    Anybody ever ordered service through GWDish.com?

    I had this very question as I am ready to switch to Dish from DirecTV. I was thinking of giving them a shot but now have second thoughts. It sounds like a DIRT member can take my order? Can they do 2 HWS and 1 Joey (which DISH directly supposedly won't do)? Also, is the HIC the best setup in...

    The Dish April 1st New HD Saga (Merged Threads)

    Dear Charlie Dear Charlie, I am having a hard time understanding how someone of your obviously high business sense and intellect can act so foolishly. You repeatedly make promises about programming changes and then don't deliver or don't deliver on time. I am trying to figure this out from...

    Switches/LNBs/Birds/129...wth?

    I live in the Grand Rapids, MI area and it seems like whenever it is overcast I lose 129. Could I get another dish and point it at 61.5? If I kept 129 as well how would the receiver know which dish to use for the duplicated channels (like Voom HD)?
