Steelersrule paid how much???... Been on this thread for close to 2 years (Pre-paid then Flex for our second place) and I believe Steelersrule's last email was he was making his receiver a door stop or something like that. Well he's back and with an Everything Pack at that. Just one question...

Screwed again by Dishnetwork... I am one of those disaffected Pre-pay customers that bought their own equipment last spring (2009) and was tickled with it until they cancelled it in September and made you go to "FlexTV", which is pay by the month (our setup was for a second place where we are...

This crap with pricing and channels and offerings seems to be happening about every 90 days with these bastards. I was a pre-paid, then a Flex now a locals only since last September. This is crap. All I want to know is what happened to DishHome? I have had Dish for over a decade, but my...

Screwed again by Dishnetwork... Okay, so I went to "pause" or "vacation hold" or whatever the hell they call it on Tuesday and I get "INDIA" (I can help you with that....), and find out "no sh*t" you can't turn it off ("it is not available on your plan, Sir...), but after a hiatus and he checks...

Re: The rebirth of FLEXTV... I think there is a way to actually use FLEXTV and not get screwed. I had mine off since January and told them to stuff it in March when I found out about the $20 reconnect. But my wife is back at our second place, so I had to turn in back on (Dish Family plus...

Death of FlexTV..bait and switch... I called to reactivate my receiver which I hadn't used in two months and was told it would be $20 plus programming to turn it back on. I said no, it's $5 and finally got a supervisor who stated that as of March 1 the fee was $20 and not $5 and that I had...

Multi Sports Package... Finally got hooked up with the programming I wanted. I was taking the DISH Family w/locals which was $26.49 w/tax. To get the Multi Sports Package I found out that you need to have the Dish Bronze 100 Plus (all these damn names are confusing as hell), which is exactly...

Restarting FLEX programming with program change... Could one of you who are more expert than I am (know the answer is on this blog, but didn't want to wade through 20 pages), get me an answer. My monthly FLEX programming just expired and I believe the $5.00 reconnect fee doesn't apply for...

Its been several months and I have forgotten, but I think it is $99 to get the receiver and dish and the install comes with it if you call dish. I have my own equipment and did my own install so didn't need that. And you can check with them about the available programming which should include...

Just paid for some more service last week so we could use the box at our place in Myrtle Beach over the weekend. Don't know why, but I apparently got two months of programming for my original payment. Everything worked like a charm, other than changing the zip code and doing a check on the...

activating programing I haven't used my 301 receiver on a flex account in overa month and checked the box this moring and I am still getting Fox News and some other channels. Intend to add programing today since we will be at our second place over the weekend.

Flex TV experience so far... Switched my prepaid over to FLEX at the end of last month and got Dish Family and locals for Myrtle Beach. We left there on 10/7 so I just brought the box with me to see what I could do in Maryland. It works fine up here (but no locals due to alignment change) and...

Screwed again by Dishnetwork... I decided to call and see if, in fact, I could actually turn off the service and put it in "PAUSE" mode, which is what you can do with a regular account. Well guess what. NO!!! You pay up front for a month and if you don't use it you EAT IT!!! What I finally...

Shut off and turn on with the Prepaid accounts I think the real question for many of you is what is the shut off and turn on cost with the new Prepaid situation. I think I am going to be the guinea pig since I am going to our second place in Myrtle Beach and will be picking up my wife and we...

Did the switchover to FLEX... After finding out about the demise of DishNow last week, I called Dish (regular number) on Saturday to discuss my options. Since I already had a 301 with the G3 (purple) card and it had been activated all I had to do (after they switched me to the FLEX area) was...

Dish monthly rates... I've been reading with dismay about the demise of Prepaid on this forum. Guess it's over now. I haven't used my satellite at our second place in a few weeks so I haven't tried to add days or anything and I didn't buy any more GDMP cards so I'm not out there either...

Termination fees.. I'm not so sure about that termination fees thing. For FlexTV you have to own the equipment, either by buying it yourself or buying it from them. The only thing they are providing is a "free" install, and if you are a current or prior subscriber, then there is no install...

Regarding the question about the Smartcard info. Someone emailed me back that they ask for the Smartcard number, in addition to the rest, if there hasn't been any activity for 45 days or longer. After that they don't ask for it.

GDMP cards... I used a GDMP card to add one day of programming Saturday evening and it worked fine. The only difference from the last time (haven't used the system since June), was that the automated line asked for the Smartcard number in addition to the GDMP number and receiver number...

You stated "no new prepaid cards" which I assume means no new DishNow cards from Radio Shack. Do the Green Dot Money Packs still work.

Moving Prepaid to a new location... I am finally going to take my prepaid receiver and tripod setup from Maryland to Myrtle Beach this weekend. I know everything works since I tested it here several weeks ago (with the tripod and Dishpro Plus LNB's). I am currently using it with my legacy...

Question about used Green Dot Money Pack I'm on my second GDMP card with no problems, but, since the balance on the cards will probably never work out to an exact amount of some type of programming, is there any way to get those small balances credited or refunded. From what I have seen with...

Setting up prepaid with a tripod I finally got my tripod kit from ebay (tripod, mast, 30 ft RG6, splitter, spikes, barrel connectors for $39.76/shipping included) and set it up in my yard next to my existing Dish 500 (legacy) which is on a post in the ground. Eyeballed it as to azimuth using...

New DishNOW user report After reading all the posts here and checking prices on EBAY, I bought a 301 prepaid box with G3 card last month ($49.99/shipping included) and since I already have Dish, which is currently turned off, I just hooked is up to the existing RG6 (I am using a Legacy 500 dish...

Thanks... Kind of figured that. The one person on this thread mentioned they bought a receiver off ebay, but I assume that was a dealer who sells the prepaid boxes. And also Sadoun has a pretty nice package too. Also assume that a prepaid box stays as a prepaid box and can't be converted to...
