    Flex

    If I sign up for the Dish Flex pack, is it still $29.99 after auto pay discount or is it now $34.99 for new customers? Also, do new customers signing up for Flex get the $5 DVR discount? I asked Dish sales and was told they can't tell me any pricing until I give up my social security number!?!?!?!

    Flex pack

    Is flex pack still available for new customers? If so, can you get it with the $10 monthly hopper 3 price promo? Also, I notice all the current promos are set to expire in two days. Anyone know of anything new in terms of offers starting later this week? Should I start now or in three days?

    Local installer options

    I am on the HOA board for a condo complex with six buildings in Long Beach, California. We have been very relaxed about letting satellite dishes on our roofs. We have 82 units, and at this point there are 60 dishes on the roofs (at least four of which are not being used by anyone with no...

    New directv customer

    New first time DirecTV customer here. Previously had OTA for about a year with a TiVo - prior to that had Verizon FIOS and before that Dish. Signed up on Costco.com for the $300 cash card offer with the Select All In $50 package with a Genie and one mini genie. Price stays the same for 24...

    Returning customer

    It's been a few years but thinking of returning back to Dish -- I'm pretty impressed with the Hopper 3 even compared to my Tivo. From what I'm seeing, though, the only cost effective way to come back is with the Top 120+ three year deal which is $49.99 plus another $15 for the Hopper 3. I...

    What package do you subscribe to?

    Just curious what package everyone subscribes to? Just for nothing other than plain curiosity. ;) The poll is limited to 10 options so that is what I'll have on here -- but curious as to what people get. Personally, I subscribe to Dish America currently.

    Another day another incorrect web page

    Why is it that Dish can never get the programming on its websites correct? Is it incompetence or Charlie playing poker with its customers by lying about what is in its packages? Just moved to Dish America due to this link...

    protection plan

    With the increase in price from $6 to $7 per month, are you still required to keep the protection plan for four months after adding it? I added it a few weeks ago for a tech visit call to solve a switch problem with my dish and am wondering if I still have to keep the plan for the four months...

    Travel channel

    Just tuned into Travel channel HD and it appears to be the sd signal stretched to 16x9. The normal travel channel hd logo isn't there either and just shows "travel channel". Yes I'm seeing this on both 196 and the 94xx channel number. Anyone aware of any issues with Travel channel right now...

    Blockbuster movie pass / Starz

    Just got a free 3 mo trial of movie pass. Surprised that I can see about 300 streaming selections for Starz in the movie pass section On my 722k even though I'm not subscribed to Starz -- tho movie pass comes with starz cinema. Was able to watch a random title for free. Even though I don't...

    Palladia

    The hd listings on dishnetwork's website now show Palladia being in top 120, 200, etc. Is this correct? It used to be that Palladia was in the America packs but not the Top 120, 200 or 250 unless you subscribed to Platinum.

    Free premiums

    Well, I logged into Dish Network under My Account and looked at pay per view certificates and saw I was given 6 free ppv certs on Jan 27 that expire on April 27 2011. Since I didn't talk to Dish about anything with my account I wonder if this is my free premiums. I have top 250 and the free 3...

    Latino Max

    With Latino max, do the HD channels still "map down" or do you have to tune to the 5xxx channel number that the Latino packages use? Thinking of moving from Top 250 to Latino Max, but the thought of having to go through the 900 range music stations just to see more of the HD stations is...

    Dishstore - can't buy receiver????

    Called Dishstore.net to purchase a new or even refurb 211 receiver if they had one. Or a 211K if they didn't still have a 211 at a decent price. So I called them this morning and spoke with a random agent on the phone and was told that since I was already an existing customer I would have to...

    Disney channels - dishnetwork.com

    Just was looking at the list of standard def channels in the Top 120, 200, 250 packages on DISH Satellite TV - $24.99 & HD Free For Life - Let's Watch TV and noticed that they don't even list ABC Family, Disney or Disney XD. I thought I previously saw it there in the SD listings (although the...

    922 / Google TV

    It is my understanding that the "new" 922 can't integrate with Google TV. Is this correct? IE -- only the 622, 722 and 722k can integrate? If so, which is the better option in everyone's opinion? A 722K with Google TV or a 922 without Google TV? Thanks!

    Dish America gone as of today?

    UPDATE: OK... that was strange.... I logged off my account, logged back in, and now programming shows my $29.99 Dish America with locals as a current package again (without the note I got earlier), and it shows Dish America silver and gold as options once more. Very strange!!!!!!!!!! Just...

    Epix / Dish Network

    There's an article in today's LA Times about Epix, and they note that Epix has recently inked deals with several providers including Charter and others. However, no mention was made of any potential deal with Dish Network. Just interesting based on many of us thinking that Dish has signed an...
