I rec the email from Dish in mid April, scheduled an install on 4/23, the antenna works well for my locals (Houston DMA), I"m about 35 miles from the tower array, relatively flat ground near the Texas Gulf Coast. I was skeptical, the antenna is small (I didn't write the model # down) compared...

I bought the bundle package for $1000, included a 921 HD dvr + the 34" crt hi def monitor (didn't have a tuner in the tv), at the time it was the least expensive deal for an hd tv & dvr and the pic quality was decent for what hd was available at the time. I know the Dish guys that delivered it...

I ordered one yesterday from the Dish website ($30 + sales tax shipped), this item had been out of stock since my hopper install on 1/10, this is about $10 cheaper than ordering elsewhere (ebay, amazon, etc.)

I noticed this in the guide last nite starting around 11:35 local time, (I'm in the Houston area), the locals (except channel 20) were showing "off air" for a 2 hour block. Of course I was curious so I clicked on channel 13 (yeah, it's like I need to see if the paint was really wet!), I got an...

I guess this will be coming "soon"..... yeah, I had noticed that on the horizon but I can live with the current model, it will serve my needs.

I'm switching from Direct back to Dish, Hopper install scheduled for 1/10. My contract with Direct is up on the 13th of this month and I wanted to accomplish two things: reduce my monthly bill and have more tuners than the hr24 so I can stop using my Dish Pal DTV DVR and have all recordings on...

I wouldn't cancel with only 2 months left (well, that's because I'm cheap and to me it doesn't make sense to pay $xx times the remaining months on the contract), just use the remaining time to figger out who has the best deal for your viewing habits. I'm thinking about looking at Dish in mid...

Here's what I would do, I would price out what package you want with Direct, see what the total cost for 24 months would be (length of the contract) and see what the average cost per month is. Then I would contact Dish retention and see what they would do for you, compare the two average costs...

The tax rate should be (in Texas) .0625, which is the state rate, according to page 11 of this brochure from Carole Rylanders office http://www.window.state.tx.us/taxinfo/taxpubs/tx94_105.pdf pursuant to the Federal Communications Act of 1996. Any taxes other than state imposed would (or...

I get what the OP is saying, I switched from Dish to Direct on 1/13/11, I'm a former Absolute sub and Dish customer for 10+ years. I know it costs less to keep an existing customer than to acquire a new customer, Dish doesn't seem to comprehend this. (In fairness, Dish isn't the only Fortune...

I wouldn't use USPS to send one back, too many chances of it not arriving, even with a shipment confirmation. I canceled Dish on 1/13/11 (long live Absolute's memory...and cheap price!), Dish sent a box with a prepaid label (the $15 charge), I put the 622, 2 remotes, and lnb in the box. (I...

I signed up with Direct, got the $180 cash card, I'm not a Costco member so these are my options: I can use the card online at costco.com with a 5% upcharge (not real impressed with the offerings online since they don't carry the food/household items online, but to each his own), or I can use...

This is part of the promo that's been running for several years now, but I read where SoCal doesn't get the $14 for the second year. I went to directv and used zip code 90210 and sure enough, the $14 didn't appear in months 13-24. I dunno if that's the only area not getting it. I think...

I canceled Absolute on 1/13, I went with Direct choice xtra pak. I was able to get the $180 Costco card (it arrived Fed Ex yesterday), the $100 referral discount, the 29 for first 12 months, and 14 for months 13-24, discount. I got the $5 off additional for the first 12 months. I'm not sure...

Yeah, but still not nearly as cheap as Absolute:mad: Latino Max hd will be $59 + dvr fee, effective 2/1; even with the Double D applied (the Dish Discount), it's still gonna be a tidy sum more than Absolute, especially when you've got one or two "must have" channels that end up costing you...

I had a Direct install on 1/13, got the choice xtra pack, one hd dvr (hr24-500) and one hd box (think it's an hr24), with the whole house service (geez, my mind wants to type "whor* house service"....), anyway my bill will average $53 per month (rounded up, no taxes included) for 24 months with...

It's a regional non-offer in SoCal, I used zip code 90210 to see the monthly charges and the $14 discount for months 13-24 doesn't show up. The AAA credit will keep you from getting the $100 referral credit, you can't get both. I canceled Dish last nite, had Direct installed in the...

Bad news: Dish is "divorcing" you and keeping the Absolute package. Good news: You get to pick another package that meets the minimum requirement to complete your commitment with Dish. More bad news: The package you pick will cost more than Absolute. The standard wording in these contracts...

I dunno, I really believe the pack is gone come Feb 1, but I've been wrong before! I can't see Dish going thru these motions, sending the letters and making the calls. I suppose you don't have anything to lose by not changing before 2/1, worse thing would be getting put in the 200 pack. I got...

What package price is retention (or the regular csr) quoting, is it the current pricing (on the AT & Dish America) or are they quoting the prices effective 2/1/11? Dish called me this morning, I wasn't available to take the call. I've got a Direct install set up so the point is moot for me...

Current Absolute sub, I signed up online with Direct for their Choice xtra pak, with one hd dvr & one hd receiver. I didn't try and call Dish to see what they'd offer, just not worth the effort. We wouldn't be satisfied with Top 120 (figured at least top 200 for the shows we watch) so when I...

The class action wouldn't affect Absolute programming, it's for the early termination fee and how Dish "extracts" it.... I'm wondering if Dish doesn't want Absoluters to change until 2/1, reason being you'll not only have given up your pack, you'll then get hit with the price increase...

Now that's funny:D (my money is on a close family member, since no mention of multiple receiver fees). Although, maybe in a parallel universe.........

My setup is similar to yours except I don't have the service plan; here's my thinking for looking at Direct: Choice Xtra Package & Programming, after discounts & referral: $35 month, 1st-10th month; $45 month, 11 & 12; $56 month 13 thru 24. I'm rounding up, no tax included. This would avg...
