    Wishing I had stuck with DISH

    Well I believe the lady I talked to already WAS in retention.........she was supposed to have a manager call me, but as of yet no call. I'll wait one more day (I have finals tomorrow) and then I'll call back. Trust me, I already threatened to leave and her answer was that I can't........and...

    Wishing I had stuck with DISH

    So, you guys helped me through the signing up process......this turned out to be a small nightmare...........they lost my original order, cancelled my install appointment, had to come out twice because they brought the wrong equipment. So I got over that..... Its been 2 weeks and D* called me...

    New install today.........HR20 remote won't work regularly

    Well, I have to say I am VERY pleased with D* so far. They sent someone out first thing this morning to replace my multi-switch and corrected my DVR problem and they switched my remote to IF and that fixed the problem............. So far I am VERY happy with D* over my experience with DISH...

    New install today.........HR20 remote won't work regularly

    Well I got the remote to work.......but you have to point it toward the ceiling vs. toward the receiver, so I'm thinking its the radio frequency/line of sight issue.......but it is working. Of course, now my DVR in the bedroom isn't working, so when they come to replace the multi-switch today...

    New install today.........HR20 remote won't work regularly

    It was set to RF, and they said the other remotes wouldn't work on my HD receiver.........the others are just regular DVR's.

    New install today.........HR20 remote won't work regularly

    I'm ready to throw it out the window. All the other DVR's remotes work fine, but the HR20 remote keeps freezing up. Everything, guide, channels, #'s, they all freeze up. I push lightly, hard.........doesn't matter. I'm happy with the rest of my install, but I can't handle this remote...

    No HD Locals in my area......waivers/distant feed questions

    I am #130 on the list of markets for HD locals. So basically I have no hope for quite some time to get local HD channels. I currently have an OTA that gets HD locals MAYBE 50% of the time. I live in a highly treed area and at night........forgetaboutit. So, what are my options.......I...

    Just made switch from DISH to D*.......here is the deal I got

    I called, didn't ask specifically for Retention, but I did get multiswith added for free. They didn't budge on the HD-DVR price of $199 or the $99 for the 2nd DVR though. I did arrange for 2 lines installed for each of my 3 receivers though. I'll keep trying.......

    Just made switch from DISH to D*.......here is the deal I got

    I live 2 hours north of Sacramento in the mountains, so my OTA sucks big time.......I get "maybe" one or two channels a night and nothing after 8pm. Lots of trees. I'll look into the switch when I call back tomorrow. Thanks for the heads up Rachel

    Just made switch from DISH to D*.......here is the deal I got

    I'll go out on a limb here and answer the comment about installation for the DVR from Costco. Actually I do get free installation for that DVR as well.......at least that is what I signed up for and what she told me on the phone.

    Just made switch from DISH to D*.......here is the deal I got

    well Well, that was my first post to this site. 1. Apologize for the purpleness.......I didn't do anything to make it that way. 2. Sorry I was tickled with the "standard new customer deal" to me it seemed like a good deal and better than what I saw online. 3. I guess I can see why some...

    Just made switch from DISH to D*.......here is the deal I got

    Free HD Receiver and $99 for separate DVR. I am also going to buy a 2nd DVR for the 3rd tv at Costco for $79 per D* recommendation. You can only order 2 premium receivers at first installation. So initial outlay is $106 and then additional $79 at Costco. I decided to wait on the HD-DVR since...
