All worked out well for me..... On January 31st I called the number and paraphrased the letter about HD absolute being cancelled. Bottom line is that I signed up for Dish America, an HD only pack, and they gave me the HD platinum free for a year and they gave me Stars HD free for a year...

I wonder about this on a few levels. 1. Individual people will go back to account stacking, like OJ Simpson 2. Some shady retailers might be inclined to do account stacking - I'm not sure how but I am sure they will figure it out. 3. Dish makes money when your receiver is connected. They...

I have a dish pointed at 148, that I would like to realign to point at 129. is there any issues with that?

It would be nice if this would work with that upcoming TR-50 OTA DVR that dish is coming out with. I don't want to have multiple receivers on my account because of the extra charges...

Called a 3rd time to technical support, got someone from Colorado. He was sort of helpful. Looks like when I signed up for the HD Only package, they decided I needed a dish 1000 on my roof and wouldn't turn on my new channels until they did it. I called and asked why the new channels weren't...

This is comical. I switched to the HD Only pack on 2/1/08. After viewing the new package for one month, my bill is -$51.81! Don't know why. I think I should have to pay them $40.97, that should be my charge. The first month will be prorated between the old package and the new package, so...

Yes, before this, I was only subscribing to the old $9.99 HD Pack + locals. I am curious about that one too, I will probably call them on Monday to find out what the deal is.

Here is what my account shows when I login. Notice that it has the DVR Service fee, but it does not show an HD Enabling fee. I'm not a new customer, and I own my VIP622.

Dishbuilder asks for your zipcode, and based on that, I get SF locals. I captured the dishBuilder image using a program called grabber, it comes with Mac OS X. I don't know how you got dishBuilder to show you an HD Enabling fee. The CSRs didn't charge me one on my bill. They know I am...

I noticed that Battlestar Galatica is broadcast on UniversalHD. Are these just re-runs, or do they show new episodes too?

This should settle things. Here is a picture from dishbuilder showing the costs of the stand alone HD pack. There is no HD Enabling Fee.

That is my point exactly! Get rid of the fashion channel among others, and replace them with something that has at least some compelling content. I would enjoy watching stargate in HD! The viewership of SciFi HD will be a whole lot higher than Voom Ultra!

There's no $7/mo HD enabling fee with this package.

They don't need more satellites to add new HD, there is no excuse here. A good portion of that Voom stuff hasn't changed in years. Get rid of the fashion channel, and add SciFi. A lot of their channels are lame, and can be replaced with what Charlie used to call "Compelling Content"...

I found out why I don't see my channels, the CSR scheduled an appointment without telling me to install a dish on my roof for the 129 orbital slot. Funny thing is I don't need this, I told them I have 61.5 which mirrors 129. The CSR knew this, and still scheduled an appointment, but didn't...

I called to sign up for it today. First I got the standard Indian CSR. He didn't know what he was talking about. He tried to sign me up for the ultimate HD add-on. Then, I told him I couldn't do that without an ATxx package. I told him I wanted the HD Only Package for $29.99. Asked him...

I'm happy to hear that 61.5 mirrors 129 for the time being. I won't do anything then, and hopefully when it comes time to switch, dish will repoint the dish for free!

I want to subscribe to the new stand alone HD pack on 2/1/08, and I want to be prepared for when it is available. I live in the San Francisco DMA, and I have three dishes on my roof, and an OTA setup. I have dishes pointed at 61.5, 110, 119, and 148. Is that still good enough to receive...

Can't wait for that thing to come out!

Breakdown of fees.... I don't subscribe to an SD package, only the legacy HD pack - I was upset when they took Voom away from me last summer. So, as you can imagine, I am elated to see this stand alone HD pack is available again! They did something similar a couple of years back, but it was...

I was only subscribing to the HDPack + Voom, no SD channels. When they took away the voom, they said I could subscribe to it again if I ordered Dish HD. That meant I had to order AT100 + the $20 HD Pack. Doing that would very nearly double my monthly bill.

Yes they do. Do you see the Voom channels on that bill I uploaded? Dish told me that while I had an MPEG4 receiver, since they were switching VOOM to MPEG4, it was convenient for Dish to cancel my subscription to VOOM. If I wanted to get VOOM back, my bill would have doubled. Dish gave me...

Hmmm. $6.72/mo sounds bad. I thought that the satellite TV tax legislation didn't pass. Can anyone explain what happened?? And what this tax is for exactly?

I have HDTV. I used to have the HDPack + Voom, but they took away my Voom channels a few months ago. Dish has given me the shaft at every opportunity they can. So, now I'm left with 4 channels and paying $34/mo for them now. Doesn't sound like a good deal. DirecTV is looking better (I'm...

This is weird. I just looked online at my DishNetwork bill, and I see a $1 local tax on it. I haven't heard of any satellite taxes in California. Has something changed? I called Dish Network, and the CSR first said the tax was for programming. Then she said it was for services, but...
