    120+ deal with Multi Sports Pack

    I felt it was a programming error because I had most of the Multi Sports Pack Channels. I did the call back option with Dish and got with a Account Manager. He found discrepancies other than NBAtv. I was missing a few others. They are fixing it now. Just something to keep aware of I guess when...

    120+ deal with Multi Sports Pack

    So, I finally came back to Dish after a couple years when I received this promo deal. The install went well and it looks like I have every Multi Sports Channel except NBAtv. Dish chat tried to tell me I didnt have Multi Sports Pack. I was like I have the letter right in front of me. It says...

    Updating Hopper to HWS

    Same price. I was in the same boat but I wanted to upgrade my Joey to a Super Joey along with a HWS. I think I am only paying an extra $3 for the new setup. The biggest difference I have noticed so far is between the Joey and Super Joey. HWS is definitely faster but the super Joey is not only...

    Dish Streaming Service to Be $30, Charge More For Broadcast TV

    Do we know if the OTT streams will be included in the guide like OTA are? Seems like it would make sense for Dish to allow customers to scale back programming while keeping all their existing functionality.

    DISH Drops AMC Networks (AMC Back on DISH channel 131)

    So the spread is 200mil - 1 billion. If I was Charley, I would say anything close to 1 billion and we go our separate ways forever. 200 Million and we can talk.

    DISH TO BUILD BROADBAND NETWORK

    This service would be great for my folks. They live just outside the city limits by a mile and have no access to Cable or DSL. I have them setup with a Sprint 4G Mobile Hotspot. My mistake was thinking Sprint was going to be faster in deploying 4G. The service is still around $60.00. Since they...

    DISH Blockbuster@Home vs Netflix

    I agree. I liked having the entire BB store at my disposal with my first exchange. Games or Movies it didn't matter. I think BB is actually making out quite well with this agreement because most times I was in there getting my exchange, I picked up several other new movies at $1.99 a pop which...

    DISH Blockbuster@Home vs Netflix

    They are different animals on the streaming end. Your Dish receiver downloads the BB movies. Depending on your IC , it will either seem like streaming or you will have a 15-30 second buffer like we did. Our movies pretty much started within seconds of Watch now. I thought the quality was on par...

    Dish Rated as Worst Company to Work For by Employees

    I have managed call centers before and the first step in rebuilding broken moral is to hire competent CSR's and Train them well. If the first person you talk to manages to get everything right , its considered a miracle. In our case , it was the returns department that moral was broken because...

    Dish dispute with Sinclair...reached deal in principle

    Free OTA modules for everybody!!!! :D I know this may have been said in jest but I am totally on board with this. OTA for hoppers should have been out by now. This Sinclair dispute may help speed up the process. I could see Dish sending these out for free for the markets that are...

    DISH Blockbuster@Home vs Netflix

    We had Netflix 3 years ago mostly to watch premium HBO and showtime series. For us Netflix was not that great at offering newer movies. So when we had watched the previous season of our favorite shows we dropped them because for us they didn't offer anything we liked or had already seen. A few...

    Dishonline useless

    I get this often as well. In my experience logging out and back in, then reconnecting the DVR usually fixes the problem for me.

    Droped Dish for Comcast

    We had comcast's triple play 7 years ago. For those that have young children that may not be old enough to have cell phones, it could be a potentially dangerous situation. Our Internet went out at least 5 times the first year. As you know with triple play, so will your phones and tv. We could...

    DISH Sues Networks

    Sorry for a dumb question, but other than cost what would keep dish from giving all subs a OTA tuner and just tell the big 4 networks to take a hike on retran's fees? Not only that but what if all Cable and satellite providers did this? It seems we are on our way to this point now. I applaud...

    What do I lose if I switch from 722 to 922?

    I would wait until the next update comes out and read the reviews. Personally my 922 has been pretty good. Since my upgrade last summer I have had probably 4 reboots that were unexpected. Slinging via Dishonline has been ok. I find the Dishonline to be more buggy than the sling itself. It is a...

    VIP 922 promotion

    I am going to guess No. I dont see this happening until 722 stock is gone which may be a few years.

    VIP 922 promotion

    Just wanted to throw out some interesting tid bits my installer offered. He seemed to think Dish was in fact purchasing Hulu and that the 813's will have 4G built in at some point. This is just hearsay and probably just flat conjecture but thought it was interesting that he offered that without...

    Streaming with Blockbuster Thread

    I think the problems can be all of the above. For some it will be network related. It is also a possibility that 'Move Networks'(purchased by Dish this year for adaptive streaming) or Dish themselve's might be playing catch-up with the added streaming users. Here is an article the describes...

    Is the 922 free yet?

    I had mine installed today. No OTA and unfortunately my 622 had OTA built in, so I could not do a swap while he was here. However, for some 722k upgrades, I could see them getting away with this if the installer is cool with it.

    VIP 922 promotion

    imo the new tech coming out is overkill for most 1 or 2 tv families. I decided to go with the 922. I figured in two years they should have a functional XIP receiver with 4G tech built in. At that point I might consider it but only after the first adopters gave positive feedback.

    Streaming with Blockbuster Thread

    In my case the movies are delivered just a bit faster than I can watch it. I am able to fast forward through the first few minutes of the opening credits from the start. I think Dish has something that they can really build on and make great. I am withholding judgment on other concerns until...
