Thanks

What do they "typically" give you when you sign up?

I've been out of contract on directv for several years. I am getting roofing work done and they will be removing my dish so I'll have to get someone out to reinstall it. I figure since I'm out of contract, I'm in a good position to negotiate for new equipment + install since I can just as...

Any idea how they track you? I know for directv it is by phone number. That is how I got the new customer offer.

Well, my dad is a current dish customer for about 10yrs. He wanted to get an HD upgrade, but he doesnt want to pay $200 (99 install fee + $100 to change 2 SD boxes to HD eventhough they are connected to regular tvs. They told him 6months so he wants to switch to comcast for 6mo. I thought it...

If I cancel dish network now, how long will it be until I'm counted as a new customer again? Do they do it by phone number?

Yes, absolutely. If I promise to keep paying to park in their garage for the next 2 years, I'd expect something for that loyalty. But to speak to what you quoted, regarding having to change SD receivers connected to SDTVs, thats like Chevy telling me that the old S10's aren't supported anymore...

Yeah, I figured it would be easier for the installer to leave everything where it is. One less dish to take down, one less receiver to hook up. I just wanted to make sure, that the access cards wouldn't suddenly get canceled out on the old ones or something like that. I just don't want to get...

Hmm, so I should tell the CSR I only want to upgrade one box and have the install the dish and hook it up and have them not touch the other SD box or the old dish. I'll see if the CSR will go along with this plan. Did you have to do anything special the CSR?

Thanks for the quick reply. It just doesnt seem right to be forced to pay to upgrade SD receivers to HD receivers even though they are connected to SDTVs. Now the old dishes are on the roof now, can't they just leave those dishes there connected to my existing SD receiver, and then add the HD...

ok I called up and got a surprise. I asked if I could immediately cancel the service plan and they said yes and said that I would not be charged anything than the $25. so $15 + $25 + whatever I used out of the $6. However, now they tell me that I need to pay $50 for an HD receiver upgrade...

I see. Since its a per month fee, I assume if I had it for years and cancel it, they wouldnt go back and charge me for every service. Sounds like its a gamble to go with the $15 for the upgrade. Also, I noticed you said $84, so they do not subtract the $15 or the $25 from the value of the...

ok so if I cancel the protection plan after install, I get charged the $25 and am prorated from when I sign up, but I do not get charged anything extra for the install. I wasn't sure what "less the value of any service received" meant and if the install would count as a "service" received.

Here is the situation. Currently: SD subscriber with no contract. HD for life upgrade offer: 1. Pay $99 to upgrade 2. Pay $15 to upgrade and sign up for the service plan The service plan agreement says: I am curious about #2. 1. Can one just sign up for the plan, pay the $15...

my parents are trying to get HD. They have been on Dish for years without a contract without HD. They called to try to get an HD upgraded and was offered either $95 for them to come out to put in a new dish and box, or $15 if he signs up for the protection/insurance plan. (both with 24mo...

I live in Philadelphia. I currently have DISH with no HD with my dish pointing south west. I assume looking at 110,119,129. I tried to upgrade to HD. The installer tried to install a 1000.4 to see 61.5,72.7,77 but I had trees in the way so he told me I was out of luck. I looked at the...

In my previous apartment I had a R5000 with DirecTV for three years. Unfortunately they switched to mpeg4 and even if R5000 supported it for directv I couldnt get it due to trees in the way. However I did enjoy being able to record stuff, then transfer it to my computer and re compress if I...

I went to get the apartment today but it was taken, I was forced to take another that faces NE. I guess this is OBE now. I checked and now I think the only one I can get is 61.5 now, maybe. I assume having only 61.5 won't do anything for me. Perhaps that eastern arc thing They tell me I can...

I currently have DirecTV using the old MPEG2 HD with a R5000-HD so I can record transport streams. I plan to move in about a month the NJ near philly. I figure this is a good time to upgrade my HD. R5000-HD will only support mpeg4 with DISH so I figure I'll just switch to Dish network, their...
