My 5.4 remote just went bad and I was wondering what the best replacement remote would be for the VIP 211K receiver. Any input would be appreciated. Thanks.

I called and scheduled my upgrade for a VIP211. I own an 811 and they told me that there would be no fee involved. The only catch is that it will be a lease with no monthly fee, if I discontinue service I would need to return the 211. I can keep my 811, but I can give it to them and get a $10...

I have been a dish customer for about 8 years. I started out with a 5000 unit and still have it. The delays on the program guide are driving me crazy. Mainly I would like to upgrade to a newer unit that would have the guide update a lot faster. I do have HDTV capable televisions, but I'm...

I see on the dish website that they have the 6 months free HDTV programming for NEW customers only, not existing customers. My service expires in 2 days and I wonder what they will do to keep me. Probably jack squat.
