    Dish internet service

    When I changed to Dish from my cable Co. they gave me a good deal on the internet service, but only for one year then it doubles. Has anyone got Dish internet and if so what is the DL speed and is it stable, also the cost of the service. I hate to change and have to set up new email accounts as...

    Phone & Internet?

    Thanks for the reply, I thought that is what I had to do but was not sure, that is why I asked. Ordered today over the phone and the sales rep acted and spoke like he didn't care if I ordered or not. Maybe he is just tired of winter and was having a bad day. Anyhow thanks again for the reply.

    Phone & Internet?

    OK, I'm pretty much sold on Ooma but had a question on installation and phoned Ooma CS, my first mistake, the young lady that I spoke to didn't have an answer to my question and proceeded to tell me how Ooma worked, I asked her if there was someone there that had technical knowledge that I...

    Phone & Internet?

    Checked out Ooma and it looks like something I may get. If you make a lot of LD calls there is an international plan, I don't so its a moot point.

    Phone & Internet?

    Never said I was not going to pay, just not pay till I got an explanation or some of the items on my bill. I have 10M now and phone and if that is all I want from them it will be $76.00 plus tax which would bring my monthly payment with the dish package I would want to 186.00 next year and I...

    Ethernet cable?

    OK, how do you get the sling adapter for free? When I am on the Dish site and add it to my package it adds $99 to my summery. Or is it just the service that is free?

    Ethernet cable?

    I'm thinking of going to Dish after July 31st if the replay servers go down and there is no way to get the EPG after that date. I was looking on the Dish site and when it shows the rear of the 722k it has an Ethernet input, in the notes it says for future use. Is there no use for it at present...

    Need a phone number

    An elderly friend of mine is having trouble with Dish service and he doesn't use a computer to find things out so I said I would try. This is the problem he is having. He phone for service and they said they would be out on Thursday, he waited all day and they called at 5PM and said they would...

    Small dish satellites

    Bought a small travel trailer and would like to use a dish and have a question? Are there any Satellites I can get using a small dish, 18-22 inches. I have no desire to get Dish or Direct TV or to carry a 30 in. dish. If there are some birds I could get with a small dish even if I have to...

    Dish Payment Enforcement

    The reason people want to pay on the 3rd of the month is that is when the get their Social Security check. But this comes back to maybe Dish could make some kind of arrangement with these subs to be able to pay on the 3rd. Or the sub should just cancel if the payment is too much for their fixed...

    Looking for new receiver.

    Thanks for the replies, this sounds like it might fill the bill, I like that it downloads any firmware from a satellite as most firmware is in a windows file and I can't open some of them on my Mac and would have to borrow a windows laptop from a friend to download update to a USB flashdrive...

    Looking for new receiver.

    My Neusat SP6000 died, I tried to load the 6000SP production bin into it but to no avail, guess it's time to get a new receiver. I see CNX Nano for sale at dealers for $99, not the Nano 2 just the Nano. Is this a good receiver? I have tried to search on here for a review but no luck. Or can...

    Going Green and Saving the environment

    Find someplace where it is growing wild, it reproduces rapidly so you don't have to have a lot of plants if you can wait for it to grow.

    Going Green and Saving the environment

    My biggest problem is that I think my wife has shares in Duke Power and PSNC {gas } because she is forever going out both in summer and winter and leaving the door open, we do have a storm door but that is of little when the wind is blowing and it is in the teens. On the other hand we keep or...

    Enter to win: Solar Panel from Sadoun

    Like most people we recycle everything we can, have replaced regular bulbs with CFL bulbs, wash clothes in cold water and my wife is going to replace her 10yr old Toyota this year or next spring with a Hybrid car, most likely a Prius.

    Enter to win: Sadoun Powertech DG380 HH Motor - End 2/28/09

    Why would anyone not use a motorized dish, it's the only way to really enjoy the FTA hobby with the added positive of only having to have one dish and not a dish farm, unless you really want to.

    LIVE FTA TV SHOW ! perhaps ?

    Sounds like a great idea, and maybe members could donate money in any amount to help out, just like some forum members do to support their favorite forums. Hey ten or twenty bucks a year won't hurt most of us as long as it is not mandatory to donate to watch.

    DirecTV Buys ReplayTV?!?!

    I have two Replay TV boxes, one has Commercial Advance the other doesn't but if you use the right navigation arrow button it does skip the commercials, sometimes it goes to far, or not enough but most of the time it works OK. I have used Tivo and Replay is by far the better unit, bad marketing...

    Direct with FTA dish?

    Yes this is what I was trying to find out, I have a motorized dish so would I only need one LNB from Direct if I can find a way to connect it to my dish? If not this still seem workable. I still want to keep my FTA as I watch a number of birds but mostly G10R, I mostly watch cable in the...
