    Upgrade

    Has anyone tried to get a free upgrade on their receiver since Feb 1st? I tried and they were unwilling to waive the $100 fee even after I threatened to cancel my subscription next month when my contract is up. Is there an email address I can write to that will be more understanding about...

    Self install on new HD DVR?

    I received with my bill the invitation to upgrade to an HD DVR (I currently have the 211). I've also been having problems with my 211 detecting my locals from OTA. Needless to say, I would like to make the upgrade. However, a few months back I "moved" to South Bend,IN. Can I get this upgrade...

    Yet another "moving" question

    I currently live in southwest lower Michigan (St. Joseph/Benton Harbor) and want to "move" to South Bend, Indiana. The only reason is because Cubs games there are not blacked out on Comcast Sports Net and they are where I live. I use my OTA antenna for my locals which pick up both Chicago and...

    Dish-Antenna interference?

    Is it possible that if my tv antenna and sat. dish are pointing in a direction where the path to their sources intersect with one another that they could cause interference? A couple of times this week some of my Chicago locals lost strength when I had them viewed through my Dish 211. When I...

    "Moving"

    Pardon me for living in a cave, but when everyone talks about "moving" to another city to get a particular team's baseball games, what are you referring to? Do you have to turn your sat. dish in another direction or is it as simple as changing the zip code on your billing address? Sorry for my...

    Digital signal strength when analog goes out

    Will a channel's digital signal strength increase once that particular station's analog signal is cut off? I live in Southwest Michigan and can receive all the South Bend, IN locals but the Chicago channels I get are very inconsistent in their strength.

    White Sox blackout on CSN Chicago

    I live in Southwest lower Michigan, just across the lake from Chicago and only about 1 1/2 hours away. Just now, I tried to watch the White Sox vs Colorado on Comcast Sports Chicago but it is saying it is blacked out in my area. It doesn't appear to be on any of my local channels like WGN...

    Not a very good deal?

    I've been a loyal Dish Network customer for six years and today I called to inquire about upgrading to HD Essentials with the AT100 Plus package. CSR said I would have to sign a two year commitment AND pay a $100 upgrade/install fee for new dish and receiver with no rebates of any kind. I don't...

    AT100 Plus locals question

    I just called Dish to upgrade me from AT 100 to AT 100 PLUS. I was hoping to just pay 37.99 and opt out of the local channels. However, the CSR told me that the local channels are included with that package no matter if you want them or not and that I would have to pay for them. Does this...

    Is this possible? (New to HD question)

    First of all, let me just say thank you to all who have helped me in the past with questions I've had. Hopefully in the future I can be of assistance to other new people who have questions. I am about to make the jump to HD for the first time. I want to know if I can do the following: I'd...

    Correction on bill

    I called Dish last night to dispute a charge which was put on my bill in error. They said they were removing the charge. However, I logged into my online account to pay my corrected bill and the charge is still showing up. Does it take a couple of days for corrections to a bill to show up or...

    Comcast sports chicago blackouts

    I am going to be upgrading from AT100 to AT100 Plus early next year. I have heard rumblings that Chicago Cubs games get blacked out on Comcast Sports Net. Who does this affect? I live in the Southwest corner of Michigan, only about 1 1/2 to 2 hours away from Chicago. The local channels...

    Analog cutoff & Dish Receivers

    I am still using the receiver that I was given by Dish over five years ago - a Dish Pro 301. Will this particular receiver be sufficient for when everything goes digital. Pardon my lack of knowledge on this topic, I just wasn't sure if I had to have a particular kind of receiver to watch tv on...

    DVR upgrade

    Newbie here....I have been with Dish for about 5 years now and am still using the same receiver (301?) that was initially provided to me. I noticed that in a recent ad that new subscribers are being offered a "FREE" 2 room DVR upgrade. Does "FREE" mean that the 5.98 DVR fee is waived, or does...
