    HD add-on missing from Dish America Package?

    I am thinking about re-configuring my current package of America's top 200 to Dish America Package and adding in HBO premium. When I look at my profile page online, the HD addon is checked on all packages except Dish America. I was wondering what that HD addon actually is and if I am missing...

    Moving a Dish to a new Pole

    Thanks for the info...Just got back from Lowes and sure enough, when I asked for a chain link post, they had what I was looking for. Can't ask the for a 1 and 5/8 in diameter metal pole, because they don't have it. But ask for a 1 and 5/8 in diameter "Chain Link Fence Post", they sure know where...

    Moving a Dish to a new Pole

    Live in a condo and I want to redo my dish antenna install to clean the look up on the balcony. Don't worry, this is because I want to, not because the condo association is asking me to do. My question is what diameter pole do I need to get to put the dish on. I have the 1000+ so I can pick...

    Charlotte NC HD Dish Upgrade

    Does anyone have information on how to go about getting a Dish 1000 upgraded to a Dish 1000+ and the costs (hopefully nothing) so that I can be able to recieve the upcoming HD Locals in Charlotte, NC? I called customer service and they had no information (as I expected).

    WE DID IT! Distant Networks May Be Saved By Senate!

    Now this statement you made is silly. Think about what you just stated. If a DVD is available for sale (legally) in a store located 500 miles away from where I live, you are implying that I have no right to purchase it because I do not live there. My point, simply, is that once content has...

    WE DID IT! Distant Networks May Be Saved By Senate!

    I would think that CBS, or any national network for this matter, wouldn't object to where a consumer picked up their content. ratings is what it's all about. Ok...if they don't own it, then there is no copyright issue with the local station then... To me, it is simple...or basic as you...

    WE DID IT! Distant Networks May Be Saved By Senate!

    It's about choice and the freedom to choose! If I live in one city, but would like to view programming from accross the country, I should have the right to do it because the technology is here to do it. By not letting me choose, I feel it is now a restraint of trade or monopolistic behavior...

    Dishmover & New Condo coming Q

    I will be closing on a new condo in Dec. As expected, condo rules forbid penetrations into the building. I do have a southwest exposure from my balcony so I do not expect a LOS problem. Here are my questions: 1) I read some postings about a "flat" cable option to go through a window or door...

    Dish Install - Beware of unwritten Promises

    Location: Charlotte, NC I placed my upgrade order for the VIP 622 on Feb 1st after several attempts and CSR's. At first, they said I did not need the dish 1000, I kept asking how would I receive the additional HD programming without?. Well, after the third call in, it appears that my account...

    OTA Antenna Available?

    I called Dish to upgrade 811 to VIP622. Called in 3 times each time asking for the $50 OTA antenna since my locals in HD are not currently being carried. All three times the response back was that I could order through a local retailer and that the price was up to them. Has anyone else tried to...
