    Canadian - audit worries

    I am only getting one receiver, but I may want to add second in a few months. There's a slight chance I'll want to add a 3rd for my garage at a later date, but I don't see myself ever going past 3. I guess if I do that I'll have to run the VOIP lines to the other, or rotate the receivers...

    Canadian - audit worries

    So I was just about ready to subscribe but now I am reading some threads about audits and it has me worried. Being in Canada I don't know if it's safe to connect the receiver to my phone or even my internet. I have read that if its not connected for long periods of time, you'll draw and audit...

    DPP Twin and DP single for 110/119/129

    Ok, so I hooked up the new LNB to the DPP Twin and check switch looks good. Just for reference in case anyone was wondering why I was confused, here is a photo of the LNB: As you can see it has the regular Dish Pro logo on one side, but the Dish Pro Plus on the other. Anyone know why it...

    DPP Twin and DP single for 110/119/129

    I got the LNB tonight, and though I haven't tested it yet I did want to check again here because it does have the DP PLUS logo on the inside tag/sticker that also has the lot num. and P/N. On the other side, the outside surface you would see when installed, the logo appears to be only the DP...

    Platinum HD Question

    How do you get it for $4.99? I was considering it, but it says $10. I would be signing up as new customer.

    Thanks, never though about booting it unplugged from dish. Works.

    Aim with unactivated receiver

    I was doing this by hitting sysinfo button a few times and then cancelling out of that and hittig MENU on the remote. I let the receiver update to latest software and that trick doesn't seem to work now. It's a 211, anyone know how I can get into the menus now?

    Move from EA 1000.4 dish to 110/119/129

    I think this may be the last question I need answered :). If I get Dish in MI I guess they will set me up with the 1000.4 EA dish. If I later move myself to a different setup with 110/119/129 will anything go wrong? Will the receiver or my subscription be somehow tied to the other...

    129 or 61.5?

    I was reading an old thread about several new at the time HD channels that were on 129 but not on 61.5. So I am wondering, is there a difference? In MI I expect to be setup with the EA dish, but if there's more channels on 129 I'd rather do my own setup with 129 instead. I am not going to...

    DPP Twin and DP single for 110/119/129

    I've been searching and reading, but just want to make sure I have this correct. Use a Dish Pro Plus twin for 110/119 on the Y adapter on an old Bell dish. The dish was an older Bell dual legacy that can get 110/119, and it looks like the DPP twin will mount right onto the Y piece. Then...

    Subbing Dish from Canada

    What is a "flex account"? Maybe I am just too paranoid about what the installer thinks, I mean will they really care if the house appears to be vacant and/or under construction? Do they personally even care about things like this anyway considering it doesn't affect their bottom line? Or...

    Subbing Dish from Canada

    So, overall what does everyone think about the install at a house that is largely vacant with most parts under construction? Would the installer possibly flag the account for audit? Or am I just paranoid? There aren't even any TVs there, but I can bring a 24" HDTV.

    Subbing Dish from Canada

    There are just so many more channels I like from the US services. One thing is movies, many of the Canadian "movie" channels have commercials. I also love History and History Int'l, and Canada's History Television just doesn't stack up. One really annoying thing is often the latest season of...

    Subbing Dish from Canada

    What about bringing the equipment into Canada? Anyone have any experiences with that? Trouble? Am I better off shipping it to myself?

    Subbing Dish from Canada

    I live on the border, but the US address location is about an hour outside Detroit. To be clear, are you recommended this reseller because they are friendly to Canadians that want to do this? I mean, are they OK dealing with me AND actually knowing what I am doing? Or maybe you just wanted...

    Subbing Dish from Canada

    Regarding location, I am right near Detroit. Would I be able to use my older dishes and a new Dish switch to get the birds I need and fed to the receiver? Or, will I have to find a 1000.x setup? I don't need a DVR, I was just going to get the default "RCVR 211/411 HD SOLO" from their online...

    Subbing Dish from Canada

    I searched the forums for a bit, there was a long thread about subbing DTV. From what I read this kind of thing is OK to discuss here, but if I am mistaken then sorry about that. So I have a US address and my friend will handle the CC payment for me. My main issues are with the physical...

    Bad News For Hackers

    Security does not necessarily create sales Just to address some points, as I find this interesting, here's my 2 cents: The fact that services like Dish Network and ExpressVu use the DVB standard makes them quite open to hacking, especially by clever software running on other standard DVB...
