I didn't have any timers set other than regular recordings. After a week and a half of this happening, suddenly tonight it went to normal.

For the last week, on my CBS channel, it comes up with circle with red x on most shows on CBS. When I click on the show, it says Event Skipped, Incorrect Event. I didn't choose to record these in the first place. The one's I do want to record, I have to tell it to record anyway and when it...

I currently have an DVR without HD but am upgrading tomorrow. On my current DVR, I was hit by lightning twice last year in a two week period and they replaced my receivers with new ones free of charge both times and I wasn't a subscriber to the Home Protection Plan. Is the Home Protection plan...

I think what he meant was that you had 6 months left on your current contract when you reupped for another 24 months. Since you had a 6 month commitment left anyway, in essence, you were only signing for an additional 18 months.

Ok, thank you. I might have to do some trimming before next week.

I am in the process of upgrading from SD to HD. Right now I have a Dish 500 I believe. My question is, will the new HD dish require a bigger portion of unobstructed southern sky? I have a tree that might be a problem with my current dish in 5 years or so, and I didn't know if a HD dish would...

Nice going nothing0. I find that if you are pleasent and don't threaten, they are a lot more responsive than trying to be a butthead to them. Dish is a good company who I have been happy with for years. I'm glad to hear you received a good deal.

I weighed the higher cost to leave directv heavily in my decision. The cinemax deal supposedly wasn't available to me because I bundle my services with ATT. I will be paying less than I do now for SD for 1 year, so to me, it is a great deal. Plus I love Dish and am glad to be able to stay and...

It was $10/month for a year plus my $5 a month for my bundle discount.

Leave me along, you can never be too careful! Free upgrade to 722, free cinemax for a year even though I wouldn't normally qualify, free external storage activation, and a $15 discount for a year, plus my HBO and Showtime free for 3 months.

As far as the savings, with the $23/month for a year, 3 months free HBO and Showtime which I subscribe to with E* and $10/month discount with AAA, it would have averaged $24.38 less per month for the term of the 24 months. My math was a little sketchy last night! I called again this morning...

I am a current subscriber out of contract. I got a hold of the customer retention department about my quandry of switching to D*. I could save an average of $48/month for the same programming by switching to D* from E*. I told E* this and they were able to give me some fairly good deals...

I checked with Dish today and they said that nothing would change. It would still be bundled with AT&T and to make programming changes, all we have to do is call Dish.

Thank you for the responses. I can see their point of not wanting to have promo hoppers going back and forth. On the other hand, when you have been a customer that they have made money off of, I don't see why they cannot sweeten the deal a little bit. Will the 922 be the only box that will...

I have been a customer of dish for several years. I am currently getting service though AT&T though. I am wanting to upgrade to HD and am out of contract. Could I cancel through AT&T and take advantage of the new deals in February as a new customer? Could I simply upgrade in February and...
