    Recordings being cut off

    I have the original Hopper with the external Sling adapter, and 2 joeys. I'm in the Philly market and use PTAT for all 7 days, and have done so since day 1 of my hopper. For the past several months I've been noticing more and more of my shows seem to have the recordings messed up. At first I...

    Is HIC free of charge during install?

    I had a hopper and 2 joeys installed today (upgrade from a single 622). The installer did not have a HIC with him. In fact, he didn't know what it was. Didn't instill the most confidence with me! He was confusing Sling, HIC, and the Powerline adapters. He was going to install a wireless...

    Should I use DISH to move? (a real move)

    So, I am moving from the Johnstown/Altoona DMA (110/119/129) to the Philly market (?/?/?). Should I have Dish move me, or simply move my dishes myself? I currently have 2 dishes, one for 110/119, and one for 129. The buyers of my house want me to take down the dishes, so I have to move them...

    More MLB Blackouts, STO in PA, Johstown/Altoona

    I believe Dish has a few missing zip codes in the eligibility to recieve non-blacked out Indians games in my zip code. I can't seem to figure out how to prove or disprove this, however. My zip code, 15801 is listed on the www.mlb.tv page as not being able to watch live Indians games over...

    ugh... Customer Service, any suggestions?

    I moved into an apartment while my new home is under construction. I am unable to have Dish, so I simply want to place my account on hold. I called Monday, and the CSR was unable to do it, even after spending 40 minutes on the phone with her, when she kept saying 'One Moment Sir, while I...

    Locals PQ (Johnstown/Altoona)

    Some of our local channels (Johnstown/Altoona) have some annoying problems. For once, it does not seem to be compression related, so the bright side is that Dish could potentially do something about it. It appears that Dish gets our Fox and ABC affiliates via an OTA antenna before it goes to...

    Extended Warranty / Used Receiver

    I have the $1.99 extended warranty on my account since January of this year. If I purchase a used receiver on Ebay, will it be covered? What if I get the receiver and it is DOA, or is missing the smart card? (The seller is a large liquidation place that does a lot of volume and doesn't...
