    What happened to XM Sports

    Two years ago, I purchased a new car, and it had XM radio. One of the features it had was XM Sports, you could choose up to five favorite teams, and their broadcasts would show up. I recently started up XM subscription after two years, but all my teams are grayed out now. NHL NFL MLB...

    $5.99 "Protection Plan" - What do you get?

    I signed up for DirecTV in December. My bill is showing a $5.99 Protection Plan charge. I know for sure when I signed up online, I did NOT select that option. I'm about to tell DirecTV to take that off the bill, but thought I would ask folks in the know what you get for the $5.99, and...

    Is there a Directv contact like CEO@dishnetwork.com?

    Just had a Directv installation after having Dish Network for seven years. A couple of issues surfaced after installation. I've called the installation office (Connecttelevision) about 15 times on Saturday, Sunday, Monday and Wednesday. But the office I call is 3000 miles across the county...

    Two Screws Loose (on dish)

    I had a DirecTV dish and HR 21 PVR installed yesterday. It works great. Except the installer cut my OTA coax out in his "clean-up" efforts. But my real question is, on the Dish itself there are what looks like three LNB's (but maybe really five?). But underneath where the LNB's are there...

    Do I own my 811 receiver?

    When the 811 first came out I paid something like $200, plus promised to have 12 months or so of a certain level of programming? So do I own the receiver? Will Dish want it back if I cancel service? I was able to sell my previous receiver, the 6000, it was acquired in a similar manner...

    811 loses OTA Programming Info - What about 211 and 622?

    I have had a 811 receiver for over a year. For OTA, it used to show the programming information for what show was on each channel. Now it just shows "Local Digital" on every digital channel. This apparently came as a software "upgrade" (really a downgrade!). Do the newer 211 and 622...

    Can you buy a 211 instead of lease?

    Just wondering if it's possible to buy a 211 instead of pay the $6 monthly lease fee from Dish. I bought my 811, so don't have to pay a lease fee. Same with 6000, which I sold, and 4900 which I still have. Thanks.

    Where's ESPN2HD?

    I see that the HD programming at the Dish Website shows ESPN2HD as a station. But when I look at the Online Channel Guide for "Dish HDTV Channels" I don't see ESPN2HD. I checked 8 hour periods on five different days.
