We live in a rural area north of Tucson, and most of the TV station antennas are on the other side of 9,000 foot Mt. Lemmon, so our TV choices are Dish, DirecTV, or the local cable company, which has limited channels, and apparently the system crashes occasionally. So realistically, our TV...

I might call retention before switching, but $900 in savings is a lot of money for them to offer me to stay with them. But as I tell people, "if you don't ask, then you've already told yourself 'No'". I'm also quite annoyed by Dish's HBO p*****g contest with ATT. I've signed up for streaming...

Dish's customer service is good, they seem to want to work with me, and they seem to be native English speakers. Would you please explain your comment about "DTV's now much posted about Billing and the fine print regarding that 2 year deal"? Now you have me concerned. Thanks for responding.

I have called the Loyalty Team several times, and they have reduced my bill by giving me free or reduced HBO, Showtime, and Starz for either 3 or 6 months, but I have to call them every 3 or 6 months and ask them to continue the reduction. With the DTV package, I would have the premium movie...

I would like some opinions and advice, and I'm not a troll; I just want some advice. I’ve been a Dish subscriber for 2+ years, and this month my monthly Dish bill jumped about $60 per month to $160; I had been receiving reduced/free rates for the movie premium channels, and I suppose I lost...

"a few different options"? You guys are amazing! I thought the water was almost crystal clear, but now it's muddied to the point of making my head hurt. :boom It's starting to get late, so I'm going to put on hold any more thinking until tomorrow morning. My CURRENT thinking (subject to...

Thanks, lparsons21, for responding to one of the other commenters in a much more tactful manner than I was about to.

The monthly price includes an Advanced Receiver Service fee of $15.00, a Regional Sports fee of $2.14, a TV fee of $6.50, and a Protection Plan for $7.99. There is no tax mentioned, however my Dish monthly tax is $1.41. The monthly cost for months 12-24 will be $168.62, slightly more than my...

Boy, do I feel stupid!!! 50 years ago I was good at math. I guess too many brain cells have died. It's because of you sharp people on this site that I ask for help here. But even the $259.36 savings look good to me, so I'm going to call Dish and see what they might offer me. Thanks to...

I don't understand how your response is relevant to my proposal to save $659.36 in the next year by switching back to DTV.

Ok, here’s my current thinking regarding leaving Dish and returning to DTV. My current monthly payment to Dish with 1 TV and America’s Everything Pack is $159.90, with 10 months remaining on my Dish 2-year commitment. If I return to DTV, the monthly payment for months 1 through 12 with a...

I was with Dish for 14 years, went to DTV for 2 years, and came back to Dish 14 months ago, but when I entered my second year with Dish, my monthly bill jumped $50. I knew that the bill would increase in the second year, but $50 all at once was a shock, so now I’m thinking about returning to...

OK, here's my update. First off, I jumped to the wrong conclusion. After finally talking to 2 levels of Dish support and resetting my receiver once, I found out the reason I saw RedZone in HD last year was because I had the new subscriber Multi-Sport w/RedZone pack for free, and that has now...

I tuned in to NFL RedZone this morning and discovered that Dish is broadcasting it in SD. Last year Dish broadcast RedZone in HD. I called Dish and was told that there was a 15 minute wait, so I went to Dish chat and was told that there was a 9 minute wait. Great customer service. Does...

I am so sorry about your PTSD, but I'm glad that you have found a way to get some relief from it. I would thank you for your service, but when people thank me for mine (Vietnam era), I feel uncomfortable. I read an excellent response for when someone thanks us for our service: "You're welcome...

Mike, you make waaaayyyyyy too much sense. You would never make it in today's 'we lose money on every sale but make up for it in volume' business climate. I was with Dish for 13 years, and when I asked for some loyalty consideration, they told me there was nothing they could do. So I went to...

I've been thinking about doing that, but I'm tired of messing around with all the cables; however I might try it, anyway. I would be extremely surprised if it works, because the problem SEEMS to be with the software, not with the cabling, but it's worth a try. Once again, I resent having to...

'Dude'? I don't think I've ever been addressed as 'dude'. Considering my age, 'geezer' might be a better appellation. Painful? In what way is it painful? Seriously. It looks fine on my screen. I would be interested in knowing if anyone else doesn't like the font. The font is Trebuchet...

Very funny. Ha, ha. Thanks for the laugh. My signature used to be "Cynicism is just one of the services I offer."

Yes, I have a Sony KDL60EX720. In the 15-page thread on the Dish Support site, I believe that people mention having TV’s other than Sony. I read the following on the Internet (which means that it may or may not be true): “With component cable you only get video up to 720P.” “No difference in...

And leave the optical cable connected to the AVR? I don't want to use the TV's sound system, so I need to get the sound to my AVR somehow. Optical Out from the TV to the AVR? You know, if Dish's software and hardware simply worked the way they are supposed to -- continuous sound with no...

Would you clarify? My initial setup was HDMI from Hopper to AVR, and then HDMI from AVR to TV. Per a suggestion here, I additionally ran an optical cable from Hopper to AVR and then set the AVR to use the optical input instead of the HDMI for sound. So I don't know which 'faulty cable' you are...

I’m back ... unfortunately. As I wrote in an earlier post, I took Rolling Joe’s suggestion and plugged in an optical cable between the Hopper and the AVR. The sound dropout problem disappeared for about 3 weeks, but now the identical sound dropout problem is back: while watching some recorded...

Thanks for the thread reference. Most people in the thread seem to have Yamaha AVR's, but I have a Denon. Per your suggestion, two days ago I added an optical cable from the Hopper to the AVR and then spent more than an hour stumbling through the archaic Denon menu system, which looks like it...
