    DIRECTV 11 - Launch now reported as March 9th - Update: Delivered to SeaLaunch (1/26)

    I'm just sitting here reading through this thread and i ponder.... Why does anyone think any delay in D11 launch by Sea Launch would have ANY effect on AMC-14 Launch by International Launch Services launching from the freaking Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan. (Very Nice....) Its 2 companies if...

    Searching for Satellite on HD

    Discrepancy with LA - HD Locals

    I was wanting to "move" my Dish network to my LA Apartment because I just got D* in my Atlanta Apt. But in doing my research about the LA locals i found a discrepancy between "The List!" and Lyngsat. One says its MPEG-2 the other MPEG-4 and there is only 5 days difference between the updates...

    DVR Service Fee and Leased Receiver Fee

    First Things First. NO ONE at DISH mentioned to me that if I ever drop AEP I would have to pay extra fees, and to add to it I was explicitly told I would not be charged anything if I changed what service plan I had. Also I think should be the last posts on the matter as we are getting quite off...

I would rather cancel which i fully intend to do once they stop giving credits! I guess you have a problem...
