    Bill credit. Really?

    I got the normal 3-mo free Showtime promo when I signed up last May, and had no intentions of keeping it. Went to cancel it a couple of weeks early, and the service rep said I would be getting a few dollars credit on my bill for the remaining portion I did not use. Huh? Does this sound right? If...

    Switch to RF remote link on HR25/100

    Hello. I have a H25/100 receiver & RC65RX remote, which is currently set for IR mode, by default (I guess). How would I go about switching the mode from IR to RF? Do I need an antenna, and if so, where would I plug it into on the receiver. I see no remote-antenna inputs on the receiver. I'm...

    Cancelling showtime promo

    Hello, I just signed up online for the Entertainment package, which comes with Showtime free for 3 months. I have no intention of keeping it after the 3 months. The question is, can I cancel it (within the 3 months) online through my online account, or do I have to make a phone call and go...

    Tru TV Online

    I was thinking of starting a subscription to Dish's America's Top 120. I noticed that it does not include Tru Tv. My question is, would I be able to use my Dish subscription credentials to log in to Tru Tv online to watch streaming episodes (even though my subscription does not include Tru Tv).

    Receiver for OTA HD only

    I cant find the list of DTV receivers which can receive HD OTA without a DirecTV subscription. The old list I looked at a while back is a dead link now. I was going to get a cheap one off of ebay. Does the H10 do this if it has the card in it?

    OTA only question.

    Hello, I was thinking of picking up an H20 or DST3000 receiver cheap on eBay to use for OTA only. Will this work, or do you have to activate the receiver through DirecTV just to use the OTA part. I do not care about any Guide info or anything, I just want to receive OTA HD/Digital (ATSC)...

    Cable PQ vs Dish PQ

    I'm thinking of switching from basic analog cable service to Dish Network. I'm a little confused about the Picture Quality of Dish Network. I'm talking only about SD picture, not HD. The promos for Dish always claim "Pure Digital picture quality", but yet I read posts from others who say a...

    Discount for no locals?

    DirectTV charges you less per month if you dont have locals, but what about Dish Network? I get my locals OTA, and dont need them with Dish. Would I get a discount if I signed up with Dish Network?

    sports channels on AT120 package

    I'm considering signing up for the AT120 programming package. I realize I would only get 1 of the Fox Sports nets (actually the chart said 2) due to the territorial stuff, but what about some of the other sports channels, like MSG, Altitude, College Sports Television, Sports Alternate 1-4...

    Hidden fees?

    Are there any hidden fees on a DishTV monthly bill, other than local sales tax? Any FCC or Franchise fees or junk like that? If I sign up for a promotion that gives me free lease on the equip, and I keep my receiver hooked up to my phone line, are there any other charges to be aware of?

    Are rates really frozen?

    I'm thinking of siging on with DishTV for an 18-month commitment, with the AT120 package, at 42.99 per month. There is some fine print saying that rates may go up at any time. Does that mean that they can rase the rate higher than 42.99 per month, during the 18 months? If so, what good is...

    Please Help. DishTV Questions!

    Hello, I've been a long-time cable TV user, and recently got a new large HDTV digital television set with built-in HD Receiver. It really shows off how poor the picture quality is on basic analog cable. I was thinking of getting Dish TV with the 322 receiver, and have a 2nd TV in the...
