    Goodbye Dish Network

    Dish has allowed 722 & Hopper equipment on the same account. Back when I was DA/FS, I talked to a tech who was installing 2 HPRSLNG in a guest house on an acct that had three 722s. I told the tech that's not an option. Customer gets on the line and screams do it or I cancel. Got him to Loyalty...

    Dish Customer Service Still sucks

    I was a Dish CSR for 5 years so I do know all about business rules. Especially ones that EVT broke lol

    Dish Customer Service Still sucks

    Eh, I'll chime in and say DIRT sometimes doesn't know what they're doing. There was a promotion going on last year that DIRT said they had no information on, but I was able to call and get it no problem. Considering it was a promo that a tier 1 CSR could provide, I highly doubt they were...

    Free upgrade to the Hopper 3?

    They really should've called the Hopper 3 the Dingo. :)

    OTARD. It's not just a good idea, it's the law.

    Doesn't designated locals eliminate a true free market?

    IIRC, Waco TX has two CBS's, one based out of College Station and the other out of Bryan.

    Is this number associated with DirecTV?

    Seems to be DirecTV collections.

    Channels that need rename/rebrand?

    They could rearrange the letters in Music Television and get Live Mice Sit On Us.

    Different local channels

    Cable has different rules for locals than satellite does.

    Tulsa and OKC locals from Griffin Communications on clock with Dish now

    I "moved" to KC. Didn't occur to me to get either Ada or Wichita. Makes sense though.

    Tulsa and OKC locals from Griffin Communications on clock with Dish now

    Tulsa is within the Kansas City spotbeam, fyi.

    FOX News Channel/DISH dispute

    They should've replaced it with Al-Jazeera. For the lulz.

    Just saw a commercial, DirecTV may lose AMC and other channels, is this true?

    AMC said that DirecTV is in violation of it's contract because they dropped AMC in latin America. Just because they're contractually obligated doesn't mean they still won't pull it before the season is up. http://deadline.com/2014/11/amc-networks-blackout-directv-1201271612/

    So if a plane flies over a MLB stadium will they get a blackout message? :haha

    Dish Network Ordered to Change Social Media Policy

    Agreed. It wasn't even proprietary or confidential info he posted. Needless to say he was pretty surprised when he was called into HR over it.

    Dish Network Ordered to Change Social Media Policy

    Yup, this happened to a coworker of mine when I worked at DirecTV. AFAIK, he never ID'd himself as an employee, but posted something about their equipment return policies (I don't know if it was on here or on the other site) but DirecTV corporate security got notified somehow and the site admin...

    Forced satellite removal by landlord

    Maybe this is a case of the old management allowing some bending of the rules, now that the new management/owner is here they seem like the bad guy, even if all they're enforcing is the current lease agreement.

    Forced satellite removal by landlord

    OTARD doesn't work like that with apartment complexes I don't think. They can say absolutely no roof mounted dishes and nothing can be done about it, IIRC.

    Forced satellite removal by landlord

    The dish must be wholly inside the exclusive use area. If the dish is on a non-pen or a bucket filled with cement and the mast is in the exclusive use area but the reflector or LNB arm extends past your patio, then OTARD doesn't apply. Given that she's on a balcony, I don't know if they dictate...
