    CA Sales Tax just added? Anyone else?

    HDRoberts - I can understand that tax is due on a leased set of equipment (that's normal practice)... my point is that I OWN my equipment - there is no lease ... ergo.. no tax due. Update - I just got off the phone with a "tax opinion expert" @ the CA Board of Equalization. He said that...

    CA Sales Tax just added? Anyone else?

    stevegd007 - I wondered that too... and spent some time checking the Board of Equalization website... I can find NO reference to taxation of DBS services, nor any State Bill adding tax either. Do you have a link, or was that just a hunch? The timing does make sense though as this would be...

    CA Sales Tax just added? Anyone else?

    I've been a Dish Customer for about 9 years now, and on this months bill I notice (for the first time ever!) that there a $0.36 State/Local tax charge. Looking further there's a statement on the details section of the bill that states (edited for clarity): "A taxable equipment rental fee...

    Highly inappropriate material on a kids channel

    I don't think the FCC has any control over the ratings (the networks rate their own programming - sporadically!) I think the FCC mandates a rating system, but has no teeth to "define" what a particular thematic rating content should be... again it's down to the networks.

    Possible workaround to * key display format bug on 921

    Posted to the "other" forum in the bug reporting thread, but hought it would be useful here too. I'm experiencing the stretched 4:3 display problem like others, but only saw reboots being suggested to fix the unresponsive * key. I've found that after you change to a 4:3 channel and its...

    Highly inappropriate material on a kids channel

    Bringing this topic back to track (ratings and appropriate things at appropriate times...) I complained to Dish and Cartoon Network some time back about why they didn't add ratings (ya know the Vchip thingamy) to the signal for stuff like "Adult Swim" Clearly it's targeted at Adults, yet...

    811 Lost 1080i On DVI

    Just to clarify something... Component outputs (ie. the red geen & blue RCA connectors) do NOT have any form of "copy" protection on them at all. (Other than being near impossible to convert from analog to digitial form using mucho expensive A/D converters). The DVI port DOES have copy...

    high def. question

    Freddy, I live in SoCal too... and my suggestion is get the second dish... Who know's what Dish will do in the coming months/years/days??? They could add more or move channels to 148 and if you don't have the dish up, you'll miss out... Also, with "three" dishes up you'll need a bigger...

    New 811 UHF remote and batteries

    The UHF control allows you to place the unit behind a closed (opaque!) door in a cabinet and still be able to control the receiver _ smart huh? No IR (infra red) needed! Also, I've seen a thread somewhere that if you're having reception problems then installing the little barrel attenuator...

    Dish Network HD811 receiver picture jump

    couple of questions to try and help. 1) is the HD content you are watching via the HDpack (HDNET DiscHD etc via DISH) or local OTA (via your antenna NOT the dish)? 1a) If, via the HDpack, then do you have trees in the way of your LOS (line of site) i.e. if you look from the dish to...

    6 Month Free HD from Dish DELAYED

    Oh Geez!!!! NNNNOOOO!!!!! :eek: If your are fluent in the Germanic programming style and aren't a logic based lifeform, then SAP might be good for you.... SAP = euphamism for Stop All Processes..... :( It's painful beyond belief. Good for Production people to use, but as a customer...

    811 and current customer

    The link on your account page just takes you to the details of the receivers... there's big text that says CALL FOR INFORMATION.... then ask about the "dishin it up promo" Then I think it's $5 a month (there may be a commitment period). Ask them, then post back?

    looks like my 811 is going to sh*t

    1 yr And I too have noticed a lot more "pixelation" of images of late.... almost like the processor internally can't keep up. Can't say I've got the problems you're seeing (never had a lockup or anything major like that). Any else noticed this?
