I will be moving to a new location & home in June. For the first time I will have a setup with two HDTVs in two different levels in the house (I also have a third SDTV that I currently use on the 722 TV2 tuner). I am interested in exploring continuing my DISH subscription (5+ year member) with a...

I'm really happy to hear this news. I almost jumped for DTV but DISH gave me a retention offer I couldn't refuse. With BeIN HD coming, I'm really happy about my choice to stay.

No, it is my first roku. This was my first time calling since AMC was dropped (I was traveling all summer and not watching TV).

Re: DISH Drops AMC Networks I called today to switch to Direct so my wife could watch walking dead and was happy with the dish counter offer: roku, 10/mo discount for a year, and 3 months of all premium and multisport to match the direct offer. With that discount dish comes in at the same 2 yr...

Bein Sport HD. Fox Soccer Plus HD It would be nice if these channels were in the multi-sport pack.

Forgive the newbie question here. I'm thinking of switching from DISH to DTV because my wife is a huge Walking Dead fan (DTV has AMC) and I'm a big soccer fan (DTV has beIN sport in HD). I'm currently seeing Choice Xtra w/ HR34 for $99 initial setup fee, $44.99/mo w/ 3 months premium channels...

Maybe I wasn't clear--I'm saying that I'm disappointed BeIN is not in HD. I'm happy to hear that E* will pick up Pac-12 in HD, but soccer is more important than college football. DirecTV doesn't even carry Pac-12--but they have BeIN in HD. Dish executive office left me a message today to talk...

For the first time, I'm seriously thinking of switching over to DTV. Adding BeIN and Pac-12 in SD is bush league. That, combined with the ongoing AMC dispute...I think I'm ready to go. I'm pleased with BeIN's production quality for Serie A & CONCACAF/CONMEBOL qualifiers but it is too painful to...

Dish_Answers twitter feed has said multiple times this morning that HD will is "coming soon" but SD feeds could only go live today due to the quick turnaround after the agreement.

I'm seeing the Cal game on 431, 445 & 446. Hoping to see WSU on 446 like the guide says. Any ideas?

When I first joined, it would take 2 days to send, then I'd receive notice that they received my disk and sent out my next disc in the same day for a 4-day turn around. For my last few DVDs, they have added an additional 2 days between receiving and sending the next disc, which means a week...

I recently moved to Pullman, WA. I have access to Idaho Public Television (Idaho PBS network) OTA through channels 012-01 through 012-04 (KUID, Moscow). DISH currently provides the Idaho Public Television SD feed on channel 026-00 (from KCDT, Coeur d'Alene). I am currently seeing no guide...

But they do find a way to screw it up. As I mentioned in another thread--DISH does not provide MLS Direct Kick matches in HD, while cable providers and D* do.

Starting last season MLS offered all their matches in HD on "Direct Kick" ($79 for the season). It is my understanding DirecTV provided all or most of the matches in HD, but DISH provided all or most of the matches in SD. I just asked a CSR about the 2011 season and was told: "We don't want...

RSNs come with Dish Latino Max, so if you live within the Big Ten region you will get it (I am in Ohio, and I do). Like RandallA said, stations broadcast in their default language. Dish often cuts out SAP for channels that actually have it (FSE is a good example), so I'm guessing they are noting...
