    Goodbye Charlie... (OFFICIAL I am Leaving DISH Thread)

    Made the call today to cancel Dish. They were very accommodating. I expected some heavy handed tactics to try to get me to stay, but didn't get it. They invited me back at anytime and told me I'd be getting a bill for 54 cents...plus the shipping on the 2 receivers I have to send back. They...

    Goodbye Charlie... (OFFICIAL I am Leaving DISH Thread)

    Took the Dish receivers out of my rack yesterday. So far so good w/Comcast. Ends up their iPhone tools are pretty decent too, especially the new XfinityTV manager app. My only gripe is that the i-guide is ugly (albeit functional). PQ is definitely better, it was commented on by others in...

    Goodbye Charlie... (OFFICIAL I am Leaving DISH Thread)

    Comcast has caller ID on PC, caller ID push to their iPhone application, caller ID to the cable boxes (without a telephone wire), etc. Visual voice mail, yep. And a iphone application to remotely see incoming, outgoing and missed calls...and check/listen to VM. And you can set up call...

    Goodbye Charlie... (OFFICIAL I am Leaving DISH Thread)

    I've been doing A/B tests since I presently have both Dish and CC active on my setup right now. Both hooked up via HDMI outputting 1080i to my Panny 50" 850U. Dish is somewhat softer than Comcast on HD content, it's enough to make CC look like it has more POP. SD channels like Nick JR looks...

    Goodbye Charlie... (OFFICIAL I am Leaving DISH Thread)

    It has both + IEEE 1394. But, I don't think any of them are active.

    Goodbye Charlie... (OFFICIAL I am Leaving DISH Thread)

    This is more informational than anything. But I have my Comcast service in. The DCX-3400 is a nice, fast DVR with a lot of capacity. The Comcast i-guide is *lame* though as it's not in HD. It looks like the old Dish DVR guides before they went HD. But it is functional. Definitely a +1...

    Goodbye Charlie... (OFFICIAL I am Leaving DISH Thread)

    Yep, it's perfect for me, thanks. :-) 2 Tuners and 500GB is plenty, especially with OnDemand. I've found that a good 75% of what I record weekly is on it anyway so I'll probably not bother recording those shows and just watch them VOD. I don't keep anything either, I just watch and delete...

    Goodbye Charlie... (OFFICIAL I am Leaving DISH Thread)

    You must be thinking of the Motorola DCT-3216. That's the older DVR with 160GB HDD only capable of ~20 hours. The DCX-3400M is the MPEG-4 capable one that does multi room and has a 500GB HDD (more than my Dish 612), which can do as much as 60hours of MPEG2 HD.

    Goodbye Charlie... (OFFICIAL I am Leaving DISH Thread)

    Well, I'm officially leaving on 11/18 as of now. I have *4* Comcast boxes and my total cost for 'equipment'...$15 for one DVR...THAT'S IT. Dish I've only hooked up 2 of my 4 TV's...now I can have pay programming on all of them and am paying *less* in equipment fees for more. That alone made...

    Goodbye Charlie... (OFFICIAL I am Leaving DISH Thread)

    I'm not gone yet, but will probably be following suit soon. I've had Dish since Feb of 2000 and will probably be out in November when my current commitment ends. When I left Comcast for Dish in Y2k, Communist Cast as I always called them was terrible. Terrible PQ, terrible service and HIGH...

    Can you get the new HD from DISH?

    Looks like I will be getting a new dish for $0 this upcoming thursday. I sent a nice little gripe letter to the ceo@echostar.com address and they offered me a $0, no commitment dish upgrade as I would have expected. Yay Dish for doing the right thing for me. I do hate to say it, but I...

    TLC HD/Discovery HD issues since last night?

    Funny thing last night. the audio stuttering was happening on Little People, but it stopped during John and Kate +8...Just odd. I wish they'd fix it since I watch a lot of the DSC networks.

    TLC HD/Discovery HD issues since last night?

    ok, the 'blackout' issue seems to have corrected. well, it happened few times on Storm Chasers last night, but now I'm getting cruddy/stuttery audio on TLC HD...and only TLC HD... It'd be nice to know what's going on over at DSC networks lately.

    TLC HD/Discovery HD issues since last night?

    Anyone else seeing TLC HD and Discovery HD pic/sound freeze ups for about 10 - 15 seconds every few minutes. Only seems to be affecting TLC and DSC. I'm getting them on 61.5 and keep getting paranoid it's my new 612...

    Dish- A thank you our Loyal subs!

    They are doing this. I called yesterday to just ask if they had any free DVR offers right now before committing to purchasing a EHD for my 211's. I have a 612 (which is HONESTLY all I need) being installed tomorrow for no out of pocket costs (installation was free too) and I flipped to DVR...

    Trouble receiving 129 with a Dish 1000.2

    I was having serious 129 issues with a 1000.2 also. Ended up going back to a D500 with a D300 pointing at 61.5. Took care of everything. If you can't get a look at 61.5, what about a separate 24" or so dish pointing to 129 and a D500 for 110/119?

    Dish 500/300 combo or go EA

    I've had a Dish 1k for a number of years and about a month back I started having a lot of 129 issues (doesn't everybody). Well, DishStore ended up coming out and put up a 1k2 to try to fix the issue and that actually made the issue worse, i sometimes loose 129 on a bright sunny day now and my...

    Storms and OTA

    I found a way around this awhile ago during a storm that caused rain fade, works fine on 211's at least. Go into the menu, then the program guide, scroll to your OTA channels and voila.

    $10 for the Ultimate Package

    Seeing how quickly VOOM went away I almost wonder if Dish is going to drop the HD Essentials/Ultimate moniker and go back to a single $10 - $12 HD package.

    811 Upgrade Offer

    I heard back from one of the 'ceo@echostar' reps and they dropped the 18 month commitment they had saddled me with. So my deal was as follows. 1 - Free 211 (well, $1 monthly increase over the 811). 2 - Option to turn in 811 for a credit. 3 - NO commitment. I am Very, Very satisfied. This...

    811 Upgrade Offer

    Nope, only have 2 receivers in the household and I don't like sitting on equipment. I'd put it on the 'bay but it's not worth it.

    811 Upgrade Offer

    Just got off the phone and my 'special offer' was as follows. 1. Free 211 to replace my 811. 2. 18 month commitment (which I just wrote ceo@echostar.com about) I'll be glad to have all newer equipment as I never was happy w/the 811. Incidentally, they said they'd give me a $10 credit if I...

    811 P3.34, Scheduled for 1-10-06

    I got the upgrade on Tuesday as well. I really like the signal meter on the error page, that's very handy. Though, I have noticed the contrast suddenly seemes boosted over at least the Component outputs. Picture is really washed out where it wasn't on Monday when I was still on 3.33.
