    HD Package only

    I asked one of the CSRs at Dish about a week ago and they told me I could add the Multi Sports Package to the HD only package. This particular CSR may have been wrong about that but it makes me wonder why everyone is not on the same page.

    What channels are on 61.5 satellite?

    I tried to do a search of what is carried on this satellite but I could not find an answer. Does anyone have a link that would show what is on this satellite? Does Dish plan on keeping this satellite operational? 61.5 is the only one I can get due to the location of my apt. Thanks. Matt

    Unsuccessful Dish install today

    Thanks to everyone for your valuable input. The installer did make mention of DirectTVs satellites being higher in the sky just like you all said. Maybe that will be an option for me. If do try to get Dish to come out again will I be able to get all the SD and HD on a 61.5 dish? Will I need two...

    Unsuccessful Dish install today

    KAB, I had Voom back when they were around years ago and I believe that dish is pointed at 61.5. Would they have been able to get everything if the installer had put a dish in for 61.5? I still have my old Voom dish up because I have an OTA attached to it which I am using for locals. Thanks.

    Unsuccessful Dish install today

    Tyralak, I have been in this apt since 2002 and I do believe the tree has grown some. Back in 2004 Dish installed just a standard dish but they had it aimed just to the left of the tree so that the tree was not a factor. I was to have the HD dish put in today and the installer said it would...

    Unsuccessful Dish install today

    Dish Network came out today and was not able to get a strong enough signal to continue with the rest of the installation. He said there was a good size tree that was blocking the signal. I had Dish about 4 or 5 years ago and was able to get service but I guess things have changed with their...

    Dish BronzeHD package question

    I am currently with Comcast cable and have been for almost a year now. I was with Voom and Dish Network before that. That makes me a former customer so the 18mo commitment is mandatory according to everyone I have talked to whether it be Dish or the reseller ads I have gotten. I have heard of...

    Dish BronzeHD package question

    Thanks bhelms for that information. I just can't do a 18mo commitment but I really do not want to purchase the equipment. I called Dish and they said because I am a former customer, the 18mo. deal is required. This is how they treat former customers and it really stinks.:mad: I may just stick...

    Dish BronzeHD package question

    I called Dish and was quoted $56.00 for the BronzeHD package with no locals and the 211 receiver. I am a former Voom subscriber and Dish customer prior to that. Is this the best deal I can get for this package? What about these adds I get in the mail offering lower prices? Dish also told me that...

    OTA antenna and Dish 301 receiver

    Can I still use my old Winegard antenna that I got with Voom when I hook my old Dish 301 receiver back up. I was using a diplexer with the Voom receiver but I don't know if the 301 can be used like that. I really do want to run two separate cable from the dish but I thought I might save some...

    Previous Dish customer question

    Thanks Fred for the advice. You are right. I looked at the old Dish and and the skew and elevation are already set. I would just need to take down my Voom dish and put the old one back up. I just hope I can find the signal. The Dish menu said the azimuth is 204. Thanks again. Matt

    Previous Dish customer question

    Thanks for the help and various input. After looking at my old Dish satellite and reading the installation manual, I think I will try and reinstall it myself. It is worth a shot anyway and I may be able to do it. So far I have found someone who will install it for $80.00 but I may still look...

    Previous Dish customer question

    I have Voom right now but I was with Dish Network previously. I want to come back to Dish but Dish Network said I would have to do a 2 year agreement with them in order to get free installation. If don't want to do the 2yr agreement then I have to pay a reactivation fee plus reinstall my old...

    811 waiting list

    Has anyone gotten a call or a postcard lately regarding their status on the 811 receiver. I have been on the list since January 25th but I have heard nothing. Whenever I call Dish they tell me I am still on the waiting list and that it should not be too much longer. Thanks for any information.

    Dish 34" HDTV bug thread

    Please, let us hear from some more people who have the 34" HD tv from Dish. I know Dish has a 30 day return policy on the HD in a box deal but wonder what the shipping cost would be to return it. Thanks.

    HDTV in a Box - Installation Diary

    What is a "DHP customer?" It sounds like you are having quite a time getting the install done. I am thinking about getting the same deal but I am unsure of the quality of the RCA sets.
