    $19.95 Stand-alone HD Package?

    $6 fees If you get the HD standalone package for $30, wouldn't you have to add the $6 lease fee and the $6 DVR fee if you get a 622? The DVR fee can be waived with a qualifying package and I guess the Lease fee is waived on the First leased receiver? So the HDPAK minimum would be $30 plus...

    HD Enabling fee - $6 starting Feb 1st - If you dont have qualifying HD programming

    I have had a 6000 since they became available, MY FIRST AND ONLY Dish receiver. When I bought it it did not have an OTA module. They said for $150 I could buy one. Between the Receiver $1250 and the OTA module I invested $1400. I later had to buy an QPSK or something like that because they were...

    622 Launching Feb. 1st - same price as 942

    I see on the Echostar Tech support site for the VIP 622 that being able to receive OTA signals now requires that you be SUBSCRIBED to Dish. In the past with my 6000 the only requirement was that you had to receive a Sat signal fror the OTA tuner to work. Does this make my 6000 a doorstop if I...

    Dish Network Sidegrade fee

    Dish just pulled one that I think is unconsciable. My Latest bill came and I saw that they intended to charge me another full year for the HD PAK. Having recently switched to Comcast and keeping the Dish HD PAK (only because of HDNET), I called and told them I wanted to return to monthly...

    First Look: Dish 942 HD/SD Receiver (Updated 1/24/05)

    Thay were all HD-Ready but if one has cable with HD capability a settop box can be had for $5 a month in some areas. Now if someone has to depend on OTA then an additional $4-700 outlay for a settop box can be steep. However the requirement that sets have HD tuners in the near future will...

    HDNET/Reagan funeral

    HDNET is showing the funeral coverage at the Cathedral in HD. It is spectacular. Apparently the pool cameras were HD as the coverage is the same as the original broadcast. It should have been carried by a network on the day of the funeral. Looking forward to the Burial service at the Library in...

    Dish/Receiver cost vs. Cable

    Cable/Dish vs. Voom I have been a long time subscriber to analog cable and Dish network. I have had an HDTV for several years and have enjoyed these discussions regarding the three providers. With the analog cable we are able to receive 70 channels on all of our tv's for one price ($46). I...

    Comcast reply of Previous Thread

    Same deal here. I had TMC and Cinemax after installation. I made the mistake of inquiring why I was not getting INHD2 (It still says NOT AUTHORIZED) and after getting answers ranging from "Its a pay channel" to "we are having trouble with that channel" and after checking my account the Cinemax...

    EchoStar Willing to Drop CBS in Dispute With Viacom

    I don't believe this fight is just over carrying the O&O Cbs stations. I believe it involves the carrying of all VIACOM subsidiaries as a package deal. I guess he can't pick & choose but has to take them all at a fixed price. So VIACOM threatens that you won't get CBS unless you take the whole...

    Voom vs Dish: Who wins

    I was about ready to switch to Voom but I am still considering the total cost. To rent Voom costs $9.50. I would keep the Dish HD pak $9.99 as Voom doesn't have ESPN nor HD net & Movies and appears unlikely to get HDNET. All Dish really has to do is add CinemaxHD/TMCHD and Starz/EncoreHD. As I...

    Guide says one thing, channel banner says another?

    Corrupted Dish guide I too have had ongoing problems with my E*6000 program guide. It would show PPV on regular channels, an entirely different program would be listed in place of another program or it would say that your smartcard is not authorized to receive this program. I have pulled out...
