    Dish Pause for weekend home

    Thanks for the thoughts. I had not heard of the flex account, but it seems like I am still not getting what I hoped for with a kind of "turn on/turn off" type of service. I had thought about the moving of a receiver out there for a weekend, but I don't have the new dish (the new place has a...

    Dish Pause for weekend home

    I am confused. First, I have an existing account with Dish, and want Dish at a weekend home. So, I talked with a CSR who said I could have a new account for my new weekend place (ranch) and use Pause Account. In other words, I didn't want to pay for a full "load" if I wasn't there all the time...

    BabyFirst TV switch to BabyTV. Anyone know what happend?

    Sure seems odd to change a item people specifically sign up for without asking for input... (And now those same persons apparently choose to rapidly drop!) Weird, doesn't seem logical nor good business...

    PR: DISH Expands Movie Channel Lineup with MoviePlex

    377 and 388? Confusing. I am confused- admittedly nothing new for me. It seemed last night, at least, MoviePlex 377 was simply the Western channel in offerings an hour late. I admit I didn't actually tune to channel 377 (since I had just watched Gunsmoke on the Western channel), maybe this...

    Front Page : Santa Bringing New HD for DISH Network Customers? (Rumor) Discussion

    Scott: So, this is not the tested channel 377 noted as MPLEX (but unavailable) in the changes section? Scott you are right, never heard of Pixl HD. Do you know what channel slot it will occupy? Thanks!

    Where's the 3D Channels DISH!!???

    3D is interesting, kinda fun, but like others have said: it seems we need HD for all channels before 3D. That is the immediate future. And if you already have prescription glasses, talk about nerd look (yes I know you can get prescription 3D glasses, but again, why???) If you really want 3D, I...

    What to do?

    No, please take the time to reread his post, where he clearly stated that the equipment was not his. Call me old school, but I personally don't believe that an error on the part of Dish (or anyone, for that matter) in essence justifies an expectation that it is OK to rip off the company. Just...

    What to do?

    Its amazing to see how many people seem to have the attitude literally stealing from a company seems to be ok if they can rationalize it away. Recall Dish owns the equipment. By what right does anyone have to sell something that they don't own? What's the difference between that and someone...

    Recording channel while watching same channel

    As to Tv1 or TV2 and is she watching it on TV2--which means it would be in SD in any event--- Understood, but she is watching on the main tv which is set as tv1 (I assume!). I guess I could have screwed it up but I thought tv2 was only in other rooms. Thanks for helping!

    Well, it is Days of our Lives" on NBC - I just assumed it would be HD - I realize Soapnet is SD, but this is from the network.
