    Dish trying to get Disney to kick back some ESPN fees

    Absolutely. When one of my local channels was taken down in a dispute, I got a monthly credit, despite being under contract. Dish provided a monthly credit because I wasn't receiving the programming I was paying for, and they weren't paying the provider either (i.e. passing the savings along to...

    DISH releases Hopper Duo Smart DVR

    It's geared towards one- and two- TV households. A one- or two- TV household could easily exceed two tuners. If you have two TVs and both are watching live TV, you can't record anything at the same time. That would be a very unpleasant surprise for a new customer that didn't know that. I'm a...

    Media General Stations Removed from DISH, Agreement Reached

    Their FAQ is laughable. "We understand that companies like DISH Network pay substantial fees per month for the right to carry ESPN, TNT, Disney Channel, and others. These channels have NO local programming, NO local employees, NO local investments, and little to no audience, all unlike...

    Just cancelled, question about returning equipment.

    I was also asked to return my remotes when I cancelled in February. One suggestion I would make is that you do NOT use the prepaid label. I think they charge you $17 if you use the label. I paid Fedex about $9 to ship it. Unless you're shipping a couple of bricks with the receiver, the $17...

    Hopper tuners

    Gotta love that Dish Network logic. Yes, you can record six channels but four of those are restricted to ABC, CBS, NBC, and Fox. The Genie can record ANY five channels. If you want to record, for example, History Channel, A&E, and ESPN all at the same time, you're screwed with one Hopper.

    Hopper tuners

    Well, except the DirecTV Genie which has five tuners. The Hopper may have more storage space but I'd rather have five tuners with less space than two tuners (plus primetime) and more space. I've had times where I've needed more than two tuners but I've never filled up my Genie storage.

    International Price Changes Coming 11/11/10

    One small correction, Scott: That's a price increase of $9.01, unless you meant a new price of $19.99.

    What Will Dish Offer Paying Customers?

    $10 off per month for 12 months, via chat. It shows up as "Loyalty Offer XX of 12" on my bill. I was first offered PPV coupons but declined. I am not under contract.

    ComCorp station websites display "Important Information for Dish Network Customers"

    I'm confused about their analogy. "Cable, Satellite and other video providers have always paid for programming. They resist paying for local stations because they claim our programming is free. Think about this analogy, when you get a drink of water at a public drinking fountain, it is...

    ComCorp station websites display "Important Information for Dish Network Customers"

    KETK in Tyler, Texas has been running ads on its channel for over a month. The funny thing is that they think they are worth 60 cents a month. They are the worst news station in town. I wouldn't pay crap for the station.

    How much longer do I have to wait for Fox Business Channel?

    You are losing money because you can't base your stock purchase decisions on the recommendations of television personalities since making money at the stock market is as easy as listening to the Fox Business Channel and does not require you to do any research whatsoever? You're kidding, right...

    What is the purpose of having ESPN alternate and Sports alternate channels?

    From time to time, they do show alternate games in certain areas. Although they may be blacked out in your area, they are showing somewhere so they are not just wasting space.
