    Goodbye Charlie... (OFFICIAL I am Leaving DISH Thread)

    That's actually kind of funny given how many people have said the same thing how many times about & to the same person about the same subject over and over and over and over and over? :D :eek:

    Goodbye Charlie... (OFFICIAL I am Leaving DISH Thread)

    Well, just got off of chat with the Th**** of the Loyalty department. We are cancelled as of 2/1/11. A number of factors, but ultimately it comes down to not enough value for what we get. I'm amazed at how people who have expressed dissatisfaction over the Disney/Dish quarrel have been...

    Grrr No More Sling Desktop Software...

    Personally, the last thing I need is more government action 'for my own good'. What we need is more people actually taking action against the companies that initiate policies they don't like, rather than simply posting blog style how terrible a company policy is, all the while continuing to...

    Grrr No More Sling Desktop Software...

    ???? Can you elaborate please? I mean I know that whole flash debacle...but could you explain the latter part of your statement?

    Ear relief - Yup, in about two years.

    I DVR most of the programming I watch as well. My biggest beef is with those who want Washington to solve every little problem that creeps up. :rolleyes:

    3D Comes To DISH Network

    So let me get this straight...you drop probably $2000+ on a 3D HDTV with very limited programming available currently, $200 or so for each pair of 3D glasses, but Dish is ridiculous for wanting people to upgrade to a 922? :confused:

    VIP 922 Sling same as what's on my TV

    I can't speak to the 922 as I don't have one, but I have used the slingbox Pro HD which ultimately serves the same purpose. The Sling doesn't act as a tuner itself, but basically as a video router that simply sends the programming displayed on tuner #1 through the network to be viewed either on...

    Ipad Dish App

    Sling promised a 'immediately forthcoming' app for iPad, too. Seems like maybe they've dropped the ball on both counts.

    Which transponder?

    So can anyone give me an idea if these numbers are reasonable? Ever since the last time we had a tech here to repoint our dish after a bad wind storm, it seems our signal drops very easily. I'm wondering if our dish needs to be realigned? 110-14: 45 110-15: 43 110-16: 48 110-21: 42...

    Thanks to both of you. :up

    Which transponder?

    Hey, Guys- I'm sure this is a novice question, but how do I know which transponders I am using? I know that I'm using satellites 110, 119 & 129, but not sure which transponders to check for signal. I am having reception issues even on clear days, often resulting in terrible pixilation. Not...

    DTV HDR Receivers vs. Dish

    Hey, Guys- We recently changed from cable to Dish and have been pleased with the picture, but not as much with the service. When we signed up we requested a HD package with locals; however, we weren't informed until AFTER the install that the locals would only be available in SD. I saw...

    Updated DirecTV HD Locals Launch Schedule: November->March (And PBS Launches)

    Doh! Just realized that it's only DirecTV that has uploaded them. Guess I'll keep waiting on Dish.

    Updated DirecTV HD Locals Launch Schedule: November->March (And PBS Launches)

    We live in Roanoke and have the Fort Wayne locals on Dish, but the HD channels don't appear to have shown up on my system yet. Any idea why they would not have propagated to us? Do I need to do something to get them to show up? Thanks! Chris
