    Is HD Theatre Going Bye Buh?

    So does anyone know if this new channel that will be replacing HD theater will be mirrored on the "Test" channel? :what

    Locals opt-out?

    When I was forced to change from the Absolute package, I went to the Welcome package. I did not have to get the locals at that time-and I would not want them either. I get them, including the subcarrier channels (2-1, 2-2, 2-3, etc) with the channel data FTA :). I told DISH at the time that...

    So what do you think?

    Its' great that they are on board and appear to be very helpful. They helped me with my transition from Absolute to the Welcome package. :)

    DISH programming web page confusion question

    I have a question regarding programming that is stated on their web pages. When I go to DISH's home page, then click on the "learn more" tab under the DISH AMERICA package for $24.99-the green tab, the next screen lists the channels available through this package. Amoung these channels listed...

    Lost absolute now I have to pay to send their equipment back.

    Just a point of order! Several people have stated; "Read the contract that you signed, it says that you will be charged to return equipment..." blah, blah blah! I decided to look up and find my contract that I received many years ago. When I signed up with DISH many years ago-they gave...

    Welcome Pack

    I posted in the Absolute thread my changes but thought this applies here; I now have the Welcome package without locals-$9.99; the Starz Package-free for 1 year, then I'll add it for $13.00; Encore package-$5.00; and the Cinamax package-free for one month, then it will go away. I pay...

    Losing HD Absolute. Any suggestions?

    Your right about this for the channels but with what I have now-granted the significant reduction in HD channels, I will still be paying about $30.00 less each month for the channels that we mostly watch. I figured since they decided to stick it to us Absolute people, why should I give DISH...

    Losing HD Absolute. Any suggestions?

    Well I have to say Kudos to you guys for clueing me in on the Starz promo :). Actually the DISH people that I spoke with were very nice about changing things for me. As I mentioned earlier on this thread, I went from the Absolute package, PI's and RFDTV to the Welcome...

    Losing HD Absolute. Any suggestions?

    Well I waited for as long as I thought would be ok. I was not willing to see what DISH was going to switch me to. :( I now have the Welcome pachage without locals-my locals FTA are great, I added Starz and Encore so the $9.99+$13.00+$5.00 come to $27.99. I know I get a lot less of HD chanels...

    DISH -VS- VOOM - A Settlement has been reached!

    Simply put; DISH can not put up anything to replace VOOM, because there is nothing available out there to equal what VOOM had to offer-even with the many repeats! So Sad:(

    Chrismas Music Coming Monday November 1st.

    Ya, and it's nice to be able to listen to the "traditional type" of Christmas music also. YAY no "Santa Baby" or "Rock around the Christmas Tree" for me. :)

    Dish Radio

    They probably would not do it. BUT, since you obviously do have an internet connection, just a suggestion, if you can not receive this in your local area, look for a feed via the internet. :music:

    Dish online false advertisement

    This may get into some contract issues. If it states that the movie is free and a consumer in good faith orders the movie based on this statement from Dish, for them to then charge the consumer for the movie, at least in my humble opinion is FRAUD. Simply put, if they say it's free, it is...

    HD absolute access charge?

    I was speaking with and accout rep yesterday afternoon reviewing my bill. I was told that I had the 29.99 plus a 6.00 asscess fee, (plus local taxes of course). Questioned her regarding this, informed that I had read that this should not be assessed the 6.00 fee. She checked with some...

    Research Channel Gone?

    Yes I will. When I switched from C-band to a small dish system, the reason I went with DISH was that, at the time, it was the only one that had EWTN as a PI, the other needed a more expensive package. Now I have the Absolute package and the PI's, along with RFDTV, which I like. Either we...

    Actually, if EWTN :angel: were to go from PI, I would be leaving DISH.

    Cannot get HD

    First welcome :welcome Second; Will need additional information from you. Model of Sat receiver you have. Model and type of TV's would be needed to answer your questions. I'm guessing you are on what is called the Eastern Arc. While DISH may say you should be able to receive their...
