    No more dish for me.

    I have got to replenish my money supply so I can get Dish back. Cable is so stupid here, They are still using the SA 8300hd explorer box. talk about a piece of crap. but alas, i spent just about every dime I had getting everything done to get this house, so I have to deal with it for a few...

    No more dish for me.

    I am just going to let cable install for now. Then this summer when I get the time, I may throw together some dishes and some cable and see if I can get it to work. Our market is western arc only. I will take some pics from the house to give you an idea of what I am dealing with. I would be...

    No more dish for me.

    we walked around the yard together for 30-40 minutes trying to find a spot, every spot in my yard, I thought we might have a chance, the neighbor had a tree right there that blocked at least one of the sats. usually 2. I was pretty sure this was going to be case when we bought the place, but we...

    No more dish for me.

    Time Warner maybe. they are having issues too. the house has never had cable either. so they are trying to get the cable to the house and it seems like they should be able to, after all there is power and phone service to the house, and there cable service runs right in front of the house. so...

    No more dish for me.

    After 8 great years with Dish, I will not be able to continue my service. After the installer tried to find a spot to get line of sight, there is just nowhere on my new property to get service. mainly do to the neighbors trees. I am really going to miss my dish service, here is to hoping...

    Feeling a little sorry for the installer when I move

    The room addition was done outside the original basement, there is a new room under it, but they drywalled the ceiling in that room so unless I want to cut into it then taking it outside is about the only option.it will be quick, easy and the wires will be hidden, except on the side of the house...

    Feeling a little sorry for the installer when I move

    Here is part of the plan, the people that lived there before us, had an obsession with phone jacks. I have no need for a home phone, so this is going to be a follow the wire, yank it out, drill the hole larger and run coax situation. I pretty much have every room planned out at this point...

    Feeling a little sorry for the installer when I move

    The house was built in the 1950s, there was some remodeling, but no pre wiring, we bought it when it was almost complete, minus just a couple things. all wiring will be able to be either on the far side of the house, where no one can see it from anywhere unless they walk to that side, which has...

    Feeling a little sorry for the installer when I move

    Well we are almost done getting our new house ready so I am going to upgrade my system to 2 hoppers and 3 joey's. Only thing is I am pretty sure that the dish is going to have to be about 100' from the house to get a signal. if they can get a signal at all where I am moving too. and then the...

    Getting ready to move soon.

    Our market is WA, locals are on 129 if I remember right. I am going to see what it would cost to upgrade and just have them come out and see if we can get a signal. maybe we can with just knocking down a couple small trees.

    Getting ready to move soon.

    I am getting ready to move soon, and I noticed an issue with the new place. There are a lot of trees, mostly to the south of the house, and in looking at it I am pretty sure that I will not be able to get a signal from all three satellites. This really sucks, but the house we are moving into...

    Dish Anywhere.com Beta

    Mine shows as a 722k, which is right, but my 922 shows as a 722s. It works fine, just the nickname is not there, or the correct name.

    TV2 Freezes

    I have had mine about a year. One month it is flawless and works great, I love those months. The next month the thing is horrible, I have no clue how that could be, but that is how it is. I am so considering Direct, after about 8 years with Dish. Just at some point you have to decide if you...

    TV2 Freezes

    Well now my 922 has started to make TV2 freeze and not show anything, takes a reboot to make it work. TV1 acts just fine. Seriously trying to decide whether to upgrade to a couple Hoppers or just dropped dish all together, the $200 fee, and 2 years of commitment have me on the fence. One...

    DISH's VIP922 is Back!

    Not sure you can get another one. I currently have a 922 and a 722k, the 922 is leased and the 722k is owned, I was told I could not add another 922 to my account. I was hoping to because the little kids do not have any trouble navigating the blockbuster stuff on the 922, but they cannot do it...

    3 MONTHS FREE PLAYBOY

    I wish I had some offers, I have not seen any offers in my account ever that I can recall. I would probably go for this one. Even the wife liked the channel when we had it years ago, I bet she would want to keep it once she got to see it some again.

    Will 922 Ever Get Blockbuster At Home

    I thought I would connect with Dish on chat just to see what they had going on. I asked about the Blockbuster on the 922, first thing I was told was you can't get a 922 because of the Blockbuster issues. Well I already have one so that did not help. So thought I would ask if I was under...

    How To Section

    Do we have a how to section on Satelliteguys. If not is it something that anyone else feels would be beneficial. I know I have many new features that I was not aware of by reading the threads here and thought that it would be cool if they was all in one place like in a sub forum and then...

    Got rid of Premium channels because of crazy PPV charges

    Matt and I have came to a mutually agreeable solution. I have asked him to set the PPV limit to zero as well. I have no intentions of ordering PPV at the prices that Dish charges so hopefully that will fix all my issues. Now to come up with 200 bucks to get a couple Hoppers and I will be...
