    What's so great about HD Platinum?

    Trying to decide whether to keep these channels I barely knew I had...and I'd like to know what everything thinks are so great about them. I see that there are some good movies here and there, but I feel Netflix could cover that portion. What kind of series are on here that make everyone...

    What is the maximum usable space for an EHD with Dish's one time archiving EHD fee?

    Multi-platter and multi-drive supported with EHD Well, based on all responses I think we've established a few things: 1-The 1TB limit is false/old/something. 2-The single platter theory isn't true at this point, if it ever was. 3-Multiple drives in a JBOD/RAID config works in some cases...

    What is the maximum usable space for an EHD with Dish's one time archiving EHD fee?

    Has anyone used more than 1TB at a time on their EHD? Thanks for all of the replies, some of this thread echoed my own investigations. For instance, on the platters vs. drives issue, I think this one line from the brochure on EHD caused the confusion- The External Hard Drive must: Be...

    Besides the obvious, am I being overcharged?

    Autopay I have been on autopay for at least 4 years with Dish...hence why I haven't actually looked at what I was being charged in years. Thanks Also, thanks to everyone for the suggestions - I still feel like I've missed out on what HD, Platinum HD, HD Platinum, HD+Platinum, etc...

    What is the maximum usable space for an EHD with Dish's one time archiving EHD fee?

    I have read from Dish that the maximum size of the drive is 1TB maximum, yet have seen in a few posts on this forum that people have 'scored' 1.5TB+ drives for the same purpose. Hence, I'd like to know if there really isn't a 1TB limit....or any limit for that matter. Additionally, though it...

    Besides the obvious, am I being overcharged?

    HD for Life Promo I was looking at that - I was somewhat surprised to find that I did not already have that deal, though I suppose that even though I've been on paperless billing for many years and have been with Dish for 9 years, they wouldn't do it for me automagically. How naive of me...

    Besides the obvious, am I being overcharged?

    Hello all, I haven't been here in 2 years and I haven't really looked at my bill in that time either. So it probably serves me right that I cannot tell whether I'm being screwed or not. But after searching here and elsewhere for the last few days, I'm not sure I've found my answer. I...

    Official Response on DHPP vs. Lease Warranty - What is covered.

    Decorder Ring Hey Tom (love the name btw) - your guess is as good as mine. I needed a decoder ring intially to decipher the warranty and, frankly, I'm not sure the gal from the CEO's office that sent this response entirely understood what I was saying...and lastly, I'm not sure if her...

    DVR 625 upgrade for an existing customer

    What wording did you use to swing that? What did you say in your message to the CEO group for them to give you this offer? I've had hit or miss luck with that address...just as much as with the regular CSRs...did you have to haggle/go back and forth with them...or did they just throw that...
