    Best Buy free TV

    There partnership must be sucking cause all the employee's had no idea how to order Dish, and the Manager had to look it up on the Employee toolkit.

    Best Buy free TV

    I knew something was fishy when the Best Buy employee said he could not find a $65 plan. He showed me his screen and it was $60/$75/$85 for the thee price lock plans. We ended up signing up by calling dish. We got a $200 visa gift card, a $25 gift card and was able to keep the price lock that...

    Moving and downgrading

    Just clicked your link and it said "Free DVR Upgrade"* *service agreement requred. It was only if you accepted the new DVR back in 2010 was you locked in a new agreement as far as how that page reads.

    Moving and downgrading

    Well. Never thought of that. If the move extends my contract, all is not. I was just going on the bases that it was free with no extension when I used it like 5 years ago.

    Skip ahead

    Last week I had an hr24-500 replaced by an hr24-200 Humax and now Samsung. I believe. The Humax allowed me to skip ahead without showing me the video, the samsung's skip ahead shows the video identical to a fast forward. Is this a setting that can be changed or is it a result of the...

    Options (Moved)

    I think it depends on if it is a house or duplex that is being rented? We just moved from a house we rented, and they had no problem with the install (the reason we broke lease was worse) The house was more less comdemed. They refused to fix anything and when we started having a severe sewer...
