I am planning to get dish and I have a few questions. Thanks in advance for helping me out.

1.) I believe I need to sign a 2 year contract for credits below and activation around it.
2.) Can I add a clubdish referral to the order. If yes, how does it work
3.) any other credits that I can add.
4.) which receiver would you suggest for main TV. Is there anyway to reduce the receiver and dvr fee
5.) do I need my receiver to be connected to the phone line all the time. I put pull the wires across the room. Is there any way around this?

Thanks again

1. Yes, you get savings for signing the 2 year contract, and you do not have that $99 activation fee this way.

2. You should be able to add a ClubDish referral to the order. When I did mine last year, it was $30 off the first two months. However, it is now $50 off the first two months. If you need one, I should be able to e-mail you one if you want through Dish's website if you do not have one. Just let me know; you can even private message me if you want (by clicking on my name and clicking on send a message or something similar to that). You have to use it at the time of the order from what I understand. I told mine to the CSR during the chat as well, and I went back on my chat to get my credits. However, I chanced it with not having a code, but I told them that was the only way we would sign up. So, finally, they allowed it. Long story short; it is best to have a printed code or a code. I would guess that DishStore honors ClubDish referrals. I believe Dish has a section to put in the code; I guess they have the same (not sure). You would probably have to ask Claude about that.

3. I am not sure about any other credits. You got the $15 off a month promotion. I see the $22 off for HBO and Showtime for 3 months (Just make sure that you cancel after 3 months if you no longer want it either online or by phone). When I signed up, I got the insurance free for 9 months (I think that you can cancel after the trial period if you no longer want it; otherwise, it continues. If you really do not want it, then you would most likely want to cancel after the trial period since there is now some cancellation charge. I would maybe even ask before canceling if I would be charged for canceling. I do not think they do as long as you do it by the end of the trial period).

4. I would suggest one of the HD recievers since they cost the same as SD recievers. It all depends on how many TVs you want to have service for. So, if you have 2 TVs, you could add an HD Duo reciever or HD DVR Duo reciever at no additional monthly fee. If you do 2 TVs, then you would have the $6 DVR fee a month. If you have 1 TV, then I hear that you can somehow buy an external hard drive (EHD) to make a 211 (I believe) into a DVR without paying the DVR fee. The 211 is an HD Solo receiver. I believe that just this one TV and HD Solo receiver would not cost you extra a month. However, the upfront costs for the device would cost.

5. There has been some debate about the phone line connection recently. I believe if you add after 2/1, then you should not have to pay the TV2 fees or no phone line/broadband connection (especially if on paperless and autopay...I am not saying you have to go that route, but that is what I have been reading for those currently getting a TV2 charge). You could also plug in your broadband; I believe that would also help you have access to some Dish On Demand programming. Maybe someone else can also comment on this. I really do not think it is required anymore since after 2/1 since there are no more phone line or broadband credits for being plugged into the receiver. What we did was get a wireless phone jack for our living room 222k HD Duo receiver.

I hope this helps.:D

Would this also work if I just want to use it for internet access for my TV - TV has built in Netflix streaming, but requires an ethernet connection (wireless not built in)?

Yes if you have a VIP211 you can add an external hard drive and turn it into a DVR and you will NOT have to pay any DVR fee. It will, however, cost you $40 to activate
and you will not be able to get any movies on demand.

5. Plus one on the internet connection. There are three ways to get it. With an Ethernet cable. With a Power Line sender plugged in to the wall. Dish DVR has Power Line built in. Or wireless with Wireless Access Point or Gaming Adapter. Most wireless routers have the ability to act as a Access Point.

If you do not already have one, shop around for a cheap Wireless Router and buy two. Do not hesitate to buy a refurbished router. Wireless network can be a bit tricky to set up and user error results in many wireless returns. One key you want to look for is "act as Wireless Access Point" in the description. You should be able to pick up 2 for $40 or less.

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....

It is really really simple install (no special tools or instruments required and they guide you through using their starlink app and a simple set of instructions.

You can order direct from starlink online or from an authorized retailer.

Not at all like the special equipment needed for a satellite install.

Thank you Nelson,
Yes, I fully agree. I can install it with my teeth, and both hands tied behind my back...but this installation is for a commercial user that will not do it themselves, and myself, Im overseas...

But it looks like that we managed to find someone who can drive there for the work.

Thank you 🙏

It states the average amount they are under water is OVER $7,000. :eek

Personally, I tend to be the type that drives a vehicle for a lot of years....do my own oil changes and other fluid changes. Just replaced the spark plugs and a couple coils. Youtube is great for things like this.

I'm pretty sure the most you can get is seven.

What America can't afford is the payments on $80,000+ pickups and SUVs and $40,000+ crossovers.

Believe it or not, 8 yrs...96 mon is starting to become common.

What I can't believe is the interest rates they are charging now. I've got a high credit score and when recently at a Ford dealership I inquired about what the rates were for new vehicles and he said 6.9%. Yikes.

This should hit a lot of folks with a dose of reality. I can only imagine how much more common this will get as AI progresses.

I read several stories on this and most are clear as mud. They say a lot of the stolen bitcoin has been "locked out" and that everyone will be made financially whole. I guess time will tell if either of these statements are actually true.

The "Secure Asset Fund" had about $1 billion in reserves... in Bitcoin.

The fund started in 2018, so it may take a while to make investors whole, much less replenish the fund.

That's kinda what I was seeing but all the news reports are suggesting that all investors will be made whole immediately.
The other thing they weren't clear about was the BTC that was "locked out" of the system. I guess that means that the stolen BTC is basically worthless now because I don't see how it could be replaced....but there is a LOT about the crypto world that leaves me scratching my head.

Anyone else watch this show? Any guesses as to what was in the box Gibbs gave to Abby that was on her desk? It look liked it was glowing.

I also heard that someone was leaving the show at the end of this season. Any guesses as to who thats going to be?

I don't think Tim and Tony are that far apart in Age ...

Remember what Tony said to Tim when they first got back together ...
Tony said: I am the New Tony, Tim .... (something to that effect)

Tony has changed, he's been running his Security Business ... I'm sure he has grown up.

Give it time ... your judging the New Tony from the old Tony.

It sounds like Tim won't be around the Team much longer either.

I'm curious how they are going to implement Tony into Origins (If they do) ...
Tony was introduced to Gibbs and the team, on NCIS, which makes it the Mothership side of things, he worked in Baltimore prior to NCIS, NO mention when they met that anyone had known one another ...
