    Dish Network Corp. (DISH) founder Charlie Ergen said he may permanently drop Time Warner Inc.

    I am definitely going to switch to Directv, I watch CNN as well. I think Charlie is an idiot for doing this. I will give it another month or 2, if nothing happens then I am dumping Dish. They are always in court fighting lawsuit after lawsuit, and thats why our bills are always increasing. Dish...

    Dish Files FCC Appication to Launch Echostar 18

    Yup we dont get the pentagon channel, none of the fox sports channel come in HD and their SD quality is absolutely poor, and only some movie package channels are in HD and the rest are SD. I am hoping this satellite will help with some of the issues for Hawaii.

    No HD Nationals with Welcome Pack?

    The SD channels are horrible, especially on fox sports regional channels. Cant even make out the text when I was watching the football, they are too pixelated.

    No HD Nationals with Welcome Pack?

    I think dish needs to upgrade everyone who is currently on SD, to 20" hdtv, get some promotion thing going.

    No HD Nationals with Welcome Pack?

    Dish should remove all sd stations, its 2014. Just offer HD standard, nothing special about HD anymore. It been around for 15 years, noone wants SD anymore. SD channels are horrible quality on dish, especially the fox sports network stations, I cant even get in HD in Hawaii.

    Western Arc Signal Strengths?

    Just curious why are your signal strength so high but loose reception easily on the mainland. I live in hawaii and we have tons of rain where I live at, my signal strength are between 14-40 for all 3 sats. We have no signal loss issue, at least there is thunder and lightening.

    too much money for all american

    Directv is a rip off, I was looking at switching over to dtv. I been with dish for 15 years as well, and I agree we should get some loyalty rewards once in awhile, back to directv their dvr fee $25 dollars. There packages are cheaper than dish, their multisports channel is included in the...

    Dish wanting to give me a hopper, but not without installing it.

    I actually installed my hopper on my owe, I bought mines brand new from ebay for 150, and got dish 1000.2 as well from ebay. So I dont know what the tech support is talking about, the only thing I had the technician do was ground the satellite dish properly.

    Losing signal during dark cloudy skies, no rain

    We have a lot of rain where we live in Hilo, Hawaii. Normally rain is not problem at all, my signal strength is between 20-50 on most channels since I am using the dish 1000.2. We don't get any signal loss issue, unless its a big black clouds and thunder like you describe or raining very heavily...

    Dish Network's Ace in the Hole Mobile video could shake up the media industry.

    I think mobile video is cool, but for me when watching a video on my cellphone. It is not really great as my eyes gets tired, I find myself getting a headache after 15 minutes of watching a mobile video using the dish anywhere app.

    Removing Virtual Joey?

    Thats whats what I said in another thread, but people said I was wrong. Thats why I never installed or attempted to active this virtual joey app. I find it a scam for dish to steal extra $7 from peoples pocket and just like double dipping people who subscribe to AEP and the multisport package. I...
