    DISH to offer Locals in all 210 DMA's

    I remembered about nine years back when Dish started to carry my locals, as I was in the process of cancelling basic cable service for locals, that the cable company advised me after closing my account that I would not have any local channels; I advise them that Dish is now carrying my locals...

    DISH Network/Weather Channel Reach Renewal Agreement

    How much is it really going to cost us? Lets see now, the Weather Channel claim earlier that the original cost negotiations with Dish was equivalent to just 1 cent per subscriber more, and could not understand the problem; I wonder how much it is really going to cost us? :rolleyes:

    DISH Network Launches (Then Removes) The Weather Cast

    Hate to reflect on my age, but back when men were men, and cars had vertical tail fins, all the weather was presented by the ladies (referred to as tomatoes). :D I hope that this new weather channel provides some eye candy presenters. Weather maps are boring. :tux:

    Free HD for Life?

    Thanks YAZ96, I know that the fee has always been there for downgrading, and now with the no waiver as you mention in the tread; But my penny a year for Cinemax, and yes even my Voom pack had no fee as such. It’s the reason that with this HD grandfather clause for existing customers, and with...

    Free HD for Life?

    I am guessing that existing customers who were subscribing to the $10/mo. “HD & Platinum”, and are grandfathered into “HD Free for Life”, who then decide to cancel the Platinum portion to enjoy the free HD will be charge a $5 fee for downgrading?

    Maybe E-6 accidently pulled the ground connection off of E-12 as it was maneuvering? :D

    More HD to move from 61.5 to 72.7?

    Respect your elders! Just because I grew up using the Abacus and graduated to the Slide Rule, (this was of course before the age of electronic calculators), I am quite capable of using my laptop to surf the net while enjoying my “Senior Price” cup of coffee at McDonalds.:)

    Statement from DISH - Not Getting the New HD?

    That’s great Scott; now if Charlie will just seriously consider your views and suggestions he will have a much better running company. I am surprised that he has not offered you a position or at least hire you as an outside consultant like many companies do to improve their operations. :):up

    More HD to move from 61.5 to 72.7?

    Discount HD PAK price There was a time when you would receive a discount from the normal price of local network channels, if you did not get all your network locals when ordering local channels. I was just wondering if Dish should reduce our HD bill to compensate us, due to the fact that...

    More HD to move from 61.5 to 72.7?

    I agree, I already had paid for 61.5 in the past to get HD; that fact should at least provide a free upgrade to me and perhaps to the " small group of customers" that are affected :confused:

    Bill went up after adding free hbo/startz

    I had the same thing happen to me, the changes in the subscriptions and the charges. You would think that these people in the accounting department are graduates of "AIG" accounting school? I can understand showing the charge, and then showing a credit for the exact amount with the "net"...

    Insane Dish Hardware Upgrade via Phone Conversation?

    I agree with you that this is a decision made by E*; “The revenue lost by losing customers together with the cost of the overhead of operating the audit division is justified by the bean counters :tux: at E* because it increases the overall revenue of the company.” :rolleyes: :confused:
