I'm a 2 TV home, so 2 Hoppers would be perfect. I just laid it out for the nice woman on the phone, explained why I was looking at Direct, that I've always been happy with Dish hardware and customer service (sub for 5+ years), and was exploring my options. I've found that being honest, laying...

I am in the same boat in Indy...was offered 2 Hopper/0 Joey install with multisport for free (for NFL redzone) and 10 dollar credit for a year if I didn't leave for Direct. I'm debating taking them up on it....I'm going to wait a bit and see if OTA is added to Hopper. I recently went to Best...

Sigh..... I've dealt with enough Dish disputes over the years and kept an eye on the Direct disputes also...based on my current situation, what Dish offers, what Direct offers, history, pricing, etc, etc....I'm about ready to pull the trigger. Obviously, we, the consumer, have 0 control...

Yeah this will be the last straw for me...when Big 10 network and WTHR are both gone, I'll be switching to Direct. Have an install scheduled for next Friday, if Dish gets their act together, I'll consider cancelling the install

DIRT member please PM me regarding an upgrade from 722 and 622 to 1 hopper/1 joey. Might be interested based on cost

Also, when I look at the guide on dishonline.com, it shows locals that are not mine, it shows only a few of my locals, none in HD. What a mess

I have a 722 connected via ethernet. No sling. Don't want to watch TV, just want to manage my DVR from dishonline.com like it should work. When I go to dishnetwork.com and look at my account, i see the 722 is "Broadband connected" but when go to dishonline.com, it says "cannot connect to receiver"

I'm having some issues with connecting to my receiver on Dishonline. Really hoping to get something set to record later today, but it says my receiver is not connected, I know it is though! John

OTA will not be a dealbreaker for me. I rarely use it now as is with a 722 and 622. I have an OTA antenna run directly to the individual sets for the rare times I need a subchannel or rain is blocking signal. PTAT more than makes up for lack of OTA. The majority of our recordings are network...

WISH in Indianapolis is still on as of now. Go figure

Well one last time, its officially over. RIP. A moment of silence for DishHD Absolute..... Ok, now that thats over. Just got off chat and got basically what everyone else has been getting. $10 credit, plus an additional $5 credit for 12 months. Free Platinum for 12 months. Free HD for life...

DISHHD ABSOLUTE$29.99 HD Duo (2TV) DVR Receiver $17.00 DVR Service $6.00 Locals $6.00 Monthly Charges$58.99 I see FX on my guide, I also see NFL redzone. Still have EPIX2, CBS college sports, etc. However, I still cannot add the multisports package online. This is interesting...I still have a...

Cannot add multisport pack with Absolute package. It is a not a "qualifying package" whatever that means. Why they would not want my 7 bucks a month is beyond me :confused:

Not sure if you're being sarcastic or serious. I'll assume you're just poking fun at the way some people are reacting the the possible death of Absolute. Yeah, everyone else can complain all they want. Ive been happy to be on the gravy train with Absolute for as long as I have. If it has...

Could not have multi sport. Tried it many a time during my tenure with Absolute.
