    Farewell and thanks

    I just cancelled my Dish service as of one week from now. (We're downsizing and moving very soon.) I've been thinking about cutting the cord for a long time, and this seemed like the right time to give that a try. I've been with Dish for many years. It's been a good service, but I watch less...

    How much notice before canceling service?

    I'm selling my house. The closing is Dec. 1. How much time does Dish need to pull the dish out, and for me to send back the 722k? I'd like to keep the TV going as long as possible before leaving. I can't commit to having Dish at my next place, since I don't know where that's going to be...

    Long, fascinating article about Dish on Bloomberg Businessweek

    Very well written and interesting as are some of the comments afterwards. It's an impressive company with some strange quirks. “I haven’t had a face-lift, Charlie,” she replied. “I just don’t work for you anymore.”...

    TVJapan freeview

    This is probably already known, but if not- TVJapan on channel 640 is in free preview mode. Multiple providers including Dish are making this channel available because of the disaster over there.

    Celtics not in HD? (CSNNE channel 435)

    I just checked my guide and none of the listed Boston Celtics games are available in hd for some reason. I called Dish, but the people I talked to didn't seem to be well informed. The games are carried on Comcast New England channel 435 sd and always before, on hd. Just last week there...

    AMC hd question

    I'm new to hd, so I'm probably asking a question that is common knowledge: How come Dish does not yet provide AMC in hd? It seems sort of on par with USA, TNT, TBS, Spike etc., all of which are available on Dish in hd. Is there some sort of legal conflict or something? This is not a...

    basic Dish hd question

    Hi, I've had Dish for a long time, and am finally going hd next week. I have a simple question: Is there a current list of Dish hd channels available on this site? I have the top 250 package. Is platinum hd included when I upgrade my 250 to hd? Or do I have to pay extra for the platinum...

    question from first timer

    I just got set up with a Super Dish and a DP301 yesterday. I have a simple question: Is it recommended to keep the power on overnight on the box, or to shut it off? Thanks
