    Official - I have a Hopper 3 Thread!

    Ordered through DIRT, was painless and done in only 2 private messages. Was the first Hopper 3 install for the installer, he arrived saying he'd been warned by coworkers that these take a long time to get fully installed and we'd be waiting around for the receivers for a few hours. (which...

    DISH 2016 CES Press Event

    I hope this turns out to be true. Watching the Live stream they said is it would be a zero cost upgrade for qualified new accounts. The word "new" which Scott didn't type makes me wonder if existing customers can upgrade for free. Past history would make me think that Dish will not let...

    Best deals on lightning cables?

    I have ordered 6 generic ones from DX.com. They have worked flawlessly for both charging and synching. I've used this site for years to get really inexpensive iPhone cases/cables/screen protectors. The shipping is painfully slow... it is free shipping from Hong Kong/China. But prices are...

    Post Your Bill

    My Bill went down by 2 cents, but only because of $11 in loyalty credits. Come August it will go up $10.98. It is tempting to be annoyed, but I still would not find a better deal anywhere for HD service and 2 great HD DVR's...

    Should I upgrade my Iphone 3g to 3GS?

    I thought about upgrading since I am still on the iPhone 2G. I could get the 32GB one for $299. But, the switch to the 3G data plan would raise my monthly bill by $15. So, the switch would cost me $299+$180+taxes for the first year. I was planning on upgrading, but for now I'll hold onto the...

    ANTI VIRUS SOFTWARE

    I used to be an AVG fan, but the newer versions are getting really bad. I also used to hate Norton Anti-virus, but the 2009 version is really good. I recently switched away from AVG to Norton Internet Security (Free after rebate from Fry's). I could not be happier with the Norton Product, it...

    HD Channel List: Dish Network vs DirectTV

    Hi, while you're updating it, the formula's and counts on the "Regular channels" are wrong. The formulas in cells B51,C51, F45 and G45 contain the wrong cell range and therefore the wrong counts are listed... When the Formulas are updated to ranges of B5:b50 and C5:C50 the correct Dish...
