    How can Dish go up on their prices during someone's commitment?

    OK...I thought that if you were under ANY commitment , they would not raise the price. I guess they can make me pay anything they want me to! Makes me want to go to cable and use my Windows Media Center with basic cable and get Netflix as soon as the commitment is over. But , I DO love Auto hop.

    How can Dish go up on their prices during someone's commitment?

    I upgraded my equipment in Fall.of 2013. A few months ago I get a letter stating that they are going up on my bill. I called and was told that prices are only locked for the initial commitment; since my new commitment was for an equipment upgrade, I would have an increase. I then ask...

    I would love a la carte so I wouldn't have to pay for ESPN!

    What is the real multiple Hopper rule?

    I have gotten so many different answers to this question from Dish. I have an owned Hopper. I would like to have a second Hopper, not Joey. One says I can pay $95 and have a 2 year commitment to have a leased Hopper. He said that if I were to subscribe to the warranty, the install would...

    ABC HD in Charlottesville

    That channel is so weak that my friend in Orange county doesn't get it at all! 29 is full power....I didn't even know that 16 existed. Connect the 722 and read the signal strength for that channel...my guess is that a 10 dB amp at the antenna will fix.the issue.

    ABC HD in Charlottesville

    Which ABC? Lynchburg? Richmond? Harrisonburg? If it is channel 13...PM me and I will help..that channel gets FM interference bad. Do you still have the 722?

    OTA blocked (Media General Station)

    You guys just need to 1. Find out which frequency your channel broadcasts on. If it is UHF..get an UHF only antenna that will mount to a little post like the dishes do. You can double check on tvfool.com if you can get the channel at your location. You do need to point the antenna! The UHF is...

    Why can Dish not substitute channels with others from the same network during disputes?

    As far as the cable companies and the law..Time Warner said that they had to carry a station from far away. ..they had a disagreement with a NC station , so they out on a PA station. They said that it was legal becuase it was so far away. I remember, in the 80's , OTA channels were free to be...

    Why can Dish not substitute channels with others from the same network during disputes?

    My point is that Dish is sending data for stations for which it does NOT have any retrans agreement. For example, WGSR, a local news channel that is not carried by Dish, has guide data.

    Why can Dish not substitute channels with others from the same network during disputes?

    When Time Warner and Hearst had a little spat, summer 2012, they were able to put an NBC channel from Pennsylvania until they came to an agreement. Why couldn't Dish do the same when it has disputes? Also, why does Dish pull the guide data for the OTA as well? I get guide dara for...

    Media General Stations Removed from DISH, Agreement Reached

    If there is no guide data, then set up manual timers. I hope ESPN becomes a pay channel. My local NBC may go, but I have OTA with the antenna pointed to another DMA. My OTA locals look a hell of a lot better anyway!

    Is it possible to have 5 sats coming in DVR?

    How would I have 5 SATs on my Hopper? I have a single node. I assume it would be impossible being that there is only one input... not possible to run 3 lines directly.

    Is it possible to have 5 sats coming in DVR?

    The tech people at dish have told me several times that 5 sat is not possible. My only question about the DPP 44 setup with a dp 21 is will the increased power from the power supply pass through the dp21 without damaging the switch or being decreased? If you do not need the Spanish...

    DISH Reaches Long Term Agreement with DISNEY / ESPN / ABC

    I f that were the case, ESPN would be fine with being put on a higher tier. About 10 years ago, COX explained on the local news that they might have to lose ESPN because they demanded a certain price per customer, and they also had to carry ESPN on the tier above "bare basic." So, from my...

    DISH Reaches Long Term Agreement with DISNEY / ESPN / ABC

    I personally think that ESPN should be a PAY CHANNEL! Why should we all have to pay a lot for something some of us will never watch. I have watched ESPN once in 10 years.

    The best way to keep a weak signal using E* equipment

    I am on a fringe area, so my signal is weak. I want to keep as much signal as I can. I already have ordered RG11 to replace my RG6 because I have about 125 feet in the house and 50 to the dish. My questions are.... 1. Does a DP Single LNB supply the same amount of signal as a legacy or...

    Is 77 FSS/ how can 72 / 77/ 82 be so close together?

    I am watching Dish Latino on 77 right now.

    Is 77 FSS/ how can 72 / 77/ 82 be so close together?

    The Dish Latino channels are still on 77 so how could they phase out the 3 sat Eastern Arc dish? As far as the future of Dish Mexico, they could use 91as long as the signal doesn't go that far into the USA; 91 doesn't go very far outside of Canada.

    Is 77 FSS/ how can 72 / 77/ 82 be so close together?

    I always thought that 77 was FSS for the Eastern arc US dishes and DBS for Dish Mexico, but I noticed that those 2 satellites do not use the same transponder numbers, which leads me to believe that Eastern Arc 77 is not fss. Also, I was once told that DBS satellites had to be 9 degrees...

    ota tuner question

    So I just switched my 722k and 722 out for the Hopper. The CSR told me that the ota tuner would be at least a dual tuner...not true. So, is it possible to install more than one ota tuner? By the way..the Hopper is giving me a much better picture than the 722 or the 722k did. The locals...

    Help, I'm being repressed!(question for techs)

    What's with that statement? A lot of sub-contractors have to buy everything. As far as the wall-fishing. I started a thread about that a few months ago. Some say it's included, some say it's not. Everyone agreed that wall-fishing is not included in the retail install. If you search my...
