Term of the agreement is 3 years with renewal on an annual basis of $500 per year, plus I have to cover the Power Bill for any...

    Dish Network Terrestrial Ground Stations

    I play Twin Hills a lot and I used to play Braemar, although I had a bad experience a couple of years ago at Braemar, so I don't go there anymore. Anyway Dish called me out of the blue and asked about doing a site survey. They showed up Tuesday, what they want to do is to install a Satellite...

    Dish Network Terrestrial Ground Stations

    I'm wondering what is in the future or if any Dish Network Business customers have been approached by Dish to put a Terrestrial Ground Station on their Commercial Property, so Dish can use/test their new Ground station technology to Narrowcast wireless data and or video etc, via Terrestrial...

    RV/Boat Dish Service Questions

    I currently have a Boat with an Intellian "I2" In motion system. This system is compatible with either all (SD/HD) Dish Network Service (although Dish Compatibility depends on a sister Box "MiM" to the standard Intellian Dish controller) or KU-Band only DirecTV which can only see the SD only...

    DISH Announces New Leadership Assignments, Promotions

    I still have Dish Network at my business, but realistically they really need to straighten out their HD Sports programming. They are missing some very big markets for sports networks. Secondly, why is Dish still refusing to carry a lot of RSN's in HD. I'll bet they have maintained that line in...

    Commercial accounts

    I have a commercial Dish Account and I called Dish about 4 months wondering why I had such a hard time finding information about commercial programing packages (I wanted to make some changes). They told me I could get the standard AT packages, which is actually cheaper for me. I was also told I...

    Which LNBF side of the LNBF should be picking up 61.5. (Standing behind the Dish's reflector the LNBF on the left should receive which orbital slot)

    Dish Pointing help and what Dish is this

    The LNBF says Dish HD on though, that just doesn't make much sense to me I told him a regular Dish 500 would work better, cause the docks we are on are "Floaters" so they do move a little and the larger Dish has a tighter Focal Area and small movement may be more prone to signal loss than a...

    Dish Pointing help and what Dish is this

    I used to have Dish Network and did my own installation, since then I switched to DirecTV. I have a fellow boater with Dish Network and I told him I could help him install a Dish at his boat. This is the dish he brought I'm at a loss to understand what type it is. Tried to get him pointed using...

    CES Adds DISH’s Hopper with Sling as “Best of Show” - Dumps CNET from giving awards

    Generally the larger the Corporations get the more they stifle innovation and competition. The consolidation of the Entertainment and Communication industries has been bad for the consumer. John

    DISH -VS- VOOM - A Settlement has been reached!

    Charlie doesn't see adding MSG as worth while, because most of the fans of all the Sport teams on the New York State RSN's (Yes, MSG, Sportschannel NY) have already left, I did. Adding One New York State RSN (MSG) as this point simply isn't worth it to Dish Network, as they still wouldn't...

    Senators vs Panthers on CI

    Center Ice rarely carries Canadian Teams home feed in HD. Center Ice usually carries the Toronto Maple Leafs home feed in HD. Once in a while you will see another Canadian feed in HD but very rarely. John

    msg and msg+ wil they give in

    The Subscribers that are getting the DirecTV RSN hike are in areas that straddle Markets near the NYC area. The subs seeing the increase get the Three NY RSN's (MSG, SNY, YES) as well as an adjacent market with their own RSN's. Again this is happening in the Tri State area. I live in Rochester...

    New Samsung LED not working with Dish Network

    I don't understand why your original TV was tuned to Channel 21 to display Component Video. Are your sure you are using the proper cables for the video and not confusing the Audio cables with the Video cables? Are you confusing Composite with Component? Component Video requires three cables...

    Hopper - will 3 tuners be enough?

    As a whole home solution 3 tuners is totally insufficient. I find the new DirecTV HR34's 5 tuner limit to bare bones. I'd like to see 6 or more tuners as a whole home DVR solution. If you have 2-4 persons in a household you can easily have 3 or more shows that are to be recorded at the same time...

    Dish Customer Service is Ridiculous

    I just got a call from Dish Network. They asked me if i have a business at my property, I do. I explained that the service is for my home and that all receivers are in my HOUSE, and you are welcome to come inspect. Sorry sir, because your property is zoned commercial and your residence is on...

    DISH NETWORK NOW OFFERS ACCESS TO ONLINE NETWORK SPEED2

    No Kidding, Nasc&ap is more of a soap Opera, or like professional wrestling. Speed needs to bring back the Offshore Power Boat Racing and alot of the Boating shows it had on. I really miss Speedvision. Fox Networks ruined Speed. John

    Dish Network HD Picture Quality?

    I still have both and I will say that the DirecTV HD channels are slightly sharper, but I will see some macroblocking and artifacting once in a while. Dish hardly ever has artifacting but their PQ is slightly softer. Dish does have a number of HD channels DirecTV doesn't the biggest reason...

    Court ruling today in TiVo case.

    If the lawsuit does indeed continue on for a few more years, it appears to be in Dish's favor. Tivo's market share is continuing to shrink. It's likely Dish to trying to the use the Siege offense, in other words Starve TIVO out. If the DVR market continues to bleed TIVO subscribers then TIVO is...

    SNY Gone Tomorrow? (It's Gone!)

    Islandguy, I switched to DirecTV, love it, every Sabres Game in glorious HD. I also have Center Ice, and DirecTV is the only provider that carries next to every Game's home Feed in HD, except for Canadian RSN HD feeds, with Toronto Leaf games a notable exception and carried in HD.
