    On my 4th or 5th VIP622 replacement! I cry Uncle...

    While a bit dated in this shot (The power unit and fans remain in the current setup, but now, all the equipment is now newer. The 622 lives where the 211 is in this shot), this shows my in-wall setup. And a more distant view: I really need to update my photos!

    This is interesting to note.... Thanks. My last 622 to be replaced had the endless reboot problem. Hum...

    On my 4th or 5th VIP622 replacement! I cry Uncle...

    I got an email back from Mr. Kliewer. He said he contacted the director of that department to make sure I never get bothered by the non-returned equipment charge again. Also, he offered to replace my 622 with a 722. Very nice. I thanked him profusely and welcomed the equipment swap. These...

    622's are not dead...

    I have had such bad luck with the 622... I had my umpteenth 622 die upstairs, so I swapped my 722 in while awaiting for the replacement. When the replacement came, I put it downstairs where the 722 was, in a place that very very rarely gets used. About a month after installing the replacement...

    On my 4th or 5th VIP622 replacement! I cry Uncle...

    I recently had another 622 die on my only to have the replacement die on me 1.5months later. I believe I have had at least four, probably closer to six, 622's since I purchased my first one back when they were introduced. Is there any way to know? Just curious if they track that stuff. I...

    How can I see my current contract?

    Looking online at Dish, I cannot find my current contract length. Anyone know where I can find all the details? Thanks!

    Been with Dish for 11 years... Now they say I owe a receiver...

    Ok, this is weird... I've had Dish for years (11 to be exact). I called to cancel about 2 months ago so I could switch to DirecTV. I found out I was physically unable to get DirecTV, so I called Dish back before the cancel date and reinstated. They were kind enough to even give me $15 a month...

    Should I switch to Directv?

    Things went well with Dish. They tried to offer me a deal but really could not match DirecTV's. I am not leaving unhappy with Dish, but economically, the DirecTV deal was too good to pass up. I'm sure, in time, Dish will come out with one and once the contract expires with DirecTV, I will...

    Should I switch to Directv?

    I got a new offer for the same listed above but for $39 per month!! I went ahead and signed up. Now I have to cancel Dish. I re-upped a couple weeks ago ($10 off with contract) but have not been billed or actually even gone a month so I hope I can cancel OK. Basically, Dish has not YET saved...

    Should I switch to Directv?

    Thanks for the information! Now to convince my wife! When I did a chat with Dish to see if they would meet Direc's prices, the first thing they told me was: "But you agreed to sign up with us for two years... and we saved you $120..." I told her, yes, but that was 24 hours ago and you haven't...

    Problem With “Offers”?

    Via chat, the answer is no. I'll call retentions tomorrow & see. Otherwise, I'll simply switch. No big. Saves me $15 per month even after the deal runs out...

    Should I switch to Directv?

    Could they re-use my Dish dish locations? My wife says, "No more holes on the house!"

    Problem With “Offers”?

    Will Dish counter offer DirecTV? I was going to call DirecTV and sign up for their HD package with HD DVR for $49/mo for 12 months. It costs me $99 with Dish for the same thing. Plus no equipment or setup fees. Totally no money out of pocket. I would love for Dish to match the monthly &...

    TW couldn't tell me which HD channels I would get...

    Hum. Interesting. Under HD only, they (TitanTV) also list HDNET, DISC-HD, ESPNHD, and ESPN2HD among a few others that are not on the TW list; about 10 more.

    TW couldn't tell me which HD channels I would get...

    Whew.. OK, feeling a bit better. I wonder if I pop over to someplace like TitanTV, if I can get another list... I'll try! Thans for the input.

    TW couldn't tell me which HD channels I would get...

    17 channels? That's it? I did finally back and was able to find the Channel Lineups, but this is all that was listed under HD Basic, HD pack, HD Premium, and HD Standard: 502 HBO West High Definition 506 Showtime High Definition 508 Starz HD East 552 HDNET Movies 553 HD Net...

    TW couldn't tell me which HD channels I would get...

    I'm considering switching from Dish to TW, but they were unable to tell me which HD channels I would get...! The rep told me she is working in a call center and did not know what channels I would get in my area (Coeur d'Alene, Idaho). Any way to find out? Thanks!

    Look at Timewarner cable

    I called Time Warner ONLY due to trying to cut my monthly costs as part of an overall budget setting move, and found that I can get a one year deal which includes 230 digital channels + HD-DVR and I can save an additional $5 ($45.99 after deal) on my cable internet for a total of $95 + tax, per...

    5 Free Disc Offer

    OK! I got through after holding for 20 minutes this time. The girl that answered was very pleasant. She said they actually DID receive my rebate and that it just shipped today! Now, I think that is a pat answer, but I am glad she said it was received anyway. It seems that maybe it was in a...

    5 Free Disc Offer

    I am on the phone (3rd try) with the rebate center (800-598-9671). The hold times are infinite! The offer says it must be postmarked before 02/29/08, so technically I could resubmit, HOWEVER, the original UPC is a requirement. I am hoping they will make notes and accept it. This is so...

    5 Free Disc Offer

    I just checked on https://portal.archway.com/run/Lookup and neither my phone or my name/address search came up! I called the 800# but they said they were closed for a department meeting and to try back in an hour... Figures. I kept copies of everything (I think)...

    Dish 622 UHF Pro remote no longer responds

    Thanks for the replies! That is helpful. I did NOT check for single vs dual mode in the front panel. I'll do that tonight and post if it doesn't work (although I suspect it will).
