    I'm Done with Dish

    Link please? I'm not talking about grain. This is digital blocking. I'm not just talking about show opening graphics. This is sports motion, stage lighting in concert footage, explosions/fire, etc, Anything with fast changing/moving video that encoding can't keep up with because the bitrate is...

    I'm Done with Dish

    The flaw in this logic is that OTA has 19Mb to work with, and when they add one or two subchannels it's down to 8-10Mb for the video on the primary. I have had OTA for 12 years and watched it go downhill as subchannels got added. This week I could not believe my eyes when I got Comcast. The...

    I'm Done with Dish

    After 13 years with Dish, I'm done. Started with a 300 box, to 6000 box, to 722. Always been satisfied with HD Only channel package but when they kicked everyone off Absolute, I only stayed because of discounts. Now those discounts are expired and my bill is now double what it was. So I started...

    722 top cover

    Looks like 13 years with Dish may be coming to a close soon... I modified the top cover of my 722 in attempt to cool it down. So when I send this thing back they are surely gonna hit me with some kind of "damage" fee. Just wondering how much? I'm checking eBay for parts, but wondering how...

    New to Sling Adapter

    Had it working before, but now I have this exact problem. Login fine, shows I have 722 w/Slingbox but nothing listed under recordings or timers or my rentals. Only option showing up is +Add Timer. On Demand works, Guide works, Live Tv works. Clicking refresh does just says "Reloading DVR...

    BBMP not a good deal

    For me the platinum channels are worth it but I had BB before Dish took over and was getting 7-8 new release blurays a month (1 by mail + 1 in store per week). Now that's dropped to 3-4 a month if that. Right now, it's been 9 business days and nothing has shipped. If it wasn't for the platinum...

    Locals free?

    1. They are not free. 2. Do not assume he has been paying for them, his bill may go up by $5/mo now. 3. Whenever anyone has any transaction/contact with Dish locals will be added, without notification or permission, and will be billed extra for it, and they can't be removed...

    Ordered Sling, (everyone) Forced to Add Locals

    You will notice from my chat that I escalated through three levels of customer service to ERT, who still refused to put me back where I was, instead offering two years locals free of charge. I took that because I have other monthly credits that will expire before then and I may not even be...

    Ordered Sling, (everyone) Forced to Add Locals

    Then Dish obviously doesn't understand the concept of grandfathered. If you really want to help, change the way Dish makes hidden unauthorized "automatic" account changes for customers who are grandfathered!

    Ordered Sling, (everyone) Forced to Add Locals

    Dont contact dish to make any sort of change on your account or else they will automatically sign you up for locals and they wont change you back. They do this all the time. My account is now riddled with three different monthly credits because they do these automatic changes, cant reverse...

    Ordered Sling, (everyone) Forced to Add Locals

    Not according to my past bills. I had AT200 without locals for $54.99 plus $6 DVR. After they added the locals today it went to $60 plus $6 DVR.

    Ordered Sling, (everyone) Forced to Add Locals

    Why can't Dish just do what I ask without changing my programming? Last time they automatically took me off HD Absolute (required multiple calls to ERT to get it back)... This time I chat to get free Sling deal and they automatically added locals to my programming (no mention during the chat...

    DISH Cinema > My My Rental are Disappearing

    I have downloaded some free movies from DISH Platinum and they show up in DISH Cinema under My Rentals. It says they will remain available for 29 days 22 hours... Then the next day if I go look for them they are gone and what's in there now is some weird Spongebob and something else. They say...

    DISH 722k PSIP On Over The Air Channels

    I am seeing the guide info for my locals too (don't pay for locals, just use antenna). This happens from time to time and usually as soon as it leaks from this site they take it back down. I was hoping it would allow me to see my locals when I go to Dish Online and view my DVR to schedule...

    Blockbuster switches to single-day pricing

    I wonder how they will handle me when I come in to the store to use my "Total Access Plan" which includes 5 free in-store exchanges per billing month? The current rule is that I can keep the exchanged store disc for 3 days, then they charge .99 each additional day. If they tell me I can only...
