    Old Equipment, No Contract, What to do ?

    It wasn't unreasonable. After the first few go-arounds with customer service and being told I would spend $$ more and $$ more per month for receiver fees ---I had already looked into other options that were far cheaper and more convenient for me. By the time the $50/month credit was made, it...

    Old Equipment, No Contract, What to do ?

    I called to cancel. They offered $50/month discount for 12 months and said the credits would more than cover the cost of the new equipment i need and would pay the monthly bill increases. I cancelled and moved to youtube TV. Has gone well so far, and it's far cheaper.

    Old Equipment, No Contract, What to do ?

    Dish wants $149 for the wally (up-front) for my shop, $10 for each joey up-front, and I was told my monthly "device fees" would increase from $22 to $36 monthly. I'm not going to upgrade anything.

    Old Equipment, No Contract, What to do ?

    will reach out to Dish to see what they have to say/offer. as for own/lease - made the choice for personal reasons. Mostly with the VIP211 because i used to use this extensively: Nextcom R5000-HD - Wikipedia It required me to open/tweak hardware and i didn't want to do that with leased...

    Old Equipment, No Contract, What to do ?

    Long time dish customer, fleet of old VIP receivers (722, 622, and multiple 211). Wiring for dish at the house is a bit complicated: 1000.2 EA -> DPP44#1 DPP44#1 -> 2x receivers DPP44#1 -> DPP44#2 DPP44#2 -> 2x receivers Receiver at shop building (same property) 1000.2 WA -> VIP211 The...

    potential dish scam call - "upgraded orbital location, need upgrade receivers"

    just got a call from 800-333-3474. Gentleman on phone asked if i was using dish satellite for tv service and said that a location of a satellite orbital was changed and that i would lose channels in 3 to 4 days if i did not work with him to upgrade my receiver. I told him i would call...

    Buying a Dish Joey From a Seller on Ebay

    I've never had dish do that or offer to do it. Several times, I've done online chat to verify serial numbers are clean/clear, and then the box shows up and it "has a balance" or is "active on another account." I've argued with CSR reps and provided copies of all saved chat transcripts to get...

    Mi Box as an alternative to a Joey? Maybe.

    i use dish anywhere with amazon firetv. it works fine for live and recorded content. i use a somewhat older version of the APK from apkmirror.com I'm using in on a vip722k with sling. No hopper here.

    New Hopper - Sling Sessions? Sub Accounts for Dish Anywhere?

    Since the new hopper has a boatload of tuners, does it allow for multiple outgoing sling sessions or is sling still tied to just a single tuner like it is in the vip722? (I'm a current VIP722 user, no hopper yet but maybe soon) Any plans to allow dish users to create "sub-accounts" underneath...

    hey guys check this out we got 4 more siriusxm music channels

    I have always thought Dish XM sounds better than XM in my vehicles. My wife's car has an actual SIRUIS radio and it sounds like garbage. Siruis radios were shipped with a codec that can't be updated over the air (XM radios can..) so the quality is doomed to be awful...forever...on the older...

    No UFC 186 on Dish!

    i have firetv's everywhere. Maybe i can buy UFC through that or get the ufc app sideloaded.

    No UFC 186 on Dish!

    this is total crap. I've been buying UFC on Dish for the past 4+ years (yes, every one of them) I'm a fan, it's one of the very few things I spend money on for only myself that I enjoy. I have lots of friends over to watch and we have a great time. My house is setup with multiple screens and...

    Dish 500 with VIP-211K receiver ?

    you could slightly modify the D500 to get 110/119/129 with an additional LNB, a chunk of wood, and some zipties (along with a DP34 or DP44 switch). I'm not recommending it long term, but it can be made to work just fine.

    38 switch checks, then aquiring signal (5 bars)?

    switch to newer lnb's. I had a situation once where I kept getting the 38 checks with a dish1000.2. Ended up being a slice in one of the coax cables up on the roof. Once i replaced it, it went to 4 checks (normal for 1000.2).

    No Internet but have wifi home network. Dish Anywhere?

    I bet a wooden nickel it wont work. with a real slingbox it would...but the dish sling adapter has to negotiate with the dish backend to list available receivers and such. When my internet service is down, sling adapters other than REAL slingboxes do not work at all.

    multiple dish's on same property?

    Just have a 2nd dish put up...or you can do it yourself. Its easy :) I have a dish on my shop building and i keep a 211 receiver out there for when im working on equipment. Never had an audit issue and i for darn sure wouldnt pay for a 2nd account. Some of this 'account stacking' talk is...

    Sling on home network

    I have a Dish 722K with a sling adapter. Data hairpins through the internet when I use the dish anywhere app on my phone, connected to wifi only. My dish receiver and my wifi access points are on different vlans, but they are on the same network.

    Dish needs to do this

    Not to go down a rathole here -- but that's pretty trivial to work around :) This would be a -killer- app for dish. I'd love it for sure! Just make sure I can play along too (no hopper here).
