    MSNBC and Cooking in Dish America Gold?

    Good grief is right "Charlie" Brown! You see, it was their plan all along, if you want those stations, you are gonna pay more! I was just the first one to realize that, I made the change and enjoyed the screwing. This is why unions, civil liberty agencies and consumer protection laws are...

    MSNBC and Cooking in Dish America Gold?

    I posted the channels so Tony could see my problem, here is the post (below)! When my wife calls me at work and says she can't get DN to work as ordered, she expects me to fix the problem. So I'm running a meeting and am using my iPhone to access this forum, I state my problem and give DN, and...

    MSNBC and Cooking in Dish America Gold?

    Just to be clear, I was directed by DN to get both receivers - never by my request, and this was before I ever contacted anyone at DN through this forum. I actually was directed to this forum by a technician because we were having so many problems over the phone. it sounds like your defending...

    MSNBC and Cooking in Dish America Gold?

    Okay, technically you are right. I started another thread only to find out others were having the same issue, so I jumped on to this thread to help the technicians stay focused on one issue. Which they still haven't resolved - my point! I was not the one who suggested I ever get another...

    MSNBC and Cooking in Dish America Gold?

    I started this thread over a month ago and DishNetwork hasn't got it right yet after lying to me, sending me two receivers, one home technician and after I've made dozens of phone calls. I would be ashamed if I worked for a company that took so long to resolve ONE issue. I think DN should...

    MSNBC and Cooking in Dish America Gold?

    Just to be fair, and to help out those who are still bothered by this problem, and maybe help the IRT's, I provide the following information: Initially, I did not get the channels listed below. After seven phone calls I did get someone who appeared to be more interested in resolving my problem...

    MSNBC and Cooking in Dish America Gold?

    Given up!!! Well after twenty different stories, TWO new receivers and three hardware swaps over two weeks and four hours with a technician at my house, I've given up on a resolution to this problem and just threw money at DN for a fix. I just paid $20 more and got the 250 package with HD...

    MSNBC and Cooking in Dish America Gold?

    And the receiver that I'm getting in the mail tomorrow??? Send it back, refuse shipment?? Resend it using the return label/ Since this problem has started I've been rethinking my programming package - for the better - and would like to receive Versus and the Speed HD channel, for the upcoming...

    MSNBC and Cooking in Dish America Gold?

    Another solution? This is very interesting. I called DN and was given a very nice person named Nick and told him about my on-going problem with not getting MSNBC and the Cooking Channel. This was after I received another receiver in the mail, which was sent to replace my old receiver. The new...

    MSNBC and Cooking in Dish America Gold?

    Follow up I have Dish America Gold and did not get 11 stations that are listed on their website. They sent me a new receiver to fix the problem, it was trash, not only did it not get the stations I wanted, it was a bad replacement receiver, pixelated picture with over/underscan issues. The tech...

    MSNBC and Cooking in Dish America Gold?

    The FIX I also do not get MSNBS with the American Gold HD package, so I called DN and they said I have a defective box, which is where they think the problem is located. They tried to send a new signal, but that did not work. The new receiver is due on Monday, I will let you know how it works...
