I see that E has come out with a new upgrade program. I've been wanting to get a 811 reciever for about 3 months now. I talked to a local retailer and he told me that he could not help me as I have to get ahold my original retailer. I've tried them several times and get no reply. Why won't Dish let the local guy help me. I don't really want to do the 800# thing again.

I've tried contacting my original "retailer" several times, they've always told me that they would help - never have yet. I'm still very pesemistic about going directly thru Dish. The main reason, being the things I've heard on this sight and the work that I've heard about the contractors that they have. Will they send me a 811 and let me swap it out? I have alot of hours into my system already.

They direct shipped, then they didn't, then they direct shipped again....currently, I do think you could get an 811 direct shipped if you wished to handle the install.

Let me clairity things a little...

First of all, another retailer can do the upgrade for you. It just needs to be cleared first through DISH Network retail services.

Personally I have the same policy that if you didn't get it from me origionally, I will not give you any upgrade promotions either.

It really boils down to 3 main issues...

#1 We don't get paid very much to do these upgrades from Dish. Its bairly worth my time and effort to put out money 3-4 hundred dollars for the equipment and have to worry about getting re-imbursed for it when im only making $60 on the deal to begin with.

#2 Upgrades are offered to my customers to help reduce my customer churn, why should I help another retailer keep their churn down?

#3 I don't want to get married to your install since I was the last one to work on it. Too many times in the past I have done upgrades and then been held responcible for the installation since I was the last person to work on the system. I can't walk away from your installation now because you got my equipment and if you cancel in 6 months I get charged back for that equipment and have to come and pick it up.

But call 1-800-333-Dish if your retailer won't helpl you, Dish always can.

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 like the Jimmy Fallon channel. This will be its third year. I like that it's all fresh each year. Also fun when he pops on live from time to time.

Terrible tragedy. You would think that they would have safe guards in place that would prevent something like this from happening. I guess if you are going to ride in a passenger train it might be best to get a car near the rear.

They will have to look at the switching sections to determine WHY 2 trains were on the same track ... at the same time.
