    Two Question: DP21 Test and Local Shops

    I have two questions. After being without Dish locals for some time now, I'm ready to switch back. I have my old DP21 switches but no longer have the second dish I need for the locals in my area. My first question is about testing the DP21's. They're pretty old and have been sitting in a...

    unexplained power-off

    seems that one of my 301's had decided to start turning itself off at will. i came home yesterday to find it off... so i turned it back on... then woke up this morning and it was off again. i have a replay TV so i keep my 301's on all the time. i'm wondering if my power supply might be going...

    An actual Olympic Coverage Schedule?

    I see the posts regarding what dish chans are going to be covering the Olympics (looks like 105, 129, 209, and 208 - plus local NBC affiliate) as well as the ch147 for the interactive thing. I also am able to find a schedule of the actual competitions themselves off of the torino website...

    Which PVR?

    remember though... the downside of going with dish for ones dvr needs is lack of ability to do certain things. mainly, both the tivo and replaytv allow one to download their shows onto their computer. the replay, unlike the tivo, download is a standard mpg. on the tivo, i believe it's an...

    Possible E* Convert

    with the directivo's... do you get all the features of the stand alone tivo's for that 6 buck fee or are you also expected to pay the standard 12dollar monthly tivo fee?

    Possible E* Convert

    Possible Dish Convert I'm considering the posibility of switching over from Dish and had a few basic questions regarding pricing that I haven't been able to find on the companies website. I'm interested in DirecTivo, and I want 2 units (total... meaning I only want two receivers, but I'd...

    Burning content from my 942 to DVD-R

    i know someone that burns off a replay to a standalone dvd burner all the time. works great for him. i'm sure it's quite simple... like hooking up a vcr i'd imagine.

    DISH Won't do install...

    i disagree with boba. if the neighbor offers proof to dish of the okay (letter or something i guess) then what should dish care (unless, of course, it's not an issue with respect to los but instead something actually prohibited by the complex). if the neighbor moves before contract is up...

    Super nice service rep - but super bad actual service...

    Success!!! well, i got busy this weekend and wasn't able to send that email to the ceo so i just did it this afternoon. it took all of an hour to get a response from whomever it is that is answering emails at that ceo@ address (the individual responding to me was named Matt). i didn't even...

    Super nice service rep - but super bad actual service...

    actually you're the only one doing the flaming... making me out to be this huge idiot... as if i deserved to be screwed out of my discount. but it's all good. i know you're type... regardless of how deceptive the contract or marketing, you refuse to hold anyone but the consumer responsible...

    Super nice service rep - but super bad actual service...

    i likely wont be switching... can't beat the price... but man i guess i should ask about the contract "extension". i HOPE they didn't put me under a contract when i activated the 508. since i wasn't under contract to begin with i'd imagine they'd at least have to tell me i was going to be...

    Super nice service rep - but super bad actual service...

    i didn't have a contract and don't recal any agreement... and E* DID do something wrong. they treated a customer poorly. now... although i KNOW i didn't have a contract (remember... i PURCHASED my equipment outright) doesn't mean there wasn't some sort of offer or rebate agreement. i don't...

    Super nice service rep - but super bad actual service...

    this is the dumbest thing ever... i actually might end up switching just because of it but i'll cool down and decide later. so back in 04 i purchased a box set from radio shack. it had 2 301's and the dish in it. i paid around 200 bucks for it. part of the deal was a 20 month credit on my...

    Did I break my DP21?

    I'm moving and was taking down my sat equipment from the old house last night. When I was unscrewing one of the coax lines to the switch i ended up unscrewing the actuall fitting a bit. It didn't come out all the way... about half way before I realized what was happening. I went ahead and...
