ORIGINAL POST:
Ok, here it goes, here is the problem:
Approximately a month ago I wanted to sign up for Dish Network. I called Dish Networks new customer phone center to find out the current rates and promotions. I was ready to sign up for Dish Network any day now, but I wanted to wait and see if the new "ViP 722" would ever come out. (Keep in mind, this was a month before it came out, and back then, it will still unknown if it ever would)
Fast forward a few weeks when I receive word that the 722 IS coming out soon.
After calling the New Sales department to clarify a few more questions, they said that I could order today and that I would receive a ViP 622 HD DVR receiver temporarily until the new 722 comes out in the next month. Then upon calling, I would be able to swap out my 622 for the 722 for FREE once the 722 is released. I ended up singing up that night. I even got an install the next day!
Now that the 722 has come out on the 15th of August I decided to call to upgrade the receiver. Upon talking to three different people (once, they disconnected me) they said that there would be a $250 charge!!! That price was for installation. I told them I didn't need installation as I could do it myself. The only thing that needs to be done is to unplug the cables from the 622 and reconnect them to the 722. The "non-installation shipment price" would be $199. I would then send back the 622 receiver. I explained that I was told this upgrade would be FREE as that was the deal they told me when I signed up. It's pretty bad that a one-month old receiver is already out of date and they won't let me exchange for the new one.
This is why I'm unhappy with my 622 and need to upgrade to the 722.
(I then go on and saw how i'd like the black color better, the larger HD, and the HD VOD.)
So that is basically it. I have sent a similar version of the above to the Dish Network's "e-Care" and to the ceo@echostar.com
I have not gotten any responses back, and when I call them, they just push me around to other people, and sometimes put me on "silence-hold" and usually after 20 mins of that I hear the "click-click", and yes, that means that they have hung up on me! They have pulled that trick TWICE! Apparently, someone in the New Sales department told me I could upgrade my temporary equipment to the new 722 and lied. Now, no one is taking the blame for it, and I a the one having to put up with it.
And don't get me started, they still haven't applied my $10 rebate (times 10 months)+another $10x10 rebate for the HD that I sent in both months ago.
Not only that, but I had a Club Dish Referral, and when I tried to activate it over the automated phone system, it said there was a problem and I had to talk to an operator, when I did so, (2 months ago) the CSR said he would take care of it for me manually, and I would receive my (and the other persons) credits on the next bill. I have paid two bill since then and STILL have not received such credit.
PLEASE HELP! I don't know what to do. I don't want to cancel as I love my new HD! So far I love Dish Network, it's just that there Customer Service sucks, and no one will take the blame for their mistake.
Thanks for letting me vent, and hopefully someone can help!
Thanks in advance!

Hello again!
I just want to thank everyone for their help, as I just received my ViP 722 receiver, like I was supposed to!!! This is what happened:
I called back and asked about this again. None of the CSR's could do anything so they just pushed me around. Eventually, I got a hold of a very nice woman in the "account specialist" department. She actually took her time, listened to the story and read ALL of the account notes.
I then told her about a dish network chat a chat transcript confirming all of this. She then was interested in that. She said "maybe if I have that, I can show it to the manger and he can approve everything and waive your fee for the new receiver." She asked if I had a fax machine, I said no, but my local office supply store did have one that I can use. She then said that I could send that chat via fix and they could take a look at it. She said I would have to call back tomaorrow to di it, as that department was closed for the night. I said that's fine. The next morning I called back and they gave me their fax number and told me what to write on the cover sheet. I then went in the store and sent the fax. The CSR said it would be at least a week until they receive the fax. I said "I thought it only takes a few minutes to send a fax" but she said "no, we only have ONE fax machine. Everything goes to one place. I am not located in that building right now, that building is in the US." she then said "What they do is that take all the faxes at the end of the day and scan them. then they send them as an e-mail attachment to the appropriate CSR that requests them." I said ok I understand. (at this point the fax was already sent, otherwise I would have just offered to scan the paper myself!
Anyways, when we wrapped up the call she asked for a phone number where I could be reached. She said that someone would call me when they received the fax and made the final decision. I made sure that the fact that THEY would call ME when they got it. I doubted they would call me anyways BUT THEY ACTUALLY DID!
Exactly one week from the day I sent the fax the SAME LADDIE called back and said that they DID get the fax and the manager DID approve of it. She then said that they would even throw in free installation since it should only take a few minutes (just swapping a receiver.) I got an appointment for the next weekend (sat 8am-12pm)
Today was the day as I waited for the installer. He arrived ON TIME and even called 15 mins before he arrived! At 10:30am he arrived and brought the correct receiver!! Before he left, he asked if he was supposed to take the old 622. I said NO, as the Dish CSR said they would send a pre-paid box to send it back in. The installer said ok and left. That was the end of that.
Now I have to worry about trying to transfer my DVR'd shows to the new receiver. I guess I have to bite the bullet and pay the $40 and buy a hard drive, but that will have to wait until next weeked.
Again thanks for everyone suggestions and thanks for reading my very long story. Although this all took a total of 15 phone calls (6 of which they disconcerted me) and over 7 hours of total talk/hold time, It was finally worth it!

Cutting Edge
Sometimes a thread gets so many posts in it that is can cause issues for the server so that why today we introduce The Song Name Game Part 3!
So let the game continue!
The last song was added by Bobby who posted...
One Meat Ball - Andrews Sisters
CONTINUE ON AND HAVE FUN! WELCOME HOME TO SATELLITEGUYS.US!
Here are the original rules for the game as posted by WebbyDude back in 2006. http://www.satelliteguys.us/threads/68645-Song-Name-Game
Just name a song title and the band who performed it. The next person does the same thing, but needs to list a song title or band name which includes a word from the previous entry. Pick songs from any genre.
Example:
Long Live Rock and Roll -- Rainbow
Rainbow in the Dark -- Dio
Another example:
Ride the Lightning -- Metallica
Lightning Strikes -- Ozzy Osbourne
Get it?
An additional note: we all know that song titles, sometimes, use profane words. Because this is a family friendly website it is advised that you clean up that title up a bit. This is accomplished by using something like sh!t instead of the real word. Thanks....

Howdy folks long time no write.
Issue(s): Horizontal transponders (esp. Weigel mux) breakup/mosaic/sputtering audio, JTV less so (but received perfectly up until a month or so ago.
Vertical is fine (Daystar). Up until recently couldn't even get any signal on Weigel Mux but JTV was perfect.
What I did to improve things: A slight westward move improved reception but only slightly (approx 72 on the micro HD, sorry no dB to post). I removed the 3-way C-Band splitter and used a 2-way to get a 1-2 db signal gain ( the power port goes to the Startrak - the micro HD doesn't have enough juice ! (1st clue) even after swapping the switching power supply it came with with a heftier linear 12 V supply (less RFI too !).
I have had issues with the uHD before signal breaking up that a reboot would clear up (clue #2 = dying tuner?) - FYI, I reinforced the IF input and removed all flux from the pcb completely with a Flux Removal Pen (MG Chemicals Cat No. 4140-P) which definitely makes a huge difference.
I went outside and pushed and pulled reflector slightly and no improvement. Pole (actually tower in yard - the neighbours love me..NOT) is plumb, checked with carpenters level. Dish was last peaked in 2017 or so, after overhauling 24" Von Weise, new Acme, fresh grease, etc. Focal length, f/d ratio etc meticulously adjusted. One panel has a tear so planning to repair that this weekend when my cousin comes over ( to help me out (old guy here) forecast calls for sunshine.
What has changed: My utility company has installed new high tension line poles (one smack dab in the middle of 101°W target! But they put it in last year and reception (of JTV (HOR) at least) was fine, BUT when they came out to transfer the wires over this year from the old (sawed in half) pole that's about when the troubles started (coincidence?), but again Daystar (VER) was fine. I always had this pole in the light of sight of 101° before with no issues. (fyi my zenith sat 74° is unobstucted, but can't test)
In the meantime Weigel mux is trying to break in MOSTLY in LATE at night (less cell usage?) (audio not video except for a frame here or there) so don't know what has changed with this mux which suddenly "woke up". I have never had to fuss with dish moves on this satellite ( the slightest move +/- motor clicks loses lock, wheres normally on C-band I can go significantly wider east or west and still have a strong signal ( have these gone "spot beam" or narrower somehow and what is the slight difference in Az listed on Lyngsat to 100.9° affect things ( isn't that the declination i.e. requiring a tweak of declination?).
Long story short (too late, ha), if I had another DVB-S2 box to try and / or a newer more stable PLL lnb ( I have been meaning to upgrade many a time but never got arround to it) I could determine if it's my antiquated receiving equipment, or my dish/feed alignment ( doubtful as it tracks everything from 55 °W to 133 ° W nicely.) or the dreaded 5G! (BUT only on HOR and not VER?).
I read another post where the OP (with his smaller 7.5 footer) played around with the illumination to peak desired transponder and reduce qrm on interfering/ stronger xpndrs (even on 103° W). So will play with that too - and cut away the RG-6 a and pull up a fresh section with new PPC and coax Seal. Open the throat cap see if any cobwebs are there and check servo operation (also changed in last maintence 10 years ago).
Finally, this will probably be the last chance I get to play with the BUD from the looks of it (providers leaving, auctioning off rest of spectrum imminent above 4.0 Ghz, and to keep the peace with neighbours so it would be nice to have that mux back for the long, cold and dark winters to comfort this old man before I call it quits and buy a VHF/UHF/FM Yagi and get MeTV, H&I from my Vermont local stations (checked at a friends today and they come in nicely - except ABC) .
Only one guy in town (Montreal) I may be able to get a receiver or PLL lnb from to try (RPS Sat) so hopefully with elimnate that as a possible culprit. Be nice to pick up a cheap or used PLL lnb to try w/o 5G BPF (money is tight )
Like others I couldn't care less about "tv" (well maybe just a liitle or a lot) it's the challenge that excites me , I can get MeTV other ways OTA (no pirate crap).
So what do you guys (and gals) think ?. p.s. I don't have a spectrum analyzer and there are def/ cell towers nearby (half a Km or so away).
Oh and time permitting will hammer out dings too and wire damaged mesh on one section for an extra dB or two. Hesitate to touch Declination, Elevation and pole mount but will play around with those a little too... Why is this mux for finicky suddenly ?(8psk, 5/6 fec, beamwidthetc.. man wish they went back to VER I think everthing would be fine! For the engineers out here does 5G QRM affect one poliarization (HOR) more than another (VER)? I understand the strong interference swamps out the input mixer/local oscilator in the hapless old C-band lnb (I think it at time affect KU too esp. LPB on 101°W KU - incidentally thos were weak or "gone' but are back almost at the time MeTV improved..hmm Terrestrial interference?
Any thoughts or suggestions ( cheap or free solutions please) greatly appreciated. Cheers.
p.p.s. Micro HD can't display Decades and Toons but records them fine so I can watch on another box/media player (Ali chip set issue). Another reason to upgrade.
Anybody interested in a nice C/KU system free ? (for next Spring/Summer 2027)

With the microHD connected this afternoon and tuned to the Weigel mux, I can receive the mux well.
My conclusion is that the sensitivity of the receivers in descending order of sensitivity is as follows:
My conclusion is that the sensitivity of the receivers in descending order of sensitivity is as follows:
- V9 Prime (best)
- microHD
- Edision osmio4k+

I thought I would come here and find lots of complaints about the update to the dish anywhere mobile app, but am not seeing any. It used to look just like the desktop webpage. Now you can no longer filter by sports channels or movie channels. Plus that they made it look like a big button telephone and you see fewer channels in the screen which requires more scrolling. Yes I realize you can look at sports then select which sport you want to look at, I just liked being able to see all sporting events in the guide with all other channels being filtered out. Am I alone in the wilderness on this?
