    Questions about Canceling

    Okay, just got off the phone with them. CSR (his name was Julio) officially put in the refund. He said I should get the money credited back to my credit card in 7 business days.

    Questions about Canceling

    Oh another question. I got the final bill today. It says -$15.55 So will DISH credit back that to me on my credit card or write me a check or do they keep that? If they usually keep that, it's fine. I'm not going to hassle them over $15 but I was just curious.

    Questions about Canceling

    Alright, I made the call to cancel today. The CSR was a nice guy. Samuel is his name I believe. He tried his best to keep me with DISH. Offered me just all premiums for free (I don't know for how long because I was only interested in cancelling out right and I didn't want to sound like I was...

    Thanks. I'm guessing when I call DISH this is exactly what I tell the CSR when he/she asks for it.

    Questions about Canceling

    I've been mulling it over the past few weeks. I'm leaning towards cord cutting and getting rid of DISH. I'm renting a 722K and am currently not on a contract. How much will it cost me to cancel? And what does DISH want back?

    Looking at my options to save money

    Can I play the recordings I already have on my DVR and External Hard Drive while it's on Dish Pause?

    Yeah I think you're confusing me with the other guy in the thread (Almighty1). Yeah I'm currently renting my 722K. Thanks for the tidbit though.

    Looking at my options to save money

    I have a feeling I know what the answer's going to be but I wanted to ask this question to make sure. I have like 500 movies on my 2 TB External Hard Drive. Let's say I cancelled DISH and got rid of it completely but didn't do anything with that external hard drive. Then for whatever reason...

    Or they could have it off all the time and the day before you're scheduled to go out there, the customer could plug it in and power it up so it updates the day before and you're not spending any time updating when you're actually there.

    Looking at my options to save money

    I thought the limit for Dish Pause was 8 months straight?

    Looking at my options to save money

    Thanks for that idea. I'll have to think that one over. So I have a lot of unwatched movies on my 722K and 2 TB External Hard Drive (I've watched a lot of them but still have a lot I haven't watched). If I didn't go on Pause, but switched from the Welcome Pack ($50.99) to International Basic...

    At this point, to honest, just the locals and TBS because I wanted to catch some of the Baseball playoffs that are coming up.

    Looking at my options to save money

    Hi. I'm looking to save money. Dish didn't do anything wrong. It's just my viewing habits have changed drastically since I first had Dish installed 17 years ago. (Forgot to add, I'm not on a contract currently.) I attached part of my monthly bill to this post. First let's start here: Dish...

    **DISH ViP 722 lock-up/freezing vide problems!!!**

    I agree with the last poster, could be overheating. I've had my 722K since 2011 and when I got it would always freeze until somebody here recommended a USB fan to pull air out of it and cool it (thanks to whoever recommended that). I just put it over the vent on the back left side. It worked...
