    Would they charge for a service call if someone tampered with my setup?

    Thanks.. that's why I stink at this. Going to give this a try.

    Would they charge for a service call if someone tampered with my setup?

    Okay, I think you all are right... Now I am thinking again that it is misaligned. Block 1 and 3 are blank. Block 2 says 77. Block 4 says 118. If I recall, I think 77 used to be in Block 1, right? Also, when I do a signal check - I get locked on 118 and 77, but when I go to 72, tp32 - I...

    Would they charge for a service call if someone tampered with my setup?

    I think maybe I am hoping for an easy solution. :) Your guess sounds very plausible.

    Would they charge for a service call if someone tampered with my setup?

    Well, I checked the setup today with someone to help - and upon inspection of the bolts, etc. - it really looks like it was not touched at all. :-/ The skew and elevation is correct and I am starting to think that the dish wasn't moved out of alignment and maybe the LNBF is now bad. Is that...

    Would they charge for a service call if someone tampered with my setup?

    I confess that this crossed my mind... then fear of being accused of arson set in. :D I approve of your darker side. By the way, thank you all who have replied to this and gave me a smile and laugh over many of the responses. Part of my post was also to vent as well and this thread has been...

    Would they charge for a service call if someone tampered with my setup?

    Yes, I did keep all of the cable up to where it was coupled. I threw their end back onto their property. :) I'll be honest, I'm starting to suspect that, but not sure. The part of the cable on their property looks like it was fastened against the walls of their roof as if it was done...

    Would they charge for a service call if someone tampered with my setup?

    LOL Yes I did.. I wasn't going to get into that part - but I tracked it back to a house an astounding 3 houses away! The houses aren't that far apart, so it's not like it's huge lots away but shoot, still... I disconnected it and saw that it was coupled with a female/female connector close to...

    Would they charge for a service call if someone tampered with my setup?

    Thanks.. I agree I think I'll leave the tampering out should I call them. I don't have the protection plan but it seems like it's not very expensive for them to come out to realign. At least I'm hoping that's all it is. The external 118 seems to flow through. I can get to the dish, but every...

    Would they charge for a service call if someone tampered with my setup?

    Well, I didn't say that they shouldn't - but was wondering if anyone else had experience with this and I guess I was wondering how much that would cost. $15 is very reasonable!

    Would they charge for a service call if someone tampered with my setup?

    I received a Complete Signal Loss error today (Signal Code 11-12-11) and upon inspection of my setup, I discovered that my dishes were tampered with. I have an eastern arc setup plus an additional dish connected for 118. I used only 2 of the 3 receiver ports but someone had connected a cable...

    Al Jazeera America

    CCTV is state owned and I wouldn't call their coverage that objective by any means - perhaps they get close to it with stories that serve absolutely no interest to the forbidden city, but I wouldn't consider them to be any more objective than any other news source reporting on items that are...

    KBS World Channel 1993 Problem

    That's a killer - there was no active notification at all. You only found out when you tried to watch the channel on Aug 7.

    KBS World Channel 1993 Problem

    I know what you mean - this really just ended up with being that Dish not being able to provide what you need - so no amount of discount could keep you around. I've always generally have had positive experiences with the people I spoke to there, but in the end what can you do? KBS was the last...

    KBS World Channel 1993 Problem

    Just one clarification - KBS World when it was on Dish was available on AT120 and above, not the packages below. The reason I know this (it's been wrong on their website) is because just a little more than a month ago I downgraded from AT250 to Dish America and lost KBS World. I called a rep...

    They really need to update the package channel listings on their website...

    Just out of curiosity - how did you know that it's only the AT120 and up? I really couldn't find the data it anywhere (or didn't look hard enough) and relied on the Dish site which shows it for the Dish America package that is one step below AT120. Interesting that it's not available on the WA...

    They really need to update the package channel listings on their website...

    I downgraded my package from AT250 to Dish America because all I wanted was one channel (I know, strange and expensive - but I have another provider and need KBS World from Dish).. I thoroughly checked and compared the packages on the website and KBS World is listed for Dish America as well...

    Gotta love Dish!!

    I think they all do this because they know that the chances are that the average customer WON'T cancel and go to another provider - so they call your bluff. I think the people here on these forums are certainly savvy enough to beat them at their game, but for each one of us that call D*'s or...

    msg and msg+ wil they give in

    Every item you brought up is as much speculation as were my points - except that they are skewed to think that Dish is doing all it can for the common good for it's customers. I am not so naive to think that Dish would not have added more HD channels, or give me a premium move channel for a...

    msg and msg+ wil they give in

    Frankly I can't stand Mike Francesca, but I'm not ready to take sides on either MSG or E*. If I for one second believed that my rates for E* would not be increased as a result of non-carriage of MSG, then I would see their side. However, now that E* has not carried MSG for like 2 years now...

    msg and msg+ wil they give in

    I have both Dish Network and Time Warner Cable. I also happen to watch MSG Networks a lot - so this truly has sucked for me. Frankly I think no one comes looking like a rose in all of this. I hate MSG and really any other networks trying to be greedy but I would be a fool to think that Time...

    Hard Drive Failure - Error 311 - on my 722 ViP

    Thanks for the heads up... I'll weigh my options and perhaps try to contact them online somehow. Sending a tech just for an IRD swap wouldn't be my favorite option (unless they could pinpoint a specific hour on a weekend - LOL). I'm hoping that I don't end up getting into a loop of returning...

    Hard Drive Failure - Error 311 - on my 722 ViP

    Oh, well, it looks like one of my 722s has experienced a hard drive failure. I received the Hard Drive Failure error message 311 that tells me to unplug the receiver for 10 seconds and plug it back in to see if the error would go away. It doesn't and there went my recordings of the Bejing...

    FIRST LOOK - Logitech Revue GoogleTV Device

    That's interesting because it seemed that you were directly asking what someone would use it for when you yourself has no use for it because you had the 922. I am not sure which lines I were supposed to read between to gather all that. There is no need to apologize since I had already said I...

    Worst company ever...

    I read through this thread and feel the same. I don't know why everyone is poking fun at the $20 because it's so low, when it's Dish that made changes that would require the OP to have a different satellite lineup to get what he/she is already paying for. It's not the $20, it's the principle.

    FIRST LOOK - Logitech Revue GoogleTV Device

    Why are you assuming that everyone has the same set-up as you? Some people may not have playon or another box to play netflix on tv. I don't think GoogleTV is meant for people who already have equivalent things, but when I read something like "what would you use it for because I certainly...
