I think this could be a good thing. Streaming services seem like they're dramatically on the rise and is probably what the future has in store. Traditional television services like cable and satellite are probably in their golden years. Folks here are commenting that the merger reduces choice...

Are other folks still seeing this? I'm not entirely sure it's actually a bug. It seems to me that if I'm watching a show then anything my DVR is recording at that time is marked as being viewed. Maybe it's just not smart enough to keep track of which tuner I'm using? I'm definitely not seeing...

I guess I'm asking for some education on Google Ads, but how does this happen? How is it that Fox can effectively eliminate competing advertising on your website? It sounds more like it's Google doing the wrong thing here rather than Fox.

I think the only thing you risk is them putting a credit on your account. This will result in you being unable to get billing statements until the credit runs out which will mean you'll have no way to track what they are charging you for or giving you any promotions you've earned. I got them...

So I called and got transferred to a supervisor who couldn't help me and so I got transferred to the ERT and he said he couldn't help me right away either and would have to get help from some other people (how screwed do you have to be if the ERT can't fix the problem) and get back to me. I...

For any of you guys who are on an annual package are you still getting any HD or were all your HD channels turned off like mine (I still get Cinemax and locals in HD)?

I am under a 2 year commitment, leasing my receiver and have an annual package, although I've been an annual for so long I may just have been grandfathered in. I don't know if once you leave it you can go back. The CSR I talked to said I could talk to an ERT. Does anyone know what that is...

And the thing that sucks about switching from annual to monthly would be that they'd put a credit on my account for next 10 months and when there's a credit on your account, they don't generate a statement for that month. This means that I will be unable to ever see any of the charges or...

I started another thread because my HD channels disappeared this past weekend. I just got off a chat with a CSR who also told me that the Platinum HD package is not compatible with annual subscriptions and I can't have them back without switching to monthly billing. They won't even let me...

Actually, I was using the online chat. :( Never had a wait before.

Grrr, that got him to admit that it was a glitch in there system and that it could take them a couple of days to fix it. It might have something to do with the fact that I have an annual subscription. He said that HD for Life isn't offered with that, however the website says that it is...

The guy had me do a bunch of things, including pulling the plug and eventually told me he'd have to have a tech come out. Then I asked if he was sure it wasn't an error in my programming and I mentioned the whole HD for Life thing and now he's researching again...

All of my non-premium HD channels have disappeared. They only show up in the high 9000+ channels and all in red. Has anyone else had this happen? So much for Free HD for Life ;-) I'm waiting to chat with a CSR and I've gone from 27 to 17 in the queue in 20 minutes waiting.

It would be interesting to hook up an external hard drive and get the file sizes/bitrates for the two versions.

I have had dish tell me it doesn't recognize my drives on more than a couple of occasions but usually unplugging and plugging the drive back in fixes it. If you haven't already, you should try that as well as rebooting the DVR. If that still doesn't work and you feel up to it, you can try to...

I have had this happen to me twice and the only way I found to fix it was to copy everything off the drive and on to a second drive and then reformat the first drive :mad:. One thing is that you could use this to create multiple copies of shows which is otherwise difficult to do.

I got the letter too and setup the appointment over chat (no magic numbers needed). I don't know if anyone else got this, but I think Dish is trying to use this as an opportunity to push people to subscribing to HBO and Showtime. I was asked three times: (03mk) Joyce M.T8D: If I may...

Does Dish really make money off of hardware upgrades? I really don't have much of an idea but as far as I know, the boxes are pretty expensive to make and dish generally only charges a "relatively low" monthly fee for them. Would handing out 922s (even for a one time fee) really bring Dish...

Are you saying that they dynamically re-encode the video based on the currently running programming? Is that something they do in real (or near real) time? That would surprise me although I guess H264 encoding is getting faster. Or do they just prepare their encoding ahead of time based on...

I had a chat with a CSR last night and he said that the $9 leased receiver fee on my bill was a mistake and the adjustments were to fix that mistake. Let's hope they keeping fixing this "mistake" ;-). Do you remember agreeing to let them increase the lease fee on you?

For those of you getting the $15 upgrade, are you having to sign up for the Dish Service Plan first? If so, did you do that in the same chat session/phone call as getting the $15 charge or did you do it beforehand? And also if so, doesn't that add $6 to get the upgrade, plus however many...

I'm going to give this one more bump to see if anyone has been able to successfully subscribe (new) to one of these annual packages. I think mine comes up for renewal next month and I guess I'll see if I keep getting the discount.

I signed up for this promotion about 6 months ago and promptly got some very bizarre adjustments on my bill. In the first month I got -$30 for 2x-$5 "Locals Adjustment" and 2x-$10 "HD and Platinum Adjustment" and then on my second month got some adjustments that weren't even whole numbers (and...

I have the 250 package but I pay for it on an annual basis and thus it doesn't show up on my bill and I pay for the locals separately. I know when I originally got my 622 that I agreed to pay a monthly lease fee but I don't remember agreeing to let them raise it and it sounds like they...

I don't think that's what I'm seeing. For one, I don't have that message in my 2010 update on the website as noted by Scott. However that message has me entirely confused. My understanding was that the promotion was that the fee was waived if you hooked up a phone line but that fee is now...
