    I just switched from comcast to Dish....

    I totally agree. Comcast isn't bad at all, but they do not have a superior picture to satellite (either provider - cable providers download off satellite too) Something is not right with this installation I think.

    I just switched from comcast to Dish....

    I use to have both Comcast and Dish. I kept Comcast for internet and switched exclusively to Dish for TV. I've got 211s at 3 locations (which is why I switched to Dish for TV) and have never noticed a picture quality issue vs. cable. Are you using HDMI connections to all the displays?

    additional location

    I do not believe they consider it "stacking" if the subscriber is the one using the tuners. I have two tuners at my house and a third that travels with me. It spends summers on my boat and winters at my ski condo. Dish is well aware of it and there has never been an issue. To the OP - call...

    Dish America HD "Metal" Packages no longer offered?

    Please do let us know. My DA options have been grayed out for weeks. I had to have Matt change my subscription a while back from DA to Silver as I couldn't do it.

    Satellite AV Contest - GEOSATpro microHD - Enter to Win - Drawing on 6/11/2012

    I remember putting a lot of miles on the old Schwinn 10-speed bike riding to friends houses, to the ballfield, and to the creek for swimming. There was a lot of jumping off the railroad bridge an into the refreshing waters of said creek. God only knows what was below that water that we could...

    Tailgater is NOW AVAILABLE

    Does anyone happen to know which VuQube the Tailgater is based off of? I'm assuming that at a $350 price point (which is darn good) it must be one of the lower models, like the V20?

    Losing HD Absolute. Any suggestions?

    I hope that works out for you. I was going to do that too, but I called today to verify if my next bill (tomorrow) would be at my Absolute price of $49.95, of the "Proposed" price of $84.98. I was told it would be the higher price. I told them I didn't want any changes. The next time I...

    Losing HD Absolute. Any suggestions?

    At least I seem to be in good company. As a 14-year subscriber I have always gotten good customer service from E*. But not today. It's almost as if there was an internal E* memo that said "all Absolute subscribers are expendable". I've been willing to pay $50/month for my weekend cabin, but...

    Losing HD Absolute. Any suggestions?

    The heck with it. I just cancelled service. I'm now rid of Charlie in my life. Good riddance.

    What is Dish gong to do with this? (Scott?)

    That's Terrestar, isn't it? They've had a rough time of it what with their $1,500 Windows Mobile 6.5 phone and all... :-)

    Losing HD Absolute. Any suggestions?

    Do you really still have the $.01 Cinemax? I got it for 2 years, but then the offer ended.

    Losing HD Absolute. Any suggestions?

    Is there always a $7 or $10 charge for a second receiver? Even if it's leased or owned? I have 2 receivers, both leased. I was thinking about buying one or two and returning the leased receivers, but I've now gotten both answers from Dish (go figure).

    Losing HD Absolute. Any suggestions?

    Here's what I'm showing as well: DISHHD ABSOLUTE$29.99 HD Solo Receiver$7.00 Cinemax$13.00 Monthly Charges$49.99 I suppose I should really stop leasing my two 211 receivers and get rid of that $7 HD Solo fee...

    Losing HD Absolute. Any suggestions?

    I don't know if this means anything or not, but I just got billed for my HD Absolute package from 1/17/11 - 2/16/11. I know they can/will prorate billing, but one would think they'd only bill thru 2/1 if the package was ending on that date.

    HD absolute access charge?

    I was thinking about adding the $7 sports package for NFL Redzone, but I think I'll hold off as I don't want to be the one who finds out the hard way! :-)

    HD absolute access charge?

    Is that what your actual PDF or paper bill says, or what your online account says. For me, the two are different right now.

    HD absolute access charge?

    From: Satellite Television - Frequently Answered Questions - DISH Network The Service Access Fee is a $6.00 monthly fee applied to all accounts that do not subscribe to one of our basic programming packages. The costs we incur to deliver specialty programming are far greater than what we...

    DISH HD Migration off of 61.5

    I'd rather do a box reset. It's quicker than a check switch test :)

    DISH HD Migration off of 61.5

    Scott, I agree that one sat is better than 3 (that's what made the previous use of Rainbow One so attractive, but we won't go there :-). It's just that in my case, during the transition I'm going to have an issue with HD Absolute being on 61.5 while my premium subscrition will be on 72.7...

    DISH HD Migration off of 61.5

    This somewhat sucks for me. The two places I have E (my boat and my winter getaway in SW PA) only have Dish 300 (the boat is a tracking dish, but that's basically what it is). Granted, I can re-align each to receive 72.7, but not at the same time. Thus, I'm going to have to pick and choose...

    VOOM Goes BOOM - update Dish Drops all 15 VOOM Channels

    I personally find your contempt of those of us who enjoyed Voom's programming almost as annoying as your lack of English language skills. "your [Sic] right" - should be "you're right" "just to [Sic] amusing" - should be "just too amusing" Voomers - let's all consider the source of...
