    NEW DISH Pricing as of May 23, 2013

    Does anyone know or venture to guess at the answer to this question: If I have a 1 hopper, i joey setup and decide after the price hike to add a joey, would my fees go up to the new pricing? Conversely, if I had two joeys and dropped one, would that affect the grandfathered fees? Thanks, Fran

    Hopper Upgrades

    Can a DIRT team member contact me about upgrading from a 622 w/ehd and a 211 w/ehd dvr to a 1 HWS with the OTA module and 1 Joey setup?

    Questions before I upgrade.

    Thanks for the replies. I didn't think I could keep the 211 recordings, but was hoping there might be a way to transfer them to another device or something. I doubt I would keep it on the account, especially with the fees going up, as it would defeat my purpose, which is to have all recordings...

    Questions before I upgrade.

    I currently have a 622 w/EHD and a 211 w/EHD as a dvr. I've been thinking about upgrading to a 1 Hopper/1 Joey system for a while and am just about ready to pull the trigger, despite the fact that this fee increase is just around the corner. But, I do have a few questions that I haven't been...

    Did you get a free Roku offer?

    OK, here's one for you. I called, spoke to a csr who offered me $5 off a month for three months and told me I could watch the shows through Amazon or itunes. I told him $5 wasn't enough to cover the cost of the programs I'd be missing, plus I didn't want to watch them on my computer. He...

    Christmas gifts from DISH!

    I lease a 622, I'd like to add a 211. With this deal, will I own the 211 or is it a lease? I 'm guessing that either way I'll be incurring an additional monthly charge of 5 or 6 bucks for either lease or additional receiver fee. Fran

    How do you like the new HD Channels

    None of the new channels are anything I watch with any regularity, so I put down for unimpressed. Overall, I'm actually happy with the additions, even if they aren't channels that I watch, because I think the more HD the better. Personally, though, I'd rather the bandwidth be given to presenting...

    New HD channel...?'s and fears

    It's all about the money. Any of these shows can be shot in HD now. Heck, even most of the people I know who shoot weddings for a living shoot in HD. But you have to invest in the new equipment, and instead of paying camera crews that you hire around the country bottom dollar, you have to give...

    Comcast Sports Net Chicago in HD or NOT??

    All the Cubs/Sox games this weekend will be on both CSN and WGN. CSN will have Hawk and DJ on Friday and Sunday, WGN on Saturday. Csn Will Have Bob and Len on Saturday, WGN on Friday and Sunday. I got the impression from speaking with someone at CSN recently that they expected Dish would be...

    Comcast Sportsnet HD in Chicago

    No they won't. Tonight's game is not one of the five home games the Blackhawks were forced to televise.

    NHL uses Dish DVR

    Just another example of how the NHL doesn't have a clue as to what they are doing. From Video replays being done in Toronto using Dish network, to a schedule where Long-time rivals and original six teams like the Blackhawks and Maple Leafs play each other only once a year, the NHL is ruing their...

    NHL uses Dish DVR

    All the replay judging for all the games is done in Toronto. Not at the arena. So it makes sense that they would use something like dish to call the plays. I can tell you that we don't send a feed to toronto every game. Fran

    Best remote for 622 & everything else?

    If I were to get a universal remote for my main viewing area, could I use the tv1 remote for the 622 as a uhf remote in another room to comtrol tv2?

    My own conclusion: MPEG4 upgrade will be free.

    Reading between the lines, Charlie essentially said that all subscribers are moving to mpeg-4. That means all current boxes will be obsolete. It will be a huge cost for Dish to replace everyone's box, but can you imagine the cost of the class action lawsuit they'll be hit with when they tell all...

    Sportsnet Chicago..how about Philly???

    The reason CSN Chicago is on the Birds is that CSN Chicago is a joint venture between Comcast adn the Bulls, Blackhawks, White Sox and Cubs. The Teams have insited that the channel be offered to all comers who are willing to pay the price for it. They want penetration, while in Philly, Comcast...
