    Dish non responsive to its customer wants

    What's LOGO? I can't believe the things people get all worked up about. If there's something better elsewhere, then get it there. I'd just as soon not have my bill go up because E* decides to add LOGO, whatever that is. I'm already paying for half a dozen or more Spanish language...

    DISH Rebates - Redemption Nightmare

    I've been with Dish 10 years or so. I've done my share of whining and complaining, and I absolutely despise rebates. However, the Dish rebate check for my 622 showed up within a month, and the monthly credit took about 3 months. ...best rebate experience I've ever had. Sorry to hear...

    Dish 721 reboots and reboots and reboots...

    ...and never starts. As long as it's not connected to the LNB (DishPro Twin on a Dish500), it seems to start okay (I can get to all the menus and such), but the second I hook up the satellite input(s), it reboots. When I start out with the satellite input(s) connected, it goes through all...

    Can E* previous customer EVER be a new customer again?

    Thank You!!! I've been trying for months to find this information. I never thought to just go look at the terms of eligibility for the Digital Home Advantage, especially after being told so many different things by E* customer service. I'm going to call Dad post haste! Doug One happy...

    Can E* previous customer EVER be a new customer again?

    How do I find out about this DHA-FORMERS? Is there a way to go through the local installer and get the equipment? I don't want them to install it, just provide the equipment.

    Can E* previous customer EVER be a new customer again?

    He left in good standing, not owing any money. There is an existing receiver, a 4000, which is so old and slow as to be unuseable. He disconnected voluntarily in about 1999 or 2000. The receiver was $300 with a $300 rebate for a 1-year commitment of top 40 and two premiums. We who got E*...

    Can E* previous customer EVER be a new customer again?

    My father had E* for about a year some 7-8 years ago. He wants to dump his cable and get Dish Network, but apparently he's still considered an existing customer. Dish Network customer service does nothing but lie when we call. We've called probably 8 times and gotten 8 different answers, from...

    old receiver (4000) was working, been out of stream, doesn't work

    Thanks for the replies, everyone. I called E* and they fixed it. If I'd waited, might've it come on by itself? I waited about 45 minutes or so before calling.

    old receiver (4000) was working, been out of stream, doesn't work

    I had two old receivers of the 4000 vintage. They both were working, got updated with new yellow smart cards, still worked. Several months ago, I got a new 522. I liked it so much I bought a 721. Since all 4 of my outputs on the Legacy Quad LNB, I took the two 4000's down. They've been out...
