    Switching to Fios

    I made the switch to FIOS Triple Play w/ HD Extreme from Dish on the April 4th. I must say I am pleased!. The first thing I noticed was that HD looked better on most channels and standard look better all around. Getting used to the new remote is probably the worst thing I have had to deal with...

    I noticed yesterday that DISH is running a new customer special of $9.99 a month for the first 6 months and a free DVR upgrade on local Metro Washington DC stations. Went by me pretty quickly but I think it was for what is regularly $39.99 a month and supposedly includes up to 50 HD channels...

    For those that have moved, would you take the risk

    OK the one way you can do this is if you sign up with a VOIP service that lets you pick a personalized number. With Vonage for example you can have two lines one with a "local" number and one with say a number from the metro area where you have "moved" Not that I am advocating this but it does...

    Selling a 508 what info should I give out?

    When I sold mine I just posted Model #, Age of Unit. And I guaranteed the unit was free and clear. I did not post any serial numbers or receiver IDs. YMMV as I have a very high sellers rating on eBay. Cheers!

    I'm livid! Service turned off...

    I had a very similar problem with Direct TV about oh it must be 10 years ago now. I had been a customer since 93 and had moved twice in the 5 years I was with them. After the last move I started getting my service turned off every month. I would call and they would see the error and fix the...

    can Dish DVR record signals from another source?

    I can't speak on all models but I know that the 508, 625 and VIP-622 cannot record from an external source.
