    Dish's site

    I hate it when they try to make changes to their website. It always involves not being able to log in for extended periods of time. Right now I can't connect to Blockbuster . Leave it alone please.

    Blockbuster Stores may serve as Dish Customer Service locations

    Currently if you have a bad receiver Dish sends you a new one and you send the old one back. You then connect the new receiver. I don't see how this proposed change would suddenly make people need a tech to do the connection for them.

    Holiday Movies on PPV for 5¢ each, starting on December 21st (Please see list before ordering any ki

    Why would anyone pay(even 5 cents) for movies that will be on many many times between now and Christmas on non PPV channels? TBS usually does "A Christmas Story" for 24 hours straight.

    OFFICIAL DISH / FOX ORDEAL DISCUSSION THREAD

    I was under the impression that a person could set up their lists any way they so choose. If I want to block EVERY channel except HSN that is my business.

    Platinum HD Question

    It is $10, and in my opinion it is worth every penny.

    Unknown payment on statement - mistake?

    If this happened to me I would be contacting Dish. Eventually you will have to pay. Might as well get it straightened out right away. The longer you wait the more screwed up it could get. JMHO.

    Why did I EVER Switch?!

    Good job with the comparison chart. I am rather surprised to see that Dish seems to have the price advantage in almost all packages. I like them for their DVR advantage.

    no more freebies for me

    I agree. You shouldn't be charged for something that is free. Dish has poor billing practices. Their "free" is not worth the hassle.

    Wow stupid People

    I can understand the frustraion of the customer on this problem. He ordered HD programming. The installer put in the equiptment, but didn't make sure he had the programming. I think the customer should have not signed off until he was satisfied. At least 2 installers in this thread were...

    If Charlie ran a TV station...

    [QUOTE=jwgreen68;1823606]Well, this wasn't for a job. It was for an all expenses paid trip to see Taylor Swift in concert. That changed to my choice of Sugarland,Brad Paisley,Reba, or Darius Rucker. Also, they decided to just pay for the airfare and hotel. Would you like to hear the voicemails...

    If Charlie ran a TV station...

    Charlie's station wouldn't be on D*,E*, or cable. He would be holding out for a better deal for his customers. Turbo subscribers would be getting screwed. Charlie would not be giving them new HD. We would be sitting around on Wednesday waiting for the uplink report. He would hire overseas...

    Steroids vs Pete Rose

    Baseball is very selective about enforcing their own rules. When a new commisioner takes over all rules are enforced differently. Selig should have been kicked out years ago. I think they need to stop protecting all the steroid users and give them the boot. The users and the protectors are...

    For the 2nd time I'm a few days late on my bill and..

    I think people with an "entitlement mentality" is the reason we are in this mess. Work for what you want. Pay for what you get. So now we bail out people that don't pay their E* bill?
