    prospective dish customer needs answers

    Thanks, but some clarification please. I see Turbo HD bronze with DVR on some bills posted on another site for $39.99. Does this include the DVR fee of $5.99? Does it include anything else? I also see different charges for DVR such as $5 and $12. Is this some kind of grandfathering or a special...

    prospective dish customer needs answers

    I am having great difficulty finding consistent answers to my questions.:confused: I plan to go with flex tv so I won't be eligible for promotion prices (that I know of) and I don't plan on signing up for anything that I don't have to. I am interested only in HD. 1. What is the monthly charge...

    Center Ice

    I am trying to decide if Dish is what I want and NHL coverage is important to me. When I go to the online TV guide I find channels 626 to 639 say NHL but don't show any games for tonight. There is 1 game shown for NHLNET. This can't be the only game that they are showing.:confused: Also, I can't...

    Sundayticket in US on bell

    I see that some have read my post but no one has volunteered any advise. If anyone is interested, my ST came back, thank you. I read on another thread that one can ask for a hit via internet but that wasn't necessary this time. It is good to know however.

    91 That would be 91 that has those new transponders appearing in the deep south. TSN is on now. I would like to hear if any recent changes have occured on 82. I asked on another thread if it would be a waste of time to set up a dish to try to get it here in S. California but got no reply. Was...

    Sundayticket in US on bell

    I completed my annual migration to California yesterday and when I set up my dish I found that the only NFL channel that appeared in the guide was NFL1 on ch 451 and it was in red. (NFL-N comes in but is it part of Sunday T?) Can anyone suggest why this has happened and, more importantly, how I...

    Bigger Dish for Expressvu

    Thanks a bunch, Digiblur, for the link.:up I thought it was somewhere, but didn't know where. With regard to the info there, it shows some tps as non SE US which according to my records I was getting last year and others the other way around. Does this mean that the tps have moved or does my...

    Bigger Dish for Expressvu

    There was some suggestion on this thread that the signals from 82 are getting weaker. As I am about to make my annual migration, this caught my interest and I'm wondering if I need to take a 24" dish with me instead of the 18" I was using last year which was giving me signal strengths mostly in...

    Nhl Ci Hd

    An added complication is: if game is on PPV then CI subscribers in the region are blacked out and must see it on PPV. In addition, if SNET is carrying the game and it is being shown in HD on CI, the HD telecast is blacked out for those in the region.
