I rec the email from Dish in mid April, scheduled an install on 4/23, the antenna works well for my locals (Houston DMA), I"m about 35 miles from the tower array, relatively flat ground near the Texas Gulf Coast. I was skeptical, the antenna is small (I didn't write the model # down) compared...

I bought the bundle package for $1000, included a 921 HD dvr + the 34" crt hi def monitor (didn't have a tuner in the tv), at the time it was the least expensive deal for an hd tv & dvr and the pic quality was decent for what hd was available at the time. I know the Dish guys that delivered it...

I ordered one yesterday from the Dish website ($30 + sales tax shipped), this item had been out of stock since my hopper install on 1/10, this is about $10 cheaper than ordering elsewhere (ebay, amazon, etc.)

I noticed this in the guide last nite starting around 11:35 local time, (I'm in the Houston area), the locals (except channel 20) were showing "off air" for a 2 hour block. Of course I was curious so I clicked on channel 13 (yeah, it's like I need to see if the paint was really wet!), I got an...

I guess this will be coming "soon"..... yeah, I had noticed that on the horizon but I can live with the current model, it will serve my needs.

I'm switching from Direct back to Dish, Hopper install scheduled for 1/10. My contract with Direct is up on the 13th of this month and I wanted to accomplish two things: reduce my monthly bill and have more tuners than the hr24 so I can stop using my Dish Pal DTV DVR and have all recordings on...

I wouldn't cancel with only 2 months left (well, that's because I'm cheap and to me it doesn't make sense to pay $xx times the remaining months on the contract), just use the remaining time to figger out who has the best deal for your viewing habits. I'm thinking about looking at Dish in mid...

Here's what I would do, I would price out what package you want with Direct, see what the total cost for 24 months would be (length of the contract) and see what the average cost per month is. Then I would contact Dish retention and see what they would do for you, compare the two average costs...

That's the story of my life, a day late and a dollar short.......but enough about me! I don't understand why a business does not take care of it's top tier customers, with what it costs to acquire a new customer and the freebies/incentives they offer. Any service provider is gonna have churn...

Glad it worked out for ya. You should probably xxxx out your acct number in the email though.

The tax rate should be (in Texas) .0625, which is the state rate, according to page 11 of this brochure from Carole Rylanders office http://www.window.state.tx.us/taxinfo/taxpubs/tx94_105.pdf pursuant to the Federal Communications Act of 1996. Any taxes other than state imposed would (or...

I was billed on 6/14 (Direct) and no surcharge was on my bill, just sales tax as usual.

I have an hr24 and if you press the "play" button while viewing a recorded program it shows how much time is left on the progress bar at the bottom of the screen.

I don't know where this myth started that a consumer has a 3 day grace period on _____________ (fill in the blank with whatever company name you choose) contracts you sign up for, while there are consumer safeguards that vary somewhat from state to state, my understanding is the 3 day right to...

Punctuation, I don't need no stinkin' punctuation!:D (Thanks for the reminder to the punctuation-less poster; I can only imagine my grade school English teachers turning over in the grave from what they'd see today)

I'm not sure why having to cancel ST is such a big deal, you've got a long time frame to cancel it before the next season starts and what's the difference between that and having to cancel any of the free premium promos you get when you sign up? (Of course you do hafta remember to cancel any...

I'm glad Direct contacted your BEFORE the Dish installation was done, offered you an acceptable deal and kept you as a customer. I figger they've made enough off you over 10 years that they recouped their original investment many time over and now you get a loyal customer rebate. Good for you...

I've noticed the skip not working only on commercials for local ads, the other thing that is more annoying is the sound level on these local ads is about 25% higher than the program that is playing. I noticed this happening several months ago.

Rlanham, IMO that's not right about their screw up and dinging you for the extra $86 on your cc autopay. Here's my take: OK Direct, I understand it's a mistake but you should either be able to: a) issue a credit to my card immediately (I don't care if "your system" isn't set up to do this...

I think if you have Choice Xtra or Choice Ultimate you qualify for the free hd (I have Choice Xtra and get free hd)

Uh, what's a "hand off god", not familiar with that terminology.

Do you notice any improvement in the hr24 after a reboot? It's much more responsive, at least until the dvr starts getting full again.

I've noticed my hr24-500 gets noticeably slower after around 60% full. A red button reset (front panel) helps, I do that about every two weeks. (I figure it's too many recorded soaps that slow it down, but I ain't gonna tell the wife that.....) I was also having a slow & sometimes...

I don't guess we'll see "10 things I hate about Swanni's predictions"? I noticed on his site that he touts "over 10,000 subscribers to his daily emails", so that would average getting 1000 subscribers a year, for the 10 years he's been online, what's wrong with that picture.......

Jimbo & Iceberg: thanks for the tip on advancing/rewinding one frame at a time & how to get rid of the progress bar. Good news: after a month, wife has "accepted" the HR24 & Direct remote, she's gotten used to it. Bad news: now she won't use the Dish/Echostar 5.3 IR remote for the DishPal...
