    Re: Dishstore Rebate

    I received my Dishstore rebate yesterday. I signed up through the store for the $125 rebate so my disconnect with Direct wasn't so painful and to support this site. I got the rebate in less than 3 weeks. Thank You Dishstore

    Problem with install How do you get past the oversea's CSR's

    I had dishnetwork installed last friday and the technician and myself did not want the dish put on the roof(new). He said we would have to have our property scanned for utility lines before he digs for a post to mount the dish on. Our dish is on the ground, sitting on a pallet. Last time I...

    SCIFI and USA HD Live!

    Sci-Fi HD was my Holy Grail of channels. My $10 monthly rebate just ended and I also checked on when my commitment will end last night. I was ready to jump ship! Looks like Charlie finally came through. Everything else now is just gravy!!

    External hard drive and PS3

    Do you mean outputting the HD to an external drive then inserting that drive to a PS3?

    DISH'n It Up Clarification needed before I upgrade

    That's great news! I received my boxes for my old receivers today, but never told them I was returning them. I do own my 811 and 501. What are they giving for their return. I see people selling the 811 0n ebay, I know I can get something for the 501.

    DISH'n It Up Clarification needed before I upgrade

    So, according to that quote, if you sign up for the DVR Advantage package, which includes the dvr fee, under the Dish'n it up promotion, do you eliminate both fees?

    Dish'n It Up Repoint Fee?

    There is no mention of this fee on their website! I'm doing the 622 upgrade myself this wednesday, they didn't tell me anything about that charge on the phone when ordering either.

    Has anyone purchased from Dishdepot.com?

    I have made 2 purchases from them. My original 5000 w/mod, and a 501. Not a single problem. Items came quickly. Great price when compared to Ebay.

    VIP622 for $199 starting 6/9/06

    Are they still giving any kind of credit for returning an 811 with this promotion. I noticed you can still get about $50 for one on Ebay.

    MPEG 4 Who is gonna pay for it

    Jim S is also correct. Van's analogy should be, if the auto industry quit using gas as a fuel source, then my car would become obsolete. If they plan on cutting off Mpeg2 for HD, then replace my 811 for a 211 free and clear.

    MPEG 4 Who is gonna pay for it

    I agree with alex06. I was customer when the 5000 w/mod solution was rolled out. I got that for nothing as a new customer but also had to purchase a standalone STB for $500 to make that work, and used that till it wasn't supported anymore. I dropped them refusing to purchase the 6000 system and...

    DishHD and Dish'n It Up Details

    I have never leased anything. If I can't buy it, I go without it till I can. Atleast I might get something back later. There's almost always someone that will buy it used on Ebay. I sold my 5000 w the mod for almost what I paid for it, and that was after 3 years use.

    DishHD and Dish'n It Up Details

    I've been reading about these upgrade options for mpeg4 and the new receivers. I've been with dish network for 6 years with the 5000 w/Mod, dumped that, and waited for the 811, bypassing the 6000 series for HD. I have been somewhat happy with the 811, despite the constant software upgrades which...

    811 problem with OTA

    I also am having a new problem with my 811 and NBC. I have been using an indoor amplified antennae and only getting sporadic results with reception, except NBC. It was the only station that came in well with it. I finally broke down and bought and installed an outdoor UHF antennae. All of our...

    New 811 UHF remote and batteries

    I've had the 811 for about 6 weeks now with mostly good success. My problem is the UHF remote. It has gone through 2 sets of fresh energizer batteries in that short of time. Anyone else burning up batteries?
