    Goodbye Charlie... (OFFICIAL I am Leaving DISH Thread)

    I also have decided to leave Dish. It was a hard decision, but I couldn't turn down U-Verse. They are giving me their top tv package (u-450) home phone, internet (12mb) & 3 receivers for 150.00 for a year. Also they threw in a 100.00 Visa Card. In a year I may come back, but I couldn't turn down...

    Dish Programming Changes (Effective August 1st)

    I got it tonight through chat. I just asked what was the price of hd platinum and he told me it was free now and he would add that to my package. It was on in about 10 mins. I had hd gold already. Simple as could be. :)

    Did Max HD West dropped the signal?

    :confused:No, I said exactly the correct thing. If you go to Cinemax's Site and check the schedule, HD channel # 311 is showing what they call their channel WMAX. Notice the difference between Max-W and WMAX.

    Did Max HD West dropped the signal?

    Actually, they are showing their channel WMax schedule on the maxw hd channel. maxw sd is showing what it suppose to be showing. Go to the website and you'll see the movie playing will be WMAX on MaxW hd. What is really funny they don't show WMAX as an hd channel. Who knows what they are doing.

    Dish messed up my bill in my favor, can't get Indian CSRs to figure it out.

    +1 :) I have spent 4 calls getting my billing and channels straight since I upgraded to a 722 a month ago (which included install of the 1000). I went with the essentilas hd. I refuse to take another hour of my time to get it straightened out. Btw, the upgrade was given to me so that I...

    Question on 18 month expiring contract

    I was thinking about going to Comcast and I called and asked for a customer retentions specialist. They offered me $10 off for 10 months, 3 months free HBO & Cinemax, and upgrade my 811 rcvr to a 622 DVR with free install of new Dish 1000 that I needed for the new HD channels I would get. When...

    622 HDMI and DD5.1

    Most likely it is the tv. I have a new Samsung tv and it will not pass 5.1 to a reciever other than for the tv sound (like if you use an antenna). Anything hooked up to the tv (dvd, dish) will not get 5.1 through the tv. It is not the hdmi cable. I have to hook up the dvd, dish, etc through...

    Logo

    Having just read the 5 pages of the recently closed thread, let me say I was amused. Did it get off topic? ABSOLUTELY! Should it have been closed. NO. I found it amusing that one of the post(ers) that wanted it closed was one of the first to take it off topic. Not trying to start another...

    Hbo Preview Weekend A Bust?

    Hbo Hd I do not have HBO and I had no problems with getting the free preview including HBOHD. They located it on I believe channel 293 for the free preview. Yes it was irrating not to have the movie details listed on those channels. I just went to the location of where HBO, etc is located...

    811 and dvd recorder hook up ?

    Try This Try running the DVD/VCR into the tv using component cables since they will give you the best picture and a set of cables for the sound. Then attach composite cables to the monitor out on the back of your tv to the input on the back of the DVD/VCR combo. I have 811 and a dvd/vcr...
