Ok. I'll give it a go tonight.

I don't think you can turn off CEC on the hopper.

Here is what I've found out so far. 1. Brand New HDMI cables did not fix anything. 2. The hopper connected directly to my Monitor or my DLP Projector causes no issues. 3. My LG BluRay player connected to the Sony HT Receiver plays fine, no matter what gets turned on or off first. Cycling the...

Just got a new sony surround sound receiver. Hooked it all up, and the hdmi from dish was purple... I thought "awe crap, the HDMI board in the Sony is bad". So I reboot the Dish Hopper red button style. Comes back perfect. I shut the receiver and the Sony off, and turn it back on. Purple...

I have no recordings scheduled on the hopper in my room. However my mother wanted to record something in the other room. Keeps saying "recording may conflict". What gives?

I'm pretty sure if there "were no hopper cards". That my receiver wouldn't be saying "please insert your smartcard".

So I asked the guy if I can cancel the replacement. He says I can only refuse the package. Seriously dish, the uneducated people you have working as representatives of your company are making it look bad. Why can't you train your reps better? This is simple sh*t, not highly technical...

Nick (ID: 04V): We have to set this up as a smartcard exchange. They would be expecting a smartcard back, or you would get charged a $50 unreturned equipment fee for that smartcard, as they are quite expensive to make. I told them I didn't have my old one! Seriously..WHY IS DISH NOT TRANING...

Seriously Dish, millions out of work and your hire these people? I asked her to check with her supervisor. Chrizel Ann (ID: J3L): Yes, I have checked as well with them Chrizel Ann (ID: J3L): You can purchase it the local retailers

Ok, now I'm a little pissed. Why doesn't Dish train their reps better? This is beyond moronic. Chrizel Ann (ID: J3L): I understand. Chrizel Ann (ID: J3L): I'm sorry to hear that Chrizel Ann (ID: J3L): Let me check what we can do with thaty Chrizel Ann (ID: J3L): One moment please Chrizel...

Hopper!

I have not had one replaced in eons, but this weekend I had family over and my 3 year old cousin thought it would be funny to take one out and chew on it. I called dish, and they said the entire receiver would need to be replaced. Since when?

We all know dish has porn, but I just found out through uh...research and stuff..that dish has it's own 18+ website for one if it's own porn channels, complete with even a dating site. Not gonna post the link here, for obvious reasons, but did some backend checking and it is indeed owned by dish.

I noticed Dish only accepts Visa and MC, Nyce, Star and Pulse. I recently got a Discover card and lo and behlold, it says "pulse" on it. So I made a payment with it, and it worked!

Couple of other things from this book. Primestar was going to go to a high powered digichiper II system in 1995, but never did. Dish was going to have a satellite at 175 west for the pacific rim. Directsat, a little know company, combined their DBS licence with echostar in 1994. Tempo was...

The prototype Dish Network System!

I'd rather pay twice a month for my service knowing it keeps a roof over someone's head in the US then to pay money to speak to someone who knows 5 words in English.

What really ticks me off is all the companies who USED to have US Based customer support and shipped the jobs to India, Philippines, etc. All the people with out jobs and these companies have the nerve to outsource support to across the pond, let alone make their product their as well. Goes to...

BTW, there was another satellite service that used Dish Network receivers but a different smart card, and for the life of me I cannot remember it. Edit, it wasn't bell either. It was a receiver that looked like a 2700 but had something else instead of the dish logo on it. I think it was used...

Were those brochures just a design, or were they actually used?

Is this it? They were planning on merging.

What I find odd is the 1996-8 archives of dish.com mention being able to use a directv satellite dish for Dish. AFAIK, Directv uses a special polarization and as such, Directv sat's can't be picked up with a FTA receiver, and a a directv lnb won't work for FTA. Can't even swap the lnb back...

Just found out, dish went "live" March 4th, 1996.

American express appears to have a show on channel 95 talking about money management. Interesting.

It's a start, all be it a small one. http://dishhistory.weebly.com/
