    If I purchase a 622 on eBay...

    The two yr. hook is a rip off. They should send you one without the agreement. I would go on line and check with csr on-line.

    DISH 811 no purple cards

    Wow, I was fine with the 811 as a SD receiver, but DISH shut it down, when I called, they said it needed to be swapped with a 211. So, I complied.

    I am tired of waiting... I have a "moving" question

    FYI Great post, but I have had them send equipt. to my mailing address vs. the service or "moved" to address with no problem. One time the screwed up and sent it to the "move" address, but UPS called me and I got them to send it.

    Which 2 premiums to get.

    HBO seems to be the best. Good sports like boxing. Starz has lots of HD also. As previously said, get them for 3 months free and decide for yourself, its a matter of opinion.

    Insane Dish Hardware Upgrade via Phone Conversation?

    They tried that with me and my cell phone also. I got so upset, I told them if they did this again, I would drop DISH, and send the reason to ceo. No more calls. The audit team is unconected to any responsible management, or they would be disbanded.

    Did I just lose The Science Channel?

    You probably have the 200 pack vs 250, that's what happened when I switched to 200 to save money.

    3 Free Months HBO/ Starz

    For those that have had problems with calls to csr(s) Try doing it on line via csr real time chat or your program selection options. Its much easier.

    Dish lied to me!

    copy the original post in email to ceo, that's the easiest way to get past the csr police.

    Is is possible to have 2 sets of locals

    Occasionally, but rarely, the csr will forget to delete access to the locals in the old address, but don't count on it.

    Can change programming online now

    You should be able to do it through csr on line chat, as long as you meet the requirements, set up to auto pay your bill first.

    Cancelled Platinum HD

    me also, I agree its not worth $10, when for that money you can get a premium channel package.

    ENCORE MOVIE PACK

    They also show theme shows, mystery, westerns like maverick. Commercial free is the key. and they come with the 250 package, I think.

    Dropping PlatHD for premium channel

    I was wondering what the Platnum HD includes. I have Plat and Silver, so I know I need to drop something. What comes with PlatHD?

    "Moving" question from a newbie

    Since you are not really moving, just "moving". You already have the equipment installed. As Iceberg says, SF locals are on the National Beam (CONUS) right now so you don't need to worry about Spotbeams at this point. Also, you can do this online-csr, vs phone call (its easier and less tense)...

    Richmond VA. HD Locals

    I'm showing Richmond HD locals on 61.5, when did it change to 129? I show spot beam area 5 for these stations. You should be close enough to pick them up.

    "Moving" - Ceil 2 question

    Richmond should work, and its closer.

    "Moving" - Ceil 2 question

    BSKOFF, Try DC locals, the spot beam should reach you. If not, try Norfolk.

    Used 811 + $9.99 Welcome Pack = Possible?

    I'm confused, I had an 811, and it would no recieve sat. signal about a month ago. I called DISH and they said, it was obsolete, so they exchanged it for a 211. Are you sure an 811 will work at all these days.

    "Moving"...for a week?

    Tell him to do it. Suggest he do it on line, to avoid getting a CSR thats not too bright. I've done several times, no problem.

    Can I 'move' to get network channels?

    You can move to Chicago, NY, or Atlanta amoung others that are CONUS beams for the time being, anyway. Pick an address, add an appartment number, call or do it on line. They don't care at DISH. Call it your service address, keep your mailing address as is. You can also swithch to paperless...

    Question about the Price Increase

    sending email to ceo as pugmom did is the way to go. They gave me and many others a square deal to correct faulty decisions of csr's and techies.

    This might be it

    Do it online, go to programing, its easy.

    Where can I move to to get National Locals - not Spotbeamed - on 110 or 129

    People move all the time, Dish does not care. Just go on line to your dish account, do the CSR chat, and your done. Try LA or NY address with appartment number.

    Does E* allow adding programming online

    I had no problems changing programing on line, and it was quick. I don't have the cinemax one cent deal.
