    Terrible Customer Service!!

    I haven't called yet as I am pretty sure it can't go out on a Sunday. But that is good advice. If I had done so the first time they said they would send one I could have caught this sooner. Hopefully it will be on the way Monday (or Tuesday as it is a holiday). Hey, by the way, your private...

    Dish/Sinclair Dispute

    Unfortunately not true anymore. The FCC is extremely political. It has been weakened over the last 20 years significantly and is just about "owned" by big business, not the people.

    Dish/Sinclair Dispute

I hope everyone here understands that if Big Business is allowed to continue to weaken FCC regulations we will see much more of this, as well as more manipulation of...

    Terrible Customer Service!!

    Oh, if they actually encrypt the channel as part of this rollout maybe indeed they cannot extend my card. But why in the world they did not just say that? I would still be agitated they messed up in the first place but at least I would have known they weren't jerking my chain. :no Thanks

    Terrible Customer Service!!

    Update Well, I called back to CS since the "Yellow Card" people were so unhelpful. It sounds like they messed up and did not get everyone's cards out so I am likely not the only one, which might explain why they are edgy. Unfortunately the Yellow card jerk sent my card regular post. So I...

    Free satellite for 148 user with 110 locals?

    I have a dish 500 From what I read superdish is larger. OK. I think I understand. They offer the free dish if you already have the locals but can't get one that they have put on another satellite? Not if you simply have service and want them and they are on another satellite?

    I have a dish 500 with twin lnb oriented to 148 It would take a second dish to get 121 as well I believe? on edit: Oh I see what you are saying. I can reorient to 121 and get both. Thanks, I did not realize they were on 121.

    Free satellite for 148 user with 110 locals?

    I see posts about asking Dish for a free satellite for local stations. I use international channels and only one dish so I would need a second for my local channels (portland). Will they supply me a free satellite in this case?
