    When Will Pittsburgh Local Channels Be Available On Eastern ARC?

    There was a memo sent that did mention certain areas whose HD Locals would go active on June 30th and certain areas that already have them that would added to the EA. I can't say which areas. Oh, one other thing, we haven't heard another word on this matter and now we're only 3 days out. So...

    Installer coming on Saturday

    The instances when CS couldn't do it for me were new customers who didn't have line of sight to the Western Arc satellites. More than likely dish will say that you are getting your locals off the Eastern Arc and thus don't need the 110 sat at all. Maybe, no guarantee, they might set you up...

    Installer coming on Saturday

    And the ironic thing is a 1000.4 w/ a 110 wing dish will work. I've seen it work. But you know how it goes. It doesn't matter what we tell them (corporate/ engineers) is happening out in the field. They're gonna believe what they want to believe (see phone connectivity). And until they...

    Installer coming on Saturday

    The tech did it right. From what I've been told the engineers at Dish feel a 1000.4 with a 110 wing dish could cause a problem with the receivers reading the channels that are shared by both the EA satellites and the 110 Sat. I've also been told by different CSRs that they can't even.create this...

    New Pricing Chart

    mike123abc,, the tech mentioned that the 922 was already $10, and they were told the rest of the DVRs were increasing from $6 to $10.. Tech said hopefully this was incorrect information because as an employee he didn't see how it could help business and as a customer it would make him want to...

    Is Dish network is good place to work ???

    The silence is deafening, i.e., not a single tech has vouched for Dish yet.

    Dish you have a problem

    Hey fanboy, this is a common complaint for existing customers of BOTH Dish and Direct. Both companies give new customers enticing incentives to sign up, but once you're in as an existing customer, then you're no longer their "best buddy" and they Both expect you to pay full price for anything...

    Dish and 3D - missing in action?

    Long post are usually posted by arrogant jackasses who actually think they need to "educate the less intelligent".

    DIRECTV & DISH Network Launch ASAP

    OMG!! Is this the reason corporate @ Dish has been insane and unreasonable about techs hooking receivers up to the phone line or internet? ZanderKoad, I just saw your post. I completely agree with you.

    Well just got a look at my install

    Concerning the clips, I do remember reading in previous Dish Tech manuals NOT to space the clips EVENLY apart as this could cause a problem. However, in the most recent tech manual I can find no mention of this. It just says they should be spaced 18 - 24 inches apart.

    DISH Buying TIVO?

    thomas22, please don't start repeating all your redundant s**t again.

    Dish's LNB is defective and I have to pay?

    As a tech, welcome to our world, at least in a sense. If a piece of equipment fails within 12 days of being installed, Dish holds the installing tech accountable. And this can effect the tech's pay when it comes to performance bonuses and performance evaluations, regardless if it isn't the...

    $5 dollar non-phone line charge?

    The reason the tech said it had to be hooked up is because corporate is DEMANDING that techs connect ALL receivers to either a phone line or internet if available. Techs are being written up and threatened with termination over this issue.

    Dish Network gives a nice surprise for the Holidays

    I thought they weren't cutting the checks until today.

    More Dish Network Fees

    They're nothing wrong with your signal strengths. Not all transponders will have a good signal on them for your particular area or any other particular area. If someone else wants to go into detail why that is, feel free. I'm too tired to do it. They likely wanted to charge you because...
