    Dish Network FlexTV Questions..

    That's the wonderful thing about a credit card. If Dish screws up the billing and refuses to correct it, it's chargeback time! Now, linking Autopay to a debit card or checking account is a completely different story.

    Dish Network FlexTV Questions..

    I had the exact same thing happen a few minutes ago, it said I owed approximately $250 (even though my monthly package adds up to $11.49 and I've ordered no PPV or other events). Looks like Dish Network is having some pretty odd system issues, because another poster in another thread said that...

    Dish Network FlexTV Questions..

    According to my online account, both Showtime and Starz are $12.99 each and HBO is $15.99. TMC is included with the Showtime package if memory serves from my DishNOW days. You can choose to get just locals, but you would be subject to a Service Access Fee of $6, plus the cost of the locals...

    Dish Network FlexTV Questions..

    Yes, I converted the DishNOW 301 from the post that you referenced from April. In my previous post I was mainly curious about Dish Network's current policies regarding equipment eligible to be used on FlexTV.

    Dish Network FlexTV Questions..

    Thanks for the info! I was able to successfully get the Latino Welcome Pack ($9.99), KTLA ($1.50) and 1¢/yr. Cinemax for signing up for Autopay last night. BTW, CNN en Español is the one included in the latino welcome pack. Even though I don't speak Spanish (though I'd like to learn) I went...

    Dish Network FlexTV Questions..

    I have a couple of questions about FlexTV: 1) Has anyone gotten the 1¢ Cinemax deal on either of the welcome packages (either English or Spanish)? I read a few pages back that one poster was told that the penny Cinemax deal wasn't applicable on the welcome packs, and the lowest qualifying...

    10.4.2009 - Satellite AV Sample of the Week Contest

    Wow, it was probably my very first install. I had no concept of what a L/O frequency, polarity, symbol rate or any of that stuff was. I was aiming for 97W (G25 at the time ;) ) and had a few of the settings wrong, but I kept scanning around in vain and finally gave up for a couple of days. I...

    Free Sample of the Week - Satellite AV - Ends 9.23.2009

    It all started with a Globecast dish and receiver I purchased from craigslist for a good price and pointed to 97W Ku. I believe the first channel I saw was Al Jazeera English. :)

    Contest: Enter to Win a Mini BUD from Satellite AV

    I used to love going on vacation to North Carolina and Tennessee as a kid. We always visited the gem mines, panned for gold and fun stuff like that. Exploring the countryside is always quite fun, and it's something I still do to this day!

    Just a couple of things laying around the warehouse

    I'll be sure to give them a good home! :D I would also like to thank Robby and the gang down at WS International for offering a new home for these dishes to us SatGuy members first! :up I'll be sure to post pics once I get them all installed. The two 1.2M dishes are going to replace my...

    Dish Network Prepaid Question

    Sorry to you are having trouble with activating service. I activated my new prepaid receiver on Wednesday evening, and was transferred to a CSR in the same manner chdn has been (once I entered the GDMP and R00 number into the automated system, I was transferred). I guess my case is the exception...

    what do you have for your FTA setup dish wise?

    I have one motorized Ku dish and two fixed Ku dishes (G10R due to LOS and AMC1 for the odd skew). Hoping to add a few C-Band dishes to the mix soon. :)

    Programming Suggestions: "BBC World", "CSPAN 3", and "Chiller"

    For a short time I went from Comcast (which carries CNNI, and I otherwise loathe them) to Dish Network (which I loved except for the lack of CNNI) and really missed CNNI for the few months that I was with Dish Network. Wound up switching back soon thereafter. To supplement Comcast's lack of...

    Question on Visionsat Iv200pvr

    Nope, unfortunately the Visionsat doesn't have a NTSC nor ATSC tuner. It's just a passthrough. If I'm not mistaken, pretty much only the HD boxes have ATSC tuners.

    Fav FTA channels?

    For news, all of the feeds :), Al Jazeera English, MHz Worldview when they have France 24 news on and NYN when they have DW-TV Journal on. Russia Today has some interesting documentaries on sometimes too. I am looking into putting in a C-Band dish so I can get BBC World @ 127W and another...

    Receiced my converter box "coupons" on 2/28

    Just received my 2 coupons today. I went ahead and purchased an Insignia unit at Best Buy today, just have to work on a good OTA antenna now. I'm going to hold off on using the other one and try to wait for the TR-40. If it's getting down to the last few days before the coupon expires, I'll...

    Safeway Satellite TV gone?

    Wow, I haven't noticed. I'm not on AMC 1 very much though. At least the Pentagon Channel is a strong 24/7 TP on AMC 1. :)
