    Dish Pricing Update

    That appears to me to be $15 x 5 for your 5 additional 622's minus $5 x5 for having those receivers connected to a phone line or internet + $6 dvr fee, when before you were paying $7 x 5 for additional receivers and $0 dvr fee. It appears you will pay a $31 increase, is this correct Scott? If...

If you want a dvr without locals, you have to add $5.98, after Feb 1, the dvr fee will be $6.00 weather you have locals or not and their will no...

    Dish Pricing Update

    No, because that $6 dvr fee will soon be per account and not per receiver. That $10 for a 612 is if it is an extra dvr receiver and does not aplie if it is your primary receiver. Remember the programing package price includes 1 receiver at no additional charge, those charges on Scott's list are...

    Dish Pricing Update

    Not necesarly, unless you have AEP with that receiver as an extra, you will be getting a $2 - 2.98 decrease depending if you have locals or not. If you get any AT w/DVR pack which includes locals you were paying $12 ($7 + 5), now it is just $10. If you were getting an AT pack without locals or...

    Chattanooga HD locals yet?

    If you just had your system installed this summer, I would have thought that the installers would have already placed you on the Eastern arc of 61.5, 72.7 and 79, but if they had you should be getting Chattanooga HD locals, they were turned on several months ago. Since they may have aimed your...

    Chattanooga HD locals yet?

    What satellites are you looking at? Chattanooga, NBC 3.1, CBS 12.1 and Fox 61.1, are on the satellite at 61.5. If you are on the Western arc, you are seeing 110, 119 and 129, but not 61.5. That is likely why you are not getting your HD locals, SD locals are on 110 spotbeam in mpeg2 and on 61.5...

    Dish Programming Changes (Effective August 1st)

    Yes that's correct, however if I am not mistaken, if that customer decides not to take the new HD&Platinum package, he will be grandfathered in at least for now and pay the same rate. If that customer decides he wants the new package, he will then give up his grandfathered status and pay that...

    Dish Programming Changes (Effective August 1st)

    No you are mistaken in your math, yes AEP is $97.99 + locals $5 = $102.99 then add $10 for HD & Platinum for a total of $112.99. Yes Classic Gold 250 with DVR and locals are $67.99. Yes HD & Platinum is $10. However you still get bundled pricing for the movie packages, just not for HD and...

    Encore HD

    When *E first put up the channels in the TurboHD add ons, in addition to the channels already mentioned they also showed the HD premiums in the AEP w/HD Gold pack, now they do not show them, and just show the same incomplete list of HD channels in AT150 w/HD Gold. Maybe E* will get these...

    Channels In the new TURBO HD pkgs

    Click on attached file in very first post in this thread, it shows what channels goes to what package, and Encore East HD is listed under HD Gold. I was surprised to see this too for the reason you stated, but it appears E* decided to include it in TurboHD Gold and AT250w/HD Gold. I will be...

    Channels In the new TURBO HD pkgs

    As already mentioned, no surprise hear except Encore E HD will come with Turbo HD Gold and AT250 w/HD Gold, since the SD Encore in AT250 is the West feed and the Starz pack has the SD Encore E. Given this info, I would not be surprised to see Encore E HD in the Starz pack too. If this is the...

    Why does Dish keep adding/removing MOJO on a TEMP channel?

    Just speculation on my part, but MoJo may be insisting that E* carry them in their most basic HD tier (HD Essentials or afterand 8/1 Bronz, Silver or Gold) E* probably wants to place MoJo in their upgrade HD tier (Ultimate or after 8/1 Platinum).

    You might also want to run some conduit from your roof to your distribution panel, this way if your needs change in the future you can easily add or subtract cables easily as needed. I too plan on building a new home in the next year or so and this is what I plan on doing. I am also thinking of...

    No, nothing will change for you except the name of your HD pack. It depends on weather those who currently have HD Absolute want their local rsn or not. If they do, weather or not they are willing to either give up some channels to get them or pay a lltle more and give up less channels or pay...

    DTVPal is not your Pal!

    I wasted one of my cards on one of those $49.99 Magnavox junk box's at Wal-Mart. I ordered a DTVPal on Thursday, it is worth it to me to pay more for a better box. Just because their are cheaper converter box's out their does not mean they are any good, remember you get what you pay for.

    Eastern Arc

    Remember, since the EA will be an all mpeg 4 service, only subs with only VIP receivers on their accounts will be able to take advantage of the EA one dish solution. Those subs who have a mixture of legacy and VIP receivers will still need a 2nd dish for 110 and 119 since legacy receivers can...

    They do get the digital channels automatically on the same contract as the analog channels once they are turned off. Not all digital channels will be down-rez, just some not all of the ones in HD.

    You mean like this, Screw Cleveland, Indianapolis, Norfolk, Walla Walla, Buffalo, and whoever else doesn't have local HDs. All I care about is MY Chattanooga locals.
