    Getting calls about new "deal" from Dish reseller.

    Well I finally answered one of the calls in hopes of getting him off my back. Turns out he was a Direct TV reseller too and wanted me to "save money" by switching. I told him not to call anymore.

    Getting calls about new "deal" from Dish reseller.

    Ok. Sounds like I'm gonna keep ignoring him. I haven't followed in here in a while so I thought maybe some packages had changed or something. I definitly don't want to re-up my contract because in thinking hard about just cutting the cord and going with Netflix and ota only.

    Getting calls about new "deal" from Dish reseller.

    I already have a Hopper with 2 Joeys and Americas Top 120+. I don't have any premiums so I can't see them saving me there. Maybe I'll call this weekend if I get some time.

    Getting calls about new "deal" from Dish reseller.

    For the last week or so, the Dish reseller who I signed up through 6 years ago has been calling. I never recognize the number so I don't pick up. He has left a few messages about how I need to call him because there are deals "that would give me more and lower my bill". Has anyone else gotten...

Same issues on my iPhone, android tablet, and computer through IE. if I let it sit for 5 minutes sometimes it realizes its connected and works but not always. My Hopper is...

    Can anyone with a sling adapter oh their Hopper see their external hard drive from it? I can see it and use it just fine from the hopper but it doesn't show up when I use my computer through the sling adapter.

    Sling Adapter at Hopper install question to DIRT

    I called and scheduled a Hopper install for this Friday. I wanted to get a Sling Adapter added to the work order but the CSR was unable. He said it was because my current VIP622 is incompatible and that I won't be able to order the Sling Adapter until the Hopper is activated. Is there any way...

    Where to send good comments to Dish?

    I just had my 2 dish setup changed over to an eastern arc setup. I just wanted to say that the installer did an excellent job. He was extremely friendly, and how he routed the wires and grounded the dish was much cleaner and more professional than either of my 2 dish installs. I know there...

    Sling Extender Gets FCC Approval

    I think wireless is pointless anyways as N is generally not fast enough in the real world to stream descent HD unless you are in the next room or have a very good router. Just run Cat5e to where you want your TV2 and be done with it, 100X reliable and wont have issues like with homeplug or...

    CES - DISH Sling Receiver

    Scott, Not sure how much you know about this possible upcoming whole home solution, but would it be a good bet that the 722k recievers would be a part of this with possibly new software, or will this be 922K and/or new unreleased recievers? I am very interested in this, but wanted to upgrade...

    CES - DISH Sling Receiver

    Is the video going to be a direct digital feed from the 722k, or will the sling adapter compress the crap out of it like it does to send video over the internet? IMHO no point in streaming "HD" to a $2000 TV if it is compressed anymore than Dish already compresses it.

    Grounding?

    I was up on my room the other day for other reasons and noticed that there is no ground wires hooked up to either of my 2 dishes. Should I be concerned about this? Seemed odd to me to have an antenna on my roof without any sort of seperate ground.

    The worst customer service I have ever experienced.

    The difference between this and the Absolute package is the Absolute package is no longer offered and no longer supported, so I can buy the fact that it doesn't get every new channel. Turbo HD is still offered and still advertised yet they have decided not to support it. If you dont want to...

    OTA antenna install help.

    I understand the OTA signal will be degrades from the attic and the splitters, but I am in a location where a small multidirectional would work so I figure a medium directional with all the loses of being in my attic should probably equate to what I would get with the small multidirectional. I...

    OTA antenna install help.

    I am planning on installing an OTA antenna along with my Dish 622 that I already have. I was going to put the antenna in the attic and hopefully not have to add an additional cable. In the attic I have access to the line going from my 622 to the TV2 so I was hoping I could diplex into that line...
