Best Deal on DTV?

I am looking for the best possible deal for Dtv as the new hr-34 looks awesome. I have been a dish customer for a long time and want something different. Is it better to order on Dtv's website or go to somewhere like a Sams club or best buy. My brother has Dtv and I think I can get a referral bonus from him as well. I would be looking at getting 4 HD boxes (only need one dvr). Any help in keeping my cost down would be greatly appreciated.

anyone know exactly what the aaa discount is now? is it 20/month off for 10mo? Then you get the referral discount of 10/month for 10mo, were at 30, and thats 30 off your bill plus whatever the current promo is through dtv right?

Assuming my AAA club is the same discount as the rest, I use CSAA, it is currently 10$ a month for 20 months.

The referral is 10$ off for 10 months for the new account and 10$ off for 10 months for the referring account.

And NOTHING for existing accounts, correct ?

Yes and it seems that DTV has wised up to the double discount stuff. Just tried it for my parents new account and was told you only get ONE discount.... Either AAA or referral and NOT both. She line by line reviewed the entire order and when she got to the AAA discount she told me it was one or the other.

Could try Sales Support roulette I guess but not worth the trouble in my opinion.

Definitely should try the roulette route. I did and was successful in getting AAA and a referral July 2010 and have had two friends get both by pushing the issue. Took me 10 minutes; my other two friends around 15-20 minutes. To me it's worth it for an extra $200.

I would keep trying, you should be able to get both and YES its worth the trouble, it's $ 100, unless $ 100 isn't worth much to you.

Song Name Game Part 3!

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....

Finished season 3 last night. Still one of my favorite shows.

Anyone else wonder if there might be something else going on with Callum? Seems to me he has too much access to Russian intelligence.

Hopper 3 with Hopper plus internet connection problems

Over the past few weeks, I have had problems connecting to streaming services (Netflix, HBO et al). When I go to the TV's native Channels, I have no problem. The Dish internet troubleshooter shows I have a good internet connection. I'm wondering whether it's an issue with my internet provider or a problem with the Dish software on the Hopper Plus. Anyone else seeing this?

I have a DISH Hopper 3 (Software H713) with Hopper Plus (Software P15403). I have not tried streaming services but I primarily watch TVB Jadeworld international package which is only available by streaming and when I have an issue, I usually have to go to a non-streaming satellite channel first before the streaming channels will work again. What software versions do you have and what is the error message if any are showing on your screen? or is that Dish downloading logo just stuck and never finishes?

I'm on H713 on the Hopper and P15403 on the Hopper Plus. It shows internet connection issues and doesn't finish loading the various services. I see the "loading circle going around. Sometimes I get a message saying that the service is having trouble loading my content and to check the internet connection.

Did it ever work correctly before? Hard to say what the problem is. Usually for streaming, it will show the Dish logo with lines sweeping down to show downloading, never seen the circle issue. Did you try a manual reboot, red button reset, power cord unplug/replug to see if it makes a difference.

Buy a roku and dump the hopper plus you'll be better off. If you have a smart tv you don't need either one. No hopper plus here and no issues!!!
