    Why can't I get two DMA's?

    Charter, a local cable company in East Tennessee, is able to provide customers locals from two DMA's. Tri-Cities and Knoxville. Why can't Dish do the same? Yes, I know. I can get one using OTA and the other through Dish, but I want to get BOTH through Dish. Cable can do it but satellite can't?

    Pole Mount Questions

    Never mentioned $$$ Yes, of course I'll have to pay for it. I know that. That is not a problem. I just want a tech that's not going to come in and do a half-baked job just because they don't "enjoy" digging holes. Besides, whether I pay or not has nothing to do with the installer getting...

    Pole Mount Questions

    That's the reason I posted this question. The answer I got from the first responder was exactly why I posted this question. If I had an installer come in with that kind of attitude I would invite him to leave and then make sure his manager knew the reason I did it. These guys are paid to do a...

    Pole Mount Questions

    I've been a Dish customer about 3 1/2 years and I've been pleased with my service. I've never really had any signal problems such as rain fade unless we have a real deluge coming down. I have decided to call in to Dish to have them send a tech out to pole mount my dish. Right now it is bolted...

    AMC not showing up on chan 131 on Dishonline.com

    Is anybody else seeing this problem with AMC not showing up on the guide using Dishonline.com? I wasn't able to set my receiver to record The Walking Dead last night because of this and they still don't have it updated. I was told their "engineers" are working on it when I contacted dish via...

    S223 is out

    You talk like every other piece of software in the world comes out bug free. I've been working in IT since 1981. I have never seen a major software release go out bug free. That's one reason DISH is releasing the updates to employees first. Employees have an internal forum to allow feedback...

    S223 is out

    As far as Bluetooth goes, it was released, it's in the menu and yes, it does work. I tested it with my Creative D200 BT speaker.

    AutoHop secrets revealed??

    With 115 million television households in the U.S. I seriously doubt that a handful of Dish subscribers with Hoppers are going to cause a serious downturn in the economy. Very clever feature though. Even though my 922 just got the S117 software I think it is probably time to upgrade. I'll...

    Yeah, that's what I thought. I had never heard of such an arrangement.

    Charter has exclusive interet business in my area?

    Yes, but is it EXCLUSIVE in my area to the point that I can't have DISH internet service installed?

    Charter has exclusive interet business in my area?

    When I called to get setup with DISH the sales person told me that Charter is the "exclusive" internet provider for my area and Dish couldn't install their satellite based internet service. My zip code is 37771. This sounds kinda fishy to me. Can anybody help me? BTW - I went through a...
