    Help, Quick Please!

    Because of what I feel was a stupid move by Echostar, I have to cancel my service and must go with Cox. I live in Roanoke Va, and subject to their programming/hardware. I basically have no experience or research of them yet, other than having their service 2 years ago for a very short period of...

    Furious with dish, forced to disconnect

    I setup a dishmover (free under dhpp which i have) last week for today. Moving from duplex to 3rd floor apartment. Apartment rules: no holes drilled into balcony or railings. Therefore, would have to go with bucket mount. Installer called this morning and asked some questions and said no, we...

    Set to call dish tonight about dishmover, do i want dish 1000?

    I am going to call E* tonight to setup a dishmover. I signed for DHPP online already to get it free. I live in Roanoke, so I understand I should be able to get my 2 must carrys (WB and UPN) with the dish1000 and roanoke Va is one of the eligible DMA's. Now, when I worked as a CSR when we first...

    what angle does signal come in from sky to the dish?

    I am going to be adding dhpp soon (to get the free dishmover) to see if I can get signal in the new apartment. It will be third story, has balcony that has a roof, and railings come up about 3.5-5 feet (guess). There are trees (pine that won't lose their needles) about 20 feet straight out from...

    just talked to apt. complex, said no private sat dishes allowed?

    They said they have their own satellite dishes and only provide that service, only 52 channels, the local cable companies will not wire the complex. Can they do that? (not allow private satellite dishes? I thought federal law prevented them from doing that. Could it possibly be a provision of...

    Is now the time to switch to D* and the HD Tivo?

    Current E* sub, ready to move into a new apartment within next 60 days. Assuming clear LOS, I'd like to switch b/c sports advantage of D*. I've heard posts of people upgrading to the HD Tivo directly from D* for low prices, and was guranteed they would be replaced after/for transition to Mpeg4...

    Ch 139 TBS

    Just noticed the change, effective Aug. 10. Was hoping they were keeping 139 open for ESPNu or CSTV, oh well.

    anyone who's switched recently, what did you like/dislike?

    I am getting ready to quite dish and say goodbye to monthly employee credits. I'd probaby keep the service if i could get sunday ticket and espnu and cstv, but apparently charlie thinks its too small of a niche. The only local D* dealers in my area are best buy/circuit city and one other...

    Dish cust may switch, but has ?s

    I am a current E* sub, and employee but will be resigning soon, which means I'll lose my $31.99 monthly "free programming credit", so I'll probably switch to D*. I have some questions though before switching. I qualify for Roanoke VA locals, I believe I need a 'triple lnb' dish? Something...
