After 20 months of DISH service, I must say ADIOS DISH. Up until my 18 month commit was over I had almost no problems with DISH and was satisfied with the hd pq and channel selection. I had a 622 which serviced two televisions I have on my second floor. In my downstairs family room I had a 211. After the 18 month was up I called to inquire about getting a second hd dvr for my family room. The csr offered me a 612 but wanted a 2 year commit. I really didn't want to commit for that long. I took a pass for the time being.

About two weeks later a rep from AT&T comes to my door announcing UVERSE availablity in my neighborhood. The four tv dvr really peaked my interest. I had tv with DISH ( also All American for distants), internet with Comcast , and phone with AT&T totaling 245 a month. AT&T packaged tv,internet, and phone for 186. Then they gave me 14 off a month for a year, an additional 20 off for 6 months, 3 free months of hd programming , another 10 off for 6 months and 100 cash back. The television was the everything package(400) with hd. Has many channels that DISH doesn't carry. DISH has a few more hd but all the ones I watch AT&T has. Free installtion and NO CONTRACT OR COMMITMENT.

Had UVERSE installed and I'm beyond satisfied. The hd dvr is a dream machine. Have the dvr in my family room but I can watch the recorded shows on any of my now 4 tv's. Very easy to program. The hd pq is the same as DISH but the sd is much better. Not the soft muted pq I had with DISH. I did have an issue with my phone after the installer left. I called and a tech was at my door 9am the next morning and took care of the problem.

When I called DISH to cancel they asked me why I was leaving. After explaining the several reasons to a csr( bad csr's was another issue) she sent me to a cancellation csr. Now they try and offer me incentives to stay. He tells me they will give me a 612 with only a one year commit and ten dollars off a month. I laughed. Sorry Charley, too little, too late. ADIOS DISH:wave:wave:wave

Well all I can say is good luck. The Tv part of Uverse seems to keep people satisfied if they are not to concerned about HD. The phone and internet seems to have alot of problems. I have changed atlest 15 people back to Dish after all the problems they had with Uverse.

Bleah... I have had access to U-verse for nearly a year. The HD offerings keep me away. I have two HDTV's. Two tuners are not enough.

I have access to Dish, Direct, Time Warner Cable and U-verse. The only one tempting me to leave Dish right now is Direct.

I have had only one small problem with the phone which was taken care of by a tech the next day. I know of three homes within a block of me that have dropped E & D since U-verse in now available. The whole home dvr for me is even better than my old 622.

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 have Dish Hopper and Hopper Plus and also have Alexa Echo. I link the Alex skill to Dish and it asks me to enter the pairing code shown on the TV. I go into Dish Settings and there is no Alexa shown. Not sure what to do.

Tell Alexa verbally what to do.

What is the purpose of connecting Alexa and the H3?
I stand up from my chair with my glass in one hand and my plate in the other, when a story I really want to hear comes on the TV. So I say, "Alexa, pause DISH", and it waits for me to return from the kitchen, at which time I say, "Alexa, resume DISH".

Or maybe, when I return with a full glass in one hand and a new plate in the other, I realize I forgot to pause to hear this good story from its start. So I say, "Alexa, skip DISH backwards 3 minutes", and I still get to catch the whole story.

I use this every day. Or until I acquire a third hand.

The Resurrectionists can help you with that.

For a price.

I figured some of the guys would be looking here for an answer. You'll need to use this link

I'll mention what happened over there. I don't want to cause Scott any issues or put him in a bad spot.
