    Loyal Dish customer longevity

    1995 Here. Bought system at Circuit City and paid a contractor for install. (May have been Charlie for all I know) New home and totally irritated with Comcast at the time. Have not looked back. Two Hoppers and excellent customer service. Sometime need to push the issue with the CSR's. Just tell...

    DISH Debuts Hands-Free TV on Hopper DVR with Amazon Alexa

    Hi Scott and I agree. We love our Echo's. Also, want to add that I believe the Echo's are not available on Amazon is there is a newer version coming out. A little smaller but more powerful. Not sure of all the new features.

    Replacing 508 with a 211

    Well I am thinking ... Loyalty does come with some benefits. I have been a Dish customer since 1998. I also subscribe to the Everything pkg plus some others. Monthly bill runs around $175. to $200/month. I have never had a late payment in those 10 years. I e-mailed Dish concerning the 211 and...

    Replacing 508 with a 211

    Yes I am going to do it myself. I already have a 622 and a 722. Dish is going to send me a 211 free of charge, no strings attached and we have the Everything package so no DVR fees. I thought it was a duel tuner but Juan got me thinking that it is only a dvr. It is not the primary receiver...

    Replacing 508 with a 211

    I was wondering what problem(s) I may run into. I am replacing a duel tuner 508 Receiver with a single tuner 211 HD Receiver. Would I only need to hook one cable into the 211 to receive all the same channnels?

    Thank You Dish & (Charlie)

    In all fairness and so many of you have been beating up Dish and Charlie for the last couple of weeks that I feel I need to weigh in with a quick blurb. Dish has finally delivered on the HD most of you have been waiting for, USA, SCI-FI, and CNN. I have had Dish for probably the last 8 years...

    Dish One of my worst financial decisions ever

    Actually, most of these guy's are like the people at the bank. They keep changing lines because the other looks better and never get it right.
