    Losing HD Absolute. Any suggestions?

    My programming online shows DISH Platinum - Free 12 Mo. Dish America (34.99) and DVR Service fee (6.00) for a total of 40.99. When I confirmed the switch, it showed that I was getting a credit of 10/Mo so I'll see if I get that when I receive my bill next month.

    Losing HD Absolute. Any suggestions?

    I got switched automatically yesterday too. I went online and switched to the Dish America package but I may just use OTA HD and Netflix. Has anyone heard of or tried Sezmi - Sezmi: All-In-One Personal TV Service $4.99/month for an OTA HD DVR service sounds pretty interesting. The DVR...

    Losing HD Absolute. Any suggestions?

    To me, he sounded like everyone that has it currently will still have it. If you make any account changes after Feb 1, then you will automatically get switched to the Top 200 package. Not what I was expecting at all after receiving the letter and reading posts here. I guess I'll just not do...

    Losing HD Absolute. Any suggestions?

    I asked him why I got the letter since that was how I read it too. His answer was that if I make any changes after Feb 1, then I would automatically get changed to the Top 200 package.

    Losing HD Absolute. Any suggestions?

    Ok. I'm really confused now. I also go the letter over the weekend. I even got a call from a CSR rep today that would not talk to my wife because she is not on the account. When I got home from work, I called the number in the letter. The CSR tried to say I would be upgraded to the AT 200...

    Dish network® meets 100 hd channel mark ahead of schedule

    I called and talked to a CSR this afternoon. He verified that indeed if I used DISH'N It Up to upgrade to the 722 that I would no longer have to pay the $7.00 lease fee. The price that he quoted me for the upgrade was $125.00. I was hoping for $75.00 so I told him I'd think about it.

    Dish network® meets 100 hd channel mark ahead of schedule

    I found it after signing on to my account on the Dishnetwork site - View My Equipment - Equipment Upgrades - DISH'n It Up. Although, the HD DVR - Enhanced High Definition DVR Receiver, which I assume is the 722, showed as $125 installed. No listing for no installation at $75.00. Guess I'll...

    Dish network® meets 100 hd channel mark ahead of schedule

    Did you have to call a CSR to do this, or did you do it online? I may have to do this as well. I looked online, and the Terms of the HD DVR still showed a monthly equipment rental fee of $7.00 for HD receivers.

    Letter From Charlie Ergen

    I just cut and pasted the court comment from an article I found after doing a google search on dishnetwork and voom.

    Letter From Charlie Ergen

    The court said Voom failed to show that it satisfied the spending requirement in the affiliation agreement. That opened the door to remove the VOOM channels, which they did shortly afterwards.

    HD Only Pack - Questions

    My wife says that we've always been paying this each month. I thought I remember paying $200 to upgrade from my 211 to the 622 with a 2 year commitment. Would that have been including a $7.00 lease fee? Doesn't seem right.

    HD Only Pack - Questions

    Just got my first bill after switching to the HD Only package. Should I be getting charged $7.00 for a Leased Receiver Fee?
