    Unbiased Dish vs Direct Comparison

    well, I'm less than a week in on D*, and so far I've only noticed a few things different. But for the next 2 years, my bill will be significant;y cheaper on D*, which is a big selling point for me. I do think the HD looks better on D* over E*, but everyone will need to trust their own eyes on...

    $15 to ship receiver?

    Had the same $15 charge option when I called to CXL yesterday. Gave the CSR what for when she asked me if I was sure I didn't want to transfer service to a friend or relative! lol Anyway, they said they could give me the shipping label for $15, or I could pay to have it shipped back via the...

    Bye bye and Thanks, Dish!

    Ok, so one cord is now cut. Just disco'd with Dish Network. Odd how they still try to nickle and dime you to death wanting me to pay to ship their equipment back. Oh well, kinda happy to be done with them, even with the new promotion they started today. (Murphy's Law is still functioning...

    Bye bye and Thanks, Dish!

    @kstuart: Unless I'm missing something, nope. Even right now on the "My Account Page", it offers me St. Louis, Mo Locals for $5.99. I'm going to guess that America's Top 120, which is what I have, doesn't fall in your list of 'every package'. And I thought I was already being specific, not...

    Bye bye and Thanks, Dish!

    Wow... that BLOWS! Well, if Direct isn't working out by Summer 2012, maybe I'll try Charter. They'll probably be bought by a more reputable company by then anyway. :)

    Bye bye and Thanks, Dish!

    Thanks for the feedback, folks. Nice to know people take the time to read your posts, even those who don't agree with me. :) For the record, Whatchel1, I don't think I was nearly as disappointed about what Dish chose to provide as much as it was the bait & switch feeling of constantly seeing...

    Bye bye and Thanks, Dish!

    Well, it's been a lovely 5 year ride with Dish, but it's all over this week. Not intending sarcasm (Ok... Maybe a little, but not really a rant-- just sharing an experience!), but a there were a number of issues that led to my decision, and a number of things I will miss about Dish. The...

    VIP722 Low Volume on RF?

    Hey folks, got (2) 722's here. One in the bedroom in single mode and all is well. Another in the basement theater area is in dual mode-- feeding my projector on TV1, and a couple other tvs on TV2. RF output is enabled on both TV outputs on channels 60 and 62. I also have a DVD player...

    Dish Thankyou Card

    No, but this must be my punishment for not voting for Obama. :) Although I did spend Friday night changing my Dish Package around. Dropped from AT250+Platinum HD to the Top 200+ & HD. Was able to get my bill down by about $50 a month from $111 to about $63. Still no new HD channels here...

    Dish Thankyou Card

    4 years on auto pay and paperless billing with AT250 and Platinum HD. No love here. No coupons, no Fox News HD, no Fox Business HD. Nothing but let downs again this year. :(

    Audio problem - 622

    Well, chalk up St. Louis locals on the list. After reading another forum as well, looks like it's limited to locals (St Louis and San Francisco were verified there), only on DVR or delay (live didn't stutter or clip). For me, it's horrible on shows like Fox's House. This HAS to be fixed...

    722 Picture skipping- Local HD only!?

    Will try that this weekend! I didn't get a second Seperator from my install, but think my brother had one in the box with his last upgrade. Will check back and let you know. Was very odd that it was only one tuner at issue, and only on local channels tho! Hope you're right! :)

    722 Picture skipping- Local HD only!?

    Hey all-- got a strange one here that I can't find anything on by searching the past few days. I've got a VIP722 in single mode. Everything almost works as expected-- the exception appears to be my locals in HD-- but only on tuner 2. The SD locals work fine no matter what, as do the OTA. I...

    VOOM Goes BOOM - update Dish Drops all 15 VOOM Channels

    I agree that this is a disappointing and underhanded move by Charlie and company. I've upheld Dish as my provider of choice in good faith that they would live up to their word and become the HD leader they claimed to be for so long. The move to add several new HD channels this week was a...

    Dish customers with DSL

    yep, without filters you can easily get reflection from any electronic device. I had similar issues with an alarm system. With filters, should be no issue.

    How To Re-Initialize The Hard Drive on DVR

    I can vouch for Ralfyguy-- having the same problem on my 722. Dish is sending me a new unit, but was hoping to fix it with a re-init. My problem is a 311 message box telling me a serious problem has been detected with my hard drive with an additional error code of 0521. The sate of the box...

    Please Read: Uplink Report Update by Scott

    I disagree Kstuart. While your point is well taken that 'they don't know themselves' as to what channels will be added or when, they could at least tell us what channels they are persuing. If they aren't even talking to NBC Universal (USA/SciFi/CNBC/Etc) or Time Warner (CNN/TBS/TNT/Etc) about...

    1 dual receiver 3 remotes? (2 for TV2)

    Yep, I got my 622 set up with 2 UHF remotes on TV 2. My kitchen tv has it's own Dish remote controlling the TV and is running the TV2 out on the 622 box. THe living room has an identical Dish remote, but it's programmed to control that TV and still controls the TV2 portion of the 622. The...

    How did my DVR time record the whole Super Bowl game?

    I skipped recording the Superbowl in favor of something even more awe-inspiring. :) I was completely disappointed with the DVR functionality recording the MLE event on Spike at Halftime. I knew they'd be going to the event at halftime, no matter when that was, so I set the show before and...

    Question: 722 or 622?

    I just upgraded my second HDTV last week, and had the choice of models. The deal thru 1/31 was $99 for the 622 before a $100 rebate ($10 credit each month for 10 months) or $149 before the $100 rebate making it essentially $50. I almost went for the 622 and make a buck, as the $50 difference...

    OFFICIAL: Dish Network Not Enough New HD Complaint Thread

    Count me among the disappointed. Just turning on this week's WWE Raw, and seeing it in SD still on USA Network. Shame that even though it's only 'rasslin', Raw is still a top 10 program on PayTV nearly every week. Of course, there are other channels that would be nice to have in HD too. If...
