They unfortunately do not provide streams for our locals which happen to be the ones that cut out the most.Not all of us have OTA signal- I put up a large Channel Master UHF antenna with a booster in a vain attempt . I shoulda listened when the antenna website said I needed a 135 foot high tower!

Soooo...what did the tech do to solve the problem?

Nuke the entire site from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.

The last time I had a Dish tech out was a couple of years ago to install a +. He was telling me his area was way understaffed at every position and he had just given his notice.Said he had booked a personal day off way in advance and had rented a garage so he could work on his car. At the last...

As I said it was a 2 week old episode.Way past a week.

Last week I had a 2 week old "Watson" not auto hop. Checked 3 days later and it was. Also has any one noted exactly how long it takes before the auto hop is available on next day shows? For example say a show played and was recorded on a Tuesday at 8pm and ended at 9pm. Would it be available...

But every other time I've got "satellelite signal lost go watch your dvr yada yada" plus the internet kicks in on the channels where it's applicable. And living in Vermont and having had Dish since before Hi Def I know about cleaning satellite dishes. Actually used to have a BUD on a 20 foot...

Not at all the same but I had nothing but a black screen around 5pm yesterday.Not even "you have lost signal". It was a local channel and it was wet out so I went to ESPN because it's a different satellite and has internet switchover.Still black.I was going to check out the satellite signal etc...

I happened to be on an Caribbean cruise while those finals were being played.Large crowds around the public tvs with the locals rooting for the Heat and the rest of us rooting for the underdog Mavericks. First and last time I rooted for a team from Dallas. Thank you Jerry Jones.

Thanks for that.Gives me a number to shoot for in a few months.Good to hear the Loyalty number works again.After the Great Hack it connected you to a frontline CSR and you had to jump through all the hoops to get to Loyalty.

First person?Wow.You hit the jackpot on CSR roulette. Mind breaking the bill down for us a bit?

I think I accidently did this once but I had no idea what I had done so couldn't replicate it.

I"ll keep that in mind when we sell the house this summer. It's only a 1 hr 46 minute drive one way to the closest Xfinity store. BTW have you ever wandered over to the Reddit/xfinity subreddit? Xfinity moderates it so most of it is "deleted". The complaints here are nothing in comparison.

Those stories are 2 years old and older.Perhaps Dish learned something.All I know is that it wasn't a big deal for me .I just checked the emails and i sent them a copy of the obituary and a proof of address (oil bill).Not sure why they wanted proof of address since it had never changed since...

As a co executor of my Mother's estate I can tell you it wasn't a big deal.I'm not even sure they asked for a certificate of death. Some companies do -some don't. She had an older receiver so there was no discussion of a $25 charge for a return box.
