I just prefer they make it clear what is being offered. Personally, i dont think you should say 'up to 20mbps' if what they really mean is they'll bump your speed up to 20mbps for the first few seconds. That would be like selling a car that gets 50mpg but only for the first 10 feet. I also would...

What they might have been referring to is NOT what they said. I specifically asked what speed i would be getting and was specifically told that section of the page where it says 10mb is a mistake, i would get 20mb. And even if what you say is true, they should do a much better job of clarifying...

TW promotion for turbo internet says at the top of the page up to 20mbps for 44.95. Or you can get standard internet for $34.95 for up to 10mbps. But if you if you bother to click on the details for turbo, it still says up to 20mbps at the top of the page, but scroll down a bit and it now says...

Oh, so there's no menu of settings or anything when you do the system wizard? Does the message go away on it's own after a while? cuz after a while i stopped looking at the screen. So maybe it did finish and i just missed it when it said it finished reconfiguring. I never used the system wizard...

so how long does it take for the system wizard to actually do something? because it's been sitting at the entering system wizard screen for a few minutes, and then it just went away. Is it supposed to do anything beyond that?

thanks, i'll give that a try when i get home later.

so just press zero on the remote to enter the system wizard? i'll give that a try and see how it goes. I thought it might be interference, but i don't see how that would cause it to respond slowly. I'd assume if it was interference, it just wouldn't respond at all.

for some reason when i use remote #1, the system seems to respond much slower then compared to #2. I press a button on remote 2 and it pretty much responds instantly. i press a button on remote 1 and sometimes i'm not even sure if i pressed the button because the delay is so long. sometimes i...

$200 just to lease it seems over-priced to me. $400 would definitely be way over-priced.

I run my own server as well, although i'm fortunate enough to have someone with the spare hardware and bandwidth that I can keep it at a colo facility for free. Otherwise I'd do the same as you (if fios was available for me) and host my server at home.

The ping's are usually always very low for me - at least when i do the speedtest. They usually pick the closest test server to your location so it has the fewest hops, which will reduce the ping Run the test again with a server that's not so close and the ping times go up, for me anyhow. I do...

I mean they are the same as in they all use your broadband internet connection to place and receive phone calls.

I dont remember the exact model # - it's a samsung LCD (not LED) 240hz 46 inch tv that i picked up a bestbuy july of 2009 One thing i noticed is that when we're playing a game on the PS3 on the tv, there can be some tearing on the screen. Wondering if there's any way to compensate for that...

bummer - so if i got a 922 receiver, i'd likely have to get a 2nd box in order to have a 2nd tv hooked up to the service? external hd - since this one has a bigger internal drive for me that would be less of an issue. Oh well - maybe it's good that it's less appealing - i'll be less tempted to...

What limitations?

So ross - your high failure rate was likely a result of it over-heating? I'm brand new to dish so i dont know what their reliability is like. My box is not in any sort of cabinet. It's on a shelf under the tv and the shelf is open on all 4 sides so hopefully heat wont be much of an issue. But...

Ok. I just ordered a 2nd uhf remote on ebay - if it doesn't work i'm going to send you the bill :) thanks

you have to pay to cancel it? geez - that's beyond a little ridiculous. Are they turning into ticketmaster where they charge you a fee to print out your own tickets? ;)p So if i dont have the service plan, and something goes bad, i have to pay $95 for a tech to come out AND i would have to pay...

you ... asked ... him? you mean face to face communication? People still do that? :)

according to that pricing, all the channels i watch would be under $5. I'm also one of the ones who never watches any of the sports channels. personally, i'd rather have ala carte. let me pick what i want.

i dont understand this protection plan thing. if we're leasing the boxes from dish and one goes bad, what would we have to pay for if we dont have a protection plan? I had directv for 2 years and had their protection plan - never used it. I'm assuming i'll never use it from dish either unless...

If your friend in the same area has dish (and there's no trees or anything blocking your dish) then yeah it seems strange your signal strength is so much lower. Maybe you dish antenna needs to be better aligned?

How do you know if the guy who does the install is a contractor or works directly for dish? I have to say, the guy who installed my setup this past weekend seemed to do a good job. He showed up earlier then i was scheduled for (7am instead of 9am) but 2 hours lost sleep ain't so bad :) I just...

my guess would be you got the promo pricing and then when you called whoever you spoke to probably quoted you the non-promo pricing - although $89 is still higher then non-promo for the 200 channels with HD and the 722k receiver. Should be 60 something a month after promo i think. You know how...

I just signed up with dish this past weekend. I have two tv's hooked up - one gets HD channels, the other just gets standard. I have the 200 channel pack plus the HD addon and my monthly bill is $53/mo. If you want two TV's both to have HD, then you have to pay more since you need a 2nd receiver...
