    Does Dish not cave in to cancellation requests any more?

    i have been a 15 year customer of dish and have always had at least a $40 credit on my account, most of the time more. I currently have a $40 credit and had another $6 credit just expire. I called and threatened to cancel and instead of caving in like they have in the past they basically said...

    Just excuses. DirecTV doesn't seems to have this problem.

    Is DISH EVER going to get Root Sports???

    It's not like Houston is some little po-dunk town in the middle of nowhere. IT IS THE 4TH LARGEST CITY IN AMERICA, and about to overtake Chicago for #3. It appears Dish does not care to retain customers in this fast growing region.

    Western Arc Signal Strengths?

    ok thanks. is it normal to have a difference of 30 on different transponders on the same satellite? I wouldn't care if espn hd (119x7) wasn't my lowest signal strength on all 3 satellites.

    Western Arc Signal Strengths?

    why is espn hd on the weakest transponder on satellite 119? at least at my zip, 77316 I only get signal strength ranging from 32-34 on 119 tp7. the rest of the transponders are around 40-50 and some around 60. you'd thing dish would put such a popular channel on a stronger transponder. I'm...

    Cheapest way to get HD on TV2

I remember if you didn't have it plugged in to the telephone cord they'd charge you $5 extra per month. the dsl installer said don't worry they don't...

    Cheapest way to get HD on TV2

    question about the vip612. if I bought it myself (around $120 on ebay) could I avoid the $10 per month fee? is it hard to setup yourself? I see the vip612 has a 320gb hard drive. so I could record on it and it could be shared on either tv? could I watch shows already on my vip722 in hd in...

    Cheapest way to get HD on TV2

    thanks for all the replies.....sounds like a pita. is it not possible to make a dual tuner dvr that outputs hd in 2 rooms? I guess i'll just stick with what I've got IF they keep giving me big discounts every year. if not I might just put up an antenna and stream.

    Cheapest way to get HD on TV2

    so if I went with the 211 option, I would still keep the vip 722 in the living room? could we still watch dvr recordings in the bedroom, or would we need the additional $40 external hard drive option? I would have to go buy an external hard drive I guess? wish they just made a dual dvr that...

    yea, that's all good if nothing goes wrong with the receiver in the next 2 years. leasing also has the built in warranty factor.

    NFL Network HD Live Action quality is poor

    it looked pretty good on my panasonic dlp. the best part was when my buddy called me all pissed off that he didn't even have that channel as an option. he also has to pay extra for espnhd and STILL doesn't have espn2hd. he has time warner cable. haha
