    Price Increases for Dish on 2/1/2005

    Possible Explanation? Dish is raising costs mainly due to the increased programming costs to them from the providers. I mean just look at the Viacom fiasco and the other providers they've been fighting with. They have to re-negoiate with someone probably every other day. Also, the premiums...

    my 921 story...

    yup A few things The reason that you don't have tracking information is 1) the obvious that you already know, the receiver is on back order. also 2) expedited shipping actually goes through fedex, not UPS. Also, the $549 through dish is a promo cost in that it includes the installation...

    Tried Cancelling hd package and wasn't allowed

    Actaully If you look at the commitment that you sign, unless it's a 3rd party retailer commitment, there is nothing that says you can't cancel the HD pak. The first promo with the hd811 that was selling it for $149 i believe had a 1 yr commitment to the hd pak but nothing now, including dishn'...

    Will 522 be available to existing customers

    Will 522 be available to existing customers

    522 Availability The 522 is an amazing receiver and as you know is only offered to new customers as of right now. The reason it is not being offered to the existing cutomers is because of the dramatic change in the installation and setup of the systems that the techs would encounter. The dish...

    811 dies, but does seem to respond to IR...

    Don't do it! You don't want to place an existing smart card in any of the new dish receivers that have the built in technology. Static from the card can get into the box via that slot and fry some of the board causing the receiver to go bad. The slot is for future upgrades but it will be a...
