    Lease Fee questions

    Okay I upgraded to the VIP 622 back in 2006 when at the time you had to pay a bunch of money and wait 4-6 weeks just to get the box. At the time I had a 811 and a 311 which I owned. But with the 622 came a lease and I returned the 311 so I had 2 receivers. In Feb of 2007 I called and asked...

    Time to get returned reciver credit

    Okay well when I upgraded to the 622 I was offered a $25 credit for returning my 311. And since I figured that the 311 wasn't that valuable and I didn't want to bother with ebay I sent it back. But now it is about 20 days later and still no credit on my bill. Any idea what the standard time...

    "Follow the leader" slogan

    Okay I wasn't sure exactly how to say this and I don't want to be insulting because this site has been a HUGE help in me as a new E* customer. But recently I started noticing the "Follow the Leader" slogan and I guess it sort of rubbed me the wrong way. And I actually think this is the BEST...

    KCBS blackout

    Okay I really didn't want to make this a new thread and if a mod wants to roll this into something else I understand, I just wasn't able to find which thread to roll it into. So this morning I got up and at about 5:50am (PST) I tuned to KCBS (LA local). And it was there, I was confiused but...

    921 prices for NEW customers

    I know most of you guys have had dish for a long time. But I have been lurking for a while and now that I see the 921 might actually be released. And now that my 811 order has been delayed, I am wondering what sort of deals will be offered for new customers who want the 921. Thanks for...
