Just like Judge Judy says, If there's a written contract, any verbal agreements have no meaning - and - If it not within the four corners of a written contract, then it does not exist. The only way to have been absolutely sure to receive a 922 for free was to have it listed on the contract...

How about running a chain through the mounting pole, mounting arm and dish mount with a padlock? It may provide a visual deterent. Good luck.

Thanks for the info STEELERSRULE. I went to my software update menu page and checked the "Ask Before Downloading" selection. Maybe yours is different. I think I'll use up most of my GDMP before the end of the month. Then on the 31st, I'll use the last amount and order a weeks worth of Starz...

From past experience, I found that Dish does make their software updates on the weekends. The system is usually back up around 10 AM Eastern on Monday morning. As for the Dish Now program being terminated, the information so far has been vague and indirect. I'll continue to use my system with...

I read somewhere that certain areas of the country don't allow adult programming from satellites and that's why the satellite company asks for your zip code. They need to know where you're located and if they (Dish Network) should block the adult programming based on your zip code. I don't...

Were both receivers up and running good and then that one receiver couldn't be used or has there always been a problem with that one receiver? If that one receiver has never worked, it may be it has never been properly authorized. If it has worked properly and then stopped, has there been any...

Disconnect the antenna cable from the back of the receiver and see if the problem continues. If the problems stops, it maybe a short in the cable or a bad lnb at the dish. Good luck.

What color smartcard do you have? The yellow card (old - will be outdated shortly) or the purple card (new - needed for the new encryption scheme). Also, you have spoke to some ignorant CSRs concerning Dish Now. As for the amount on a Green Dot Card, I listen to how many days I can get for...

The final update--success at last! I received my second G3 card. Actually, it was obvious that it wasn't new. There were scratches all over it and you could see definite contact slide marks on the bottom side. But I figure if it came out of a good unit, it might work in mine. I inserted...

DNASP reads 206 DSH 725. I wrote that down before the whole card swap story started and its still the same. However, the Loc ID has changed. But I don't think the Loc ID is a direct readout of a receiver's actual physical location. My subscribed 301 receiver has a totally different Loc ID...

Here's an update of my smartcard saga. Yesterday, I made another attempt to activate my new smartcard. I installed the new card and again got the message #129 (Your receiver is not yet authorized....). I called the automated number several times, went to option 3 (activate new smartcard)...

I have tried several things without positive results. My paid programming was up yesterday so I experimented some. At midnight last night, I put the new card in and the normal 129 message came up. I then left it that way all night hoping the nightly data updates would download the...

Here are the exact procedures on the instruction paper included with my new smartcard: 1. Locate front panel on receiver ---Flip open the front panel on the left side of your receiver ---Remove old smartcard from the receiver 2. Insert new purple smartcard ---Firmly insert the NEW purple...

I received my new smartcard today. Things did not go well. It arrived UPS 2nd Day Air. Instruction paper was included but no $40 Dish card (wasn't really expecting one). Followed instructions, replaced card (current card was a "red" smartcard) and paper indicated I should get Error Message...

Do you have an Auto Volume feature on your TV? I have an RCA set with this feature (selected thru the settings menu) and it does a pretty good job at keep a constant volume level even when the commercials come on blasting. Good luck.

I tried the "Pressing 0" option at the 1-4 selection but I kept getting the "This is not an applicable option" and was automatically disconnected. There wasn't any opportunity for me to go to a CSR from there. Maybe they've changed that technique. That's why I took the other route. I didn't...

Yesterday, when I changed channels on my HBO programming, a #359 message would come up saying that I needed a new smartcard by April 8 or I would lose programming. It also had a phone number to call. I called the number but that number was for people who already had accounts. So I went...

It sounds like the easiest thing to do is: 1. Have your friend get a Dish Now Pre-paid receiver/dish and buy the programming using a Dish Now card or a Green Dot card. No personal information is needed. 2. Or put a second receiver on your account and then have your friend send the check...

It could be. In your original post, when you said your card had a purple stripe, I assumed it was the new card which is purple. But if you have the yellow card, that's the ones getting replaced because of the new encryption Dish is bringing on line. Since you just got this at Radio Shack...

If your first-time activation was not successful, then your receiver does not know its suppose to become a Dish Now receiver. Without the initial first-time activation signal from the satellite, your receiver does not know which software updates to obtain and install. The basic program guide...

When you did the first-time activation using the required computerized system, did you have any problems? Is the problem that you can't get the programming you paid for using your PIN number through the computerized system or that it sent you to a CSR when you tried to order programming?

How about this? Get a long pole with the dish on top, long enough for the satellite signals to reach it above the roof. Cement the lower end in the ground and clamp the upper end to the roof eaves. Or if you have a window on the south side, make a custom mount that can clamp to your window...

Here's a couple of thoughts. If you've changed receivers and have the same problem, its not a receiver problem. If, on the system info page, you're getting green indicators on the different satellite blocks, the lnbs and cableing are probably ok. I have both a regular subscription 301...

The last listing I have for non-english programming available for DishNOW! shows: Latino Brazil Mini-Pak Arabic Enhanced Package Hindi-SET ZEE TV Pakistani-GEO ARY Digital Sorry, no Polish Superpak. Maybe someone else has an updated list. You may want to call Dish or go to their...

I added some Showtime days this morning with the GDMP and no problems. And previously ordering adult channels had no impact. From reading all the past problems, it seems the difficulties started around the same timeframe and with only a few receivers. I think this problem is not a csr or tech...
