    Media General Stations Removed from DISH, Agreement Reached

    I'm in the Roanoke area and we've lost NBC in this dispute. The *only* thing I care about losing in this whole dispute, the only thing I would possibly watch on NBC is Sunday Night Football. I'm a lifelong Washington Redskins fan and the Washington vs. Dallas game is tonight. I've found out that...

    Extended Cinemax Deal

    Interesting, that's how I lost my Cinemax for a penny, too. Most every other autopay I've ever had will send you an email if they attempt to charge your card and it's expired or denied. They give you the chance to update your information in a timely manner. Not Dish, they cut off my Cinemax for...

    Why no Starz channels?

    The same thing happened to me. I got nothing. I went on chat today to ask why I was excluded and the CSR offered me free Starz. Since I had him on the line I thought I'd go for what I really wanted, which was a year of free Platinum instead. He had to run it by his supervisor, but they gave it...

    BBC America HD - Coming This Summer!

    +3 on Top Gear. This is where my DVR earns its pay. They're a breeze to watch without commercials. That show would be sweet in HD.

    Could you advise me?

    I followed the advice of harshness and whatchel1 and kept my 622 for my second television and added a 722 as my primary receiver. Thanks for that. Everything went great with the CSR. He was able to arrange everything I wanted for only a two-year commitment (which I was figuring on anyway, I...

    Could you advise me?

    We just spent $$$ having the local retailer do an installation of our new dish so we could pick up Ciel 129. I'm thinking I might like to keep some cash in my pocket and let Dish take care of this one. Now that our locals are available in HD I'm not shopping around for TV service. For us the...

    Could you advise me?

    Thanks so much for your response. Per your advice I think the best thing is to keep the 622 and get a 612 to go with it. I just wanted to know what I was talking about before I agreed to anything with a CSR. Satellite Guys is definitely the place to get your facts straight first. Thanks Laddyboy.

    Could you advise me?

    I've bought a new HD TV to replace our second TV. We've been using a 622 receiver since we didn't have HD capability before. Now I'd like to see about getting HD for our second television. I've already found out that we're eligible for leased receivers with a 24 mo. commitment. What should I be...

    Roanoke CBS-HD

    Glad to see the updates on this issue. I've been wondering about when WDBJ HD would become available. Now I'm pinning my hopes on June 17. Always a dangerous thing with Dish...

    Roanoke HD Locals Tomorrow?

    I have a few questions on this... I was looking at Digiblur's map of 129W Transponder 5 Spotbeam 39 and we're located outside the green line but inside the yellow line. What does that mean for us? I've gathered that we should be able to repoint our dish from the 61.5 satellite to the 129...

    I'm another one crying in my beer about the broken promise of Roanoke locals in HD in March. It takes the fun out of coming here looking to be thrown a bone when we're fed lies (re: March launch) to begin with. I know...I should know better by now.

    Did Lynchburg/Roanoke HD Local get turned on

    I'll need to doublecheck what we're pulling when I get home.

    Did Lynchburg/Roanoke HD Local get turned on

    I'm another one who's been waiting not-so-patiently for Lynchburg/Roanoke to light up in HD. We're way up in the mountains and get nothing OTA. I was hoping for February, but as long as we get results March will do (since it has to). What I'm most curious about is will the feeds be mirrored on...
