    Reception Problems with HGTV

    Is anyone having problems receiving HGTV? About every 5 to 10 minutes, the picture will pixelate and loose sound for a second or two. I just had my dish realigned so I don't think it is an alignment problem. So far, I have only seen the problem on HGTV. I have a HR44 receiver if that matters.

    I'm about to order Dish online at dish.com and was wondering if when you specify that you want a joey receiver will the installer have the joey 3, or are they still installing joey 2's?

    Ordering Dish

    I am going to switch from DirecTV to Dish and was wondering if it would be better to order directly from Dish at Dish.com or from a local authorized dealer. Any thoughts?

    I recently found two old Dish PVR508 receivers and am wondering if there is any value in them. I am assuming that I should just recycle them. Does anybody have any suggestions on what I should do with them?

    Channel is currently not available

    I had my directv service installed on July 5th and still get a message when tuning to an "on demand" channel that says the channel is currently not available. For example when I tune to channel 1000 I get a message that says "1000 (DTV) is currently not available". Also, when I select menu...

    What equipment am I required to return after canceling service

    I am planning to cancel my Dish Network service next week and was wondering what Dish will require me to return to them. If I am going to have to send back the dish and the LNB, I will have the installer that is installing Directv remove the dish from the roof when he is here. I really enjoyed...

    Refer-a-Friend

    Today, I called and ordered Directv and was told I could take advantage of the refer-a-friend program because my dad has a Directv account. After getting off the phone, I realized that the AT&T representative didn't ask for my dad's directv account number. What should I do to make sure I get the...
