Many years ago when I signed up with Dish there was definitely a value proposition. Later they started to get HD and many people like me did not like the service from my cable company. Over the past few years I put up with their channel disputes with providers. I was paying for everything but...

I was just wondering myself since things were different in the past. On another note I cancelled and Dish mailed me the return boxes. I packed them and shipped them the next day. Today I got a nasty automated phone call telling me they will charge me for the receivers and such. I dare them to...

I just left Dish after 13 yrs but I was wondering about this for others who are having issues with Dish regarding upgrades and such to the new Hopper. Isnt it cheaper for those customers to just buy the Hopper themselves and not sign a 24 month equipment agreement. Based on what Dish charges I...

I could not disagree with you more. I have been a 13+ year Dish customer. At one time they even offered a free month if you prepaid a yr in advance. ( I did that) I dont upgrade equipment much either (currently running 722 systems) I only have it on two tvs. The last go around Dish did not want...

I have been a Dish customer for more than 13 years. I am one of those rare people that dont care about NFL. With that being said and completely candid I always felt Dish was really good at the tech aspects, like sling player integration etc. I also felt the overall bang for the buck channel and...

For me (I rarely upgrade) I am not paying the 200 they want to upgrade. I can save a bundle in my case to switch over to Direct TV. I figure I will save about $600 before getting started based on equipment and all sorts of promos. Rob

This is what I am thinking. It is not 2005 anymore. I had HD originally via a very expensive Sony TV. We hooked it up and I got a huge antenna installed in my attic. I got a handful of networks in HD and most of the stuff was not in true HD anyway. Still looked good. It is 2013 and basically...

I wasnt happy with the offer they made me and I have been a very long term customer getting a full package. I rarely upgrade. The way it looks to me is that it makes far more sense to me to go to Direct Tv and get the free equipment and a ton of service credits and such. Between equipment...

I think the threads are popping up because I think it is something that seems to be ongoing in the business. I used to hear about customers who would go back and forth every few years with dish and direct. I never bothered with that. However I think now as we get more advanced with the equipment...

After being a Dish subscriber for 13+ years I am thinking of jumping ship. Looking at the new costs of the new Hopper to upgrade my 722K between the initial receiver cost on top of my current bill (Everything pack + locals + superstations) For many years I felt Dish was the best bang for the...

Long term Dish customer. I am not currently on contract. Interested in upgrading my 722 receivers to (two hoppers) Thanks Robert

Since it is 2013 dont you guys think Dish should dump NON HD channels. I cant see any real need to carry any non HD channels. If they decide to add any channels in 2013 they shoudl be HD only. Am I off base? Just wondering. Non HD content looks terrible on todays HD tvs.

Long time Dish customer. Currently we have (2) 722 systems. Interested in 2 Hoppers and 1 Joey. Appreciate the info on cost etc.

I currently have 2- 722 units in my house. I would like 2 Hoppers/1 Joey. I have the Everything Package currently. Robert

Holy smokes $180 a month. I was wondering if I am missing something or there are further deals with Dish. Many years ago they offered a free month if you prepaid 1 year bill at a time. I did that for several yrs. I doubt many took them up on that offer. Rob

My Dish bill is really getting up there. It has been creeping up for years and now with tax at $161.00 a month. I have two receivers 722's with The Everything 250+HD Package+HBO/SHOWTIME/CINEMAX/STARZ. Also have two packs of locals. Are others paying this high. I have no conract with them...

Got a postcard in the mail from dish for being a good customer. If I commit to another two years I can get 235.00 in credits or 320.00 in credits plus another hddvr receiver. (says 6.00 a month dvr charges I currently have the everything package with two dvrs-the vip722 on both. I was...

I just got my 722 units this week. I have one 722 in my bedroom. My wife turned it off/pulled the plug at night because she says it is constantly making noise. Is this so? My old receiver a few years ago used to do the same thing and I had to pull the plug every night. My last on the 501 did not...

I think it is the DPP twin. Is a switch that much? $199.00 or can I get one for a lesser price? Rob

The installer told me he wants 99.00 for the extra room plus I need a new switch for another $200.00. YIKES. I took a pass on that. $300.00 to add a room..wow Is that true that I need a $200.00 switch added to this system. So far I have two 722 units. Rob

I am in South Fla. I am 99% sure these are subs that do install work for Dish. My parents had one sub that was not the greatest. I helped them finish setup with the equipment etc. I have a fmaily room on the first floor that I would like to wire. It is about 30 feet or so away from my other...

I have an installer coming tomm to set up the 722 units and install the hd dish. I was thinking about asking him to wire and additional room for me to put one of my old 501s in that room. What is the going rate for that (cost of extra room) Appreciate any info. Hopefully I get a decent...

How do you do it? Do you just set two shows to record at the same time? I personally have a OTA. I guess the OTA needs to hook into the 722 receiver. rob

If AEP is the Exverthing Pak I already have that. He did not mention that AEP will bypass the DVR fees. Thanks for the info. I think I will do the ethernet hookup..I have one of those powerline adapters so I can use one of them for downstairs and run a wire for my other unit. Rob

Does the Dish 622 have the ability to watch a LIVE show and record another live show at the same time? My parents have the 622 and they have no clue. I looked briefly at their manual and didnt catch it myself. Appreciate any info on this. What are the recording capabilies while watching...
