I am installing a new fence around my house and it is a higher than the last, blockin my sat. signals. Looking for some advice. Please read and advise. This is the chat that I had, little long but it somewhat of a good read, even a little funny. Wanted to get the 61.5 to keep all my options open. i thought he would be a little more helpful when he saw I was not in contract, but he did not seem to care. Sorry if I am thinking wrong. Thanks in advance.

(24DrDcb) Tim B: Thank you for choosing Dish Network the leader in HD and DVR. I will be happy to assist you today. Please give me 2-3 minutes to access your account and review the information you have already provided.
(24DrDcb) Tim B: I'd be happy to assist you with that, so the dish needs to be relocated
J: yes
(24DrDcb) Tim B: for us to relocate the dish it would be $99.00
(24DrDcb) Tim B: Are you still there?
J: Wow. i was not expecting such a price just to move the sat a couple feet. When does my contract expire?
(24DrDcb) Tim B: that is standard price for moving any equipment
(24DrDcb) Tim B: right now it would be about 13 months in the contract
J: ok, but I am not able to pay such a price right now. With the way the eco. is i am lucky to even have sat.
J: so when does my contract expire?
(24DrDcb) Tim B: as of right now there is 13 months on the contract, looking at the account I would be willing to split the cost in half with you
J: So I would pay $50?
(24DrDcb) Tim B: yes sir
J: Well actually my Sat 110 and 119 come in it is just sat 129
(24DrDcb) Tim B: did you want to set that up?
J: Well can I go ahead and get the 61.5 sat setup with that? Because with all the locals and Eastern Arc going to 61.5 I know that I will eventually need it and it will save me from having to pay twice.
(24DrDcb) Tim B: it would just be a repoint
J: Well can we make it with the 61.5 so i don't have to pay $50 or $100 again in a few months
J: I enjoy dishnetwork, but i have to do what is economical for me
(24DrDcb) Tim B: they are not doing any installs on eastern arc yet and it would be different location then 61.5
J: Well I know that Jackson, Ms locals and all the HD locals that are currently being installed are being put on 61.5, I just don't want to have to pay for this then when my locals are put in Hd, to have to pay again for another install
J: Nickels and Dimes can add up
(24DrDcb) Tim B: I understand but the work order would just be a repoint, there would be other charges for another dish install
J: How much?
(24DrDcb) Tim B: I am willing to waive half of the service I would need to set up to get the dish relocated
J: ok but to get the relocate and 61.5, how much total?
(24DrDcb) Tim B: let me double check
J: ok
(24DrDcb) Tim B: for the 2nd dish 24 month commitment would be 0.00 no commitment would be 99.95 that doesn't include the relocation of the dish you have now
J: okay so 2 year commitment, & $50 for the 61.5 and the relocation
(24DrDcb) Tim B: yes
J: ok
(24DrDcb) Tim B: you have the meridian locals so as of right now the 2nd dish would do no good
J: yes but i want to be ready when they are turned on, so i will not have to worry about it later.
(24DrDcb) Tim B: the promotion for the locals will still be the same it wont even give me the option on them yet
(24DrDcb) Tim B: Are you still there?
J: (24DrDcb) Tim B: for the 2nd dish 24 month commitment would be 0.00 no commitment would be 99.95 that doesn't include the relocation of the dish you have now
J: okay so 2 year commitment, & $50 for the 61.5 and the relocation
(24DrDcb) Tim B: yes
J: ok
(24DrDcb) Tim B: Are you still there?
J: yes. I just sent the agreement that I thought that we discussed.
(24DrDcb) Tim B: but you do not have Jackson locals
(24DrDcb) Tim B: you have meridian and they are not in hd so it will not give us the option for that market to do a 61.5 install
J: Not even for sake of the Eastern Arc?
(24DrDcb) Tim B: that wasn't an agreement at all I was telling what the cost would be
(24DrDcb) Tim B: no sir Eastern arc will be a different location then 61.5
J: Sorry to ask again but when does my contract end? I was almost certain that it ended this month. What location will Eastern Arc be?.
(24DrDcb) Tim B: so at this point the 61.5 dish would not be possible would you like to set up the service call to get the dish relocated?
(24DrDcb) Tim B: looking at the account you did an upgrade in January that had an 18 month commitment and as of right now there is 13 months left in it
J: What was the upgrade in Jan? I haven't had an upgrade since Feb of 2006, when I got HD channels.
J: I used Dishmover in July of last year.
(24DrDcb) Tim B: I see you did the paperless billing so it would not be a commitment sorry about that, so it looks like you are not in one
J: ok. So I am not currently in a contract?
(24DrDcb) Tim B: correct from what I see
J: ok. well I guess I am going have to talk to my wife, because I can not see paying $50 for a relocation of a satellite to get the same channels that I am currently getting. When I am not even in a contract. I will have to step back and take a look at my options.
(24DrDcb) Tim B: at this point what would you like to do sir?
(24DrDcb) Tim B: ok
(24DrDcb) Tim B: Is there anything else I can assist you with?
J: no. thanks for your time.
(24DrDcb) Tim B: You're very welcome.

If you want to take a shot at doing your own dish, you should get a sat finder too. You can usually find them for cheap on ebay and a few other locations like Rat Shack: RadioShack.com - Home Entertainment: Accessories: Satellite TV accessories: Winegard® Satellite Finder
One of these can really save time and you won't need someone in the house yelling out the signal every two seconds while you adjust your dish.

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.

HERE TO HELP YOU!
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....

I was bewildered with all the new DISH TV "Bonus View" channels, so I put together a web page table with all the info I could find. It's at:
https://anythingpeaceful.org/dishtv/DISH_TV_Bonus_View_Channels.html
Here's a partial screenshot of the table, as sorted by Channel Name. (You can click on a column header to sort.)
If you have any corrections or suggestions, please post here.
