I saved my chat transcripts (thankfully) and one thing that always irritates me about various companies where you have contract periods like cell phones, satellite providers, etc. is that they often don't give you a way of looking up your current contract status. Instead you must call in and...

Based on the channel lineup..I won't be switch out of Dish Family any time soon. I love the Boomerang channel, and the only other way to get it is with the Dish 250 plan...

That is very useful! I was trying to figure out what I would gain/lose if I switched to another package, and not having the Dish Family package listed on the website was making it difficult to do that! I have to say though, Dish's website comparing packages is much easier to navigate than...

I've had Dish Family for over 2 years now. I'm out of contract, and my 622 VIP still works but makes a lot of noise and doesn't seem very responsive. The reason I'm on the Dish Family plan is because at my old house, my satellite signal reception was pretty bad and I couldn't watch any HD...

I ended up getting TurboHD Silver with Locals. On the dish site you can see which channels come with each package. I didn't watch the ones that came with Gold but I did watch the ones that Silver had over Bronze. I think its so useless having 200 channels when you only watch 10 or 15 of...

wow, they responded less than an hour later and already switched me over!! Dish Rocks!!!

I just emailed that ceo address! Hopefully I get it. Thanks for the info. The only equipment I have is a Vip 622 and I only watch HD channels anyway so it makes sense for me.

Ok this is probably a really dumb question, but if I currently am out of contract (been more than 2 years since i signed up) and have Top 100 plus HD platinum/bronze, I can replace all that with one of the turboHD packages? Seems like a better deal if I only watch HD channels anyway

I have noticed a horizontal distortion line in the middle of the screen that shows up only on ABC HD and not on other channels. It only shows up when the scene has fast motion. I then saw the same channel on my friend's local digital cable service and his was much sharper and didn't have the...

Ok I don't think it matters if ch 73 is UHF or VHF or cable or chinese...in all cases, it goes through the UHF/VHF port on the dpd2. Since I'm only saying UHF because that's what the port is labeled, I think what I said is still accurate. Anyway, I figured out another way that was much...

I have a Vip622 and it was set up over 2 years ago. Basically it was a standard setup where one DPD2 was connected outside at the dish, where the SAT port was going to the dish, and the UHF port was going to a cable leading up to the upstairs bedroom where I only get SD on channel 73. The...

I wonder if anyone has given much thought to the fact that if you cancel Dish and you were on that advantage program where all the equipment is leased, then you have to send them back the LNBF as well as the receivers. The problem is, what if the LNBF is on the roof??? and, what if you're old...

Sometimes it seems like its hard to get decent service these days from just about anyone....

I dont know whats the big deal with 1080p anyway? Most of the LCD's sold in the past few years that supported 1080i only supported 768 resolution lines anyway. Only recently newer screens support 1080p and have higher resolutions and are the norm. But how many people are going to upgrade in...

I'm gonna just stick with Dish for now. Even though Cox has practically the same HD channels etc, their Motorola DVR's are pretty worthless. I do have that DHPP fee every month, so apparently I'll be ok if the thing dies on me. It sure is a far cry from the old Dishplayer....I remember all...
