If you need more than OTA, I still think Dish is the best option. I am settling with OTA and Netflix for the time being. I do have to say that I'm impressed with the quality of OTA HD, much better than dish and cable companies.

It's that inconsistency that makes me glad I canceled at this point. A lot of people weren't offered anything more than $10, including me...and it isn't a longevity thing, I was a VOOM customer that was sucked into Dish.

It should be $13/month..so if you run the numbers, 48 months on your current unit x $13/month = $576, a lifetime subscription is $299, so the ROI on a lifetime subscription is roughly 23 months (~2 years), after that you are saving money. However, they complicate things a bit more by...

Yep, I have an old SD Tivo that I was using before I switched to VOOM, the interface is definitely the best out there. I emailed Tivo and they said that you can still call in to talk to them about a lifetime subscription. I would probably want one of the premier units though.

Either $12/month or $19/month depending on what you pay upfront, which is why I would like to find a lifetime subscription Tivo. The lifetime subscription has no monthly charge.

It still only does old VCR type time based recording, Tivo is much more advanced than that.

Yep, I've seen that one, at that price I would rather wait for a Tivo, I had a tivo many years ago and it was actually very good. Someone on the forum mentioned this Sezmi: Smart, Affordable DVR which I haven't ever seen before...it looks interesting but it isn't in my area.

It was the same situation for me. I really liked natgeo. In the end, I ended up just canceling and going OTA (we already have netflix). Now that it's been canceled for a week+, I can say that I am happy I went that route, it's nice to save $50+/month. Dish really went about this thing...

...that they didn't really want to do much to keep my business when I was canceling but I have received several emails and phone calls since canceling where they want me to come back. No thank you, they had their chance to keep my business and failed. That being said, I would never ever go with D*

what's funny is I just canceled yesterday and they are already emailing me promos because they "want me back" (with a 2 year term of course) no thanks dish, you had your chance to keep me, offer me the same deal you were offering other people, instead you refused to work with me even though...

the inconsistency in the offer is lame, if they would have offered me $20 off for 6 months, then $10 off they may have kept my business why offer it only to certain customers? I've been a customer every since Dish took over Voom.

canceled, was great while it lasted, I don't think there is a better offering out there right now, I just can't justify the cost increase the loyalty department didn't offer me $20 off for the first 6 months, in fact, you need to be careful if you are holding out because you are paid up through...

I don't think it is "easily" resolved at all, I just had a 30m chat session to get them to remove the dvr-integration fee which was $4, no other changes, and they changed my locals from $6 to $10 after the chat session...makes no sense at all.

dish almost makes you want to cancel just because they are so clueless, however, nobody is going to be any different my bill now shows: DISHHD ABSOLUTE: $29.99 Locals: $10.00 DVR Service: $6.00 ................. Total: $45.99 (excludes taxes / credits) I haven't heard of anyone being charged...

there is definitely confusion at dish, I did a chat to get them to remove the $4 integration fee and the first person I talked to said the problem is I am on a package no longer available, they transferred me to the loyalty department who removed the $4 fee after looking into it, he did not tell...

nope, don't plan on it anytime soon either

My bill now shows the same as everyone else is reporting as far as the charge for locals being added. DISHHD ABSOLUTE: $29.99 DVR Service: $6.00 Auth - DVR Integration: $4.00 Locals: $6.00 Monthly Charges: $45.99 They did add this DVR Integration fee, I have no idea what the heck that is.

same here, no change yet, I did get an OTA antenna and I'm preparing to cancel if I have to...I will wait to see what happens though...

nat. geo was one of my fav. channels, losing it is one of the reason I decided to cancel, I would have to be on dish america gold to get it back

timeshifting or maybe they called it time warping, you can google it, dish had patented tivo features on their dvr and they were forced to remove them it's a pretty cool feature too, you can be watching a recorded show and then go to live tv and rewind or record anything that was "buffering"...

I ordered this today: Amazon.com: CLEARSTREAM5 HDtv Antenna: Electronics Savings of ~$40/month, so the ROI isn't bad. I was an original voom customer and I really hate to go but the good deal on hd absolute was really the only thing keeping me around. I looked around and as far as sat. goes I...

I think I've about hit that point, we have netflix already and use that for movies and streaming...I'm thinking if I rented the shows I watch off amazon or something it would still be cheaper than $40/month

I don't think that has anything at all to do with it, ppl in the forum are more concerned about quality than they are about delivery :) as far as awards go...that doesn't mean much...I will be curious to see what you think

Anyone know if you can continue to access data on EHD and DVR if service is canceled? Them giving a $10/month credit may not be enough to keep me. Still completely undecided.
