    Dish lied to get a new contract

    Thanks Skee7ix. I wouldn't normally yell and stomp my feet over $5, however, there have been a number of issues with this upgrade/contract extension: 1. Promised FREE tech visit to fix signal issue (I was out of service for 2 weeks) and install Hopper. I was charged $95 and had to call, only to...

    Thanks Primestar and Claude. I would have never thought to call my attorney general. I responded to Maryb above and we will see if she is able to help. I will update this thread when I have more information. Thanks.

    Lost signal, Dish wants $100 to look, my contract ends this week, unsure what to do...

    Hey everyone. Original poster here. I wanted to provide some closure to my situation (I always find it annoying when someone starts a thread, asks for help, but never returns to provide updates). Thanks for everyone who responded. I ended up staying with Dish and signing a new 2-year...

    Lost signal, Dish wants $100 to look, my contract ends this week, unsure what to do...

    I've been a Dish customer for 6 years now, which is why I was a little surprised they wanted a fee to fix my signal issue. I guess I have to decide if I want to add the protection plan and get it fixed or jump to DirecTV and get a fresh installation with new equipment, albiet at a 2 year...

    Thanks for your quick replies everyone. The tech on the phone told me that it was likely my wiring or maybe a lnb as Dishman said. I checked the coax from outside to my wall connection and it passed. Couldn't check my exterior wiring because I was unsure how to access the wires at the dish...

    Question - Combining OTA and SAT to TV2

    Just wanted to post my update and write a conclusion for future reference/visitors. I installed the splitter backwards, with the TV2 signal (fm modulated signal from SAT box using exisiting home coax) and a line from my ANT, with an output to my TV2, and everything works perfectly. I get all...

    Question - Combining OTA and SAT to TV2

    Yes, I have existing home wiring at TV1. I guess what you are saying, is combine it at TV1 and have both signals go through the existing home coax. This would probably end up being a long run. I think what im trying to do might be a little easier. I would combine the signals in the attic...
