    Dish-landlord-legal questions

    Except he said the landlord did sign the consent forms. If these are anything like I've signed in the past (I'm an evil landlord too), I suspect these forms essentially sign away the dish and cabling to the landlord, and release the satellite company from any responsibility. Unless the...

    DISH Network Leads Pay TV Industry in Customer Satisfaction Index

    I guess Geronimo's post explains it all for me. I am EXTREMELY happy with Dish (and DirecTV -- yes, I have both) because I do my own installation. Like Geronimo says, I am not too pleased with the channel disputes that Dish often has (like that going on with MLB EI). However, I figure...

    CBS Just Showed UP

    Just a thought, but I read somewhere (maybe on this board) that Dish was mapping the NPS channels to the old East/West channel numbers. I wonder if what you guys are seeing could be an anomoly related to that.

    What states ban adult channels from being broadcast?

    I know that everything is available in S.C. and Georgia. N.C. has restrictions on certain channels -- even in metro areas such as Charlotte.

    Dish Network: Distant Networks

    I have subscribed to DNS through both DISH and DirecTV in the past, and they were actually easier to get through DirecTV than with DISH. In fact, it took months for me to be able to acquire the necessary waivers from the local broadcasters because DISH's computer said I "should be able" to pick...

    Dish Network: Distant Networks

    Until recently (within the past couple of days), I was given access to the options to add DNS when going to the "add local channels" section of Dish's website. I suspect that I may have been one of the last customers to have access to this since I have waivers and have had DNS for almost 10...

    Dish Network: Distant Networks

    Replying to long_time_DNC's question above -- isn't that covered under fair use? I would like to know since I have found myself in that situation numerous times.

    NFL Network

    Good luck. Charter (and probably most of the other cable companies) appear to be taking the position that since only a "small number" of NFL games will be televised on NFL Network, the customers really won't be missing out on much. However, I also believe NFL Network could be making a...

    Tonight & The Rest of the Echostar X Moving Schedule

    Is the transition even noticable? I figured it would be pretty seamless. I wish I could find out exactly when it happens for the two Greenville SC locals on 129 so I could observe (strange...yes...don't ask :D ).

    Uplink Activity for the week of Monday April 10th Echo X Month :)

    That may very well be what is happening. According to the predicted contour map on Echostaruser.com, the edge of that spot is some 60 miles away from my location.

    Uplink Activity for the week of Monday April 10th Echo X Month :)

    Evidently, Echostar is still making some fine tuning adjustments on their satellite. I don't think anything has changed on my side, but the strength for Transponder 12 - Spotbeam 10 (I think that's the one with the Knoxville stations) dropped from around 71 to 44 last night at around 2 am, and...

    Dish getting ready for war with Hearst?

    For what it's worth, I thought I would toss this into the discussion. (Please forgive if it is mentioned elsewhere). The following link basically states that Hearst-Argyle is charging 50 cents a month, per subscriber, for 2006; 55 cents in 2007; and 60 cents in 2008 to distributors who do...
