Sorry if this has been previously posted.

I got a flyer in the mail the other day saying I am a valued customer and Dish wants to offer me two special rewards. One is the HD DVR Reward a $360 value, and the other is the Programming Reward for $230. Basically, they want me to sign a new two-year contract. I have been out of contact with ATT Dish since the end of February.

Any suggestions as to what I should do? I already have AEP/Locals/HD with 2 622s.

Well, I called the number on the offer card this morning and lo and behold I got someone who spoke American English. Good news: I took the $230 off deal (No, he would not give me both offers.). Bad news: I had to accept the 24 month commitment. Worse news: I still have to pay $20 for HD, as the $10 HD is only for "new" customers; not loyal customers, but I was getting a good deal with the $230 off. He said he was sorry, but he was only doing his job and that Dish makes the rules. Kick in the head: I ask about unbundling from ATT and he tells me no need to do that. All I had to do was verify my email address and all would be fine. About 5 minutes after I hung up I get an email from Dish thanking me for providing my email address and that I could now access all my Dish account info, etc. etc. Well, I click the link to update my info and it tells me since I was being billed by a third party (ATT) this service is not currently available to me. WTF!!!

So some existing customers are getting Platinum for free and some aren't. Not a good way to do business E*. Roxor, if I were you I'd play CSR roulette and get the Platinum for free like others are apparently doing.

Go online and do a chat and ask to be changed from whatever metallic hd pack you have , gold , silver, bronze to the HD + plat pack. That is easily done and the tech can change you online. IF that doesn't work then you need to email the following email address and they can help.

ceo @ echostar. com ----- spaces left on purpose so no spam.

I currently have Gold and Platinum HD, thus the $20 charge. I asked for both for $10, but the CSR said "no can do" as I reported earlier. I'll try the email route, but I am not optimistic at this point.

Looks like it may be too late now. They just changed the DISH website to show HD + Plat for $10.00 is only for NEW SUBS now.

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.
