Well, it is not quite that bad! In my case, I will be able to stay on a lower tier (AT 120), so I will able to save $20 per month for 6.5 months. So, with the cost for Center Ice at $170 minus $130 in savings for staying on the lower tier, my net cost would be $40 for the season. In my view...

The president@dishnetwork.com is the email address given in Charlie's add. I'm guessing it is set up just for comments on the Fox dispute. The ceo@dishnetwork.com is for all matters. Ed

Because I am holding E* just as responsible for this fiasco as I am Fox. If they cannot reach a settlement within the next few weeks, I refuse to support either company in the future. BTW, my calls to the major advertisers on my RSN are paying dividends. I have received calls back from the...

Sorry, but I respectfully disagree. Fox did in fact decide to withhold their programming. Fox should have done what was in the best interests of their viewers and continued to provide the programming under the terms of the old contract while a new contract was being negotiated. They could have...

Well, since Fox has decided to with hold their programming and since everything I read from them suggests that we should switch providers so that we can receive their programming, then I think it is only fair that Fox should pony up and pay all of our ETF's. After all, it is through Rupert...

No. If this dispute does not get settled in the next few weeks, I will be forced to pay the ETF. I will then walk away and never, ever look back at E* again! I hope it doesn't come to this. Ed

I am using a Western Digital 'Elements' 2TB drive model WDBAAU0020HBK-NESN with my VIP722K. It works very well. It can be purchased at Newegg as well as many other places. One advantage of this drive is that it does not come shipped with any bloated auto-sleep software. Ed

Well that's great! It will almost cover your new access fee for 'Absolute'! :) I'm not trying to bust your chops here man. Just pointing out the irony in it all! Ed

I agree. I have been to small claims court twice and won both times. Just because some company's lawyers write some ridiculous terms into a contract as a condition of service does not mean that those terms will hold up in court of law. I have seen more than once where those terms have been...

Yes, me too! I have some doubts about my LOS to the Sat 129. I hope we have a sunny day on October 8th and 9th at 4:40pm local time here, so I can see where the satellite is. Ed

Yes, I'm afraid it is too late for your friend, but in the future always verify when the tech calls that he has the equipment you want and ordered on the truck. If not, cancel the install and reschedule it for a later time when you can get the equipment you want. As far as your friend is...

You could give the bouncer from the local bar $20 to ride with you on this call. He could be your trainee. :D Or, if the guy gives you any trouble tell him your going to your vehicle for a part and don't come back. After all, they can't expect you to work in a situation where your personal...

I'm a relative Dish Network newbie, being 6 months into a two year contract. I'm pretty happy with the service, but it is mainly because I took the time to read carefully all the customer agreements, researched all the equipment, and contract terms before I signed up. So, I knew very well what I...

WD 2TB Elements EHD $119.99 Hi all, I am using one of these WD 'Elements' 2TB EHD's on my 722K. It works great. Now they are on sale at Newegg for $119.99 plus $4.99 shipping. I just ordered another one. Newegg.com - Western Digital Elements 2TB USB 2.0 Desktop External Hard Drive...

That is correct. Dish must feel that most people would not be willing to give up the service for 90 days. Honestly, I think it depends on your own situation. I receive about 20 channels OTA. Also, Netflix at $8.99 per month is a good alternative for movies in the interim. So to me, depending on...

I agree. If someone is willing to pony up the cash to purchase their own equipment, there is no ethical reason for E* to charge the same monthly use/lease fee as they would charge someone who has actually leased a unit. That to me is highway robbery. I could understand a small (maybe a few...

Some would argue that they are increasing the prices commensurate with the cost of the equipment they have provided. That may or may not be true. However, I would argue that they have increased the prices on the higher end existing subs to artificially reduce the prices of new lower tier subs...

According to the latest DHA24 agreements, it is 90 days now.

You are probably lined up on the wrong satellites. 101 and 110, possibly. Ed

Tulsa Agent Thank you for being honest. Many of us who read these boards regularly and through our own experiences are aware that most of the things you have mentioned are occurring or have occurred, just as you have said. I agree that some of the things you mentioned are a bit underhanded...

Even though Sat 61.5 is on Dish Network's eastern arc, its physical location is at 61.5 degrees west longitude (61.5 degrees west of the prime meridian). Ed

I am using a 1000.2 dish and I am getting a signal of 53 on SAT 129 Tr 20. Ed

Just because this information does not impact your particular situation, what makes you think that it will not 'change everything' for some of the over 2,000 people who have read this? Ed

:up:up:up:up:up Absolutely! The competition in market created by all the tv providers, not just DBS, has created this situation. There isn't a week that goes by here that I don't receive mailers from some DBS or cable provider offering hundreds of dollars in free equipment to sign up with their...

Sorry I can't answer your question about the 722k oddities, but this may help your wife when she gets buried in too many menus. Just push the 'view live tv' button once and you are back to normal viewing. IMHO, that is the most valuable button on the remote. :) Ed
