    Cinemax penny deal ending??

    Funny...I got the same letter yesterday, so I called in to see if it was actually ending, or was it because I had temporarily taken off my AutoPay. I was told that I had it for a year, so it's just expiring for me, since it was good for only a year. I told the rep that couldn't be true...

    Good customer service

    Yeah, people tend to come here to complain, but I personally believe there are a LOT of people that have good experiences, but don't say anything about it. That's kind of the same with everything, you know? How often do you see people talking to a manager of a store, or some place, to...

    Needs some advice from Blackberry users.

    Hi Don! I'm a die hard Verizozn user and i too use a Blackberry. I used to have a 700W as well, but not being on an Enterprise Server, I used Verizon's Wireless Synch. I wasn't too wild about it only because it synched every 15 minutes, as opposed to the push that the Blackberries do. Now that...

    A procedure question

    Hey ya'll! I have a 622 DVR that I'm very happy with and have had for over a year. Believe it or not, I'm just now starting to really get into recording and have a question. I originally had the 622 tuner 2 set to feed an SD set in my house. I've since upgraded to an HD set so I have a 211...

    Is cancellation's normal?

    Actually, in my area, DirecTV is the one with the history of either cancelling...well...actually, they don't cancel. They just schedule you 3 weeks out, and then their lousey installer shows up 6 hours late...at 9 at night...and then refuses to get on my roof to do the install! when I pitched a...

    The cinemax deal for .1 cent, I was charged full price...

    Sounds to me by reading that, she is crediting your account. I'd save that chat session and pay your bill less the $148. then if it turns up again, email ceo@echostar.com and send this with your email.

    How long will you wait for DISH to deliver before switching to DirectTV

    I was with Direct and they screwed me over big time on lousey customer Service and dddddrefusing to set up my dish the way it needed to be in order to get service at my house. And this was after waiting 3 weeks for an install! I called Dish and they got me up and running in 3 days. No, I...

    ditching cable

    something like that would be up to the individual installer/contractor. You would probably pay the installer directly for that.

    I finally heard back from emailing Dish CEO

    Funny you shoudl say that because as I was reading through his story, I realized that her story is almost EXACTLY what happened to me when I tried to get Direct transferred from my apartment to my new house. That's why I'm with Dish now. I haven't finished reading through the thread, but I'd...

    Can't put contract on "vacation"?

    It may be worth an email to 'ceo@echostar.com' and ask them. I've not had to deal with that dept myself, but I've read here where a lot of people with somewhat unusual circumstances have been able to get somewhere with them. Good luck!

    Direct cust with a question:

    hmmm. I was wondering the same thing, Claude. I didn't know you could do that on Dish's DVRs though. Of course, I think he may have to turn that equipment back in if/when he disconnects, since Direct is like Dish now...considers this leased equipment. When I dumped Direct, I was able to keep...

    asking for a friend...

    ...who is a DirecTV customer. He has an R15 DVR and his wife is giving him hell about him wanting to do some changes that would make her lose her movies she recorded on ther DVR (I think it's an r15). Is there any way on the Direct DVRs to archive off, or transfer copied TV shows to a CD or...

    Direct cust with a question:

    Good point. I'll post my question there too. I was wondering if there was a way to export it to anything really, digital, DVD, VCR, whatever. I asked here thinking there may have been others in that same boat, but you're right, exporting to anything else...ANYTHING else is a good option. Thanks!

    Direct cust with a question:

    Hi all! I'm a very, VERY satisified Dish customer but I'm actually asking this for a friend who is a Direct customer. I think I know the answer, but I'll try asking anyway. My friend has DirecTV - their DVR and has seen my Dish setup. He wants to switch when he moves to his new house in about...

    Dish Network Customer Service?

    I'm on the Dish DVR advantage program. One option I had, other than the auto pay, was to renew my 18 month committment. I clarified with them that if I renewed my 18 month commitment, I would NOT have to do an autopay? the CSR said that was right...most people went with the autopay, but if I...

    Wow what a difference!

    I so totally agree with you on the Dish quality! It's awesome! Don't let the "HD Lite" nay-sayers get to ya. I don't care if it's lite or not...I don't know the difference and am totally blown away by the difference even between this and Direct! Heck...no comparison! And I'm glad to see...

    Remote code for Olevia TV?

    Have yo ubeen able to get the Harmony to work with the Olevias and the Dish boxes? I'm willing to give that a try, but don't want to spend the money on it for it to not work. Have you or anyone tried it...or is it something that SHOULD work? Great idea, if it works! Bruce
