    Still under 2 yr contract - can Dish raise $$ on me?

    I am still under a 2 year contract (signed up in Feb of 2008). I am paying about $41 per month right now (including HD-DVR, locals and the $29.99 programming DishHD). I heard rumors about price increases. Am I subjected to that? Is there anything I can do to get out of the price increase...

    New Channel Discussions and Impressions

    I have the $29.99 Dish HD package (stand alone). Will I be getting these channels (other than the Cinemax I suppose). Actually I also have Cinemax for a penny for a year deal. So, I should see those also.

    New DishHD $29.99 HD Only Package Details

    Super Dish or Dish 500 I am a first time dish customer. Just got my installation done a week ago. I got the Dish HD package. The installer got me the Dish 500 3-LNB dish. I have the VIP-722 receiver and I have signed up for 2 year commitment. I asked the installer if it would be better...

    Experience with the 722. It is a pretty nice piece of hardware. My old Sony DHG-HDD250 was sluggish. The 722 is a lot better. Also, the OTA tuner in it is very sensitive. I could not bring in an out door antenna into my basement since I have only one coax coming in, so I hooked up a silver...

    I got my dish installed yesterday. It took forever!! I hate the wiring in my house. The basement was finished by the previous owner and I don't know what they did to the wiring. There are four coax outlets in the basement alone and only one worked from the outside. I was using it for my...

    I have never had Dish before. I just called the dishstore people and signed up for DishHD + Locals + HDDVR for $40.97/ month. My installation is scheduled for Sunday 2/24. I know I should request the public access channels (including Colours) for free after the installation. I called Dish to...

    Feedback needed on DishHD I don't have any cable/dish right now. We get our HD OTA only. My wife and I are tempted to get the dishHD package. I have a question to those that got the dishHD ($29.99 deal) recently. Do you think it is worth it? Do you actually watch all those channels or are...

    New DishHD $29.99 HD Only Package Details

    I have never had dish. Does Dish have a historic record of retroactively adding channels to a package (when it becomes available). I would like to know where Dish would put SciFi and USA when it does become available? Logically, this should be added to all current DishHD ($29.99) customers...

    New DishHD $29.99 HD Only Package Details

    The CSR said that I could get 722 or 622 or 612. They will choose but I can request one in the installation comments. That seems a little awkward. What happens if the installer brings the wrong one. I want the 722. I haven't ordered yet. Still debating. I watch mostly local HD using a...

    New DishHD $29.99 HD Only Package Details

    I just confirmed with the CSR, that one HD-DVR with dishHD package is 29.99 + 5.98. That's it. Add $5.00 for the locals. Also, they have cash back rebates to for $120. (1st, 10th and 20th month).

    New DishHD $29.99 HD Only Package Details

    I went into Dish Builder and did the dishHD package (I am a new prospective customer), and I don't see the dish enabling fee. I chose DVR - it says $5.98 for that. It also gave me a $39.99 rebate for the first month. Apparently, I will get that rebate for 10th and 20th month of service too...

    New DishHD $29.99 HD Only Package Details

    I have never had dish. I had DirecTV long time ago. I currently have nothing. I just have a HDTV and am tempted to get the Dish HD package. I don't watch any SD channels. I know they are advertising $29.99. However, does anyone have realistic actual cost for each month. Also, will I get...

    what happen to the free 622?

    Well, I tried with one HDTV and no DVR as well as one HD/one SD and HD DVR and I see a $6/month HD enabling fee. This is in addition to $20 HD package. That is ridiculous. No wonder I keep going back to OTA.

    what happen to the free 622?

    I am not a dish customer right now. Just for research, I went to their website to look at packages and it took me to the dishbuilder page. However, that page refused to allow a DVR 622 unless I had two TVs. I just have one HDTV and I would like a 622. There was no way to do that - I am...

    Where's the New Dish Info... "DISH Network Offers Free High Definition DVR"

    What about the $200 rebate for the first 10 months? Dish is running a special (since at least last month) for new customers. They can get Dish HD Bronze for $29.99 instead of $49.99/month for 10 months. They told me that basically pays for the $199 lease upgrade fee. I bet they are going to...

    Is Using Over Air Antennae for HD Worth it?

    There is SDTV vs HDTV While both HDTV and SDTV use the ATSC spec of digital transmission, many smaller city TV stations don't have HDTV capability but only SDTV. I know first hand because I used to live in Erie, PA and none of their stations were HD except PBS. Fox, ABC, and NBC could only...
