Thanks for the very prompt reply. It sounds like it is no longer possible to just pay for locals plus HBO as it was a few years ago. I think at that rate I'll just cut the cord completely. Any idea if I put the account on "pause" whether I could still access HBO Go (which links to my Dish...

I have been a (mostly) happy Dish subscriber since Voom went "boom". I still have a 622, which is on lease. The thing is, I barely ever watch TV any more. And the little I do watch is usually HBO (usually through HBO GO). I was looking and found an old thread about getting just locals and...

Woot.com has refurb Galaxy Tab 7" tablets for $259 (Sprint 3G, but you don't have to activate and can use as WiFi only). Quick question: would this work for Dishonline? I only have a 622 box so no Sling. Thanks, CDH.

I just switched to Latino Max (from Absolute) and found the same problem. My solution will be to create different favorites lists with a separate one for "audio", but then again we only have two people in my household and we only watch a limited number of channels. It does seem like a silly...

Well... it was fun while it lasted. I bit the bullet and called. I went to Latino Max $52.99 - $10/month for a year = $42.99, including free Platinum and Starz for a year. They also eliminated the $5 "TV2 Connection fee" so I'm ending up about $8/month more, and slightly more than that...

That was a JOKE. "Free OTA for Life" - get it?

Argh. Count me as another HD Absolute customer who thought the party would never end. I liked the cheap package, and didn't need lots of channels. Heck, even if I paid $5 per channel a-la-carte for those I actually watch I'd come out under $40/month. I'd go to Dish America Bronze but a few...

I called the main Dish Network customer service number. I'll try calling back and seeing if they made a mistake on the $15 charge in my case, but they seemed clear I'd have to pay it. CDH.

I just got off the phone scheduling a move and the cost is only going to be $15, though I'm keeping my same (622) receiver for now. They said something about my being a "five star customer", whatever that means. Once I'm settled I'll probably upgrade to a 922 but that'll cost me $200 plus...

All as expected. Any word on what defines the $200 vs. $400 price for "upgrade"? I'm an existing customer not under contract. Would love to upgrade my 622 to a 922, at $200 I can probably justify, $400 less so. CDH.

I'll be trying for the same thing, though for various reasons I probably won't be trying until mid-June. My guess is there will be a one-time "lease fee", and it could be hefty - $200? (I have no basis for estimating this other than that I seem to remember that has been the going rate for...

Hey this is perfect timing! I should be moving to a new house in April, and had been hoping to get a 922 as part of the move. However it'll probably come down to two choices: 1. set up a new account at the new address and get a 922 (I've been out of contract for ages and my wife could set up...

There are people on the board with the expertise on how to do wiring, but you can run HD off a 622 or 722 to two TVs by using both the Component and HDMI outputs. Of course both TVs have to watch the same thing. To get different HD programming on two TVs you will, so far as I understand, need...

Absolutely! Me too! Though... when I move to a new house later this year I'd be very tempted to get a 922 and whatever sling devices allow me to send HD programming to other locations in the house. If that means I have to switch to a different package I may be tempted. CDH.

Follow-up: I called DishNetwork again and asked about being moved to Eastern Arc because I couldn't get LOS for 110/119 at today's service call. They were very agreeable and immediately set up an appointment for a Field Service Manager to come out to do that - including a pole-mount - for...

I'm not going to try to get someone in trouble. I had Dishnetwork send me out someone who declared "service isn't possible." Calling the local guy was my decision to try to keep Dish Network rather than going to cable or DirecTV. The *easiest* solution would be to start a new account - and my...

I've just moved - into a rental house while I build my next home - and wanted to keep my Dish service: HD Absolute with 110/119/61.5 going to a single 622. I set up Dishmover over the phone, and they sent someone out today. He couldn't get Line of Sight to 110/119 due to large trees. It...

Pall Mall, That is very helpful. I'll see if I can do this on my own. Thanks, CDH.

I'm looking for something like this: North American Cable Equipment Inc. But I can't find a way to order anything like this. CDH.

Thanks for the help. If they'll let me do "Dish mover" without a commitment then that is great. Does anyone know where I can buy a rail-mount? I'm looking into doing without the cinder-block or concrete-bucket and mounting to a deck railing. Thanks, CDH.

I've got the (now) old HD Absolute plan on Dish Network. I like it, especially the price. The thing is, I've sold my house and I've got to move into a rental house for a period of several months while our next house is built. I imagine that I'd have to get a concrete-filled bucket with a...

Let me put in a word and say as a non-sports watcher (other than International soccer and track & field) I'm disappointed they folded the RSNs into the new packs rather than made them an optional a la carte option. Not everyone wants to have to pay for these expensive channels. This is...

Actually although there isn't a lease fee for the first receiver on newer accounts, some of us seem to have older policies on our accounts because we upgraded to the 622 on a promotion (I think it was $99 for me on top of the $250 I'd paid for the 942, as opposed to the going rate of $199 for...

Yeah. I sent an email to CEO @ E* just to see what is up. I realize that even though I paid an up-front fee for both the 942 and the 622 and then $7/month, I received a subsidized unit. But so are new customers. It is frustrating to find that if someone else were to establish new service...

I see these folks coming up with $40.97 for the "dish HD" (now apparently "dish Absolute") pack. My bill is higher because of a $7/month leased receiver fee. Is this something I can get removed from my bill? I've had a 622 since soon after they were released (can't remember when!), upgraded...
