I switched from Dish about a month and a half ago so I wouldn't have to watch the Red Sox in SD anymore. Opening Day, and I get a blank screen and a "771 Searching for signal" error. Call DTV and am told this is a known issue from an equipment failure, I'll be back up soon? That's just...

I did a search and read the recent thread on this topic, but I find myself confused. Maybe I'm an idiot. I had Dish Network for 5 years, recently switched to Directv. I did NOT have any protection plan on Dish. Twice in the 5 years I had to have service calls for bad equipment (one switch...

But while we're talking about this, what on earth does Dish do with the old LNBs?

I called today, said I couldn't get them, and they said "forgettabouta". Thanks all for your input. I will say I didn't expect this thread to become as active as it did!

I do have the operator ID (although not name) and notes from the call. No recording. There were 2 dishes...a Dish 500 and a Dish 300. These are so damn old I can't believe they have any value. Thanks for the reply.

Am I screwed? The story: I switched to D* last week. I had no particular beef with Dish, except that I am a Red Sox fan and their station (NESN) is not available on Dish in HD -- and it wasn't looking like it was going to be added anytime soon. Meanwhile, Directv has been running some...

0x193, Downloaded 2/6...I must not have the release yet. Thanks!

I just did this on mine and no change. It's a HR21-700. Any advice on what I did wrong? I chose search -- keyword search. Typed in 30SKIP. The it asked me to choose a channel category..I left it on ALL and searched. No programs found (of course). Then I exited, figured I'd be all set...

My re-order from Friday looks much better, although there is no line for the 1 year free Showtime (the rep verbally told me at time of order that I was getting it). Should I call back a third time, or you think it is in there?

Just off the horn with customer service, then sales again. They did have to cancel the order, he didn't have the DVR on it! Fool. I don't know if he got all the discounts (I doubt it) but the new rep I got this time was most helpful and I could tell she made sure everything was OK. My...

Of course it couldn't be easy, my order looks to be FUBAR... I asked for Premier package, 1 HD DVR and 1 SD receiver. AAA discount, 10/off for 12 months, $50 referral, free Showtime for a year. Here's the order summary as it stands now... Item Quantity Amount PREMIER P000002244000000001...

I can hardly believe how good this deal is. I just called and ordered (switching from E*). I'll save 40 bucks a month AND get NESN-HD to watch the Sox! Rock on.

Got this message from NESN yesterday... Thank you for your recent email regarding NESN HD on Dish Network. NESN has talked to Dish Network about carrying NESN’s HD programming. Dish Network has made a decision not to carry NESN HD at this time. Thanks for watching NESN...

Makes perfect sense, thank you!

Ok, thanks. Now a follow up. This is probably a dumb question, but I can't find the answer by searching...:confused: Whereas I'm only going to watch one channel, my assumption would be that I only need to receive the signal from one satellite. If this is so, why wouldn't a single LNB...

I'm not certain, but I think it is MPEG4.

Probably would, but I'm thinking installing a new dish will be easier than digging a 100+ foot long trench to run a line!

Hi all, I spend a good deal of summer time in my garage, which is about 100 feet from my house. I'm toying with the idea of setting up a TV out there so I can catch Red Sox games this summer. A little plasma or LCD hi-def guy...I figure if I'm going to do it then I should do it right...

I'll happily change my clocks to get more daylight in the evening versus early AM.

I didn't even catch that...pretty funny stuff.

See attachment for email I just received. How can they get away with this kind of totally false statement? The best part is...they don't even OFFER HD in my area. None. Can't get it. I will be watching the game in HD, thanks Dish!

You guys rock, thanks for the input.

Thank you, sir, that answers my question about the base package, any Total Choice! Would it be correct to assume that the HD package is required in order to receive this in HD? (I don't see that answer anywhere).

D* Website I should have been more clear...I DID check out the website, but I cannot decipher what packages would include NESN-HD. :confused: For example, the HD package add-on lists 7 national HD channels, but doesn't say if this is required to get NESN in HD. Is it? I don't need the...

Hi all, Dish Network subscriber here. Am becoming fed up with their lack of urgency in bringing us the RSNs in HD...in my case, NESN-HD. From the scuttlebutt I'm hearing, definitely not a definite that it will be in place for this year's baseball season. And I'm not going another season...
