    Any value in the 508 receiver ?

    I've got 3 508's with outdated smart cards. Have not had them active for +/- 5 years. I've looked at ebay and there is a fair number for sale. I see that the 508's are being replaced by Dish. Wondering if I might just be better off junking them. Any suggestions ? Thanks !

    Is this an official representative calling from Dish Network?

    The fact that E* shares personal customer information with these third party hacks speaks volumes on just how far this company had slid in a slimy underhanded way to prop up their bottom line. If Dish wants to upgrade my programming or equipment, then call me directly. Oh I forgot, all their...

    Just a friendly warning about DishStore.net/Metro25's rebate scam

    Yes, but do they tell the customer the shipping and handling charge is $16 ? That seems a very steep price for someone to send out a rebate check.

    Is Dish even trying to retain its customers?

    Actaully it does basically boil down to economics. All of the providers pretty much offer all the same programming. Unless one is a real sports fanatic then you'll stay with Direct but otherwise it's all the same game albeit at different pricing levels. Cable and Satellite with their non-stop...

    Is Dish even trying to retain its customers?

    Well the OP gave a very rational and well thought out reasons why he left Dish. I also agree that the the business model has changed and we as consumers need to accept the changes. What that means is that we'll all have two sets of dishes on the roof - one for Direct and one for Dish as well...

    Any News on MLB Channel on Dish?

    When one really compares DISH charges with the competition such as D* or cable offerings, is Dish's bills really lower ? When the competition has MLB or Sunday Ticket and/or other offerings Dish refuses to provide ? When those price comparisons are made, I doubt E* costs less and in fact may...

    "Dish Quality" team

    If it were me, I'd want some compensation from DISH for the inconvienance of having some stranger tromping through the house. If DISH want's to make sure things are done right, then they can ride shotgun in the installers truck.

    Contract up, big price increase

    I just hope that all those of you that jumped on the OP, were not participating in any of the 100 + threads complaining about the new equipment pricing fees. To the OP, I would call Direct and your local cable provider and see what they can do for you. I did just that four years ago and...

    Im unplugging my phone lines on 2/1

    Two comments; first, unplugging the reciever will have very little impact (if any at all) on sending a message. What will send a clear message is if subscribers remove receivers from their accounts or downgrade programming. That is an immediate impact to E*'s bottom line. Having failed that...

    Rumor Alert - Dish to offer all locals!

    Read the article. Seems to me that there is still a long ways to go here before Charlie can make any credible claims about providing all 210 DMA's. This is just a House Committee vote to let the entire House vote on this and then the Senate has to have it's say.

    Rumor Alert - Dish to offer all locals!

    I'll believe it when I see it. Just one of a thousand promises Dish has made over the past 15 years. Hell, they can't even meet a 6 month committment on a reciever roll out or bringing a new provider on line or anything else you can think of. To sit there now and tell us that in TWO years...

    Networks via All-American

    Can anyone that has their Distant net's provided by All-American tell me if the picture quality has improved. Two years ago it was bad - real bad. Wonder now if they have gotten their act together.

    Leaving "E"

    One would think that the pom-pom cheerleaders would at least by now start to get a little tired. The Energizer bunny has nothing on some of these guys !

    Getting ready to get rid of Dish

    I admit that I'm a pessimist when it come to Dish. My feeling is that you subscribers can expect every little additions or improvements to the service over the next year. Charlie is in sell mode and he ain't about to put any money into a company he wants out of. This year is going to be all...

    Any Way to Get "Big 3" Broadcast Networks, But Not "Local"?

    The original poster said he was considering putting up an OTA to get the NYC affliates. Funny thing is that is basically what NPS did to deliver the Atlanta and San Fran. feeds and the picture quality was just terrible. As a long term distant network LEGAL subscriber, the final nail in Dish's...

    Dish lied to me need help.

    I think the point is why should a customer have to chase down this thing over and over again with one clueless and could-care less CSR after another. Or then have to email the CEo's office. Dish has shown by their actions that they don't want nor cherish his business. So piss on 'em. Pay the...

    Dish Network News

    I dropped E* last year and went back to cable(TWC). The HD lineup is absolute crap consisting of just Discovery HD, TNTHD, HBO & Showtime HD(must have base HBO and Showtime to get this), HDNet, YesHD, MetsHD(called something else ?) and some music video channel HD. ABC, NBC, PBS, FOX HD is...

    Locals Out

    I am served by the Binghamton, New York area which is 70 miles north of Scranton. Neither Dish or Direct offer our locals and for good reason I suppose. If this disaster had occurred in this area it would of been Thursday or Friday before anyone would of even noticed(or cared). :rolleyes:

    What is going on????

    Not good. And it doesn't sound like any of it's going to be a quick and easy fix.

    Fox Business Network

    We have it with our TWC and in my opinion, has very good business coverage.
