    Classic Bronze 100 + Multi Sport Package?

    So currently I have Turbo HD Silver + Multi Sport Package (which includes my favorite channel for the next few months NFL RedZone). I am considering making the move to Classic Bronze 100 (with DVR) + HD & Platinum and I would like to know if any of you have been able to add the Multi Sport...

    Multi-Sport package on Welcome package

    I have Turbo HD Silver and was told I would have to switch to a classic package to get the Multi Sports pack. But I went ahead and selected the Multi Sports pack option online anyways and have been enjoying it along with NFL RedZone ever since.

    More info on NFL RedZone on Dish

    Confirmed. This Turbo HD Silver customer enjoyed all the best parts from the best games all Sunday! NFLRZ is freaking amazing! If my team isn't on than this is what I will be watching, no question. And of course, I like many of you, was also told by Dish I could not do this and would not be...

    More info on NFL RedZone on Dish

    After getting confirmation two weeks ago from a Dish Online Chat representative that my current Turbo HD Silver would be elligible for NFLRZ by adding the Multi Sports Pack ($5.99). Now today I ventured to add the Multi Sports Pack and the representative told me that I was not elligable for...

    "Moving" stories--for more desirable locals (in lieu the upcoming NFL season)

    Yep. I have researched it. They should have 7 away games on WSEE this year and Fox WFXP is supposed to show their week 2 and 3 home games against NFC opponents (Tampa Bay and New Orleans). Then after their 2 national games (ESPN MNF and NFL Net Thursday night) and the week they play my...

    "Moving" stories--for more desirable locals (in lieu the upcoming NFL season)

    Yes indeed you are correct. I did not explain myself very well in the previous post. What I am referring to is that initially they set me up on a 1000.4 Eastern Arc setup, which I was fine with, until I realized that they locals I wanted were on the 129 satellite. So they set me up with a...

    "Moving" stories--for more desirable locals (in lieu the upcoming NFL season)

    I am fortunate to have access to both the Eastern Arc and Western Arc Satellites and live in an area where there are multiple local areas available to subscribe to. Between the spotbeams I can pick up and the locals available on ConUS beams I imagine I could see almost every NFL game. My goal...

    DVR service charge question

    What if you were to switch the box with a non DVR box (and just sell the 622 or put it in the closet)? Could you escape the fee that way?

    Loyal customer for 9 years and still can't get a deal!

    I ended up taking the original deal they offered. CLASSIC SILVER 200 + HD + DVR for $57.99 with the 622 I still don't think I was being unreasonable but I don't necessarily fault Dish. Most every other Cable\Satellite company is guilty of the same tactics. Again it wasn't like I my grams...

    DVR service charge question

    What if you currently have a DVR receiver (VIP622) and no longer use or find use for the DVR. What are you options? Can you still use the receiver somehow? What will Dish do if you cancel your DVR service when you have a DVR receiver? Can they disable DVR in a DVR capable receiver? I am...

    Loyal customer for 9 years and still can't get a deal!

    Indeed she knows not the difference. I wanted her to have exactly what I have so I can help her maneuver through it better. And the 722 learning remotes would be especially nice. I wouldn't care so much if I living next door and could come over and help her whenever but I am states away and...

    Loyal customer for 9 years and still can't get a deal!

    My grandmother has been with Dish for 9 years and upon visiting her this weekend decided that the 9 year old receiver she has and the outdated programming package need to be upgraded... Since joining Dish myself a month ago I figured I would be able to get her something very similar to the...

    Dish 500 only grabbing 110...how to get it to pull down 119

    722k receiver. The reason they did EA is because LOS was a bit more difficult with WA. They would have had to put the dish on a pole about 100 ft away from my house.

    Dish 500 only grabbing 110...how to get it to pull down 119

    Didn't know that. Thanks for the info. Most folks in my area are on the Western Arc since our locals are on 110 SD and 129 HD. They put me on EA because it was easier to get LOS but toward the end of my install the technician said getting 129 would have been possible but we would have had...

    Dish 500 only grabbing 110...how to get it to pull down 119

    So I have a typical EA setup along with a 500 grabbing 110 (to get my SD locals). So of course the installer only set it up to grab 110 because that was all I needed. But of course I am a greedy satellite subscriber and I am looking to get AAD Distant Networks NY/SF CBS and FOX for the NFL...

    "Moving" stories--for more desirable locals (in lieu the upcoming NFL season)

    So the NFL season is upon us and I wanted to hear from some of the veteran Dish folk about their experiences "moving." What I would like to do is jump around every week or couple weeks to different ConUS local networks (CBS & FOX) depending on which NFL games they will be broadcasting. Does...

    Midwest/Indy "moving" question Erie/Buffalo locals?

    Thanks for all the info everyone! I really do appreciate it. If the 129 maps are considered to be quite accurate it may actually be worth my time to mess with trying to pull down the 129 satellite and make a "move" to Erie, PA. So one more question. Currently I have a 500 dish with only one...

    Midwest/Indy "moving" question Erie/Buffalo locals?

    I'll take whatever definition I can get as long as I can get me some Bills games. I have a 722k with an OTA antenna so I get all my Indy locals in HD so I don't have to have HD.

    Midwest/Indy "moving" question Erie/Buffalo locals?

    So I live in Indianapolis however due to the fact that I grew up in western New York I am sadly a huge Buffalo Bills fan. I just got Dish and I am trying to figure out the best scenario for me to be able to get locals close to Buffalo so I can get at least a few of their games. I have already...
