Do you know why and for how long?

I took it that the OP was upset that "cheap Dish" wouldn't upgrade his current receivers to HD receivers for free and that's why he bought them off Amazon. Maybe I was wrong. I don't have too much of a problem with Dish charging to upgrade SD receivers to HD receivers. That is something that...

Both owned by Charlie Ergen. Two different cars, same driver. On paper, you can separate the two. In reality, not so much.

Apparently, channel 213 has disappered into the Bermuda Triangle, never to be seen again.

Dish is not obligated to upgrade your receivers for free. Whether each of us like it or not, it really comes down to a "take it or leave it" deal

Had a tech tell me that they have been told the DVR fee would increase to $10 a month.

Just wondering why Dish doesn't have the locals in HD for the Macon DMA? Does Dish understand that many HD customers in this area are getting tired of waiting and are ready and willing to switch to Directv to get them?

As bad as Dick Clark looks, ABC should've broadcasted in black & white. It was sad, like watching a freak show.

Why do you have such a problem with Dish using space on the new sats to provide more people their HD Locals?? And I saw your post where you mentioned that Dish should just offer a national HD feed of the networks (ABC, CBS, NBC, and Fox) instead of using space for various HD Locals. That is...

This wasn't just about this thread, it was also about comments he has made in other threads. In some other thread, he basically threatened to cancel then because he found out that Dish is going to a use lot of space of their new sats to add more HD Locals. He didn't care if other people got...

If you want that 2nd receiver so you can watch 3 different shows in 3 different rooms, just call Dish @ 1-800-333-DISH.

People like you will never be satisfied no matter who their provider is. As I told you before, there's no one standing between you and the door. Please don't come back in here when your new provider doesn't plan every decision based soley on what YOU want. Get over yourself. You aren't...

Congrats for making an ass out of yourself. Most customers prefer I use their HDMI over the ones Dish provides. I save those for other jobs considering that we frequently don't have them in supply. As far as component cables, hell's bells, we'll never run out of those. You would have had a...

It all depends on line-of-sight to the 129. Usually we can replace the existing Dish with the Dish 1000 and capture all 3 sats (119, 110, and 129). But sometimes we have to install the Dish 1000 in an different spot, or do what we call a "2-dish" solution and leave your existing dish which...

The 222 only gives you HD setup to one TV and SD to the other. May I suggest that if you're going to upgrade to HD to go ahead and upgrade all the way to a HD DVR (622 or 722 receiver). Just like the 222, the HD DVR would feed HD to your HD TV and SD to your other TV.

You won't be able to get Atlanta and San Fran. About a year ago, the courts put a serious "beat-down" on Dish Network by prohibiting them from broadcasting so-called "Distant Networks". You are "legally" only to get the Networks (ABC, CBS, NBC, and Fox) from the city that some ding-dong in...

So, going by your "theory", Dish should spend $300 on it's best customers. Well, let say by "best" you JUST mean the "top" 1 million since Dish is approaching 15 million. Let me do the math for you: 1,000,000 x $300 = $300 million. Hell, even just the top 100,000 = $30 million. Do you...

Since you're in a crunch, the only thing I can think of is taking red and white audio connections of a composite cable and hooking them into the back of the 722 in the red and white that are directly by the component's green, blue and red (You should see these labeled as TV1's connections)...

Just about a sure thing that the installer will have component cable. However, just a so-so chance that he will have HDMI cable. For whatever reason, Dish doesn't supply too many of them. But, even when I do have them, a good number of customers prefer that I use the HDMI cable that they...

Amen to that. What a lot of customers don't understand is Dish is sending us out with 15-17 hours of work each day and expecting us (and telling the customers) we will be at that last job by 5 p.m. And that eliminates us doing ANYTHING extra like we use to back in days when we only had 3 jobs...

...and you suing their butts off!!:D

They're my customers too?? Does that mean I should be getting a "residual income" from them each and every month just like Dish Network?? Yeah, right!! Once again, Dish doesn't want us spendining our time "unproductive", and buring 200+ feet of cable FREE OF CHARGE is definitely...

Go ahead. No one is standing between you and the door but yourself. And then when Dish does retake the HD lead, you'll be over on the DirecTv boards groaning and moaning to those guys.

How old are you?? 11, 12?? 14 tops.

I"ve done several installs with a 622 and two 211s. However, I had no way of knowing if the customer had to buy one of those HD receivers. The initial work order doesn't really show that info. As far as the HDMI cable, don't waste your blood pressure on it. The ones we use at Dish are...
