    Questions about Canceling

    I've been mulling it over the past few weeks. I'm leaning towards cord cutting and getting rid of DISH. I'm renting a 722K and am currently not on a contract. How much will it cost me to cancel? And what does DISH want back?

    Looking at my options to save money

    Hi. I'm looking to save money. Dish didn't do anything wrong. It's just my viewing habits have changed drastically since I first had Dish installed 17 years ago. (Forgot to add, I'm not on a contract currently.) I attached part of my monthly bill to this post. First let's start here: Dish...

    Does Dish still check if your receiver's connnected?

    So my USB fan of over 8 years that cools my 722K just broke. While, I'm in the process of getting a new fan, I've resorted to unplugging my DVR when I'm not using it to cool it. Since I've been with Dish I've had a history of DVRs overheating and needing to get replaced. The USB fan was...

    I'm a Game of Thrones' fan. There are 7 episodes this season. I'm on the Welcome Pack. So basically this is my plan. Since there's an HBO free weekend, I'm watching the 1st and 2nd episodes this weekend. Then next Sunday (July 30) I would subscribe to HBO (I currently have a $10/mo offer...

    HLN (ch. 202), part of the Welcome Pack now?

    Is HLN, channel 202 part of the Welcome Pack now? I noticed it turned blue in my TV Guide the other day. But just the SD version, not the HD version which makes me think it's not a free preview.

    HBO & Cinemax for $20 a month for 6 months

    I saw this on TNT last night. It's a better deal than the previous deal which was $10 off HBO and Cinemax for 6 months. My question is, can you split that offer? What I mean is can I just get HBO for $10 a month for 6 months and not get Cinemax at all? I remember they let me split the offer...

    Replacing the Remote Contol

    Yeah I don't know what happened exactly but over the past few weeks the buttons on one of my remote controls for my 722K have gotten harder and harder to press. It's become a PITA. It's the IR remote for TV1. How much does it cost to replace the remote if you have the protection plan?

    Questions about interchanging cords

    Quick computer hardware question here. Are power cords for computer monitors interchangeable? I just got a new computer monitor but the power cord that comes with it runs tight on my setup. My old broken monitor has a longer power cord. (They're both the 3-prong cord.) Can I use that...

    Is my router dying?

    I have AT&T Uverse Internet so AT&T gave me a router (that also doubles as a modem). I noticed every time it reboots (ie. the power goes off in my neighborhood and then comes back on), my speed almost always comes back slower and it never goes back to the speed it was before. I have AT&T's...

    According to channel 103 it looks like we get the Encore package and Indieplex as a free preview this month: It lists channel 340 there, which is actually Encore East and part of the Starz package but the only Encore channel in HD so hopefully we get Encore E in HD. Could be a mistake though...

    Ethernet light turns off on router

    Okay, here's the story, a few weeks ago when I got up in the morning, I noticed the Ethernet light was off on my router which was unusual because it's always stayed on when I turn off my computer (which I do before I go to sleep every night). All the other lights on my router were still on. So...
