So, you guys helped me through the signing up process......this turned out to be a small nightmare...........they lost my original order, cancelled my install appointment, had to come out twice because they brought the wrong equipment. So I got over that.....
Its been 2 weeks and D* called me to "welcome me" and go over my bill. Well all the "deals" I got when I signed up.............GONE.
No free Hotpass
No free magazine
No "no" charge for extra receivers
So now my bill that was supposed to be $79 for 12 months for Premiere/HD with 3DVRs is not $100 a month and then almost $130 thereafter.
THey say I only had 3 days to cancel and that time is over.....now I have to pay a $283 cancellation fee plus the $450 in equipment I paid is non-refundable.
So I'm screwed no matter how you look at it. I am so bleepin mad I can't even see straight. Like I told them.........love the programming, blah blah blah...........but I will never recommend them to anyone, and Day One after my 24 month commitment.........back to DISH I go. I took 6 months to make this decision and I wish I had never done it.
Every time you talk to someone they give you a different answer so there is no consistency in anything they do........30 day cancellation.......3 day.......7 day.......its ridiculous.
I wish I had never changed.........what sucks, is that I really like the equipment and programming.........but I certainly don't like getting screwed over
Totally disappointed Rachel

Not trying to flame here, but come on: "all the new channels..."??? How many? 5-10 channels? Versus being all set up and ready for 50-75 in 7 weeks? Hmmm...let me see...which is better? 10 or 50?
But seriously, there will always be people who get caught in the crosshairs of bad management or sales. You could easily replace E* everywhere she mentioned D*. While most people I'm sure are perfectly happy with the service and install and customer service, we really only hear about the nightmares. How often do you see someone take the time to write in when they are satisfied or exceedingly pleased? No nearly as often as those who wish to bitch a little or vent.
Rachel - One or two calls and you can this all cleared up. Notes are taken with every phone call and a Retention CSR can track the progress of your signup and install and see what was offered. But I can't imagine anyone can enforce a 3 day cancelation policy. That is a ridiculously short period of time for any product.
Good luck...

E* has 32 HD right now. not including RSN's or locals.I think were are getting 6 more .So its not just 5 or 10.Not trying to flame here, but come on: "all the new channels..."???

Wow!! This thread is starting to sound like a "my dad can beat up your dad" thread.. Personally.. When all the new channels go active, I will have the best HD Services available, cause I have both E* and D* in my house. My guess is one or the other is going to have more.. Who knows which one.. But either way..
I AM READY......

Going out on a limb there, Nostradamus!
I just took the plunge this morning and signed up for Directv, in addition to Dish. My house will look like a Weather station with all of the dishes, but I will have the BTN! So I am ready too!

LOL. It depends if the person saw it during the years when they were actually still available which is 1968 to 1983 meaning the person could be 43-58 years old or they can even be a few years old if they learned to read and write at a young age and actually saw a telephone with that label somewhere recently just like even here in San Francisco, payphone still exist physically in public places but whether they can be used or not is a different issue. It still looks like this even today:
I opened my Radio Shack in Sept 1984 and right about that time they did the whole deregulation thing with the phone companies. I bought TONS of those phones that had been refurbished with a new outer shell. You could throw one of those out of a 3 story high window and it would still work.
That was an interesting time in history. I would have older customers come in and ask about phones.....they were terrified that they were going to get into trouble hooking up a second phone without the phone company knowing about it. One of the funniest episodes of WKRP was the one where Johnny thought the cops were showing up because they had an unregistered phone. I guess younger folks can't conceive of a time when you were limited to the number of phones you could have in your house....and limited to the length of the cord

My OTA is not working anymore. This started after the latest update. I have the OTA dongle with a OTA antenna that I've been using for years. My hopper does not recognize the dongle anymore and when I go to the OTA setting, it has a screen that says to plug a dongle into the USB. I tried unplugging and plugging back, in the same usb port and other ports. The Hopper does not recognize it. Anyone have same issue?

Did you people having this issue contact Brittany yet? Shes trying to keep track of things and it would be good for you to contact her as maybe she can get this somewhere and get fixed.
Now while unofficial, I am hearing this issue wasn't caused by DISH's software team, but was caused by a chipset driver update that seemes to have hosed some older USB devices. If this is indeed the case I can see why DISH didn't know and why they are slow in fixing it as they need the chipset company to fix its drivers and release them to DISH so they can be pushed out to all.
DISH does not hate you guys nor do they want you to buy new USB dongles. I am rather sure they didn't even know this was an issue until they saw it posted.
Again contact Brittany if you are having this issue, so she has your info and hopefully she can do something for you to keep you happy.

Thanks, but until they do, can't Dish just revert to the old driver that worked? Then test the new driver when delivered,d before pushing it again.Did you people having this issue contact Brittany yet?

But then what does an old CIO know! I've only reamed quite a few buttholes from my people that didn't do that!

dish can't revert back to older drivers or updates. although just one reason not to buy the ota dongle!!!Thanks, but until they do, can't Dish just revert to the old driver that worked? Then test the new driver when delivered,d before pushing it again.

It's dead, they just don't know it yet. They killed it by forcing DRM on it, and that TOTALLY botched implementing it.
There is absolutely NO compelling reason for anybody to switch to ATSC3.0. They only want it as a total and complete money grab.
