    Exede Reviews?

    Hello. My in-laws live in the middle of nowhere, with no available cable or DSL service within several miles. They've asked me to help them investigate other internet options. They've been a dial-up cell connection through Verizon that is terribly slow. Again, middle of nowhere - even the cell...

    Lose discounts with package drop?

    I'm currently on the 200 package, and am getting the $10/mo AMC discount, combined with a $5/mo referral discount. If I drop down to 120 (or 120+ to keep RSN) will I lose the discount? Even saving $5/mo seems worthwhile. I'm not under any contract.

    Sub suggestions?

    I am on the lookout for a new subwoofer, probably in the entry- to mid-level range. I have an old Klipsch 10 incher that has started to crackle a bit... It is over 10 years old. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

    Autopay Invoices?

    I am a former AT&T Dish customer, have dropped AT&T and converted to Dish only. We signed up for autopay, but I realized that I have no way to view my statement online. This seems crazy to me. I also only get payment confirmations from Dish, but can't look at the payment breakdown. Is there any...

    Unbundling - how long does it take?

    A question for those of you who have unbundled services, having from AT&T/Dish to standalone Dish. How long did the unbundling process take? We had quite a hassle with AT&T after we cancelled our landline, and now I'm waiting for things to transfer over to Dish and hoping everything goes well...

    St. Louis NBC (Ch. 5) audio issues?

    Last night I watched (DVRed) the Heroes premiere on my 722, and it was plagued with intermittent audio dropouts -- I'd watch the display on my receiver that normally shows all five channels, and they'd disappear during the dropout, as if it was totally losing the signal. Tonight I watched...

    ESPN HD... wow!

    I caught the Cards vs. Cubs game last night on ESPN, and was wowed by the picture quality. Amazing. I've only had HD for about a month and am still blown away by the picture quality. I did notice that the picture on ESPN was much better than what I saw during the last FSN Midwest HD...

    Disappointed in upgrade process

    Here's a question that I am sure I will get a huge range of answers on. What level of service is typically included on an upgrade to the HD service? Let me tell you the story of my HD upgrade and see if this sounds kosher. I'm going to call to complain anyway, but: On Friday, an installer...

    522 odd behavior

    My 522 has been one of the best pieces of electronic equipment I've ever owned. I've had almost no problems with it since they first installed it over 18 months ago. What happened last night was far from catastrophic but I wonder if it's happened to anyone else, and if it's an indicator of a bad...

    522 Issues

    Like most people here with 522 or 625, the latest software upgrades have brought back the old AV problems for me. However, this time I'm thinking the problems may be of a different source. Previously, all the problems I noticed were in watching recorded programs. I must admit I made this...

    SBC/Dish... am I missing something?

    I am a Dish customer, through SBC, and I've noticed something about the programming package that irks me. As I understand it, under Dish (not SBC) there's a package that costs $31.99 a month and includes AT60 plus locals and the regional sports network (here, it's Fox Sports Midwest). With...

    Weird Guide Issue

    Last week, I noticed a strange glitch in the Dish program guide, and I'm wondering if there's any way around it. I was trying to record "The Wiggles" for my son on the Disney Channel. (No comments, please!) I don't remember the exact times, but say it comes on at 8 a.m. The show only runs for...

    Weird remote problem

    Ever since my 522 was installed, I've had a weird remote problem. I have a Panasonic TV as TV1, so the IR remote is programmed to it. All the functions of the TV work fine with the remote, except the volume control is "sticky." I press it up, and it moves up two or three clicks. The installer...
