But while we're talking about this, what on earth does Dish do with the old LNBs?

I called today, said I couldn't get them, and they said "forgettabouta". Thanks all for your input. I will say I didn't expect this thread to become as active as it did!

I do have the operator ID (although not name) and notes from the call. No recording. There were 2 dishes...a Dish 500 and a Dish 300. These are so damn old I can't believe they have any value. Thanks for the reply.

Am I screwed? The story: I switched to D* last week. I had no particular beef with Dish, except that I am a Red Sox fan and their station (NESN) is not available on Dish in HD -- and it wasn't looking like it was going to be added anytime soon. Meanwhile, Directv has been running some...

Got this message from NESN yesterday... Thank you for your recent email regarding NESN HD on Dish Network. NESN has talked to Dish Network about carrying NESN’s HD programming. Dish Network has made a decision not to carry NESN HD at this time. Thanks for watching NESN...

I'll happily change my clocks to get more daylight in the evening versus early AM.

I didn't even catch that...pretty funny stuff.

See attachment for email I just received. How can they get away with this kind of totally false statement? The best part is...they don't even OFFER HD in my area. None. Can't get it. I will be watching the game in HD, thanks Dish!

Didn't even realize this was an option. I never even lok at my paper bill, so I just signed up. One less envelope to chuck! However, I do agree that the consumer should have the choice.

I have tried just cancelling out, sometimes several times, but to no avail. I've not noticed any patterns...

Very aggravating problem with my 622. From time to time (maybe once a week on average) I will get a "problem detected with your switch, please run check switch" error on ONLY the HD stations that I get from 61.5. That is most notably, the Vooms and my HD locals. As I write this, I can't...

Holy run on sentence Batman! You may consider switching to decaf! :D :D :D

There is probably a name for this phenomenon, but i don't know it so I'll describe. This year, I've noticed that watching Red Sox games on NESN I repeatedly get a very herky-jerky picture...it almost looks as if I'm watching the game with a stobe light. Sometimes switching from TV1 to TV2 or...

They just showed up inexplicably. Hopefully they will stay there. Thanks all for your input.

61.5 is at 100 on transponder 20.

My eagerly awaited day has arrived, and I now have my 622 installed. Installer says as he's leaving, you don;t have all the stations yet but they are "downloading now" (whatever that means) and they will all be available in 30 minutes or so. 5 hours later I call tech support because they...

This may be a stupid question, but why do you care if you have a Dish 1000 vs. your 2 existing dishes?

I'll tell you why philhu. Because not everyone in the Boston DMA can get them OTA or from cable. I'm in Worcester County -- (an hour and 10 minutes by car to downtown Boston w/o traffic) and have no other source for HD content than satellite. I've been waiting a long time for this.

ttt for one last question...do you guys think that I should call dish to request upgraded switch / lnb or just speak to the installer when he calls?

OK. Do I need to contact Dish now to request this, or should I just take it up with the installer when he contacts me to confirm our appointment?

Thanks Randall! I knew I could get the answer here. One more question... I have ordered a 622 that will replace BOTH the 501 and 6000 (I have both installed on my main TV, one for SD viewing and DVR, the other for HD). When it finally arrives, will the 622 need two sets of input to feed the...

301 and 6000 say: SW21 3-SAT. 501 says: 500 QUAD

Hi all, This may be a very stupid question, but I'm trying to learn. I have a dish 500 with 2 LNBs and a Dish 300 with 1. There are one or more switches present but no idea what this/these are. I have 3 receivers: 6000, 501 DVR, and a 301. The 6000 and the 301 get signal from 61.5, 110...

I didn't realize annual billing was an option. Is programming discounted if you pay this way?

I'll bet the entire farm he gets a 211.
