    How long do your movies take to arrive in the mail?

    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...

    Dish Online Guide Displaying Wrong Channels

    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...

    Is moving with your Dish account actually free?

    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...

    Worth re-upping for 24 months?

    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...

    Replacement Remote

    The dog chewed up the remote for my 612, so I've been looking for the best deal on a new one. Unfortunately, every store seems to gouge on shipping (Dish, for example, charges shipping that is almost as much as the cost of the actual replacement part itself). I don't need the remote fast, and...

    Isn't a week of MLS Direct Kick free preview supposed to get turned on today? Or did I misread a press release?

    Good places to look for basic information about Satellite Systems

    Hey guys, Lately, I have been interested to follow the conversations about recent channel uplinks, the shuffling of satellites, malfunctioning transponders, various spotbeams, WA vs EA, etc. At the same time, I have often found myself a little bit lost when the conversations take a turn for...

    Echostar/Rainbow case developments?

    Does anyone know if there has been any movement on the E*/Rainbow dispute? I haven't seen any info about it on the intarwebs in months now.

    The "We know this channel is down at the moment" screen

    It seems like, lately, I have had an increasing number of times when I have gone to watch a DVR'ed program on my 612, only to be greeted with a half hour/hour of the "We are aware that this channel is not currently available and are working to restore service" screen. I never had this happen...

    Suddenly Missing Programming

    Here's an odd question: I am a Silver subscriber and have been with Dish for a little over three months. I didn't scrutinize the programming packages too closely when I signed up, but since I subscribed, my girlfriend watched a lot of Style Network and HGTV. A few days ago, when my 3-month...

    612 Splitting shows in to multiple parts

    I couldn't find a similar thread elsewhere on the board, so I hope I'm not duplicating a previous question. A couple of times now, I have noticed that my 612 DVR has split recorded programs in to several pieces. Last night, for example, I recorded Fringe, from 7 to 8 pm. When I came back...
