OK, Sorry for the long post but I want to learn a lot. I also thought that if I give you a full description and some back story you will know where I am coming from and where I want to go.
I have a TL;DR at the bottom you can skip to which will answer some of my questions. I choose this forum because I didn't think I could get everything out in a phone conversation to Dish and I also see that some dish reps post here and that I also wanted some outside opinion.
I had Dish Network and DirectTV before when I was in a different Living situation Back 9 years ago.
I just recently Resubscribed to Dish Network and things are a little different than when I had it last. At least I think some things are so I just want to ask a few questions to clear things up.
First Question is about Equipment.
Back when I had Dish before the deals were that you buy the box and maybe through the reseller you could get a special deal on the receiver if signed a certain contract and you had an option of $99.00 credit that went for a self install kit or professional installation. I self installed both my Directtv and then Dish Network.When I moved there was no obligation to return the Box and I think that the terms was that the Cards were the property of the Dish Network and you had to return them. When I left Dish I was never asked to return the card and so after a few years the receiver and Card went in the trash. Also my box had gone out and I just bought another one off of Ebay and customer support and my reseller helped me with switching out the cards. But I don't remember what I had to do exactly. Card had to be reprogrammed by sending to dish to match it to the receiver if I am getting things right.
Now currently when I subscribed I did not have to pay for any equipment and the only option was free installation and it seemed like the reseller network had shrunk to minuscule and so I dealt with Dish directly.
So I have a few questions on how things operate now. And have made some assumptions so please answer my questions and correct any wrong assumptions.
I have a VIP 722 DVR HD and a VIP211 HD
On my bill I am charged a $6.00 Fee for DVR which I understand to be the monthly subscription charge for DVR service for the VIP722. This is just like my monthly subscription charge Tivo charges to have all the programming menus/TV Guide and such that I would have if I didn't have a lifetime subscription on my Tivo.
So the first question is this if I add more DVR Dish boxes to my system does the DVR price stay at $6.00 or go up for each additional Dish DVR I might add?
Second I have a $7.00 "HD Solo Receiver" charge that is reoccurring on my bill.
What is this charge?
Is this "lease" that they charge me because I have a second receiver and that the first receiver "lease" is included in the Monthly Package since I never had to pay for the equipment and under "My Equipment" online both receivers are listed as "Leased"and they are using the same model that I had with Cable where the equipment is leased to me and I am charged monthly fees.
Or is this an addition receiver charge that is added to the bill for each receiver that I have above the first one and if so how is this rate calculated. Is it $7.00 per receiver no matter what one I add or is there a schedule based on what type of receiver I add to my subscription.
My current setup is the 2 dish HD setup. Can I still use something like the
Now for some general questions.
What is the deal now a days with Dish Network and their Equipment. Can I buy the Equipment instead of leasing it? I thought they used to be more like the Cell Phone model where if you have the equipment that works with our network and it has good serial numbers we will let you activate it on our system. Has that changed and they are more like cable? Our equipment on our system leases from us only?
I know back in the day I thought you could buy peoples used boxes and add them to your subscription as long as the equipment and card was not from a delinquent account you were then able to save money over buying one from dish or a reseller at full price. Just like things are in the cellular market where you buy used phones and if nothing is wrong with the EIN they can be activated and you can activate it as a new or replacement phone.
If I can buy my own equipment say off of Ebay/Craigslist etc. can I add it to my account? If so is it only certain equipment that I can do this with? "like" I am thinking that if all dish does now is lease equipment since I don't see anything on Dish about buying equipment can I still buy older equipment that was purchased before Dish stopped selling and went to a leasing model.
if I can buy any equipment from a secondary market or just certain equipment how can I protect myself from buying stolen or banned/delinquent account equipment/cards or someone Else's leased equipment that they are not allowed to sell. Is Dish friendly about making inquiries on the status of receiver and card IDs? Do I just have the option to buy the equipment on the secondary market then I have to Buy the card from Dish or can I buy the card too?
If I can buy Equipment do I have to have Dish come out and install it or since I have installed my own back in the days can I just do activation over the phone?
How many receivers can I have on one account? wanting to know both Max number to have total and maximum number you can have without occurring additional charges. And please define receivers when answering this. Does my current setup of the 1 Duo and 1 Solo count as 2 receivers(each physical Receiver) or 3 receivers because there is 2 tuners in the Duo and one tuner in the Solo.)
Thank You for reading this far!
The reason I am asking all this is I needed some programming that was not available on my cable but that Dish has. So we currently have Dish and Cable. There are a few reasons for this. Cable provides my internet and the speed over the highest DSL in my area and bundle price for the channels made sense. But now the Cable internet service has too many subscribers in the area and the lines are getting bad. I have been having too much quality issues with my internet so I am considering DSL.
Second we are a large family in a large house that is wired to the hilt. When I signed up for Dish over the internet and the option came up for receivers it asked where I was putting them. Both were going into different family rooms but Dish's online sign up was not letting me put family room for both receivers.
My current cable set up though has 5 TV's and 2 computers connected to the cable. One of the TV is PIP so it has two cable connections one going to the cable box which connects to the RGB input and the second goes to the TV tuner. I also have in one rumpus room a TV with a TV connected to a Game console and Cable. In the corner is a treadmill that has a TV that has wireless headphones that someone can be using the treadmill in the corner while someone else uses the other TV. Also 4 children in the house and none of them have TV in their rooms. But three are old enough and responsible that we are going to wire cable into their rooms. The thing is Cable has no care what we do the more we added we just had to add line amplifiers.
So I am also wondering with the extent I had to ID the receivers locations when I subscribed is Dish going to be a pain in the ass about the receivers I have and their location in the house if I do move over to them?
Pretty much I am a tech guy that has wired in my whole house. Computer Network, Servers, CCTV and my Cable. I have also worked where I managed PBXs, networks, a C/Ku Large dish setup back in the days for a company with their own distribution through the office and worked as a computer tech for a company that operated their own broadcast studio setup which was a multi large dish setup that had special subscription services that was broadcast out through the plant and a receiver box that had to go on the system for each subscription that changed out on a semi Regular basis and even had an uplink of their broadcast signal. So I am one of those that want to do everything my way and perfect and custom and am capable of handling my own in house TV setup and I have a lot of freedom with the Cable service I have now but am afraid that Dish might be too anal/bureaucratic for me.
Like with Cable now I have 2 cables coming into the house and 2 amplifiers one that I bought and one provided by the cable company a High Band Channel Notch Filter on it and a Modulator split into the cable system so that any TV that just has the basic cable hooked up I can tune into my CCTV system on Channel 75. So if a cable tech comes out I give them a short tour of the system and they see it is all proper and don't worry that it is a little unconventional and do their thing. Never once had the Cable company try and call me on my system even though the techs first look leaves them with a puzzled look on their face they realize everything is legal and on the up and up and that I am using all the right Notch filters and one way pass filters that I am not corrupting their system or illegally obtaining any of their signal and I am paying for what I get.
I had actually looked into dish a few years ago and was talking to a rep about a setup quote and they were having trouble with me telling them I wanted to setup one Dual tuner receiver for one TV and PIP they said that if the tech got there and that there was not 2 tvs for the Dual Tuner they would not install it. This is some of the Hassles I foresee if I go to dish completely or if I can buy used do things myself can I work with Dish and get what I want done? Plus if I do such a big expansion am I going to have to explain myself to dish. I only know a little about satellite piracy from what I have seen in the news and I don't want to get into a bureaucratic nightmare with Dish because they are so protective because of piracy and I want to make up a system that is too complicated for Dish to understand what I am doing and though it is legal because they don't understand it that they don't want to deal with me or that I will be dealing with phone reps that has a script to go by and can't handle my odd requests.
The bottom line and a TL;DR
With Cable now I have no problem doing what I want with my setup. Don't have to worry about buying special equipment for each TV or registering every TV and its location I don't have to buy everything for the system from them for the basic cable and only have to get tuners and tuner cards for the TV's I want subscription stuff on which I don't need on every TV. If I switch over to Dish how much of my freedom am I loosing because they are so paranoid of pirates (although I heard that the satellites have managed to stop them through a new system.) and is it going to cost a fortune to do all the TV's I want to do and maybe not be able to do some of things that I do now with cable and where do I have to buy my equipment? Can I buy used Equipment?
Thank You

Was raining yesterday so I went to Sams up in Dothan to stock up on some things. Haven't been there in quite a while. I was amazed at how large most of the TVs were. When I walked in they had a 100 in Vizio (I think it was Vizio) that was marked down to something like $1,200. The first rows of TVs were all in the 80 in + sizes. The next couple of rows had the "smaller" models....those 75 and under. I was amazed at how small the 75s looked when lined up with the larger screens.

I remember buying my 1st Sony .... a whopping Big 27" CRT XBR .... $1200.
Yep....because they weren't going to get any bigger and the CERTAINLY weren't going to get any cheaper.I remember buying my 1st Sony .... a whopping Big 27" CRT XBR .... $1200.
I remember MANY years ago I went into Sams Club and saw a thumb drive on sale for $49.88....the storage capacity was a whopping 256mb....yes, MB. I just KNEW that was as cheap as they could ever go and there was simply NO way they could fit any more memory into something that small.

Thanks to Fitch Ratings ( who gives the ratings on Credit and debt, as approved by the SEC, so they have accurate numbers) we have the totals.
DIRECTV's video subscriber base is the third-largest traditional multi-channel video programming distributor (MVPD) in the U.S. with about 8.2 million subscribers at the end of 1Q26.
The last time it was reported, it was 8.8M at the end of 2Q25, so only a 600,000 loss for 3 quarters, which is a major improvement, since for many years before that, it was losing 500,000 a quarter, 2 Million a year.
It is now losing less than Dish/Sling combined, I believe the Genre Packs are helping to retain and get subscribers.

have you tried to call in and threaten to cancel and see how that works out??? have you tried going back onto directv.com and making a new acct for discounts posing as a new sub.. it worked for me when ATT destroyed it

, the deal breaker was id'e be stuck with an HR-54 and not an HS-17. and there's no more wired gemini's for new subs or that's what i was told. and billing and tech support is still in the ATT eco system
they offered me the new customer deals and a 300.00 prepaid visa to leave DISH along there were going to waive the 49.00 activation fee

Personally, IF I ever went back with Sat, I would definitely take the HR54 ... but each set up is different from house to house, what works for you ... in reality, I would probably go streaming instead, as my needs have changed, I no longer need a portable recvr to use while camping.they offered me the new customer deals and a 300.00 prepaid visa to leave DISH along there were going to waive the 49.00 activation fee
I've had a H3 receiver for years but just recently began watching and recording 4k content. I'm consistently having the display revert to the upper left quarter of the screen after fast forwarding or pausing the playback of 4k recordings.
Some research I've done blames it on the Hopper as not having the processing power to quickly shift between the FF or pause playback formats and it leaves the playback device in a mode thinking that it's no longer receiving a 4k stream. So it displays the 1/4 image.
I've found that I can quickly recover back to a full screen 4k display by using the remote sequence Pause / Info / Resume.
I've tested this on two different monitors, but they're both LGs, so maybe it's the TVs, and not the Hopper? Is this a known problem? Anyone else experience this?

Pissed off at the crappy healthcare costs
My health Insurance renewal for 2027 just came in. Going from $827 a month to $1,187 a month. Deductible going up a $1k to $9,350. Max out of pocket also going up $1k to $11,000. Doctor co-pay of $40. Urgent Care co-pay $50. ER 50% coinsurance after deductible. That's all in network. Out of network is double, should it be needed.
Have to think about this. I'm really tempted to just go without now. I only go to the doctor once or twice a year. I pay out of pocket for Tirzepitide and can do without the Rosuvastatin (crestor) now. Really tired of spending over $10k a year and getting nothing out of it.
After years with Blue Cross I switched last year to Ambetter as my Blue Cross premium was going from $1200 to $1800 for a Silver plan and the Bronze plan was still going to be $1300 at BCBS. Ambetter was $827 for the same coverage with a Bronze plan. Didn't think it would jump this much so soon.
I'm guessing a Silver plan is probably over $2,000 a month for 2027.

Such a scam. Healthcare.gov shows me cheaper individual plans available for 2027 from ambetter that ambetter doesn't show on their website. Looked it up. I've spent $68,000 in premiums the last 5 years and got nothing out of it except a few doctors visits and labs.
S
have you even been abroad. talk about the cost of health care the whole cost of living in merica is a scam. were taxed to death so bad everyone's a slave to the govt. explore the cost of living in other countries it might blow your mind!!!Such a scam.

Cutting Edge
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....
So let the game continue!

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?

After having continuing trouble with my eight+ year old Dell Inspiron laptop I am looking to hopefully catch a good deal on new one. My options to buy is Costco and Sam's Club. It seems like a lot of new laptops are 2 in 1 which I do not need. I use the laptop to mainly surf the web and keep up with my finances, money and bills. I would like to have at least a 15" screen and having a touchscreen is a plus. The keyboard would need to lighted also. I don't game any. It would have to be Windows instead of and not Mac. The brands I see the most are Asus, Dell and HP. My two last laptops has been Dell's. Of these brands are there any standouts over the other brands. My budget (hopefully) is $600+-. Also while researching I noticed that do not have ethernet ports.
