes on. I want it...

I noticed on the recent Charlie Chat that Las Vegas is no longer on the list for coming HD locals. Why would they remove a city? This makes no sense to me whatsoever!!!

Anyone know of a good 'move' for someone in Las Vegas? We are dying out here in the desert. I wonder if we will pick up Los Angeles when it goes live, but even then, I don't know.

I talked to the CSR on the phone, then a supervisor, and then an account specialist. I got the fee waved by the account specialist. He was super nice and didn't hesitate to waive it. The CSR and supervisor would not budge. Now I am having a hard time connecting my 80 GB passport HDD to the...
