    OFFICIAL DISH / FOX ORDEAL DISCUSSION THREAD

    It doesn't bother me to lose FX and NEO either, BUT A LOT OF US DID LOSE OUR RSN's, so we won't be able so watch our local baseball teams this weekend. So I hope they settle this soon. The only way for us to watch the game now is actually be at the game which is three and a half hour drive away...

    Why does Dish Charge for locals?

    It seems that most people pay for locals, but I've had Dish Network for almost three years and I've never paid for locals. I get my service thru AT&T and get Americas Top 250 w/locals included at no cost.

    What Is The Difference Between Dish & Att Dish ?

    I have Dish through ATT and it's mostly the same except I don't pay the fee for local channels. The're free. And we are restricted to what receivers we can get.

    3 leased receivers?

    I thought Dish's policy was any combination not to exceed 6 tuners.

    Dish Audits

    Well I never got one on these calls yet, but If my caller ID says unknown or unavailable, I don't answer the phone period. I do have a phone line hooked up to my DVR receiver only. They need to have their name come up on the caller ID for me to answer the phone. I would be upset if they cut my...

    Afternoon signal loss

    I just had this same problem less than a month ago. I thought it was the dp 34 switch but it wasn't. It's the heat beating down on the lnb. Since my lnb was changed, I havn't had any more problems at all. Everything is working fine again.

    Dish Leasing Issues

    sbrinck, I'm with you on this. I know I don't hardly post, but I read alot here. A lot of 522's were sold on Ebay cuz they were being sold by dealers going out of business. Thats why your 522 was probably new and never used or leased when you got it. I think you should email the CEO again...

    Dish Network directly or from local retailer??

    I got my system installed thru SBC and had no problems at all. They hire local contractors and was out to install in a couple of days. Then a month after my dish was installed, we got local channels so I called the first day they were available and they were out the next day and installed...

    If you had a choice:Satellite or Cable

    Satellite is the best choice here. Last january, cable took NBC off and this winter CBS will go off cable. The only way to get them is OTA or locals on Dish. I'll stick with satellite.
