    Dish HD Question - Adding 2nd Dish

    Right now, I have a Dish 500 system with a 6000u & 508. I currently subscribe to HBO, but do not get HBO-HD because I do not have a second dish pointed to the 61.5 orbital location. I thought this was going to be solved for cheap with SuperDish. I figured I'd go for the commitment and...

    Dish Network Information Update

    Do you think the HBO/Showtime HD feeds will be moved to 110 eventually? If so, anyone have a educated guess on how far in the future it may be? I'm just wondering if it's worth the price of the extra dish to get it now...

    6000 deal

    Hey Rob...you won't get a $149 6000u, but if you keep pressing, they will eventually let you have it for $199 on the DHP plan. At least they did for me (and other people on the forums). I called 4 different CSR's and was told no everytime. I finally sent an e-mail asking for the deal, got...

    Recording from my 6000; S-VHS or D-VHS or?

    If you don't mind refurbished, you may want to look around on the net at some of the places that sell JVC refurbs. I was able to get once recently for $70 shipped. Looks brand new & works great. I can't give you an opinion of how it records, though. It is strickly a player in my...

    SuperDish DHP Customer Question

    Does anyone know if the free SuperDish promotion will be offered to the DHP Customers? When the 6000u offer was originally NOT offered to the DHP customers, I yelled/kicked/screamed and finally was offered to be let out of the DHP program if I bought my own equipment (I'm only 6 months into...

    Free Superdish Promotion

    Any ideas if this deal will apply to DHP customers? E* finally relented & gave me a 6000u/8VSB for the $199 deal. I'm just wondering if I'm going to have to go down a similiar path for the SuperDish.

    Life after DishNets DHP?

    I have no problem with the DHP plan...as long as we can get the deals...in this case to affordably upgrade to HDTV. I have no gripes about DHP other than I was mislead by the DISH salesperson who told me that I would be able to upgrade to HDTV "easier" with DHP vs owning. That's why I made...

    Life after DishNets DHP?

    I am only 6 months into my 12 month contract There is a $240 cancellation fee, but they weren't going to charge me it (I wasn't really cancelling...) I may be in a little different situation than most. When I was signing up for DishNetwork, I ended up doing it over the phone thru E*. I...

    Life after DishNets DHP?

    Actually, I was given a way out without cancelling my plan. They said I could go buy my own new system and then return the rented equipment. I'd be then out of the DHP. Believe me, though, I had to fight long & hard for this. I was on the verge of cancelling & switching to DirecTV...

    Life after DishNets DHP?

    Hold the phones...I just got a call from someone from the Executive Office. He has offered me (a DHP customer) the same $199 deal on the 6000u (with the 8VSB). Didn't give me much of an explanation on the change of heart other than they want to offer me this deal. Of course, I took him up...

    Life after DishNets DHP?

    I just got off the phone with Dish's cancellation department. They will let me off of the DHP after I buy a new system & return the old one. They DID say I have to return the LNB. I'm curious to see if after I am no longer a DHP customer if I will be able to get the $199 6000u deal...
