    Low signal

    Every night about 11:15 pm my signal for the NYC locals drops down to where I usually lose the signal. I only have a problem with the locals on the spot beam, not the other channels and it only happens after 11:15pm or so. The signal usually goes back up about 30 minutes or so later. I am on the...

    Cancellation charge's

    I had Direct TV and was out of contract and just canceled it. They said said they would pro-rate the bill for the month and credit my credit card for the amount they owe me. I see that they are now charging my account for the first receiver which is usually free and HD for which I had free HD...

    MSG back on?

    I chatted with a Dish agent tonight and she told me that yes they did have MSG and MSG+ available in my area now. From what I just read on this web site it's not even uplinked anymore. The following is the transcript of what she said: Welcome to DISH Network, your home for TV Everywhere and...

    Locals Only

    Does anyone know why you can not just get Locals Only? I have had the Locals Only for the past six months since since I downgraded from AT200 and 5 receivers to only one receiver since Dish took MSG off the air. Now they are telling me that I need to have at least the Welcome pack to get the...

    New install question

    I just got Direct installed last week and they installed a dish with the lnb for 99/101/103/110/119. I was expecting the lnb for just 99/101/103 (no international channels for me) and just one wire running from the dish to the house but they installed 4 wires from the dish to the house (75'...

    Switched after 12 years

    I finally switched from Dish to Direct today after being with Dish for over 12 years. I had no complaints or problems with Dish until I got HD last year. All I heard from Dish was excuses (mostly lies) why they couldn't show all of the baseball games on SNY in HD and why they don't have MSG in...

    New HD locals?

    Has anyone heard if Dish is going to be adding the Rochester NY locals in HD this month? An installer for Dish told me that they were told that they would be adding Rochester NY this month and converting existing customers over to the EA setup.

    New customer questions

    I am getting Direct TV installed this week with 2 HD receivers and 2 sd receivers. I'm not really sure at this time how many receivers I really need (family member or two are planning on moving out). Would it be better to just have Direct TV install 2 more receivers since they will do up to six...

    Return lnb?

    I am switching to Direct TV from Dish and was wondering if Dish will make me send back their Dish or lnb from the EA setup they installed at my cottage? I own all of my receivers and the dish's and lnb's at my main home so I won't have to worry about them.

    Dish price increase

    I knew Dish was increasing their prices earlier this month from reading this forum but when I received an email from dish today to say that my statement was ready it only said "some customers may see updates to their monthly bill". Why don't they actually say on your statement that we are...

    How many HD receivers

    I am getting ready to switch to Direct from Dish. I was wondering how many HD receivers Direct might give me without paying extra for them? I was looking to get maybe 4 or 5 HD receivers (no DVR's).

    Discounts

    Does anyone know why Direct gives extra discounts to certain areas of the country when you signup as a new customer? If you put in the zip code in N.C. (27326) you get an extra $14 for the second year but if I put in mine I don't get the discount for the second year.

    Can someone tell me if it's possible to receive the NYC HD locals from the 61.5 spotbeam in Rochester NY and what size dish it would require? I was hoping to bring a receiver to our camp when we go on vacation.
