    DISH dropped CBS from my service!

    DISH dropped my local (Reno, NV) CBS station. Station claims that they agreed to let DISH carry them for the same rate they did in last contract, but I guess DISH wants a price cut. DISH claims the station is greedy and wants double the cost. Station has a written offer to keep current plan...

    Direct will pay my cancellation fee if I quit DISH!

    That's what the mailer said- three free months of Starz/Showtime, some other discount which I forgot and they'll pay the cancellation penalty, up to $200. Send in the invoice and they will give a visa debit card equal to the penalty for leaving Dish early. Could be good for me as I think my free...

    Is the 722k really this bad?

    We just got this box and it will not let us watch something live while recording something! Is this fixable? Even out 1st gen SD DISH pvr from 2001 let us do this, but this p.o.s box will not! It is like recording with a VCR! The tech person said that we can watch something live if something...

    Time to re-sign up: what is the best deal i can get?

    Last time I renewed, they gave me one year of free HBO, Showtime and free HDTV for the year as well. What do they offer now? Also, I I have no interest in sports. I have an old TIVo HD DVR in the bedroom- will they give me a free HD DVR to replace that?

    Direct wants to replace my HV 20 with an HV 21!

    What can I do? My HV 20 is having audio problems an they say it needs to be swapped out. They said that the HV21 doesn't have a tuner, but I can get one for $50. Well, heck, why should I have to pay for a tuner when my old one had one? Is there anyway I can get them to pay for the tuner? In case...

    How's the PQ on HD distant networks?

    I would like to et them, but I don't want to carry on the fight if they look like crud. Lately, Discovery HD has been looking pretty bad- do the HD networks look better?

    "Moving" questions

    I want to "move" so that I can HDTV networks that I have been denied waivers. I read about people doing this but... 1) If I "move", will my bill be sent to the address that I say I am moving to? How do people pay their bills? 2) Will the every other day telephone call tip off Direct? 3) Do I...

    DISH gave me the hard sell not to cancel

    I was with Direct since day one back in '94. I went to DIsh in 2001 because Direct took away my locals, but DISH still offered them. I have been using a 501 for the longest time and it has been pretty buggy., but I wanted HD PVR. The 921 souned like another nightmare, the tivo too pricey. But...
