    HD America Gold

    I don't think you can get platinum with the Dish America packages. I've tried and the CSR's always tell me its not possible. Also, just be aware of all the "new" HD channels you'll lose.

    DISH Statement on Stella Passage

    I just chose "For" the bill and it went to 50/50, so not many "people" voted for it on the site.... who cares what people think, Obama will sign it and that's all I care about.

    DISH Locals Launching in June

    But if Dish is going to import stations from neighboring DMA's to fill the DMA and the neighboring ones are in HD, wouldn't those imported locals be in HD? For example, I'm in Lafayette, IN, and all the Indy locals are in HD, so I would hope that ABC, NBC and FOX from Indy would at least be in...

    Pricing Update from Dish Network

    I thought I read in one of the many previous posts that the TurboHD packages were going to get a price decrease.... any truth to that?

    DISH Network Statement on Satellite Act of 2009

    I understand that, my statement was assuming this bill becomes law and Dish can do what Directv can. Am I wrong in that this new bill will allow Dish to import again? I was just clarifying to the post that said importing out of DMA stations would undermine the affiliates in the DMA. I assume...

    DISH Network Statement on Satellite Act of 2009

    I don't think it undermines the local affiliate at all. In Lafayette, IN D* imports the Indy ABC, NBC and FOX stations but supplies the Lafayette CBS. From my understanding Dish can only import networks that aren't in your DMA.

    WTHR (NBC) Indy HD coming soon?

    All American discount

    I got the e-mail too, and it was because I had (last year) ONLY the SD channels. The e-mail was promoting the HD channels and you get the discount when you add the HD channels to your SD subscription.

    Landlord forcing us to remove dishes from patio/balcony

    When I moved the Dish installer had to make a temporary mount and just drilled the arm mount into two cinder blocks. It might not be as ugly as a bucket and is a little more stable in my opinion.

    WTHR (NBC) Indy HD coming soon?

    If only WTHR would sign my AAD waivers so i can get NBC in West Lafayette.... starting to look for my Indy address

    Ask AllAmericanDirect - Distant Network Q's

    Maybe, but for me it's more of a price issue. I don't care if its Chi, NY or ATL, as long as it's cheaper than it is now (and HD).

    Ask AllAmericanDirect - Distant Network Q's

    So, to the best of your knowledge, are there any talks of further price reductions to get more customers, or is this as low as it will get for the foreseeable future? AAD should work on strong arming the local affiliates in Indy to sign waivers! WTHR and WRTV refuse to sign any waiver, which...

    Turbo subscribers and "Thank You" offer

    I did get a 722K. Whether or not I acutally get that when the installer comes, we will see, but I was already charged the $30 for the OTA module. I already have a 722, and the CSR was confused on why I wanted to upgrade, but then I said I was in a DMA w/o locals and I wanted to be able to...

    Turbo subscribers and "Thank You" offer

    I'm moving (legitimately :rolleyes:) to a new address on Aug 1, and I wanted to upgrade to a 722K, so I took the offer. I'm a Turbo HD Gold sub, so I'll get three months of Platinum free on the same date that the whole "free Platinum" stuff is gonna go down. Not sure how it's going to work...

    Club Dish Referral Credits

    I was probably gonna wait until Aug 1 to deal with Dish b/c at the same time I'll ask them about Platinum HD stuff. I got the same offer that was mentioned in another thread of $10/month for 12 months, HBO/Showtime for three months and Platinum HD for 3 months b/c I'm a Turbo Sub. I start a...

    Dish can't be installed on 3rd floor apartment???

    I ordered through Dish Network over the phone and they had a local retailer (Cellular Connection) do the install. The guy who came and did the install had a five gallon bucket and concrete ready for me, but I just put a mast in the ground. I think most local installers will be ready for an...

    Dish can't be installed on 3rd floor apartment???

    I live in an apartment complex and they have a couple people who have masts in the ground and they just ran the cabling up to the apartment by going up the wood alongside the stairs to the second and third story floors. Not sure if it was approved by the landlords, but it hasn't been torn down...

    All American Direct (AAD) in HD $25 EACH? OUCH!

    Not sure if they will ever drop the prices, but if they do I might consider getting AAD HD; however, my eligibility has changed since the site first re-launched with the HD channels. I used to be eligible for two stations, FOX and NBC, but now the site says I need a waiver for each of the big...

    Playlist in software version L621

    I'm stuck on L618, is there any way to force my 722 to update to L621 or do I just have to wait it out?
