    Losing HD Absolute. Any suggestions?

    All worked out well for me..... On January 31st I called the number and paraphrased the letter about HD absolute being cancelled. Bottom line is that I signed up for Dish America, an HD only pack, and they gave me the HD platinum free for a year and they gave me Stars HD free for a year...

    The advertising here is scaring me big time!

    I have been shopping for furniture in my home. I looked on overstock, and amazon for a closet organizer by John Louis Home, and a platform bed with drawers that are under the mattress. I was looking at a kitchen table with one of the chairs specifically shaped to fit in the corner of a room...

    The Stick it to Dish anyway you can thread !

    I wonder about this on a few levels. 1. Individual people will go back to account stacking, like OJ Simpson 2. Some shady retailers might be inclined to do account stacking - I'm not sure how but I am sure they will figure it out. 3. Dish makes money when your receiver is connected. They...

    Stargate Universe

    Yea, it is more like the ring technology. They can easily ring themselves down to a planet. The problem that throws that off is that they were able to dial the 9th chevron to get to this ship in the 1st episode. They claimed in the previews that the show was going to have more character...

    The new I-Phone is a joke

    That sounds like a legitimate argument. Some will like it, some won't. Here is an article from CNET.com: The 3G iPhone: It's already here | The Open Road - The Business and Politics of Open Source by Matt Asay - CNET News.com Their CNET reviewer said, " I get more done and can type...

    The new I-Phone is a joke

    I think the idea was to let 3rd party developers do some of this. Slingbox support is coming, that sounds very good. I think that will take care of a TV platform support. I haven't heard whether it will do voide dialing or not, if it doesn't, I'm sure there will be a 3rd party program to...

    The new I-Phone is a joke

    Can you please share with us what the "real thing" is? The ResearchInMotion has a server in Canada which holds all of the emails as a conduit for all of the blackberries. Do you recall that single point distribution method failing 6 months ago, when everyone all of those blackberries lost...

    The new I-Phone is a joke

    That might be a nice feature, but it doesn't make good business sense for apple to do that. They want to be a world wide carrier via GSM. CDMA is a better technology, I hold a couple of patents on CDMA (GPS patents), but it doesn't have the world wide adoption that GSM does. The 3G iPhone...

    HD-DVR tuner with an HD TV2 out?

    It would be nice if this would work with that upcoming TR-50 OTA DVR that dish is coming out with. I don't want to have multiple receivers on my account because of the extra charges...

    Dish messed up my bill in my favor, can't get Indian CSRs to figure it out.

    Called a 3rd time to technical support, got someone from Colorado. He was sort of helpful. Looks like when I signed up for the HD Only package, they decided I needed a dish 1000 on my roof and wouldn't turn on my new channels until they did it. I called and asked why the new channels weren't...

    Dish messed up my bill in my favor, can't get Indian CSRs to figure it out.

    This is comical. I switched to the HD Only pack on 2/1/08. After viewing the new package for one month, my bill is -$51.81! Don't know why. I think I should have to pay them $40.97, that should be my charge. The first month will be prorated between the old package and the new package, so...

    Unlimited Cell Phone Prices.

    I hope so. I would like to see their $40 plans include more minutes. 450 minutes for $40 is not a good deal, even if it includes mobile to mobile minutes. I also hope that the iPhone works with the AT&T unlimited plan for $100/mo. That sounds like a good deal.

    New DishHD $29.99 HD Only Package Details

    Dishbuilder asks for your zipcode, and based on that, I get SF locals. I captured the dishBuilder image using a program called grabber, it comes with Mac OS X. I don't know how you got dishBuilder to show you an HD Enabling fee. The CSRs didn't charge me one on my bill. They know I am...

    OFFICIAL: Dish Network Not Enough New HD Complaint Thread

    That is my point exactly! Get rid of the fashion channel among others, and replace them with something that has at least some compelling content. I would enjoy watching stargate in HD! The viewership of SciFi HD will be a whole lot higher than Voom Ultra!

    OFFICIAL: Dish Network Not Enough New HD Complaint Thread

    They don't need more satellites to add new HD, there is no excuse here. A good portion of that Voom stuff hasn't changed in years. Get rid of the fashion channel, and add SciFi. A lot of their channels are lame, and can be replaced with what Charlie used to call "Compelling Content"...

    I signed up for the 29.99 Hd Only Everything Pack Today

    I found out why I don't see my channels, the CSR scheduled an appointment without telling me to install a dish on my roof for the 129 orbital slot. Funny thing is I don't need this, I told them I have 61.5 which mirrors 129. The CSR knew this, and still scheduled an appointment, but didn't...
