    Ensuring the "HD for life" thing?

    There's nothing at all that says "Free HD", not even anything greyed out. Under the HD heading, it just says "HD Add-On" for $10 and Epix for $7. With my current selection of Dish America, the HD Add-On is greyed out. If I tick the AT120 box instead, the HD Add-On box becomes clickable (while...

    Ensuring the "HD for life" thing?

    That's what I'm saying; I currently have Dish America and I HAD autopay off and paper billing on. But yesterday, I turned autopay on and paper billing off. I haven't changed my package to AT120 yet, though. So, I'm wondering if I'll automatically get HD for free when I switch my package, or if...

    Ensuring the "HD for life" thing?

    Okay, here's my situation. I've had Dish for 10+ years. Last year, I decided I wanted to finally upgrade my equipment and get HD programming, so I got that taken care of; I didn't opt to do autopay/ paperless billing at the time, because I was taking the Dish America package, which included HD...

    DISH Drops AMC Networks (AMC Back on DISH channel 131)

    D'oh. I hate calling places. I wish things could be as simple as just clicking a button. v_v It's worth noting that I've been a Dish customer for roughly 10+ years, and last year, I signed up for a new agreement to get HD receivers and I took the Dish America package. I *thought* my deal was a...

    DISH Drops AMC Networks (AMC Back on DISH channel 131)

    So, if I log into my account, go to billing, turn autopay on and paper billing off, does that count, then? Or is there something else I would have to do? If/ when I actually switch my package to AT120 via changing it on "My programming" through site, will that "HD for life" automatically take...

    DISH Drops AMC Networks (AMC Back on DISH channel 131)

    Hm. I'm on Dish America now, and I've been considering bumping up to AT120, since it's only $10 more. But do I have to pay an extra $10 to get AT120 in HD? I notice when I log in to my account on the site and go to my programming, if I tick the AT120 box, an additional "HD Add On" box becomes...

    DISH -VS- VOOM - A Settlement has been reached!

    When do you think we'll get information on how long this "free preview" period will last, and what packages AMC will be a part of going forward (I assume it'll probably just be in the packages it was in before, but I can't help but hold out hope it might get added to the one I have)?

    DISH Drops AMC Networks (AMC Back on DISH channel 131)

    I would be so, so happy if AMC became a permanent edition to the Dish America pack, but I'd guess the chances of that are slim to none, lol.

    DISH Drops AMC Networks (AMC Back on DISH channel 131)

    I'm very curious as to how long this "preview" period will last, and what packages AMC will be a part of. I assume probably just the ones it was before being dropped, eh? Probably no chance it'll get added to any of the lower packages, right?

    DISH -VS- VOOM - A Settlement has been reached!

    So, being that I didn't have the package AMC was in before, and now I have the channel, is it safe to assume after a certain period that I'll lose the channel once they readjust it and add it back to the higher packages? I'm happy I get to watch Walking Dead tonight (instead of having to catch...

    I take it there's no way I can fix this, huh?

    Ah, okay, the "Format"/ * button changes the picture for the HD channels so I can watch them letterboxed (so the sides aren't cut off), but it does nothing for the SD channel pictures. I guess that's good enough. On another note, is there a general way to get the fish remote to be able to...

    I take it there's no way I can fix this, huh?

    Last October, I finally upgraded my (then 10+ year old) equipment for HD programming. The main box is a VIP222K that is connected to the main HDTV in the living room and up until a day ago, the SD TV in my bedroom. Thing is, on the SD TV, even when I was watching the SD channels, it appeared...

    UHD?

    I'm just curious, what packages is UHD (channel 366) a part of?

    View mode?

    Well, on the SDTV, there are no black bars; it's just zoomed in automatically, which cuts off the edges of the picture.

    View mode?

    Oh, cool, thanks. I had tried pretty much every button but that one. @_@ Also, the same receiver is connected to an SD TV, and I noticed this problem occurs on the SD TV, too, even when watching SD channels. Is there any way to fix that on the SD TV? I'm pretty sure I tried pressing the *...
