You should probably spoiler that. I got Dish HD Free for Life w/ no contract extension; better than a credit because I was currently paying $10/mo for the HD fee.

They're essentially giving everyone the Multi Sport package for free until the RSNs come back, but if you already have the Multi Sport package, you have to call up and ask them to waive the fee? If I never called up, I would still be paying $7/mo for half the channels.

I don't think people that never pirated the shows are suddenly going to start. I brought up to the Dish CSR the fact that I'm still paying $7/mo for the Multi Sport package even though they halved their channels. They're crediting me the $7/mo fee for Multi Sport; still on hold to see what...

Thanks for the help everyone, Dish is sending me a new receiver this week. I opted for the $6/mo protection plan, but it now carries a $25 cancellation fee unless you completely cancel the account. They said it would be $50 for a replacement receiver + $15 shipping if I didn't want the...

I can add DHPP, wait a day and then file a claim? That'd be really nice, considering the receiver is less than one year old and I paid $300+ for it. :rant:

I feel that my 722 receiver has been on the fritz for awhile, but today might have been it's last. We were watching programming and the box completely shut off (no lights). The fan is going 100% and I've tried resetting it by removing the power, holding the power button and doing a card reset...

They'll be blocked out, you have to watch them on the League Pass channels.

Why is Dish promoting a failed channel that lost their Premier League rights to ESPN?

I'm approximately 250 miles outside of SF and am able to get a high single digit signal off Satellite 119, Transponder 7. When I got a signal of 12, we were able to watch the channels, however we couldn't get a signal much higher than 15. I'm really just looking at trying to get a signal of 20+...

Would switching to a larger (from 18" to possibly 24") help the chance of getting better spot-beam reception?

Service technician came out and wasn't able to produce a better signal than I could get. From what he told me, I guess Dish narrowed their spotbeam coverage of Bay Area and LA (which I thought was supposed to be CONUS) HDTV locals when they introduced the Santa Barbara HDTV locals a couple...

Our neighbors are receiving the channels fine and when we adjusted the satellite where we received a poor, albeit usable signal for transponder 7 on satellite 119, we were too, able to receive them. $50 isn't half bad, but I was hoping on figuring this out for the Final Four on Saturday. No way...

All the HD televisions are on the first floor, all the SD televisions are on the second floor. Two of the SD televisions on the second floor literally share a wall between them, so I pipe the cable that connects the second SD receiver straight through the wall rather than having the cable...

None of the CSRs I've talked to at Dish have been able to answer my question and the Dish Builder on the site only allows a maximum of 4 televisions for the setup. I currently have the following set-up: 1 Dish VIP 222 (1 HDTV, 1 SDTV) 1 Dish 322 (2 SDTV) We recently added two more HDTVs to the...
