    DISH Makes offer to buy Sprint (Rescinded)

    I don't know, Dishprint has a better ring to me.

    I lost MavTV, and a few other channels??? America's Top 200

    Aren't those the Blockbuster/Dish Platinum channels? Maybe you had the promo of other Absolute customers and kept it free for a year?

    What are the Multi-Sports Package channels?

    I just upgraded from 120 to 120+ and the multi-sports package for Redzone. From Dish's site, I am supposed to get some channels in the 400s and NFL Network, but I also notice that I have ESPN Classic, and I'm not sure I got that before. What channels do you actually receive if you upgrade from...

    Did they try turning it off and turning it back on again?

    Service Restored to 129 Satellite!

    Did a reboot and switch check before coming here. I wonder what happened to 129. I can't even access my guide, though here in Louisiana. Whoops just checked again and my guide is up.

    Losing HD Absolute. Any suggestions?

    Ugh, I just got an email saying that my service was switched to Top 200....after I went through all of that mess on Feb. 1st to switch it to AT120. Just finished a chat and switched it back, but now they're saying my bill will be $30.99 for 12 months. I have no idea what's going on over there.

    So it sounds like calling or not calling doesn't make a difference, and they're swapping over. It's really over this time. It was good while it lasted. :)

    Losing HD Absolute. Any suggestions?

    I know, I know. Ultimately, I can't honestly say I feel totally ripped off if I'm getting Platinum, Cinemax, Starz, and Encore for free for a year for $41. I am aggravated at the fact that I thought I had called and set it all up when I received the letter for $15 off instead of $10, but he said...

    Losing HD Absolute. Any suggestions?

    Well, I think I screwed myself. I used the text chat to see about adding Starz and Encore for free. The first time, they said the system was down. The second time, she happily added it. Then I checked my statement, and I was being charged for AT200, HD200 AND Absolute. Argh. I started another...

    Is my old receiver a doorstop?

    Hard drive? Hard drives? My Vic-20 had 5 Kb of RAM and 16 Kb of ROM, and we LIKED it, mister. :)

    Is my old receiver a doorstop?

    I know how you feel. I have three DirecTivos that I meant to put on eBay a long time ago. Never really did get around to it, and now they're just taking up space. :(

    Losing HD Absolute. Any suggestions?

    Not sure why you're not seeing it unless it is a regional thing. I just went back to an old saved cart and this is what it looks like for me after 12 months. The $99 is because I added 2 HDDVRs at the time. As for the AAA credit, I wonder if it cancels out other promotions as well. If you do...

    Losing HD Absolute. Any suggestions?

    You know, I always wondered why we got Comedy Central, but not MTV/VH1/Nick in Absolute (Or any of the Dish America packs). Aren't they all Viacom channels? I just think it's really weird that the only way to get Nick is Top 120 or above.

    Losing HD Absolute. Any suggestions?

    I received an offer similar to yours, but no free movies. I didn't ask, buy I don't do PPV anyway. $15 credit for a year HD for life HD platinum free for one year America's Top 120 I talked to a very pleasant woman from West Virginia. I asked her if it would be possible to do that. She...

    Losing HD Absolute. Any suggestions?

    That used to be the price until 6-8 months ago when they dropped it to $29.99. Not sure why your price didn't go down.

    Is there a master list of channels/plans for both Dish and DirecTV all in one spreadsheet/app?

    Losing HD Absolute. Any suggestions?

    And this is infuriating. Why? It's not like HD is a passing fancy for fancy people. Yeah, I know the answer is money. :(

    Now I just have to compare that versus DirecTV's packages too.

    Yep, got the dreaded letter today too. Time to make a decision soon.

    Losing HD Absolute. Any suggestions?

    You do have it, you just have to scroll over to the 13th month to see the credit. It should be at the top right of that page. If a $10/20 month AAA discount does apply, then that's pretty good too, even if it invalidates the other $5/12 month discount.

    Losing HD Absolute. Any suggestions?

    Cool. I didn't know if you get other discounts strictly by going online or not. I guess you could always compare by printing out what you get online vs what they want you to sign a contract for locally. I've never actually used a local retailer, I just always bought it online. Although if...

    Losing HD Absolute. Any suggestions?

    I would hope that if you're ordering two HD-DVRs that you'd get the same model for both. I wonder if you can request that if you use the online form or if you can get an online CSR to help you. If a local retailer can give me the exact same deal, I'd really have no problem going through them...

    Losing HD Absolute. Any suggestions?

    Thanks. From what I'm reading, it sounds like the best option is to buy 2 HD-DVRs, but to insist (as much as you can) to get HR24s? Then if you need OTA antennas, get AM21 modules for both. Then, if you have the whole house DVR plan, you have up to 4 streams that can be watched/recorded at any...
