    Pricing Update from Dish Network

    I've been a loyal dish customer for longer than I can remember. However this latest price change is driving me to leave. I've been an absolute HD customer for quite a while, I'm no longer happy with the channel package. I've got four recievers, 722, 622, 510 and 508. I pay for the hardware...

    Dish Programming Changes (Effective August 1st)

    I'm a bit confused by the classic metal package vs the turbohd metal package syndrome here. What's the difference say between: Classic Gold 250 with DVR $67.99 and TurboHD Gold 250 with DVR $59.99? What will the actual channel diferences be? TurboHD Gold is currently listed at $49.99 a...

    SatelliteGuys / Dish Network Meet And Greet Report

    So I think there is still a great interest by us the general public IE the customer/consumer for an "HD Absolute" type of package. The price of the package isn't the issue, we'd like a clear path to a package that is all the HD available. Why does dish not simply add a similar HD only package at...

    3 Free Months HBO/ Starz

    I tried playing CSR roulette on this offer twice, the first time I was told I simply did not qualify. The second time I was told I did not qualify because I'm an HD Absolute customer.

    The HD Absolute "Missing" SD Channels - anyone know why?

    I see the Hd only package as a just another bundle, I think that bundle should include the SD and HD versions of each channel. I have a lot of tv's and therefore a lot of tuners, several of my tuners are old DVR's that I purchased and do not lease I have one 501 and one 508, these are great for...

    Dish network® meets 100 hd channel mark ahead of schedule

    Is it really more expensive to license and Brodcast an HD only channel rather than a channel broadcast in both HD/SD? Why separate those few channels only broadcast in HD into their own package and charge more for them? I realize that I'm getting a good deal with the HD only pack up to this...

    New DishHD $29.99 HD Only Package Details

    Talon or anyonce can you expand on the post about SD channels also included or link to what is in the HD only package besides HD? I know locals in SD/HD and I know the HD lineup but what other SD content from the AT packs is there with it? I've hesiated to switch to the all HD pack for three...

    SatelliteGuys.US DishNetwork Uplink Activity Discussion - Week Ending 02/09/2008

    Hey digiblur are the Sci-fi and USA channels still flat-lines like slates or are they more exciting now like the other channels charts?

    Any news on the rumored $10 HD Premiums

    I'm pretty sure the $29.99 HD package will come with those wonderful "free" shopping channels in SD that we all love so much. Along with anything else being broadcast in the free and clear things like channel 101 dish fyi or 103 ppv guide.

    Where are the "Where is the uplink thread?" threads?

    I agree I'd bet there is some contract issue like Directv negotiated exclusive carriage for some period, somewhat like NFL Sunday ticket. Does anyone else that carry USA/Speed have the HD versions broadcast at this time such as Cable or the Canadian TV providers? Whether it's a business or a...

    SatelliteAV Motorized System Giveaway, We Have a Winner!

    I would choose the Visionsat IV-200, This would be my first "reciever" since I have only done FTA with a pc tuner card. It is hard to pick just one feature that would make me select one reciever over the other, It really comes down to a combination of features that drive my selection. I am...

    I'm back, and ready to... shop!

    I have also gotten my parts/supplies in and I am trying to get it all set up through this weekend, I'm not currently having a lot of success finding a signal. I'm sure it will all click eventually. It's almost certainly an issue of not having my motor turned to point the right direction around...
