    Is Credit Card required for Dish in PA, unlike DirecTV?

    Now I have Dish. But it is Dish FlexTV, where no CC is required(or Social Security Number for that matter). It is "alright", but I have not used it in well over a year, and is boxed up. It used to be the DishNOW!(DP301) setup which was AWESOME, until I had the DP301 converted over too FlexTV...

    Prepaid Dish Now problem

    Over the past couple of days, I have tried, in vain, too add programming to my service via a Green Dot Money Pak and my DP301. Everytime I have called the automated service, since Tues. 12/16, I have been rerouted to a customer service agent, AFTER I enter in my RECEIVER # for some reason...

    DirecTV Prepaid/PREPAGO

    Now, I found out that DirecTV DOES offer a prepaid model. Unfortunately it appears only to be sold in Puerto Rico at the current time. It appears to have been around for at least 4 years now, and I hope it is coming to the states to compete with Dish Networks DISH NOW!/YA! prepaid program...

    Why do some people here put down/are afraid of the Dish Prepaid Service?

    It seems to be that way, at least in some posts. The post won't be like: 1. The prepaid system doesn't offer any local channels because all you have to give is zip code 2. The prepaid system is only availble in 1 room at this time(only the DP301 or Phillips 3900 are refurbished prepaid...

    HELP!!!!! For the life of me I can't find satellite 110

    Is an indoor satellite dish even possible?

    What I mean is it, with the physics involved(I have NO clue) for DISH or DIRECTV to make a satellite dish that was CAPABLE of receiving it's info, and be installed inside the house? Pointed out a window, no matter if it was double pane, or whatever the material was. Or if it was even pointed at...

    Satellite Install for Dish Pre-paid system

    I got the DishNOW/YA! system from Radio Shack. It includes a DP 301 receiver, a Dish 500 satellite dish with a Legacy Twin LNB(No DishPro logo on the front of it, so I assume that it is that), along with mounting supplies. I found it strange that the LNB was a Legacy LNB(should that matter?)...
