    Thinking about switching to DIrectTv but not for the reason most people are....

    Well my plan fell through. I had talked to a CSR last week who said I was no longer under contract but when I chatted yesterday with a rep to tell them I wanted to cancel and see what the retention department would offer, the first lady said I wasn't under contract (2nd person to tell me this)...

    Thinking about switching to DIrectTv but not for the reason most people are....

    I had been thinking about getting another Hopper but that will make my bill go up more with the extra fee. The Hopper and Genie seem pretty comparable. I'm not looking for a reason to switch, Dish has given us plenty of reason in the past but I stuck around. I only went to the DirectTv...

    Mobile Sling Issue

    I've got the login and everything working but it still tells me there are no slings attached to my account. Dish is absolutely no help.

    Mobile Sling Issue

    I have contacted Dish and Sling about this, but no one has an answer. I had a sling account years ago that I no longer use. The email address for it is the same I use for Dish. When I went to the Dish remote site and clicked on Go Mobile to view from a phone it said it needed to create a...

    Multiple 1 minutes recordings

    I had this happen the other night, and i happened to be watching it when it happened. I was watching Man vs Wild on Discovery and the channel itself was going in and out, so every time it went out it would stop recording and then start again when the channel came back. I had something else...

    "Moving" - Ceil 2 question

    Im a little confused. I live in GA but according to the clickable link for the Atlanta spotbeam, I am no where near in range but I have not lost the locals. I am on 110, 119, 129. Any ideas? Just did a check and shows my signal on transponder 4 as 12.
