    Can login mydish.com, but My Programming gives error, back to login page

    I just noticed this today. All links work except for My Programming. It seems odd that it is only for some accounts and not others.

    BLACKOUT

    At least the cable company is able do something. Cable companies are not under the same rules as Dish and DirectTV in terms of only providing in-market locals.

    BLACKOUT

    I am in this market and will be sending a complaint to the TV station telling them flat out that they are being greedy. Dish is in the right on this one. Both channels 9 and 32 out of Cadillac/Traverse City are small town stations that are full of themselves. I suggest others flood the...

    Welcome Pack without locals available through DIRT?

    Take a look at My Programming in your account. If you go over to the International tab, it looks like you can remove locals. I'm not going to try doing it myself, but I thought I'd mention it in case someone wants to mess with it.

    Receiver Replacement Recommendations

    Prices for the 211 on eBay seem to be around $100. I don't want to get into any leasing commitments. Anyway I found a 311 for about $20 that has a purple card and is clear to activate--works for me.

    Receiver Replacement Recommendations

    Will the 211 play nicely with legacy LNBs?

    Receiver Replacement Recommendations

    I am slightly puzzled here. Are you assuming I have dual LNBs? My thought with the 322 would be to use one satellite input and ignore the other one. Right now I have the SW21 outside and one cable running into the house.

    Receiver Replacement Recommendations

    Currently I have a model 3000 receiver that is getting flaky so I need to replace it. It is connected via an SW21 switch to two dish 300s pointing at 110 and 119. It all legacy equipment. I am not interested in upgrading to HD so basically I just want a good SD receiver that I can swap in for...

    Welcome Pack

    I wonder if one of the Dish reps who monitor this forum could plead your case about the PBS national feed? Like you, I have had the PBS national feed since I first got Dish 13 years ago and I probably watch it more than any other station.

    I was looking at the new one.

    DISH Network Price Change

    There is a new package from D called Select that appears to have a base price of $44.99. The channel selection seems worse than Dish to me.

    Dish Cutting off DishPix Sept. 29

    Update: locals working fine now. It just took a little longer for them to show up.

    Dish Cutting off DishPix Sept. 29

    I finally called Dish today to make the change and they must have been in a generous mood. They offered me Top 120 at $14.99 for 12 months. The only thing not working so far is my locals. I checked to make sure I was getting signal on the correct transponder and it looked ok at about 65. The...

    Dish Cutting off DishPix Sept. 29

    As an update to this thread, I got written notification today that Dish Pix would end Sept. 29 so I suppose I have to do something now. Bummer.

    Dish Cutting off DishPix Sept. 29

    I guess you must be the second person I mentioned in my first post. :) It is still curious that you haven't received a phone call. They called again today and left a message while I was at work. I hope someone else with DishPix will chime in as well. Maybe they are just looking for suckers...

    Dish Cutting off DishPix Sept. 29

    I got a call from Dish a couple of days ago indicating that they were ending my grandfathered in DishPix (Pick 10) package on Sept. 29. I realize that I am probably one of only two people left with that package, but it is still kind of sad after 13 years. To their credit they are offering me...

    Upgrade from 3000 Receiver

    That was it. Funny thing is when I recently looked at the packages offered now, I only found two channels that I would like to add--other than locals. It isn't worth doubling my monthly fee for those two channels.

    Upgrade from 3000 Receiver

    I want to add locals but keep my old grandfathered in Dish Pix plan. I know I will need to swap my Dish 300 for a Dish 500 (my locals are on 110). Does anyone have any suggestions on what to buy from eBay to accomplish this in an economical fashion? I can do my own installation. My current...
