I would definitely be interested! I have Hopper 3 and 4 joeys.

I am interested in a hopper 3 upgrade! Thanks, Brian

Of course the safety of the installer is more important than my $50 referral :-)

I am a long term, happy Dish customer. I convinced my parents to take advantage of a bundle deal with our local telephone company. When the installer go to their house, he immediately went to the side of the house, mounted a dish and proceeded to tell my parents that he couldn't get a signal...

So I am now elligible to upgrade my two - 622s to 722s (I could use the extra space and a Sling Adapter is on my Christmas list). I called them up and said no problem, but that a technician would have to be dispatched. When I asked why, they said it was needed to install the boxes. I further...

I was the one that said it was mistake, however intended to be sarcastic (hence the "/end pipedream" footer). I know they don't go in order of DMA, just frustrating that DirecTV has been offering HD Locals for a while now.

Typo I believe one of their slides has a typo. I am sure they meant Rochester, NY instead of Rochester, MN. /End Pipedream

When the installer came out, he told me that his boss told him to try and use the 500+ plus to get all three, some sort of experiment. That in the next month or so they are going to be coming out with a "Border Dish" which they think is really just a 500+ with "a new sticker" as he said...

Last week I had 110/119/61.5. When the new HD came out on 72, I asked Dish via chat "What can be done to get me the new HD." They sent someone out, from Dish, who gave me a 500+ and has it aimed at 61.5, 72 and 77. And then I still have my old 500 aimed at 110/119. When you say they are not...

Tech left, here is the summary: 1) Didn't have any trouble getting someone out here, did pay a $15 fee (which I am not going to get excited about, even on principle). 2) I had 2 - 500s pointed at 110/119 and 61.5. CSR put in the computer for the tech to put up a 1000.x to grab 110/119 and...

Thanks for the heads up. It is my understanding that I am going to have a 500 pointed at 110/119; and then this new wide dish (the tech keeps referring to is as a "border dish" pointed at 61.5 and 77. But I will certainly be sure to verify.

Tech at my house as we speak I have a tech at my house installing some jumbo dish to get me the new channels (I was on 110/119/61.5). I can tell he is a knowledgeable guy because one of the first words out of his mouth was "by the way, what the CSR told you was wrong . . ." *rimshot* I was...

My two cents While no one really knows how the conversation went between OP and Dish, here are my inferences: 1) The OP is an excitable and easily angered person - based on the original post. There is a lot to be said with a calm manner of speaking to people with an auditor from Dish, and...

Not quite sure whether or not the service was on or off had anything to do with whether or not you owe them for the receiver. Bottom line is that you are leasing it from them. And whether it was stolen while you were outside cutting the lawn or on a trip around the world, they still want it...

I have 2 - 622 receivers. In the upper left hand corner next to the Dish logo shows my receiver number with a drop down number next to it. Click on that drop down arrow and you can select which receiver you are looking at.

What I use I use a router configured with dd-wrt software. It allows you to take certain brand of wireless routers and turn them into wireless access points (IE plug an ethernet cable from your set-top box to the router and then the router connects to your home wifi network.) Google dd-wrt...

I too am frustrated with the lack of HD in Rochester, NY. DirecTV has had it for over a year now, so I would hope that would put some pressure on them. Frustrating. As far as CW, don't you get it OTA on 13-2?

Except that Top Chef and I believe most of their current original programming is not filmed in HD.

My two and half cents: My stupid-layman analogy: I go and buy a new car off the lot. As they are pulling it around for me to pick it up, it hits a pole and is borderline totalled. The dealership offers to repair it and give me a deal on it, or get me a new one (which may take a few weeks...

It's called overscan I am far from an expert on the technical side of this issue, however I ran into it when I recently purchased a brand new LCD TV. Basically the signal being sent is a pixel or two shy of the actual size of your TV. I see it most often on my OTA SD content where I get some...

I am not sure if it is a Dish policy or that of the local contractors, but I was told that my dog had to be secure in another room. While I thought it was because I had a pit-mix, he said whether it is a Yorkie or a Pit-Bull, they need to be in another room for the installers safety.

Yes but Yes you can by using two diplexers. You would put one diplexer outside and would have the antenna coax cable and one of your dish cables into the diplexer with the output going to the existing cable running inside. Then you would put another diplexer inside at your receiver which...

I just upgraded to Dish HD with a 622 Receiver. I also have an OTA antenna in the attic. I am having a problem with what I would call some sort of digital signal/noise/text at the top of my images: It is random, not occuring all the time It happens to both OTA locals as well as SD Dish...
