    Dish Continues to Lose Pay-TV Subscribers

    cable isn't available to everyone and some places are not up to snuff, but in the places where it is good- it is good. Except for their equipment, of course. Our tivos are great, the roku app works incredibly well, and every TV in the house is connected and in HD. We are saving ~$100/month...

    Dish Continues to Lose Pay-TV Subscribers

    left dish earlier this year after about ~10 years of service. it was a tough decision to make but the ever increasing cost finally got to us. we have always had twc for internet. we decided to give their triple play bundle a shot. of course, we bought tivos to avoid the fees. for cable cards...

    Tried to cancel

    probably. when we cancelled in January, they offered us $50 a month off for a year, plus HBO and skinemax for a year with no contract. we still left.

    Dish receiver Swap....... Shenanigans!

    all the 311 receivers we have worked with only had one SAT connection and no TV2 output connections. guess the "k" makes all this difference since these are listed as remanufactured. you are probably spot on about the 211n..... lol

    Dish receiver Swap....... Shenanigans!

    That is what was strange. It still had both tuners, and even showed the error for tuner2 after running the check switch. The software did not include any of the options for tv2. clearly it is a neutered 322.

    Dish receiver Swap....... Shenanigans!

    Went to install replacement receiver today. They sent just the receiver- nothing else. On another note, it was a 311k, but the receiver was a dual tuner with the tv2 connection ports blocked out, and tuner2 was inaccessible in the menus. Had never seen this before. There was an issue after the...

    Dish receiver Swap....... Shenanigans!

    agreed. the notification could have gotten lost in the mail, but they are still paying for these days they are without. is it too much to expect a call to the customer before just cutting off their programming? does DN really rely on the mail to that extent? their bill always arrives and did...

    Dish receiver Swap....... Shenanigans!

    Set the parents up about ~3 years ago. As members here, we were aware of the swap and notified the parents to be one the lookout for the notice. They never received one. And for those with the snarky comments- there are some people in this world that do not own computers or use the internet...

    Dish receiver Swap....... Shenanigans!

    We cancelled dish in January after ~10 years. We were skeptical at first, but are very happy we did. We had a 722 and a 211k (still do) that worked flawlessly. We set the parents up with our old 301 on the welcome pack + encore. they have been very happy with it, even with the price...

    DISH Guarantees $250 Savings to Satellite Pay-TV Customers Who Switch

    not to mention you can hook up as many tvs as you want- and still get some HD. we were amazed to see how many channels are in HD on the sets without a box. if it's an option, it is something to consider. definitely more bang for the buck. if sat is the only option, then jumping back in forth...

    DISH Guarantees $250 Savings to Satellite Pay-TV Customers Who Switch

    yes, but they will have to do more than just "promos" to keep people.

    DISH bill when up $5

    yes, we purchased tivos to avoid the $25/mo box fee from them. according to what we have been told, the price after promotion will be $20 more.

    DISH bill when up $5

    Yeah, if it has to be SAT. Sure things changed, prices went up,and incentives disappeared. But all in all, dish was good to us. DIRT is a huge asset that kept us from leaving during the AMC dispute. The parents are still on dish (we set them up), and are still ok with it. If this latest...

    DISH bill when up $5

    Agreed! Had been a loyal satellite junkie for years, but it just did not not seem cost effective anymore. Satellite, internet, and home phone has just gone up too much. Never thought we would ever sub to cable tv, but looking to save some money, we decided to give the $89 bundle a try. It is...

    DISH bill when up $5

    CS offered $50/mo discount for a year + HBO and skinemax. We cut them off anyway. The decision had been made. Call to cancel and see what they offer you.

    America Silver price

    this is the exact same conclusion we came to! said our goodbye on monday after almost 10 years. we went with 3 TivoHD boxes w/ lifetime. we received a notice, though, that our plain jane home phone line will be going up too... we already pay ~$38/mo for it now. we are going to give the cable...

    Cancelled dish

    hope they get it right for us. got 3 automated emails saying "You have cancelled your DISH service. Per our conversation, a return fee has been added to your DISH account for each each box required to return your equipment." we own all our equipment. really hope this does not become a soap...

    Cancelled dish

    agreed. We went all the way down to at120 over the years to adjust. It just didn't feel like we were getting our money's worth anymore. The free cable in really crappy- no HD at all. We get the big 4 via OTA in very nice HD. From the way it "looks", the bundle will save us quite a bit of...

    Cancelled dish

    We have free cable (crappy as hell) in our area. That + OTA on the TivoHD provides quite a bit to watch. However, we just got a notice that our home phone will be going up next month. After taxes and all for a PLAIN jane phone line, we pay ~$38/mo. We currently pay TWC ~$80/month for...

    Cancelled dish

    Just cancelled dish yesterday after almost 10 years. They made some enticing offers- $50/mo off for one year + HBO & Cinemax for one year with no contract extension. it was tempting, but the decision had already been made. Thanks everyone for all the help over the years. DIRT is fantastic.
