Time Warner Cable came to the house first for internet and appears to have "claimed" the only line going into the house. It is a new house for us and should have thought about the services installation order. I had dish come out for the install today and said it would be impossible to put...

Super great info. I'll give dish a call and try that route. I just bought the house and want things done "gently". I actually hoping to have the dish placed somewhere other than my roof. We'll see. navychop, I may hit you up for that later if needed. Thanks

Yeah , I think that 1 hopper / joey would be enough for us, and add a joey if needed later. How do I find a good reliable installer? Can a subcontractor get me set up with dish or do I still have to go directly with dish to set up the initial service?

Hey DIRT team, I'm going to be setting up service in Austin, TX around the 1st of July and need some recommendations on installation. Should I just call dish directly, go local, or some random website? Also what is the price difference/functionality between the 2 hopper setup vs. the 1 hopper...

I think I will shop around a bit. We'll see. Dish was always really good to me and I loved the service, just trying to save the most money possible. It seems that the prices keep going up.

Yeah, I see your point. It was nice to have some of my old grandfathered things like cinemax for a penny and various credits, but i'm sure other things will come along.

I lived in Western NY and had dish for the first year I was there. After a few summers, some of the trees completely blocked my signal and I had to go with FIOS for the last year. Now we are moving to TX and I am thinking of re-activating my account. Any ideas on special reactivation offers...

Funny thing, I did have to explain that I was on an older package. Thanks for the answers guys. I would trust any of you 100 times over the CSR (especially Scott). I plan on keeping the HD absolute as long as I can. I wonder if I can get reception 6 feet under!!

I was just stating what I was told by a CSR through a chat. Any ensuing pandemonium shouldn't be pegged on a false post. If the CSR was confused (very likely) then we can blame them, but I am just trying to ask what I should do, or if anyone here knows more.

Hey guys, I was on a chat with customer service the othe day about sone of the pricing changes and was told that I would lose my HD Absolute in a few months. Is that true. I don't wan to switch but do I have any bargaining power if I do?

FYI, I just tried to get the FNC added to my programming because I am dishAbsolute. No luck, I was told everything from, just wait a few days, to it won't come to me ever. I almost had a gal switching it on for me but the phone got disconnected as she sent me to tech support. All they could...

So, I just switched to the HD absolute about a week ago and I am wondering if there is a way to 'strech' the picture when the station is not broadcasting an HD program. I know I can just change the aspect manually at each station, but it stays on stretch when the HD content comes on. I want it...

I noticed on the recent Charlie Chat that Las Vegas is no longer on the list for coming HD locals. Why would they remove a city? This makes no sense to me whatsoever!!!

Anyone know of a good 'move' for someone in Las Vegas? We are dying out here in the desert. I wonder if we will pick up Los Angeles when it goes live, but even then, I don't know.

I talked to the CSR on the phone, then a supervisor, and then an account specialist. I got the fee waved by the account specialist. He was super nice and didn't hesitate to waive it. The CSR and supervisor would not budge. Now I am having a hard time connecting my 80 GB passport HDD to the...

I just got off a chat with the tech people and they said there was not a fee to transfer. I am going to try it this evening when I get home. I hope that is true. Anyone here know any different? I don't always trust the chat representative, if you know what I'm talking about. Update: Never...

40 bucks !!!! Well, maybe the last episode of The Office isn't that important after all. I wonder if I can talk them into waiving that fee because it is a replacement unit. I'll see what happens, thanks a ton.

After reading one of the threads the other day on a non-stop fan issue. I checked the internal temp of my 722 and saw that it was averaging 130 degrees. That was a lot so the tech guys at Dish sent me a new 722. Now I am about to swap the two, but I would like to keep the recordings I have on...

No new commitment. After I told them that cable is 'no contract' they didn't push the issue.

Well, thanks for the advice. Just for the record, I got HD for a year and free locals. All I did was tell them the competing prices at Cox Cable and DirectTV. It was never about getting stuff for free (ok, maybe it was), but if there are better deals out there than Dish should try to compete...

I was lucky enough to sign on with Dish without a contract and now my 6 month HD free trial is up. Instead of canceling HD, do y'all think I can use it as a bargaining chip to get something new? Are there any stories or experiences out there? Also, any word on HD locals in Las Vegas?

Same thing is happening here in Las Vegas. I usually pick up 10-11 stations pretty well but since about 3 days ago, I have lost signal on a few stations all together and audio for most of them. It is interesting that when I turn from a station that is working fine to another OTA station that...

When will the local stations be carried in HD in more cities. I live in Las Vegas and can't get anyone at Dish to cough up the info. Anyone out there have an idea or heard anything?
