    Thinking about coming back to Dish. My question is about their DVR fees. I'm not interested in a Hopper because I do not want to share recordings with my teen age son. What is the DVR fee for a 722(K)? Also I was interested in the 211(Z) for my son's room and buy an external hard drive and...

    Something Unusal.

    I know their has been changes to the programming and fees. For some reason my DVR fee went from $10 to $25. My equipment is HD boxes but I do not subscribe to HD. My locals are on the 99 bird. So does all of the sudden D* think I sub to HD because I have the HD equipment? I have a DVR in my...

    Wing Dish Question.

    Anyone have any luck using a Dish 500 as a wing dish for the 129 bird? I already have a Dish 500 with a DPP LNB and a 500 with no lnb. The 129 is not that great where I'm from. Just wanting the best possible signal. After hearing all the war stories about the 1000.2 and the 129 it made me curious.

    Receiver Question.

    I'm wanting to buy a basic receiver to tailgate with. I found one on solidsignal.com. Do they have a good reputation? Would it be easier just to call D*? I think it's a model D12.

    Satellite Sales Tax?

    Just happen to look at the breakdown of my bill. My state(Tennessee) has a Satellite Programming Sales tax. Does every state have this? They got me for $5.53 on my last bill.

    Can this be done?

    My neighbor is wanting to enter the world of HD. He has Comcast but wants to sub to E* because of more HD channels. Long story straight he has a Dish 500 with a DPP LNB. He gets low to mid 70's on both sats. The 129 maybe difficult to bring in. So it wants to use a Dish 1000.4 as a wing dish...

    Tailgateing Question

    Can you still use an 18" dish to pick up the 101w bird? I have a D12 that I was going to tailgate with next month when the TN Vols started playing great SEC teams. Without having to use Mpeg-4 receivers.

    Subscription Info

    I can't find the fine print of my installation I had done in Oct. of last year. When I signed up D* was running a promotion of free NFL Sunday Ticket. When I ordered the service I told the rep I didn't want it even though it was free. My question is do I need to call them back and tell them I...

    Programming Question.

    I've been with D* for six months. Lately I've been noticing that I'm getting channels that are not in my package. I went to the website and it says I have the choice package which that is correct. Just not sure why I'm getting channels in the higher packages.

    Cancelling service question.

    The way their website reads their billing period for example is 8/17 through 9/16. I know I'll be charged a bill for this period but if I cancel before 9/16 will that prevent getting another bill after I cancel?
