    Hustler TV Now Available Monthly

    For those interested, Hustler TV is now available for monthly subscription. But it comes at a price: $39.99 per month. Looks like you can only order by remote on channel 588. Hadn't seen it mentioned so I thought I would post this.

    Ordering PPV

    New to D* and have a question about ordering pay per view (not On Demand). I'm a little confused because I have seen on the website where I can order it - usually a 24 hour "All Day Ticket" for one of the channels, but then I've also heard about people deciding to record a PPV movie to the DVR...

    Just installed today

    I finally have D*. Everything about the install was top notch. I was scheduled for between 8 & Noon, and the installer called about 7:30 this morning, and was here by 8:30. He was very friendly, patient, and knowledgeable. Very happy to get the SWM-LNB & 2 HR23-700's and one standard...

    Register online and/or redeem rebates before install?

    I just signed up for DirecTV over the phone this afternoon, and I was given an account # & order #. Is it possible to register on directv.com and/or redeem the rebate prior to my installation? Or do I need to wait until after I am up and running? Also, how long after calling should I receive...

    When do you pay "up front" fees?

    Whether ordering online or over the phone, when do you pay the one time up front fees? Is it when you place your order or on the day it is installed? Thanks!

    MLBEI - Replays on RSNs included?

    Quick question about MLBEI on D*. Some RSNs show a replay of that nights game later in the night or the next day. If you subscribe to MLBEI, do you get to see these? Or do you need to have both the Sports Pack and MLBEI? I would assume that if you do have both then you would get the replays...

    Power Inserter location for SWM-LNB

    Quick question/clarification regarding where the power inserter is supposed to go with a SWM-LNB installation. My initial thought was that the PI would need to go in between the SWM-LNB and the 1x8 splitter, but based some info I have seen when I searched, it appears that it can go in one of...

    Is an order with 5 tuners a "lock" for getting a SWMLNB install?

    I am starting to see more and more on here that you won't get a SWM LNB unless you have at least 5 tuners on your order. So if I placed an order with D* for a HD-DVR, a DVR, and a standard receiver, am I certain to receive a SWM install? I ask because having to have 2 cables to the TV would be...

    Is the SWM LNB mainstream yet?

    Am looking to switch from Dish to DirecTV (have been for quite some time), but have wanted to wait until I know that when I get installed I will get the SWM LNB (or SWMline as I guess they are calling it). The way our house and attic are laid out, running a second cable is really not an option...

    Just switched from Dish Network to Comcast...

    ...and so far so good. The biggest thing I've noticed so far is that the SD channel picture quality is MUCH better than Dish was. (I'm in the Atlanta area by the way.) Also, the HD quality seems to be just as good as Dish was, and the On Demand HD quality is very good. There are only a couple...

    ANY word on the coming SWM Slimline?

    Desperate baseball fan (& E* customer) here, waiting for the new Slimline dish with the SWM built in to the lnb. Has anyone heard any news on an ETA as to when this will be coming out? The last I heard was Q2 of this year and that was from a slide show presentation to investors or something...

    DVR Advantage Price Increase?

    Since I might as well talking to a badly programmed robot when talking to a CSR, I thought I would check here first. With the new AT price hikes, have they increased the DVR advantage price at all to compensate? Otherwise it's a better savings now than it was before. Thanks in advance!!!

    SWM Question

    I am wanting to switch to D* and I have been doing some research on here and reading up on these SWM's that seem to be hard to come by, and then word of this upcoming Slimline w/ SWM built in. But I guess I'm a little confused at what all the SWM does. My situation is that I have one coax run...

    Do the D* HD-DVR's have a 4:3 aspect ratio mode?

    Quick question...do the HR20 & HR21 have a 4:3 mode for standard aspect ratio HDTV's? Or will everything look squeezed (or cut off)? Thanks in advance!

    My UHF TV2 remote is acting like an IR remote!

    Ok here's the deal. I have a 622 & a 625. Each come with an IR remote for TV1 & a IR/UHF Pro for TV2. The 625's IR/UHF Pro is a 6.0, and the 622's IR/UHF Pro is a 6.3. So here is what happened. My kids we messing with the remotes one day and I thought they had broken the 622's TV2 UHF Pro...

    Single Wire Multiswitch in general use yet?

    I am looking at possibly switching to D* but have been partially waiting on the SWM to be released (along with waiting on my E* contract to end :D). I would much prefer to be able to use my existing Dish wiring instead of them having to run another cable all the way from the dish. Is the SWM...

    Any ideas on new promos coming?

    It looks like the current $20 off per month for 12 months ends on 2/3. Has anyone heard any clues about what the new promo might be? I am a E* customer who is nearing the end of my contract, and am about ready to jump ship. Thanks in advance!

    Making changes to account online?

    Just curious, as a D* subscriber are you able to make changes to your account online, like add AND remove channels and/or programming packages? I have about had it calling E* anytime I need to make a change and inevitably something gets jacked with my account, so I'm looking to see if I can...

    Why are the CSRs a total train wreck?

    Apparently when you tell the customer rep that you currently have the DVR Advantage with AT100 and you would like to "add the AT250 to the DVR Advantage plan" that means that they take you off of the DVR Advantage plan and switch you to the normal AT250, which now also means that I'm paying $15...

    DVR Advantage with AT 100+ ?

    So, looking at the pricing guide on here I see that Dish now offers the DVR Advantage with AT 100 for $39.99. My question is do they offer the DVR Advantage with AT100+, to get the Regional Sports channels as well? And if so, what is that price? $45? Thanks in advance!

    Question about NBA TV for NBA League Pass subscribers

    I understand that by purchasing NBA League Pass you also get NBA TV. My question is, once the season is over, do they shut off your access to NBA TV or do you still get it during the summer? So I guess my question is directed to those that had NBA LP last season (& who don't have the...

    So is E* just going to hold out until Mar. 31 to announce not carrying MLB EI?

    So, I'm beginning to wonder if Charlie is just going to wait until the very last minute to announce that Dish won't be carrying MLB EI. And I can see why he would do this. Why tell people now so that they can go ahead and sign up for D* now? I'm guessing that there is a very low likely hood...

    NBA game on TNTHD is horrific right now

    I turned on the Chicago/Orlando game on TNTHD is horrible tonight. The pixelation is ridiculous. I've been generally happy with HD on E* thus far, but this is really bad. Just wondering if anyone else has noticed this.

    NC @ Duke is blacked out on ESPN right now!?!?!?

    What is up with that? I live in Atlanta, so that shouldn't matter. This is a nationally televised game on ESPN and it is blacked out on Dish? I guaranty this would not be blacked out on ESPN on cable. What is E* not allowed to show decent ACC matchups? Just curious.

    How often can you upgrade equipment?

    I'm considering D* and am wondering, how often are you allowed to upgrade a receiver, whether in a contract or not? Is it whenever you are willing to pay the upgrade fees? Or is it screwed up like E* where you can only upgrade when they decide you can? For example, let's say I sign up with...
