    German Language Package to launch Thursday

    I know, we have subscribed since before it was on Dish (GlobeSat). They said they would take 5 minutes to add DW-TV back on and that was 2 hours ago so I assumed I'm screwed also. I'm glad they added another channel to the package but $8 a month is too much. There just isn't that much...

    German Language Package to launch Thursday

    Dish tried to take away one of our channels while still charging us the old package price (apparently you have to fight to be 'grandfathered'). I had to talk to several people before they would reinstate my old package. We'll see if they actually do. Is anyone else having this problem?

    EuroNews

    Thanks. I must've limited my search to the last 6 months so I guess I didn't pick that up. Sorry about that.

    EuroNews

    Euronews is supposed to be broadcast in several languages. Dish's site lists several channels but they are all in English. I subscribe to the "grandfathered" German Language Pack. Anyone know how I get the German broadcast of this channel? I don't think it's an equipment issue I have a Dish...

    Absolute Horror Story - Dish Customer Service

    I was amazed to read your story because I had the exact same experience last week. I went through the whole ordering process, they took my CC #, and set up an installation date (upgrade to HD). After the installer didn't show up I called and they had absolutely no record of anything. I asked...

    New IPTV - Foreign Television Service!

    There was a post on another thread that claimed the programming could not be recorded (DRM) and that the time difference made it hard to watch anything. Can anyone confirm or deny?

    Anyone have experience?

    That sucks. You might want to try this. It's the Sima CT-2 video signal processor, I got one on Amazon for about $65. It allows me to backup protected contect, I imagine it works with broadcast as well. There may be a newer model out now...

    International Services Moving to 118.7 Orbital Slot - DELAYED

    Don't get a superdish! The LNBFs are crap. They are effected by heat, DW-TV is gone completly and ProSeiben only works at night for me. Dish won't admit it's defective and will charge me to come out since I got the great free Globecast to Dish 'upgrade'. I've been waiting for the Intls to...

    Is there a way to get all German channels?

    Does anyone have any experience with either service? It looks like iptvanywhere.tv is operational but there is very little information on their site.

    Dish 500+ /1000 Instalation Manuals and Product Info

    Internationals Does the delay in moving the internationals to 118.7 effect the equipment you get? Can I request a + dish with my HD upgrade even though the German channels I subscribe to are still on 121?

    International Services Moving to 118.7 Orbital Slot - DELAYED

    I hope They actually took away a channel 'GermanTV'. Merkel cut the funding as soon as she took over. They substituted it with the pathetic DW-TV which is only news and only half in German. It used to be available online for free. The delay hurts, I want to upgrade to HD but I want to shed...

    The Phantom Channel

    I found this on another site: "Dish says there is in fact a problem with some of it's SuperDish 105 LNB's and it is heat related. The Lot number of these defective LNB's are P310, P311, & P312 (instal dates late 2004 and early 2005). The Lot # can be found by removing the top shroud cover and...

    The Phantom Channel

    That sounds logical as it is getting pretty hot up there already on my black flat roof in Austin, Texas. It did go through all of last summer though and no other channels are affected. Is there a way to test this? I suppose any warrenty I had is gone. I was orginally getting this service...

    The Phantom Channel

    One of my German language channels (ch 721 satellite 121 transponder 4) has all of a sudden started going off and on. Seems like every morning and evening it works but during the afternoon I get Error 002 and no signal. I've gone round and round with Tech Support and they are blaming my...

    HD and International Programming?

    Thanks, that sounds like the way to go except the person at Dish told me I'm not eligible for the $49 lease upgrade because I'm an existing customer. Should I try again and hope for someone more knowledgable?

    HD and International Programming?

    I have a question which I thought would be easy to determine but I have not had the best of luck talking to Dish. I have an old 311 box and a Super Dish which has served me well and has provided my wife with 2 channels of programming in her native language of German. I would like to upgrade to...
