    Deal of a Lifetime!

    I don't have the protection plan. Something went wrong and they sent me a new box. I paid $15 shipping and nothing else.

    Can you get the new HD from DISH?

    not a one. have 110/119/61.5 I hope they rethink this. It just seems silly the way there is a new standard for what dishes you need every couple of years. TV should be set it and forget it.

    BBC America HD?

    Chances are if your neighbor gets BBC and The Science Channel, he gets ESPN, also BECAUSE THESE CHANNELS ARE NOT OFFERED ALA CARTE!

    The "What Happend April 1" excuse poll

    I chose Charlie-being-Charlie, but I don't think they will give a reason. The channels will show up in the next few weeks and the next time we see Charlie he will be bragging about the new channels added, without any mention of the broken promise.

    The Dish April 1st New HD Saga (Merged Threads)

    I'm sorry. You accidently wandered onto the satellite forum where people talk about this kind of stuff. Did you mean to go to the 'natural and man-made disasters forum'? Honestly, if you think people are being petty for discussing subjects that they are interested in, why are you hanging out...

    Cinemax For A Penny

    You definitely should not do it. Why on earth would you want 4 more commercial free hd channels with uncut movies at practically no cost to you? You wouldn't. What are the chances that there would be at least one movie a month that you would be interested in? Practically zero. Don't...

    Turbo charged?

    My wife accidently hit the power button while flipping through the chanels. She called me from the other room, yelling that she was turbocharging the system and didn't know what it meant or how to stop it. "Oh no!" I yelled as I hit the power button and turned the tv back on. I was the big...

    No HD Locals = Free Premium Chans

    The good news is you're satisfied now. The bad news is that they really didn't give you anything that they weren't offering everybody. The Cinemax for a penny promo has been around and available since around christmas and the three months promo with a new commitment has been available to...

    Why All the Local HD Channels?

    Many people will not even consider a tv provider if they can't get their locals. You aren't getting these without getting your locals: American Idol, Super Bowl, 24, House, Lost, Sunday Night Football. And most of these are even better in HD (Is American Idol in HD or Fox widescreen?)

    Time to draw a line in the sand with Ergen

    More likely Dish realizes that for every sub complaining there are 10 to 100 subs out there that have the same complaint and aren't calling, emailing, or posting here. (Maybe they're just leaving.)

    Do I have a legitimate complaint?

    If you're not employed right now, all the more reason to have gotten the discount all up front while your income is limited.

    Do I have a legitimate complaint?

    I would say you do not have a legitimate complaint. Why would you be angry that they gave you your money faster than they promised?
