    $19.95 Stand-alone HD Package?

    $6 fees If you get the HD standalone package for $30, wouldn't you have to add the $6 lease fee and the $6 DVR fee if you get a 622? The DVR fee can be waived with a qualifying package and I guess the Lease fee is waived on the First leased receiver? So the HDPAK minimum would be $30 plus...

    HD Enabling fee - $6 starting Feb 1st - If you dont have qualifying HD programming

    I have had a 6000 since they became available, MY FIRST AND ONLY Dish receiver. When I bought it it did not have an OTA module. They said for $150 I could buy one. Between the Receiver $1250 and the OTA module I invested $1400. I later had to buy an QPSK or something like that because they were...

    622 Launching Feb. 1st - same price as 942

    I see on the Echostar Tech support site for the VIP 622 that being able to receive OTA signals now requires that you be SUBSCRIBED to Dish. In the past with my 6000 the only requirement was that you had to receive a Sat signal fror the OTA tuner to work. Does this make my 6000 a doorstop if I...

    Dish Network Sidegrade fee

    Dish just pulled one that I think is unconsciable. My Latest bill came and I saw that they intended to charge me another full year for the HD PAK. Having recently switched to Comcast and keeping the Dish HD PAK (only because of HDNET), I called and told them I wanted to return to monthly...

    First Look: Dish 942 HD/SD Receiver (Updated 1/24/05)

    Thay were all HD-Ready but if one has cable with HD capability a settop box can be had for $5 a month in some areas. Now if someone has to depend on OTA then an additional $4-700 outlay for a settop box can be steep. However the requirement that sets have HD tuners in the near future will...

    First Look: Dish 942 HD/SD Receiver (Updated 1/24/05)

    I think we are almost there. I was in Walmart the other day and they had at least 6 HDTV's. 3 Tube sets between 30 & 34 inches between $600 and $750. A 52" RCA RPTV for $1252. A 55 inch Pioneer RPTV for $1500. A 42" EDTV for $2495 and a 42 inch HDTV for $3495. Both Plasma. AND they were well...

    EchoStar Willing to Drop CBS in Dispute With Viacom

    I don't believe this fight is just over carrying the O&O Cbs stations. I believe it involves the carrying of all VIACOM subsidiaries as a package deal. I guess he can't pick & choose but has to take them all at a fixed price. So VIACOM threatens that you won't get CBS unless you take the whole...

    Guide says one thing, channel banner says another?

    Corrupted Dish guide I too have had ongoing problems with my E*6000 program guide. It would show PPV on regular channels, an entirely different program would be listed in place of another program or it would say that your smartcard is not authorized to receive this program. I have pulled out...
