I am planning a new install with four old Bell 9242 PVRs (ViP622). Each DVR will be for only one room to allow PiP (Picture-in-Picture), but four rooms (and runs) in total. Would like to use a black Dish 1000.2 reflector for aesthetics, but don’t know if a Dish 500 with a DishPro Plus Quad LNBF...

I've googled / searched local satellite installers to death. Dish seemed to have killed them all locally.

Whatcom County, Washington

I'm curious how one would find a local installer (who may work for Dish or DirecTV) in 2020 to do sidework / side hustle? I need to do a pole mount install, because of line of sight, for a new Bell ExpressVu system.

The one time we really want Charlie fighting the fight. Curious if Disney will try to punish Sling TV (Orange package) over this. Hoping the other streaming providers see blood in the water.

A few rebuttal points. Retentions did express that the pause credits would happen after the fact when service was restored. In saying this, I didn't trust that the account wouldn't be shipped to some collections entity if I allowed the pause and late fees to pile up for nine months. The billing...

So I called and canceled. I asked the rep to tell me what the notes reflected and of course they didn't match what was promised to me. The free 722k receiver would be owned by myself, but the DVR fees would only be waived for a year. When I heard this I had to tell the rep over and over to...

So I called to cancel my meager Welcome Pack that wasn't used for years at a secondary residence. Retentions begged me to stay, promised me the world, and paused my service for nine months. I expressed concern that the pause costs me money ($5) and I didn't plan on paying this to 'stay'...

I want to move my expensive Welcome Pack to a fixed location (not traveling RV) that doesn't have a street / numbered address. I already have the dish up and running, just being anal for Dish's billing system. I can provide the street name, city, and zip code, but not a number since postal...

I've got the Welcome Pack right now with locals. I don't use the account at all, it's a backup source for television. It looks like the loyalty folks can offer the Welcome Pack again without locals, http://www.satelliteguys.us/dish-network-forum/268744-welcome-package-during-agreement-term.html...

Get a CommDeck installed I'm surprised no one has mentioned it yet. The roofers should install a weatherproof RSTC CommDeck to mount your dish.

Okay, I have a new roof going up. I mean everything will be brand new, like plywood and insulation. I'm being proactive and having an electrician bring coax and grounding to the CommDecks with all the runs going to a closet for the time being. I need some advice with how many cables should go to...

I want it with a lesser package, like the Welcome Pack where Keith was on MSNBC. I already knew it was available on a higher end tier. I thought Dish could try to sell it on its own. I'm sure Countdown will also be pumped into the ol' Roku.

Maybe Dish could provide Current TV a la carte since it's not part of a multinational media empire (which require multiple channel bundling)? I know a lot of folks that lean towards the left are eager for Countdown with Keith Olbermann, but don't have or want America's Top 200 to get it.

Okay I have the Welcome Pack with locals and I'm grandfathered into ala carte EuroNews on 118.7° I'd like to drop the locals, but keep my ala carte EuroNews, to save $5. Any advice so that my account doesn't get screwed up? Wow, did Dish increase EuroNews by a buck, wasn't it $1.99 before...

They announced the new TiVos coming out through Best Buy already. Apple pulls this crap all the time trying to dump existing stock prior to launching an update / upgrade. They've already slipped up and placed Premiere documentation in an outgoing order, read up at the TiVo Community forums...

They did have an office on-site this year though, but TiVo doesn't always have a booth at CES. On another note, Best Buy will have a TiVo with a new interface soon. Charlie should have bought ReplayTV when he could have to deal with patent issues.

DISH 1000 Plus / 1000+ A DISH 1000 Plus / 1000+ would give you 110°, 118.7°, 119°, and 129°. 118.7° is where most of the international programming resides. eBay has the best deals with regards to this DISH, but make sure you bid on one with a bundled DISH Pro Plus 44 switch.

A POTS / landline connection now only helps to avoid an audit. Again, no more phone fees.

The phone line / POTS situation doesn't matter anymore after February 1, 2010. You will only pay for a second receiver. You may be more of a target though for the DISH Audit Nazis. Did you mean the 322 receiver?

From what I saw at CES, the 922 guide is totally worth it.

Okay, not trying to be anal, but wanting to learn. Will the receivers update their software without a smart card? I realize some units have the current encryption built-in, but my 501 came with a yellow card, which was mailed back to DISH prior to the receiver being hooked up to my dish and LNB.

Swapping 501 out My heart be still, I got two CSRs from North America! I added DHPP with a billing CSR. I would have done it online, but I got nervous the crappy billing system would add $5 more because it was under the site's programming additions. The technical support guy made me go through...

Nice, I already sent the old yellow card back. The receivers absolutely won't receive software updates without a smart card?

I bought a 501 receiver with a yellow card off of eBay. The puppy booted, but of course it couldn't be activated without a new N3 purple card. After receiving a new card from DISH, I placed it in the receiver, but all I got was a blank / black screen. Turning the box on without the card...
