    Losing HD Absolute. Any suggestions?

    Cancelling dish service is very painless and they cancell service immediatly. If you take them up on the shipping back offer, then they will send you a nicepre paid box to put the receiver and remotes and LNB in and they will only charge 15 for the whole thing. If you have the little receivers...

    30th Anniversary promo ending

    I cancelled my service last night and was shocked at how they didn't even try to keep me as a customer. Now we get to start the fight over who owns the 722.

    Losing HD Absolute. Any suggestions?

    I am in the same boat. Lost HDA, but at the last minute got a good deal on platinum and starz plus a nice discount. Then the first of febuary it all vanished. Now they are offering pretty much nothing to keep me as a customer. So now its time to ditch the dish and go streaming for free ( or...

    Guy Takes DISH to Small Claims Court and WINS! (Because DISH Didn't Show Up)

    Judgements awarded to creditors or those that are awarded to average Joe are almost never collected on regardless of the amount. They seem to be more of an aggravation to the opposing party than anything else. I have won many judgements against contractors and customers over the years but only...

    722 is recording everything in my lists, not just new stuff.

    just an update. Deleting the timers of problem shows and then putting them in later seems to have helped a little. At least its not recording everything. and I found out that my pause does work on recorded programing, just not on live TV.

    722 is recording everything in my lists, not just new stuff.

    Deleting the timers seems to have helped with some of the recordings. But two shows continue to want to record all. Teen wolf and southpark. Whats odd about it is that when I look at the weekly timers it only has them recoding one or two shows. But as soon as a show records it then puts a...

    722 is recording everything in my lists, not just new stuff.

    Thanks guys I'll give the deletes a try but it may not help much. I think something else is going on now because last night I found out I can't pause live TV anymore. Push pause and it just freezez for a couple of seconds and switches to live TV. Skipping backwards also doesn't work. It will go...

    722 is recording everything in my lists, not just new stuff.

    Hey guys. My 722 has been acting up since the new software downloaded a couple of weeks ago. Instead of just recording only new shows, its recording all shows. I checked to see if "new" was checked and I also did a hard reset. But so far no luck. Only thing I can do right now is to go through...

    Lots of "Event Stopped by STB reboot"

    My 722 started giving me problems about 3 weeks ago. At first it was just on OTA stations. The programs would record but they would be all pixelated and messed up like there was a storm. But then last friday I was watching Fringe as it was recording the show. It seemed to be a perfect picture...

    What would you do?

    On of our local installers drives a 2009 hummer and although it looks neat, I know he is loosing money ever time he starts that thing. So I don't give him good marks for being frugal or a good money maker and it would raise concerns about if he's cutting corners on an instal just to make a...

    Dish Network bids for Blockbuster at the last minute before the bidding deadline.

    Most likely they will use the purchase to further enhance the idea that Dish is the movie persons choice. But they will also be in a great position to offer first run movies on pay per view at really cheap prices to subscribers. Whatever the deal is, I am sure Dish has thought it thru really good.

    Coronal Ejection coming our way.

    The sun has turned all perv on us lately. For the past month we have been getting ejaculated on quite a bit. Over this past weekend we got hit by a big one and some scientist are predicting the activity is just going to keep increasing for a while.

    Echostar to buy Hughes

    I had Hugesnet a few years ago because at the time it was my only high speed option. It sucked big time. They throttled traffic bigtime. Some places like speed net were wide open but file sharing sites like rapidshare slowed down like a modem. and playing online games was impossiable because of...

    Amazon Dish Promotion (Qualification Dispute)

    Amazon is really easy on the returns. So if you buy the TV and something is wrong with the deal?, just return the TV. Sometimes, Amazon can even help speed things along.

    Losing HD Absolute. Any suggestions?

    Don't feel bad. I am going to be on my fourth call today or tomorrow to try and get this crap straightened out. Mine went from AT120 to 200 (twice) and my credits I bargained for ,10 plus 10 , have been disappearing. Last night I checked online and all it had listed for credits was a courtesy 3...

    Losing HD Absolute. Any suggestions?

    I don't think Dish knows what the hell they are doing at this point. I took the offer that was given a few days ago , plus the discount, plus the free premiums. This morning I wake up and turn on the set and I am back to HDabs but I have FX in HD plus a couple of others. But All my premiums...

    Audio drop outs

    This has been happening to my 722 on EA also. I only watch HD channels so thats all I can report on. Happens a lot on Natgeo and science channel. But I have also noticed it on food network and USA network. Sometimes its just a couple of seconds, other times its about 5 or more seconds. Another...

    Skins is Dish's Fault?

    Skins is awful!! I can't say its kiddie porn as some have suggested, but it is just a downright awful show. All it made me feel was pissed at how stupid and weak those parents are and how obnoxious and disrespectful the teens are. If my kids would have still been living at home, I would have...

    HD-Lite?

    When I first got satellite, years ago, I had direct for the first couple of weeks but had it removed because of the picture quality. Dish was so much better. It didn't have the "blockieness" that direct did. But now that HD has showed up on the scene, things seem to be going in reverse. Now...

    Losing HD Absolute. Any suggestions?

    When you get retentions, listen to the csr and if she sounds young and very southern? You got a winner. But if you get an older woman, a very business sounding woman or a burly sounding man? Just hang up and try later. The CSR I got a hold of talked to me about everything from the snow were...

    Losing HD Absolute. Any suggestions?

    Stan, you better call and make sure of your prices and the terms because every Direct price I have seen while searching is only for 12 months. After that it doubles. Your package on the 13 month will be 59.99 plus receiver fee's, plus taxes, plus etc.ect.. So your 51.00 pack will most likely go...

    What is the cheapest plan to keep the DVR?

    If you have locals and the two dish setup. Make sure you knock both dishes out. Otherwise the kill signal can still come thru and screw everything up. I still have an old 502 I just plugged in to see if it worked and it works fine. I wonder how long they broadcast the kill signal, before they...

    Just got my letter. Oh well, guess I'll just wait till the first of next month and see what they do. But my neighbor got his yesterday and he called in and started arguing with them.(he's a hot head) When he told them just to cancel the service now. They sent him to another department and they...
