    Official - I have a Hopper 3 Thread!

    Ordered through DIRT, was painless and done in only 2 private messages. Was the first Hopper 3 install for the installer, he arrived saying he'd been warned by coworkers that these take a long time to get fully installed and we'd be waiting around for the receivers for a few hours. (which...

    DISH 2016 CES Press Event

    I hope this turns out to be true. Watching the Live stream they said is it would be a zero cost upgrade for qualified new accounts. The word "new" which Scott didn't type makes me wonder if existing customers can upgrade for free. Past history would make me think that Dish will not let...

    Hopper Thoughts - I'm Looking For a Reason To Leap or Stay

    Post Your Bill

    My Bill went down by 2 cents, but only because of $11 in loyalty credits. Come August it will go up $10.98. It is tempting to be annoyed, but I still would not find a better deal anywhere for HD service and 2 great HD DVR's...

    What features from Tivo would you like added to your E* box?

    I'd like multiple boxes to cooperate better. 1) I want to be able to watch shows from any DVR in the house on any other over the house network. (Homeplug should work for this.) 2) When a timer conflict occurs, I want the DVR to ask another DVR in the house to record the about-to-be-skipped...

    Cinemax for 1 year for .01 w/ autopay/paperless billing

    I signed up on 12/18 for this. I've received 2 bills since. Neither bill has it listed at all in the detailed charges section. My bill (including the one for February) has not changed by even a penny. I am on DVR advantage so I did not expect any price increase. I have yet to be charged the...

    Cinemax for 1 year for .01 w/ autopay/paperless billing

    I have DVR advantage+HD. I was already on both auto-pay and paperless billing. I called the 800-333-dish number. The CSR was aware of the program and when looking up my account said since I had both I would get it for .01 per year for 2 years. The entire call was under 2 minutes... I'm happy.

    Dishonline Over?

    It was slow, but not as slow as some are describing it to be. I will cut them some slack because it was listed as a "known issue" in the introduction email... I was impressed with the variety of options that were either implemented or planned. I agree it was almost useless to me though...

    Vip 222 and 722 available when?

    According to Scott's post here it is a little bit more. It's a 622 that with a bigger HDD, That has an updated decoder capable of Microsoft VC1 support for HD-VOD, and it is Black instead of Silver. I'm not sure if anything has changed since this was posted...

    computer generated phone call

    I received this type of call about 2 weeks ago. The call I received it was technically voluntary, but heavily biased toward making you accept because if you hung up on the call, you were enrolled in paperless billing. After the initial description of the benefits of paperless billing, it said...

    DishStore.net rocks. On my recent PocketDish av500e order Claude personally went way above and beyond to help me out. I messed up, but Claude quickly and politely fixed the issue.

    Sacramento OTA Guide Info

    I live in Rocklin and the local installers said they could get 129 with a dish1000 fine, but it would be weak and have pretty bad rain fade. They strongly recommended a separate Dish500 for 129 instead. They gave me my choice. I chose the Second dish. With the Dish500 I'm getting signal...

    Wiring for 622?

    So far the 622 has been problem free for me. My favorite surprise was how "fast" the 30-second skip and 10-second skip back are. Compared to the other DishDRV models these commands are very noticeably faster...they seem instantaneous. I'm combining the 721 out and the 622 out and sending...

    Wiring for 622?

    Well the install happened today. Things went pretty much as expected with a few exceptions. Two techs arrived and looked at the situation. The 1st tech said easy install put in a DP44 switch and use all existing wiring. 2nd tech said "remember were not supposed to use the DP44's." 1St Tech...

    Wiring for 622?

    So, after some more looking around it does seem that the Dish1000 cannot handle the 3 receivers without a switch. Will the Installer need to use a DP44 switch or will they try to use some other switch? What other switch configuration would they likely try handle the 3 receivers (508,721, and...

    Wiring for 622?

    Last week I called DISH for the 622 lease. I am scheduled for an install on the 5th. I expected it to be delayed at least once. But, to my surprise the 622 actually arrived today. So now I would like to know if I'll need more cable runs. If I do I'll run them through the walls this weekend...

    Lifetime Ala Carte?

    This is the headline from the ad Lifetime is running today: I don't know how many women will cancel because of this ad, but I bet DISH picks up some male customers because of this...I can hear it now, "Wow, DISH has 46 sports channels and 7 pornography channels! I better get DISH.":D

    5 cents to 9 cents ????

    The whole premise of this thread/post is false. Dish nor Lifetime ever said that 4 cents was the 76% increase... 4 Cents was only the first of several increases over a 3 year contract. DISH claim total increase of 76% over the 3 year contract. LifeTime claims 4 cents + several other...
