Are you referring to my original post? If so I understand it is somewhat convoluted. I was upset after being given no less than 10 different price plans over the course of an hour and 30 minutes minimum. I have a note pad here with so many numbers its insane.

I have to disagree. There shouldnt be different numbers for different discounts. All CSRs should be familiar with offers. There are bigger problems here as the no one quoted me the same price and each person gave me multiple price plans.

Called up to sign up today. New to the Sat dish world, did my homework here and a few other sites. Called 1-888-777-2454. Stated I wanted 1 HD DVR, 1 HD and 2 SD and protection plan. Ran my credit and without prompt gave me a discount. Original 74.99/104.99 but would sign me up for 52.99/92.99...

I was reading this as being necessary for on demand. If I have a nearby Ethernet jack then I am all set and don't need this contraption?

Ok I have found the glossary not sure how I missed it before. Right now I am curious who has the best deal going. Opinions?

I would ask for the policy in writing and *if* they have one request which parts of it are law and which are their own self implemented policy. While the person you spoke with may believe it is in effect for cosmetic reasons, it may be for liability. I know here in Mass a lot of state assisted...

Looking to purchase a Sat system in the next week or so. While I used to sell Direct TV for Rat Shack a decade ago I am now overwhelmed with the options available. Are there any newbie FAQs here on the site? I am having trouble finding one. Im getting confused on most of these threads, I have...
