    Move in location prohibits satellite dish

    Is this a city ordinance situation or a problem with the property owner? Is there any way the Dish can be installed in a "temporary" way so it can be removed without damage to the property when you move out? Maybe on a pole on the ground?

    Did you get a free Roku offer?

    My McIntosh system serves a dual purpose in my living room...two-channel stereo audio and 5.1 surround sound for movies and shows like Breaking Bad. Best of both worlds. Like I said before, none of this would be an issue if Dish had not dropped AMC. :mad: Instead of a Roku streamer, maybe...

    Did you get a free Roku offer?

    My home theater audio system is McIntosh which I love dearly. The cost to upgrade to their newer A/V Control Center with hdmi is unfortunately not an option for me at this time due to my being unemployed/retired. Once you go Mac you do not go back. :) :D None of this would be an issue if...

    Did you get a free Roku offer?

    Audio quality is apparently more important to me than you. Perhaps I should finally drop Dish for a provider who does not play games like Charlie does and make my Dish receiver a paperweight.

    Did you get a free Roku offer?

    Thanks, but... 1. I want DD 5.1 without buying a additional equipment like a switcher. 2. None of Roku's current models have a digital audio out port. They had an older discontinued model with the digital audio port; why they chose to eliminate that feature is a mystery to me and their...

    Did you get a free Roku offer?

    I already knew that it works through the tv's internal speakers. The problem is that there are many times I watch TV shows (like AMC's Breaking Bad and Mad Men) through my home theater surround sound audio system. Roku does not allow me to do that. Dish gave me a free Roku but it is useful to...

    Did you get a free Roku offer?

    I will repeat what I said early on in this thread. Roku is worthless to me because it does not have a digital audio out port. My old but very expensive audio home theater system does not have an HDMI input and I can not buy a new one that does. Would it have killed Roku to have included a...

    Did you get a free Roku offer?

    As I stated in another thread, Roku is worthless to me since it does not have a digital audio output port. I called Roku and asked why their players do not have that feature and was told their players are designed to be direct connected to only the TV and not to an external audio system unless...

    DISH Drops AMC Networks (AMC Back on DISH channel 131)

    It is nice that Dish is offering a free Roku 2 XD streaming player but there is one enormous show-stopper problem with Roku for me...it does not have a digital audio output so I cannot connect it to my home theater audio system. Roku has an HDMI output which is fine if your audio home theater...

    DISH Drops AMC Networks (AMC Back on DISH channel 131)

    I agree completely that Dish is being stupid and childish. Charlie Ergen is a known gambler but he should not be gambling with his customers. It seems that Dish is trying its best to get me to look elsewhere for my TV provider.

    DISH Drops AMC Networks (AMC Back on DISH channel 131)

    I just sent the following email to card-shark Charlie: This concerns your threats to remove AMC from your channel lineup. I see that you have now moved AMC HD from channel 130 to 9610. That means I now have to remember the new four-digit channel number and according your customer service...

    I record many shows/movies on my DVR. What are commercials? :)

    DISH Drops AMC Networks (AMC Back on DISH channel 131)

    According to Dish's news release, they say they are dropping AMC due to poor viewership. However, when I spoke with Dish's Customer Service and Loyalty Department about them dropping AMC I was told that AMC is one of their most popular channels. Once again, Ergen speaks with a forked tongue.

    I just sent the following email to Dish: "I read that Dish is planning to drop AMC and I see that it is no longer listed on your website's channel lineup. IF YOU DROP AMC HD I WILL IMMEDIATELY AND PERMANENTLY CANCEL MY 15-YEAR SUBSCRIPTION WITH YOU. Dish's increasingly unscrupulous business...

    30th Anniversary promo ending

    Satellite and cable companies need to listen to people like you. If Dish ever drops networks like ESPN (I doubt they would do that) then I would leave Dish in a heartbeat.

    More and more people, especially the younger ones, are doing the same as you. People like you are scaring the pants off cable and satellite providers. The times they are a changing.

    Replace 501 receiver with which model? -- 512 too noisy!

    It appears I am unable to send you a PM...have tried 3 times. I can send myself a test PM but nothing goes to you. Is there another way I can contact you?

    I see that now. I would like to also see the specs for their current receivers be listed on their main web page... under "Technology > DVRs & Receivers."

    Replace 501 receiver with which model? -- 512 too noisy!

    That's good to know. Thanks for your responses. Several reviewers online (Amazon, etc.) complained about the constant excessive noise so I was concerned about that. I still don't like the idea of having to get a 24-month agreement to get a 612, especially after first being told that I would...
