I just talked to two different csr, both of whom denied the promotion ever existed. Oh well.

Yup...Never mind the fact that PPV prices are ridiculous. The last time I paid $5.99 (or $6.99) for a movie rental was during the Clinton administration.

I've had both services in the past. If you're only interested in games, Gamefly wins, hands down. You get new releases quicker. Their stock is more robust. Shipping is faster. I found Blockbuster to be kind of a dud.

If you're talking about adding it a la carte, you can't.

I can't say that I'm especially happy with either service. I was a Netflix subscriber for years, but found my use of the service waning. First, there was the 28 day wait, then, there was a progressive degradation of titles available for streaming. Sure, the one business day turn-around on discs...

How long does it take, on average, from the time when you get the email notifying you that a movie is on the way to when it ends up in your mailbox? For me, the average seems to be about 4-5 business days. Before people jump all over me, this is not a complaint thread. I'm purely curious as to...

Not seeing the promotion Is this promotion not available for everyone? I currently have the Starz promotion and am an HBO subscriber. When I log in to my account, the offer does not appear anywhere.

You shouldn't need to call. The same thing happened last season for me. I signed up for multi-sport in September, FSN AZ was removed (but I still received it), then it was re-added to my programming list when I canceled multi-sport in January.

When I logged in to dish online today to set a DVR recording for this evening, I noticed that the guide did not report all of my channels correctly. Some of my locals, for example, which I receive in HD, were listed in SD only. There were also locals listed with call letters different than...

Hmmm...poaching execs from Comcast. This can only benefit customers.

When there's not much happening, they usually switch to the game with the team on a drive closest to the red zone. Also, there are no commercials, so that's a plus. In absence of Sunday Ticket, it's a worthwhile $8/month.

Dbacks and As is still listed as JIP an hour and a half in (5th inning). No HD feed available. It seems like FSNAZ is an especially egregious offender. Any word from DIRT, yet?

@MattG - Pm sent. Thanks, in advance, for your help!

I will be moving to a new house in the same city over the summer. According to the Dish website, getting a new dish installed and having the service transferred is free, but it says that some restrictions may apply and fees may apply for *some* customers. None of the CSRs I have spoken to are...

IFC Sundance

Ummm...That's why I'm asking...Are new contracts incentivized through cheap equipment upgrades?

My initial two years is almost done (April, I believe). I am definitely staying with Dish, but am trying to decide whether to re-up for a new two year commitment, or to simply go month-to-month. Is there any incentive to signing a new contract? I didn't see anything readily available on the...

My 612 sure hasn't. I looked the other day, and it still appears to be an endless stream of disorganized garbage.

I have both and am decidedly un-amazed. The way Dish's limited On-Demand offerings are listed, it's impossible to find anything of interest, and most of the list seems to be taken up by things like Horoscope recordings and other similar detritus. I certainly get the reasons Dish is not able to...

I guess I wonder why, "Is there snow on your roof?" doesn't seem to be a standard question installers ask before making a service call. My parents, who live in Maine, recently called to make an installation appointment. After being given an appointment window that was something akin to...

Does Sundance becoming available on Platinum mean that it is being removed from the Showtime pack? That would make me an unhappy camper, as I subscribe to the latter, but not the former.

I can't complain with the free 3 months of Starz I just got, but I wonder why these offers aren't standardized. When I asked about the promos, the CSR had "check with his boss," as if he had heard nothing about them. Then, he said that the Platinum promo didn't exist, and I didn't get PPV...

All I know is that the app worked this morning, but now, after an update, a reinstall, and two reboots, it hangs on connect. Thanks, Dish!

Great - a bunch of regional sports networks with almost completely blocked out programming. What a sweet trade-off!

It's been out for a month or so now, and when it works, it's fantastic. I actually tend to prefer using it to the remote. Unfortunately, dvr access is still completely hit or miss. Log in often hangs, or else the program is simply unable to connect to the dvr.
