    1/2 Off HBO/Cinemax six months.

    Just chatted with a CSR online through Dish.com and activated the programming. Thanks for the heads up!

    1/2 Off HBO/Cinemax six months.

    Is this available for all current Dish subs? I just logged in to Dish.com and didn't see it under offers. Can any DIRTs out there clarify?

    If Dish charges $1.99 per network, how much would your programming cost?

    If I could absolutely every channel the family watches with frequency, I'd probably wind up paying $5 more than what I currently pay.

    Cancelling Showtime Half Off For Six Months

    I signed up for this offer and have paid through March. After realizing there weren't any Showtime on-demand or online viewing through Dish or my internet provider, I'm attempting to cut off this part of my subscription after the first month is over. I changed my programming online, but the...

    Thinking about dumping BB@Home

    Let it go. You can always get it back at a later time. I recently dropped BB@Home and took on the HBO 1/2 price for six months. Plus I'm watching HBO Go and a lot of Netflix. Once the HBO offer is up, I'll probably resume disc rental with Netflix.

    Dish/Windstream Subs Offer

    I have a Dish/Windstream bundle in Western New York. A postcard came in the mail from Windstream offering phone, internet and a free Roku player in a $41.99/mo package for one year. I already have phone and internet with Windstream "For Life" for $54/mo and asked a CSR about the package. If I...

    I Was This Close To Jumping Ship...

    Good on you! Since moving to my current home 11 years ago: I started with Time Warner Cable and stuck with it for two years. I moved to Dish for 3 years. Needed to save money and went with a TW package for a year. I've been back with Dish ever since.

    I Was This Close To Jumping Ship...

    I just dug a little deeper and found I could add Heartland package for $5/mo. So, all in all, I lost BB@Home and the extra channels. Gained HBO and the On-demand for HBO and made my wife happy. I'm paying $3 more a month. Small price.

    I Was This Close To Jumping Ship...

    Oh yeah! I knew about it through the DVR (already booking viewings of True Blood, Game Of Thrones and Eastbound And Down). Didn't even think about Roku! Very cool...

    I Was This Close To Jumping Ship...

    I've been antsy lately and came close to going back to Time Warner this week. After more than a year of knocking little bits from my programming (cutting out HBO and Showtime, tiering down to Dish America and one HD receiver, Blockbuster At Home) I'm at a price point I'm comfortable with. I...

    Looks Like Lin is back!

    I'm mostly thinking in terms of the upcoming basketball tournament. I don't watch CBS much, but for the tourney and NFL. Ultimately, I'll catch as much as I can on TBS and TNT. The rest I'll watch online if I have to.

    Looks Like Lin is back!

    Can a network like CBS apply some pressure to either LIN or Dish?

    FX now apart of Top 120?

    Well, I'll try to watch as much "Archer" as I can while it is up. Hooray!

    ...presuming the channels come back. I'm just getting into the Fox dispute thread. Yikes.

    Statement from DISH - Not Getting the New HD?

    I don't know if Intertech serves your area. If they do, give them a call and they might be able to get the wheels turning at Dish.

    Statement from DISH - Not Getting the New HD?

    Also, I wouldn't have asked for the change in satellite dishes had it not been for all the pioneers on SatelliteGuys that detailed their experiences. I didn't get any runaround from the CSR. He only put me on hold for a few minutes and came back with the $15 installation fee and a next day...

    Statement from DISH - Not Getting the New HD?

    I've never really been clear on whether or not it is possible to go all HD without one of the base packages. At any rate, the new set up is nice. We have one HD television with the original 622 that transmits to the bedroom. The new 722 is in the basement on a TV/DVD set and also transmits to...

    Statement from DISH - Not Getting the New HD?

    The installation went well. New dish on the garage, switched out the old 322 for a 722 duo receiver. Tech replaced the old cables. All is well and I'm watching a Monty Python movie on Retro.
