AMEN to that!

Well...that's not what the last 2 csr's have said to me on the phone. But then again...this dish we're talking about!LOL! As of the last time I spoke to a csr,my appointment for jan 24th,is everything will be free of charge with the exception of the 722-which will be a $49 fee.

Well the original retailer was Ultimate audio-now out of business in my area.This shouldn't be a problem for me now-I'll definately look into this, I don't mind paying for service-after all you truly do get what you pay for! I was told from another local retailer,not a snot nosed kid at sears...

Wickedude...You are a bastard genius! I was gonna unhook and redo everything this weekend, but after your post, I tried the cable unhook and check switch... VIOLA!!!!! Now why couldn't the "tech support" support me that well. I owe you one- what's your poison?

Sounds like good advise,but to clarify, When I purchased my first receiver(5000) I installed it all myself (and have never had issues with the install either). But after a few years had passed, I tried to get a additional receiver and my local dealer told me he wasn't allowed to sell me one,that...

Ok... I thought I was making sense in my post-sorry if it "wanders" a bit. I only want 2 receivers, a 722 and a 222. I specifically requested this and thught it was understood. The origional call was,so I thought, from dish network.

This has been going on for a while now. Back in early nov,like the first week, I got a call from dish trying to upgrade my equiptment sinse I was a preffered member and all. So I decided maybe it's time to give in to the Empress's constant badgering about not having a tivo and decided to get...

OK...here's the deal. I was having problems with my 811(imagine that) it was constantly freezingup and needing reset at the receiver. So after getting chewed out by the warden for the umpteenth time I call dish and explain the problem. They confirm that there's a problem and send me a "new"...

This is kinda what I was thinking, But I wanted a few other opipions before I started screamin' at someone.

Iowa ,des moines area 50211 zip. I just looked at my current signals-110 is about 79% and 119 is around 86% both are (i think) decent there,right?

Anyone?....Bueller......bueller.....

The installer came out and said that he can't get a signal where the dish is at now. This guy didn't seem real energetic so my question is, is this common? I'm getting good signal now but on occaision (severe weather) I can lose signal strength-but like I said it needs to be bad winds/rain...

Those stores closed here too. My first dish reciever(5000) was from ultimate. Then they discontinued selling Dish brand.Like stated above,then it was difficult to get service.

I guess I would'nt be real concerned with a minor price hike to help charlie and folks pay their bills, BUT could they maybe get rid of a few shopping channels- Do we really need that many?LOL As with anything, if they can charge a little more-they're gonna, wouldn't you?

Juan, are you sure about this? I'm not trying to start anything but what makes you sure that dish is producing better picture quality than Direct? I am real close to switching, that's why I ask. I've been with dish for 8 years now, maybe it's time for a change....
