    Few throw in Dish towel

    I switched and I do not regret doing so. I have found D* to be equal or superior in everyway except the super stations. TIVO is much better than the E* pvr's. Picture quality is equal. CS is eqal. Software seems to be superior. Multiple manufacturers is definitly a plus. NFL package is...

    Well, the drama is over

    I may live to regret this, but I have just called D* and signed up for a Tuesday installation. After seeing Viacom scroll a ominous message on the bottom of some of my favorite channels and then seeing E* blacking the message out, I realize this is a pissing contest that we as Dish customers...

    Would you leave Dish if they stop carrying CBS?

    That is a good point. I live in a CBS owned city (Philly). Meaning, Viacom owns my CBS station. If they pull it due to E* and Viacom not coming to terms, is E* or Viacom legally in trouble for not allowing or not providing the local CBS with all the other local channels?

    Would you leave Dish if they stop carrying CBS?

    I know Dish monitorsthis site. I think they should know how we feel. I for one will leave Dish if I do not have CBS. Cable around here is terrible and OTA is not what I want to do. D is my only alternative. How do you feel?

    "REscanning" problem?

    I tried speaking to Dish about it. It seems that I am unable to communicate this problem to them. I was able to speak to a tech guy who just could not understand what I was trying to tell him. Any ideas? Is there a more techinical way of saying that my screen is rescanning?

    "REscanning" problem?

    I have a 56" JVC with an 811 hooked up. I have all the problems mentioned in earlier threads with one addition. Every 17 to 20 seconds, I get a rescan on my TV. What I mean is that the screen jumps from top to bottom. This happens with any type of hookup including DVI. Is this a 811 issue...

    811-- Are these issue still a problem

    I have an 811, but have uninstalled it. Dark picture was the biggest reason. I also was able to see a "rescanning" every 20 seconds on my television. I could live with the guide and 5.1 issues, but the dark picture and rescanning made me lose my mind. Does anyone know when these issues are...

    811 "Darkness" problem

    I have already sent back both my 811 recievers. I will not be part of the "Beta" team for Dish. I will not put up with the darkness issue, I will not put up with jagged screen seen on large TV's, I will not put up with a inferior guide, I will not put up with two remotes that are not working...

    A new issue with my 811

    Do you feel this could be a tv issue. It soes it both on the DVI and S. Do different TV's react differently to the source output?

    A new issue with my 811

    After the long wait, I final have my 811. So far I think it sucks. Let me tell you why... I have a Dvi and a s-cable connected to my JVC 56wp30. About every 15 to 20 seconds the screen flickers. When I called Dish about this they told me that the system is "rescanning". What does this...

    Charlie Chat.... Your thoughts...

    They lost me After that 1 hour waste of time, I am gone. I encourage everyone to call Dish and tell them to cancel your account and call back when they get serious. How can they string us along like this. I rather have Voom right now than dish. Impeach Charlie!
