    Thinking about leaving Dish for Cable.

    I had the 8300SD DVR from TW... It was a piece of junk I had it less than a day it kept on rebooting. TWC offered to swap it for another, I said I'll save some $ and just get the regular box. I have 3 3250's in my house and they work like a charm. Altho I think one is on the fritz (making weird...

    811 is a POS...

    Kind of off topic... My question is why do Cable and Satellite companys supply you with buggy equipment that doesn't work as advertised? Just decided to get Digital cable through TW and the DVR that was supplied kept rebooting. I wound up switching it for a regular box. My thing is: These...

    My Charter Cable "Alternative"

    :eek: How did you get that so cheap from TW? I just signed up for the digital cable package with roadrunner. Right now we have all the premiums but we're going to change that. I only have the one digital box that came with the plan and an additional DVR. No HD, no premiums on demand.. We're...

    Having Dish installed tomorrow

    I'm going to call the cable company tomorrow to see if I can get the price down a bit. I really don't need all the premiums. The only thing I really watch is Sopranos on HBO which isn't that big of a deal for me. Since I last had Digital cable (May 2004) they've added a lot of stuff. They have...

    Having Dish installed tomorrow

    We called cancelled, it's not worth the aggravation. We got a package from the cable company for Road Runner digital cable, DVR, 4 Premiums for 141/mo. Tomorrow I'm going to call and try to knock down the the price by taking off the preminums. Going to cancel DSL to, just not fast enough for...

    Having Dish installed tomorrow

    Episode # 2: The installer actually shows up today. That's a plus. I was throughly impressed with the guy though. He cannot be much older than me (21) He walked me through the whole job, explained everything. When he seen I had run my own wires for cable, he explained why he was replacing one...

    Having to cancel Dish, I'm not happy

    One thing I have to say about cable companies. In my experence with Time Warner in New York they always come on time. Unlike my experience with Dish.

    Having Dish installed tomorrow

    I'm not pissed at the installer himself, although a phone call would have been nice. I'm sure with the way dish gives out installs they probably over book the installer. I used to work for a large DJ service where I used to set up a system before the DJ would proform. My boss would book me to...

    Having Dish installed tomorrow

    Don't even have the service yet and already disatisfied. Installer never showed today. Called customer service, they couldn't get a hold of the dispatch office yadda yadda. CSR tried telling they can show up until 9 PM (what idiot is going to climb a ladder in the dark) wound leaving today's...

    Having Dish installed tomorrow

    Bird, Thanx for the information. I already have a wireless network installed with a Linksys WRT54G. I currently have it set up for Road Runner and I'm wondering what settings I'll have to change for DSL. I tried my DSL tech support line which tells me to hit the reset on the back of the router.

    Having to cancel Dish, I'm not happy

    As a consumer, I think the free equipment is a good deal. Back when a friend of mine purchased the dish and receivers I thought he was crazy spending well over $500. In my eyes why spend that much when you can spend nothing to get cable boxes. Just pay the month leasing same as you pay with dish.

    Having Dish installed tomorrow

    Thank you for the replies and welcome. I'm hoping since I ordered through my phone company the telephone guy installs it. I went to school with his son, and he'll run all new wires for me. I'm probably dreaming though as Dish will probably send their own guy. Wobbie, I'm getting the Dual-DVR...

    Having Dish installed tomorrow

    Hi All, I've been surfing around here for a couple of days, posted a few comments. I have a couple of questions, I'm basically satellite stupid. :) We decided to switch to Dish after calling my telco to order DSL. They offered a package deal for phone/dsl/dish which was hard to pass up...
