    KBS World Channel 1993 Problem

    When I signed up for DirecTV I had all kinds of problems getting someone to install the international dish. It was like it had never been done before. No apologies from DTV when I finally got someone from management to make arrangements. BTW Arirang TV, the only decent Korean channel Dish has...

    KBS World Channel 1993 Problem

    Interesting because Dish Network included KBS with all Tiers except the poorly advertised super basic tier (which may now be unavailable). The info that it was in the Ultimate and above tier came from a post in the DirecTV forum but not from an employee. So it was not exactly from an...

    KBS World Channel 1993 Problem

    Have you actually recently tried to view KBS on Dish Network? I note that DirecTV has already updated their site regarding KBS being added to their Korean programming package. I read in another forum that it's also available to everyone with at least the Ultimate Pkg. See...

    KBS World Channel 1993 Problem

    Dish already has the Korean Tiger Pack: ARIRANG TV), BTN (Buddist), GOLF CHANNEL (GOLF), JSTV (Christian), ONE WORLD SPORTS (ASIAN SPORTS, not just Korean). Other than Arirang, that's a pretty crummy line-up compared to DirecTV; especially now that they have added KBS. Already Koreans that...

    KBS World Channel 1993 Problem

    Are you certain about that? KBS was a PI channel and is still available OTA free in a few DMAs such as LA and Frisco.

    Charged for VOD that I didn't order

    That attitude is typical of Dish Network and probably a part of their Corporate culture. When I had a bogus charge for a VOD that was PIN protected and the PIN was only known to me and not written down, they insisted it was either ordered by me or someone in the house that knew the PIN. They act...

    Charged for VOD that I didn't order

    When I had Dish a few months they wanted $5.00 to do that so I fired them and got DirecTV. I set the PPV/VOD limit to $0 via the remote controls- -far easier then having to deal with a Dish CSR.

    Charged for VOD that I didn't order

    Same thing happened to me. I am the only one who knew the code and they gave me the same standard reply about someone else knowing the code. When I told them to send a signal to the receiver preventing anyone from ordering PPV or VOD in the future they wanted $5.00! That was the final straw and...

    10$ OFF FOR 12 MONTHS + 3 FREE PPV

    That is ONE of the reasons I quit Dish after 10+ years. I kept getting the short end of the stick.

    Charged for VOD that I didn't order

    I Quit I just quit DN after 10 years. That was not my immediate initial intent but after getting too much run around from CSRs and Loyalty I quit. :D Dropped calls too. Just too much Bovine Scatology (BS). The last straw was when I got charged for a VOD I did not order (apparently a common DN...

    Charged for VOD that I didn't order

    I asked to have VOD/PPV blocked after a bogus VOD billing, and they wanted $5.00 to perform the block. I am going to DTV soon unless they offer me the AEP free for a year! :rolleyes:

    CONFIRMED(?)- Dish Discontinuing Absolute HD Package

    Dish Network wonders if it’s too cheap You guys may want to review this thread I posted back in early March. My final comment was BOHICA (Bend Over Here It Comes Again) http://www.satelliteguys.us/dish-network-forum/204863-ergen-we-really-gave-too-good.html The link to the newspaper...

    Incorrect Puchase History

    I just verified that my VOD chan 1 are PIN protected. I would have had to put in the PIN to order that VOD movie. That is something that cannot happen by accident. Anyway, according to another thread, it took one fellow 40 mins to get his bogus VOD charge removed and his receiver did not even...

    Incorrect Puchase History

    That is why I am disputing the charge. It's just me and the wife and she does not know the PIN, is not interested in nor knows how to order PPV, does not operate the 722K, and like me, does not care for that genre of movie. I have ordered PPV twice and had to go through the PIN drill. I never...

    Might have to go DTV. Will I incur penalty

    For the record, the CSR says I am NOT locked into a contract. :) Now I got a bogus VOD charge to deal with. DTV is looking better and better.

    If VOD is pin protected like PPV movies, something I am unsure of, then it is impossible that I purchased it.

    Charged for VOD that I didn't order

    Purchase History Incorrect I just checked my purchase history and they show I ordered VOD on 7/29 Hot Tub Time Mac $6.99. I never ordered or saw this movie and don't care for this type of genre anyway. I assume that VOD is PIN protected just like the PPV movies, correct? I asked the CSR in...

    Incorrect Puchase History

    I went to DN chat. CSR cannot see the charge because the current billing cycle has not been generated. Said she would put a note on my account about the charge. I have been thinking of going to DTV and if this charge shows up its adios DN after more than 10 years!

    Incorrect Puchase History

    For the heck of it, I checked my Purchase History and it indicated that I had purchased a $6.99 VOD movie Hot Tub Time Mac(chine) on 7/29 at about 6:51 PM. I almost never purchase PPV and certainly would have remembered purchasing this or any other movie. I do have a PIN and the my spouse...

    Might have to go DTV. Will I incur penalty

    Sounds like good advice. :up Dish does not have acceptable Korean programming; DTV does. When mama ain't happy, nobody is happy! I'll be going to DTV if there is no Dish subscription commitment. The contract I posted and signed does not indicate there is one but I'll take your advice and deal...

    Chat appears to be down (unavailable). My past experiences with most CSRs has not been particularly good. I'll give it a shot later.

    Might have to go DTV. Will I incur penalty

    What contract are you talking about? I have never signed a contract with a minimum service commitment. I always owned all my equipment and did all my previous installations. I was hoping that a DNS installer who has done many of the HD upgrades could provide a definitive answer.
