    December 18th Dish Retailer Chat Recap

    Where do you get $22.00 for these 2 premiums? As I read the slides on Page 1, they are $10 each.

    If the DBS providers (including DISH) are prohibited from providing distant network signals to their customers in order to protect the ad revenues of local stations, why are the local stations allowed to blackmail the DBS providers with excessive carriage fee demands? Since the local stations...

    Hide Progress Bar?

    Is there any way to hide the progress bar that appears at the bottom of the screen when the "Pause" button is pressed? Sometimes, there are things I want to see on the bottom portion of the screen when the program is paused, but the progress bar covers up this area. I have a ViP722.

    Birmingham, AL Locals

    I guess I just assumed that Dish would want to move the locals in order to free up space on the Western Arc birds. However, if they are not going to add new programming (costs them money), there is really no need for the extra space. Also, swapping out dishes to the 1000.4 would also cost Dish...

    Birmingham, AL Locals

    Since the Birmingham DMA has officially been switched over to Eastern Arc, how long will it be before the Birmingham locals (HD and SD) are removed from the Western Arc sats?

    Houston on the Move?

    Anyone want to venture a guess as to whether or not DISH cutomers in Houston will eventually be moved to the Eastern Arc? I would have thought that Houston is too far west, but with the move of Austin, TX to the Eastern Arc, I am not so certain any more.

    Uplink Activity

    Actually, it is the morning after the Tuesday after the first Monday. Election day is not always on the first Tuesday. It has to follow the first Monday (therefore, the Tuesday after the first Monday). Thus, election day can never be on November 1st (All Saints Day) and can be as late as...

    Another Fees Question

    I checked the connection at the back of the receiver and it was fine. I then checked the connection at the phone jack (actually the DSL filter), and the connection was fine. Luckily, I looked more closely, and to my surprise I realized that my DSL line, instead of the phone cord, was plugged...

    Another Fees Question

    I'm not going to complain too much. I went from two 510's and a 625 to two ViP722's. I still have four tuners and now get HD programming. It only costs me $1.02 a month more.

    Another Fees Question

    Thanks. That makes sense. It's the way I understood it was supposed to be. The way it is stated on the website is just VERY confusing! I'll check the phone connection on the 2nd receiver to make sure. It's plugged into a phone jack through a DSL filter (like the other receiver). I'll make...

    Another Fees Question

    I do not have any of the premium movie services (HBO, etc.). Under "Current Programming" it does say GoldHD.
