    Anyone move from Dish Network to FIOS?

    I am still really new and exploring options. Moxi.... does that box replace your fios box and use the cablecard the way tivo does? Or would it be an additional box?

    Anyone move from Dish Network to FIOS?

    Bottom line.... yes However, you can do lifetime and end up paying less. Initially I thought the same thing... why bother if it would be the same $$ Then I started to think long term. There is an up front investment to recoup. But we are early adopters of equipment and we paid more for some...

    Anyone move from Dish Network to FIOS?

    We are very much enjoying FIOS and the great pq. Multiple dvrs with dish were costing us more than with FIOS. We are seriously looking at Tivo for at least one tv for now but the free VOD of a lot of the shows is really nice. We are (relatively) patient so knowing Cisco boxes were being...

    Tips on dropping service?

    I called to drop my service a little over a month ago. I guess it is like anything else. Depends on the CSR you get or something. I have never (in 13 years) threatened to leave in order to get them to give me some thing. I had made up my mind I was dropping dish and I had no bad feelings...

    722k kills phone service

    It has happened to me as well. Phone company came to check on my phone because service stopped working. He checked everything outside and then had my son disconnect one thing at a time until the phones started working again. When my 722 was disconnected the phones started to work. We waited...

    Statement from DISH - Not Getting the New HD?

    I was told they would be bringing the EA dish when I scheduled and when Intertech called to confirm I asked if it was the 1000.4 the girl said yes but when he got here he had the 1000.2. At that time he said they only had a few 1000.2 dishes and they did not have and could not get the 1000.4...

    Statement from DISH - Not Getting the New HD?

    As I have mentioned before. They did the western arc with my wing at 61.5 and I am perfectly happy. The signal from 129 is higher than my 61.5 and just as high as my 110 and 119. As long as you have LOS from 129 I would not rule it out.

    No New HD for these cities?

    wow! I guess I was a lucky one that got in before they made this decision as well. I am in the Buffalo DMA and they installed a 1000.2 and left my 61.5 wing so I get 110/119/129 and 61.5. I also must be very lucky with my LOS. I posted my129 signal strengths elsewhere and honestly right now...

    Statement from DISH - Not Getting the New HD?

    I guess you may have been commenting on someone elses post then. I already said in a previous post that they did not have the 1000.4 in this area so that was what was confusing me. Also, I guess it depends on what you consider a weak signal. I also posted my signal strengths from my 129 sat...

    Statement from DISH - Not Getting the New HD?

    Only under "special circumstances" can the 1000.4 be installed here. Some people have done it themselves. My setup is probably only about 10 feet off the ground. The dishes are mounted to a wood storage shed in the back yard. I really thought it was going to end up pointed right at the roof...

    Statement from DISH - Not Getting the New HD?

    I had not bothered to check transponders and etc specifically because were were having no issues and I was lazy :-) I did it this evening so I could respond to your post. As you know it is raining but I don't know how much cloud cover is out there or if it has changed anything. I looked at...

    Statement from DISH - Not Getting the New HD?

    Your local hd channels are on 61.5 so if you went with the 110/119/129 single dish you would not get your locals in hd. Your sd channels are on 110. I set mine up through the chat and made sure I kept a copy because I specifically asked about no contract extension and how much it would cost...

    Statement from DISH - Not Getting the New HD?

    Read my response to you above. Was it Intertech? My installer told me they do not have the 1000.4 because they are not supposed to do EA for us as a general rule. They did bring in some 1000.2 dishes (WA) when they heard about this change. Mine was done on 2/28. When they called to confirm my...

    Statement from DISH - Not Getting the New HD?

    Do you know if you have LOS to 129? They just replaced one of my dish 500s with the 1000.2 to receive the 110/119/129. They left my 61.5 dish. It was done on 2/28 and so far I have no complaints. The guy was really nice and knew what he was doing. He did not let the dish rep off the phone...

    Can this be done? 61.5/72.5/110/119

    Do you have LOS for 129? They just did an install of the 1000.2 on mine so I have 110/119/129 plus my 2nd dish for 61.5. The install was on Sun .... so far so good.

    Statement from DISH - Not Getting the New HD?

    They came today and installed the 1000.2 for 110/119/129 and left my second dish for 61.5. When the work order went in late friday pm they took off the hd. It took the tech a while to get it added back. He stayed until it was done and made sure it was right. So I now have all the hd channels...

    119/110/61.5/72.7...Possible?

    This sounds like a good answer for us too. Hope to hear how it goes for you. Has anyone had Intertech do theirs yet? What was their solution?

    Sanborn, NY - Buffalo DMA - EA vs WA

    Ditto here 61.5 not far from you guys. I wanted a one dish solution since we have to move our dishes. I couldn't get a clear picture of what I would be missing. I scrolled through a lot of satellite info. WA made no sense to me either though. We would have installed it ourselves. jwolf...

    eastern arc clarification needed

    I am a suburb of buffalo yes 14226. The last I knew (havent checked in a while) the only thing on 61.5 was my HD including my locals. I guess you are saying I need to look at the list to see where my others are.

    eastern arc clarification needed

    As simply as I can ask this..... We need to move our sat dishes so we figured it would be nice if we could go from 2 dishes to 1. We have two 622 receivers that I received new cards for and one 722 that we have only had a couple months so I am assuming it is current. Our current setup has a...

    External hard drive, on or off?

    I dont use mine very often. I transfer things we have watched but want to keep onto it. Because of this I just disconnect it when I power down after transferring and only reconnect it when I know I want to transfer something.
