    Dish Network Prepaid Question

    So if I got a receiver and got back into this it would work? My other one died and never got around to getting a new receiver thinking that it would be going on for a while, but it seems like its hard to find them now. The question is can a new user get this to work or is just for existing users?

    Dish Network Prepaid Question

    Another FYI with the Green Dot deal. I have done this twice and it works. Call the 888 number go through the motions and then after they ask if you want to use the full balance tell them no. They they will tell you how many days of programming you can get. Then hang up before anything is...

    Dish Network Prepaid Question

    Here is a little FYI that sort of made me mad. I got my stuff hooked up at my place in Canada and was ready to sit down and watch the Indians/Yankees game on WTBS Sunday and guess what? It was blacked out, so I am guessing from now on I will have to give a zip code from somewhere that doesn't...

    Dish Network Prepaid Question

    The 888 number does not work in Canada. I had a couple people from here try the number and they said it rang then it went to a busy signal. So, I will have to activate it here and take it there. I have a FTA dish up there pointed at G10 ,but i need my ESPN fix :-)

    Dish Network Prepaid Question

    I can confirm the receiver has to be connected to the dish and be on when the signal is sent ,so my option is to set the fta dish to 119 and get the service here in ohio then pull the receiver and take it with me to my place in Canada. The only thing that really irritates me is the "You have 2...

    Dish Network Prepaid Question

    Thanks Steelersrule (hard to type that being a Browns fan). Anyway Once the weather clears a bit I'm going to setup a temp dish and try to order 1 day of service and leave the receiver off for a day then plugging it all in to see if it works. I will let ya'all know what happens.

    Dish Network Prepaid Question

    Got my receiver and the dish is aimed to 119. Now here is the big question. Does the receiver have to be on when you call so it can send a signal or can it be like a day later? The reason i'm asking is 'cause my place in Canada has no phone service and cell phones work about half the time ,so im...

    Dish Network Prepaid Question

    Is there a difference between a DP301 receiver that came out of a working DN system and a prepaid DP301 receiver?
