    Erroneous sale of ViP 211 + Smart Card

    Update: Thankfully the buyer was great to deal with, return shipped the receiver back and never complained. The money was refunded to him and the original renter of the receiver/card will be getting his rented equipment back so that he can ship it back to Dish. He's basically out the shipping...

    Erroneous sale of ViP 211 + Smart Card

    1. The website seems to say $200 for HD and $100 for SD receivers + $50 for the smart card if not returned. Anyone know if that's right? 2. What if buyer doesn't return equipment, I assume dish just charges original customer the fee from #1 above? 3. Is there a contact at Dish to discuss the...

    Erroneous sale of ViP 211 + Smart Card

    Please answer the following if you know: Say someone doesn't realize they are renting a VIP211 receiver, and accidentally gives it + remote + smart card to a friend. Then the friend sells the equipment on ebay and ships it across the country after being paid via paypal. What is the original...

    Something Dish, Direct, etc don't want you to know...

    I'm not trying to pick on you, but if you got the "numbers from your boss" then you think the you could just relay the numbers instead of inflating them. I can't tell if you are making things up or what. We do have some sources referenced that show actual numbers. You have not provided a...

    Something Dish, Direct, etc don't want you to know...

    What's your source? So far it looks incorrect compared to what we've been seeing for years. If they mark everything up 4x like it would have to be with your original post here, we'd be paying a lot more than we do for our programming.

    HDMI for Video, RCA cables (red, white) for audio

    I guess with 14 foot high speakers you might be looking for louder. :) Joking aside, usually the settings on the home stereo will be what makes the signal change louder/quieter depending on the surround mode. I've seen the same with a 15 year old Yamaha and a 2 year old Onkyo. I end up...

    My Dish Bill Getting out of Hand Any Ideas?

    Mine looks like a good DVD on my home theater. I play mine through my Wii, then Onkyo home theater, then to my HDTV. Maybe it's how you are setup. I have a 5.0MB cable internet service through wireless to the Wii.

    Free Gun with new Dish Network install

    We have offers around here "Free gun with vehicle purchase" and the like. It doesn't surprise me to hear that out of Hamilton, MT. If you're from this part of the country (at least not the bigger cities around) it's not unusual.

    Anyone downgrade their subscriptions and gone to NETFLIX for the movies?

    rob, I don't know all the details, but when I recorded programs from free previews and didn't start watching them prior to the channel dropping off my list of available channels, I couldn't start the playback. It may be a fluke, but I got the impression that if you recorded a program and...

    Goodbye Charlie... (OFFICIAL I am Leaving DISH Thread)

    Dave - that switch sounds like a good idea and keeps prices competitive if subscribers do this.

    OTA EPG Info Incorrect or Displaying 'Digital Service' Discussion Thread

    I hope TonyT can help you guys and maybe so with the non-LIN networks, but methinks efforts will be squelched if they go higher up with any LIN related channels... Good luck.

    I forgot to say goodbye, so goodbye. It was fun while it lasted (the good pricing that is).

    Dish/LIN OTA EPG Potential Fix

    When we had a similar issue here with Fisher, I'm sure it was Dish not being willing to provide the data through for the OTA guide. Especially since one day in the middle of the dispute it started working normally, and then it went back to 'important info' again. I wrote both companies and all...

    Anyone downgrade their subscriptions and gone to NETFLIX for the movies?

    I downgraded all the way - and upgraded to NETFLIX via Wii, and it's excellent. It also costs less than adding a movie package with a sat. provider. It's much better than it was in the past and I recommend it.

    Dish HD vs Disney (DISH sort of won...)

    I sure like having HD Disney back. :)

    Just switched from Dish Network to DirecTV.... One man's feelings

    Depending on who he talked to in signing up, that does sounds right if you add in the tax for a sub-total of $198 + 6% sales tax. It's more than I paid, so it doesn't sound out of order. I got all those for $99 when I signed up. I coulldn't figure it out and gave up trying. I'm sending the...

    Convince me to stay with Dish / Tell me where I am wrong

    As a customer having had both setups, I like the D* (2) HR-24 setup better. The media share between both receivers (4 tuners worth) has come in handy more that I thought it would. I tried to get the most similar setup when switching. There are a few things I miss, but nothing major now that...

    Convince me to stay with Dish / Tell me where I am wrong

    For the $6 extra to have a 2nd receiver is worth it. That way you get 4 HD satellite recordings, and not limited to the OTA for 2 of them. Though it comes down to personal preference. They are not that dis-similar overall. So if the cost isn't swaying someone, the functionality is what would...
