read scott's review-- if PTAT is turned off, we will have 4 tuners just like my 2 dvr Cox setup I have now, correct?

has anyone tried to pay a bill with this software?? no longer available. dish make it go bye bye.

i dont know if anyone will remember this... I had Los Angeles and Chicago and wanted to switch Chicago to Denver(I think). The csr removed instead of switched and FOR TEN MINUTES I had no distants and when I called back they were gone kaput see ya later-- no power in the verse could get them...

Hello everyone. I havent posted in quite awhile, but I got a call today and here we go... . Courtney called me from Dish Network's "winback" group. During her effort to sign me up again she guaranteed me there was a "Dish500 plus" and a "Dish1000 plus" , both of which would grant me access to...

It is incredible that they are so willing to keep throwing techs(money,manpower,gas,time)at you but will only offer you that crappy deal to replace the receiver. I would have played harder ball but obviously you are with Dish and cant threaten to leave them-that's cool.

any chance of all this being available for dish500 folk?? i had voom and the 2nd antenna--then moved and couldnt put up the 2nd dish(not right away anyway!!)

I found the story very interesting. Dish did the same to me... "yes we want to keep you as a customer; no we wont offer you anything you actually want". IMHO if a company really wants to keep someone who has paid consistantly and well over the average for a long time, it is well worth it to lose...

true--the distants are only $5/mnth. They will however lose $110/mnth by losing me. basically they could recoup the cost of a 942 3 times over during a year's committment. They can get $5000 dollars from me over the next few years--they have chosen to lose that money over a piece of hardware...

If they gave me a 942 I would remain a loyal customer. Im not looking to gouge Dish. The simple fact is I have lost something that simply cannot be replaced (and yes I do get all 4 Chicago local) and I want something that is extremely valuable to compensate me for losing something I consider...

Comcast has given me a dual tuner HIDEF pvr, all 4 movie channels in hidef,5 networks in hi def(big 4+ WB) INHD1+2,tnt and pbs and espn. all that as well as every channel they offer for $125/mnth. I like satellite--a lot but now they just cant compete in the HD arena.-- I would go with cable...

a free month?? for channels Ive had for 5 years and will never, ever get again?? theyve already given me a free month, offered me a free 510 and are still negotiating with me. Why shouldnt i get what I can?? I feel this is very important. You dont. I dont care what you think. The only thing yhat...

slamminc11- I guess I should defer to your incredible 6 months of knowledge here on this forum. didnt you ever have a preference for anything? why do you even watch tv? all the shows are pretty much the same, if you had basic cable you will eventually see everything thats shown on all the other...

lets get something straight--I have no problem following the law or with Dish following the law. The person(cincyguy24k) who said "dish was right" obviously hasnt read the entire thread. A CSR TURNED MY LOCALS OFF IN ERROR OR BY ACCIDENT OR WHATEVER!! If I got a letter saying I am nolonger...

everyone makes good points. the real craw-sticker(that would be something that sticks in my craw,wherever a craw is) is the simple fact that a csr removed the locals by accident or stupidity or carelessness;my account would "have been looked at" if not for the unauthorized action of a Dish...

Indy- I had no idea we had psychics on this forum. I will say this once- I legitimatelly qualified for distant locals, havent changed my address, and now I am no longer eligible. The SHVIA (or whatever) has been updated. If the locals were never removed, I never would have had to "qualify"...
