    DIY 230 has been going from good picture to 771. There may be others but only have noticed it on DIY. Just a few minuets ago I watched it changing, I found that its on Tsp 9 of 103cb. I sat in the SS menu there and watched the SS go from 89-90 steady to 0 a few times. I also checked a few other...

    Recently returned DVR charged sales tax for shipping

    I canceled Dish and had to return the DVR, they sent the box with label. I sent it back UPS. Now I get a bill for the return $15.00 and $0.90 sales tax. Is it legal to charge sales tax on return shipping? Bad enough I had to pay to return their equipment but sales tax or just another Dish scam?

    Lost absolute now I have to pay to send their equipment back.

    I supposed you like the changes the lawyers are doing to consumers, all the right go to the people you buy from and we basically have none? If nobody complains it gets worse. When the lease on your car runs out do you have to pay to send it back? When the tell you they only offer the highest...

    Getting or moving movies

    I'm sure its been asked before but I cant find it. I decided to leave Dish when they canceled my HD only package. My only regret is I have a lot of movies archived to an external Hard drive. Is there anyway I can transfer the movies to my computer or the Direct TV recorder or my HD Tivo?
