    HD cost

    Been on with dish online chat. Talking with Daniel (ID U1L). He is helping me out and has made me very pleased. Looks like he is hooking me up with a new hopper install, sling adapter, and took care of my HD programming without autopay...........Thanks Daniel!!

    HD cost

    My father somehow bargained it with them about a year ago, he does not have auto pay and got it free! Im thinking of switching over to ATT uverse and this is one last ditch effort to see if there are any other options, but I guess it sounds like I will have no luck!

    Upgrading from a 722 to a hopper

    My 722 has started to act up, so I figured I would call and see about upgrading to the hopper. Maybe a DIRT member can get me correct pricing, as I talked with 2 different reps at dish and got 2 different answers. I was told it would cost me $50 one time fee to upgrade, I was ok with that...

    Would like to have dish at my seasonal campsite

    Well thats a bummer. We are at our campground for just 2 nights a week, then home for 5 nights. The campground is only 10 miles from home too. Defiantly cant afford a second account! We tried to use our over the air antenna to get our locals, and on a good day we can get 1 channel
