I received an offer from DISH to return. Unfortunately, I think it got thrown out.:mad: I think it offered something like free install plus $200 toward equipment. Is anyone aware of this, or know whether I can get this offer again?

I have a 301 and a 508. Both are used but work fine. I am having a new roof installed Monday and the Mrs. didn't want a satellite dish on the new roof. :river Perhaps I could throw in the Mrs. to anyone buying both receivers :D

OK, guys, I need your expertise and guidance. I plan to sell two DISH receivers on eBay. In reviewing those already being auctioned, some include receiver serial numbers, card numbers, etc. Some don't. What should I or should I not include on an auction so that I protect myself? I...

I have two receivers, one 508 (with the problem), and a 301, which works fine. (Thanks for advising me to check the second one). I apparently didn't run a check switch test -- I had only looked at the check switch screen. I did a hard reboot, then ran a test, and I'm back up and running...

I have a Dish 500, twin lnb, pointed at 119 and 110. As I was watching local channels (110 satellite), an error message came on indicating that something was wrong with the mutli satellite switch, and that I must conduct a check switch. I did so, and it only recognized one of the two lnbs. :no...

Been there. Not going back. :no I always thought the apartment owner also owned the small cable co. It was bizarre - it was some no name cable company that seemed to only supply the complex I was in. The rest of the city was serviced by one of the big cable cos. Very strange.

I have enjoyed E* for the past three years with a flawless 508 and a 301. Lately, I have been looking to invest in HD technology to feed my HD set. What I determined was, that i cannot wait around for either E* or D* to figure out what they want to be relating to HDTV when they grow up. I...

(1) Yes, you can rewind to the beginning of the show, press record, then fast forward past everything you've already seen -- bring it back to "live" mode. You'll still be recording, and it will shut off according to how you set up the recording (manual stop, stop at end of event, etc.). (2)...

I have noticed a plethora of comments -- in numerous threads -- that seem to imply that to be credible, one must have made many, many posts. I would like to offer my opinion that there is no correlation between the number of posts one has made and the credibility and/or worth of the comments...

I am always willing to pay for service, and tip generously (restaurants, hotels, etc., where tips represent a significant part of the service provider's income). A tip for an installer? Okay, right. Right after I tip my doctor for a gentle rectal exam. :haha

All great thoughts, everyone. I'll be climbing up on my ladder with my digital camera and markers tomorrow.

Being a complete novice...Can the mast be leveled AFTER the satellite is attached to the roof, or is leveling the mast PART of attaching it to the roof? (If the roofing company just attaches the base to the roof, can I level the mast after the fact?) Thanks.

Should I mark the dish using marker on its various settings in case it does get moved when it is taken down?

How much should it cost to have someone come out and re-aim my dish? It is being removed while I get a new roof installed, but will be re-attached by the roofing company. They do not aim it, however. Perhaps it's easy enough to aim it myself? Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks.

If anyone is in need of giving me free money, please PM me. :clap

It's worth pointing out that cable is also raising its prices in 2005. That won't necessarily negate your argument, but it's worth noting.

I have read many instances of folks with 50+ inch screens where SD (and with some, HD) looks bad. My HD screen is a 36" Sony WEGA 4:3 that I purchased two years ago. Perhaps it won't be subject to too many of the issues I read about with the larger screen. Also, even with DISH, my local...

OK - I know what I don't know, so I'm going to the experts. I have two televisions, one HD, one SD. Presently have a 508 and a 301 (no, I'm not piping HD through my HD set). WOW! Cable has the following offer for $84/month: (1) All Digital Cable - see attached for channel listing (2) 1...

I've never experienced any issues when using the Dish Network site. Just fortunate, I guess. As I think about that, If I'm going to be fortunate, Dish's site would not be my first choice for where I experience good luck. :D

Which DVR were you hoping to get for free?

I received my yellow card for my two year old 301. Interestingly, I purchased my 508 at the same time as the 301, but it already had a yellow card. In any event, I put in the new card, activated it, and was up and running in 10 minutes. :yes

I have 508 and 301 receivers, with AT120 pack w/locals. Bill totals $46/month ($34 for AT 120, $6 for locals, $5 for add'l receiver fee). If I upgrade to AEP, do I still get charged the add'l receiver fee? Thanks.

I, too, was an avid TSS fan prior to G4 takeover. I also agree the show has gone down hill. One side note -- and just my opinion -- Sarah Lane adds very little value to the show. Perhaps her "techie-lite" type of windows tips and useless download of the day type segments don't appeal to...

This is a major league cop-out on the part of the Dish employee. Your contact his attempting to hide behind Regulation-FD (FD = Fair Disclosure), an SEC regulation aimed at releasing potentially market-moving information universally to the public -- or more precisely, preventing uneven...

Let me be clear that this is in no way an attempt to slight Scott or his efforts. However, Dish also led all of us to believe $839 (or whatever) was a great deal on the 921 via the "group purchase," when in fact a few weeks later it was well under $600. Given this recent history, I guess...
