I chatted with support - told them we were going to cancel service, so they transferred to the Loyalty Dept. Best deal we could get was really nothing - the "standard" $10 credit for 12 mos., Free HD for Life, free Platimum & STARZ (for 12 mos.). We changed to AT 120+, addition of FSN is...

Just checked my channels- still on HD Absolute as far as I can tell, and MAX (1 penny deal which has continued). However I now see $6 extra for locals according to the Dish web site. No STARZ either. DISHHD ABSOLUTE $29.99 DVR Service $6.00 Locals $6.00 - ADDED 2/1

I have a 622..from the android app I can see seemingly do everything minus of course watching anything via sling. I thought it would only work on a 722 so I'm happy with what I can do on my receiver

Interesting I wonder what the formula is for the absolute price reductions. I'm still at $34.99 w/locals, plus $6 DVR fee. About a year ago I called to find out if I could get out of the DVR fee, but they wouldn't budge. I have a 622.

Tonight was the night to recalibrate the dish. I tried adjusting skew, which yielded just a bit of iimprovement (from 0 on 129 to 5 or so), so then went back to adjusting elevation to tweak..and wound up with the following: 129 TP 17 Anywhere from 18-25 (was 25 when I was calibrating, now...

Yeah that's what I was afraid of... doing Check Switch with no signal on 129 and screwing myself over. I did check the mast for plumb when I first installed, will check again..

Hello everyone, happy 09. I've had a 1000+ for quite some time with no major problems on 129..signal strength usually 15-20, not stellar but not bad. For the past few months it's been dropping very low, to the point where signal is lost. In addition, I noticed 119 dropped to the 60s where...

Had one 622 since just a month or so after it came out, no problems at all.

I've noticed this as well on my 622. Many recorded OTA shows (like Family Guy), audio drops just for a fraction of a second but like every 2-5 seconds, I think when it appears to be working it is just because there isn't any sound and that's when it "drops". It is very annoying. I'm not sure...

Alright so we can all now stop the bitchin' about no BSG! I can't believe it...was shocked when I saw it, BSG is now recording at 10PM!

Sure, for those who did NOT opt for the new Dish HD-only package! I have to settle for BSG in traditional analog cable that comes along with my cable modem package. Oh the agony! :D

Scott I very much appreciate what you do to run this site, I've been around since nearly the beginning but not terribly active - I'm just a Dish network end-user, but have been interested in this satellite industry for quite some time. It helps when you do have installers over to more than...

I second that, exactly the same switch and was told (after I asked) that there is no further commitment.

Completely agree!! Charlie epitomizes the American Dream. :hatsoff:

I just switched, lowering my bill by like $30. I'm not getting DTV, just lower price for the channels I watch anyway (all HD). I did this through the chat, initially they ADDED HD, so my bill went UP somehow $29.99...then I said no drop HD Ultimate and I ONLY want the Dish HD pack for...

Yes- exactly - use the saved $10 to upgrade your base package up a notch, perhaps..but I might stick with AT200 + $10 Essentials, because I really don't watch the other channels in the "Ultimate" family anymore. What tier they put SciFI HD, if that eve comes, could sway my decision, but I would...

Same with me, I have two receivers that I sold long, long ago showing up on my account, but they are flagged as "inactive". Don't know why or if it makes a difference (does not seem to in any way)

Mine wasn't there after 40 min, turned it off and came back 2 hrs later and it was there...so somewhere bet 40 m - 2 hrs

Thanks for informing the masses..I just did a live chat with Dish and they added Cinemax for .01, auto-renew after one year for another penny! What a deal.

This is correct, confirmed with one of the ceo@dishnetwork support folks, no commitment to switch to DVR Adv.

From DVR Advantage Terms & Conditions (Not DIU) from the Dish Network site, retrieved 12/3...it seems to specifically state that for one receiver on the account the rental/lease fee and DVR fee is covered. I couldn't see any language that said "unless you took advantage of Dish-n-it-Up"...

According to the person @ ceo@dishnetwork.com - true UNLESS you took advantage of DIU for the 622 and agreed to a $6 leave fee at that time..the boat I'm in.. DVR Advantage covers the DVR fee & programming, but not the lease fee. If a new customer, lease fee for primary receiver & DVR fee are...

Thanks...turns out they are saying they won't budge on this, that is the plan in place.. I have been thinking of dropping Dish anyway in favor of simply OTA HDTV, which is what I watch anyway..along with either a Media Center PC or HD Tivo or something. Not that this is the straw to break the...

Thanks for your information..I received a reply from the person at ceo@dishnetwork who said that a mistake was made - since I used DishItUp I would have the lease fee forever. I'm going to email back to see if they would consider dropping this.

I just found my original email from ceo@dishnetwork.com, who helped me switch to DVR Advantage in the first place - that person confirmed that I would NOT be charged a lease fee for the receiver. So I'm just emailing them again to correct this.
