Steelersrule paid how much???... Been on this thread for close to 2 years (Pre-paid then Flex for our second place) and I believe Steelersrule's last email was he was making his receiver a door stop or something like that. Well he's back and with an Everything Pack at that. Just one question...

Screwed again by Dishnetwork... I am one of those disaffected Pre-pay customers that bought their own equipment last spring (2009) and was tickled with it until they cancelled it in September and made you go to "FlexTV", which is pay by the month (our setup was for a second place where we are...

This crap with pricing and channels and offerings seems to be happening about every 90 days with these bastards. I was a pre-paid, then a Flex now a locals only since last September. This is crap. All I want to know is what happened to DishHome? I have had Dish for over a decade, but my...

Screwed again by Dishnetwork... Okay, so I went to "pause" or "vacation hold" or whatever the hell they call it on Tuesday and I get "INDIA" (I can help you with that....), and find out "no sh*t" you can't turn it off ("it is not available on your plan, Sir...), but after a hiatus and he checks...

Re: The rebirth of FLEXTV... I think there is a way to actually use FLEXTV and not get screwed. I had mine off since January and told them to stuff it in March when I found out about the $20 reconnect. But my wife is back at our second place, so I had to turn in back on (Dish Family plus...

Death of FlexTV..bait and switch... I called to reactivate my receiver which I hadn't used in two months and was told it would be $20 plus programming to turn it back on. I said no, it's $5 and finally got a supervisor who stated that as of March 1 the fee was $20 and not $5 and that I had...

Multi Sports Package... Finally got hooked up with the programming I wanted. I was taking the DISH Family w/locals which was $26.49 w/tax. To get the Multi Sports Package I found out that you need to have the Dish Bronze 100 Plus (all these damn names are confusing as hell), which is exactly...

Restarting FLEX programming with program change... Could one of you who are more expert than I am (know the answer is on this blog, but didn't want to wade through 20 pages), get me an answer. My monthly FLEX programming just expired and I believe the $5.00 reconnect fee doesn't apply for...

Its been several months and I have forgotten, but I think it is $99 to get the receiver and dish and the install comes with it if you call dish. I have my own equipment and did my own install so didn't need that. And you can check with them about the available programming which should include...

Just paid for some more service last week so we could use the box at our place in Myrtle Beach over the weekend. Don't know why, but I apparently got two months of programming for my original payment. Everything worked like a charm, other than changing the zip code and doing a check on the...

activating programing I haven't used my 301 receiver on a flex account in overa month and checked the box this moring and I am still getting Fox News and some other channels. Intend to add programing today since we will be at our second place over the weekend.

Flex TV experience so far... Switched my prepaid over to FLEX at the end of last month and got Dish Family and locals for Myrtle Beach. We left there on 10/7 so I just brought the box with me to see what I could do in Maryland. It works fine up here (but no locals due to alignment change) and...

Screwed again by Dishnetwork... I decided to call and see if, in fact, I could actually turn off the service and put it in "PAUSE" mode, which is what you can do with a regular account. Well guess what. NO!!! You pay up front for a month and if you don't use it you EAT IT!!! What I finally...

Shut off and turn on with the Prepaid accounts I think the real question for many of you is what is the shut off and turn on cost with the new Prepaid situation. I think I am going to be the guinea pig since I am going to our second place in Myrtle Beach and will be picking up my wife and we...

Did the switchover to FLEX... After finding out about the demise of DishNow last week, I called Dish (regular number) on Saturday to discuss my options. Since I already had a 301 with the G3 (purple) card and it had been activated all I had to do (after they switched me to the FLEX area) was...
