"Moving"

A few questions about "Moving" - that I haven't been able to answer via search.

1) Verify that I can get the spotbeam required for my new market (DONE)
2) I understand the process as:
Chat with agent online, state that I need to change my SERVICE address to xxxx, and that my BILLING address should not be changed.
3) Next - I assume reboot/check switch for changes to be made.

Questions on the process:
1) Does it matter if the address I give them is residential, commercial, etc?
2) Does it matter if the address has existing Dish service?
3) Assuming they don't change my billing address, will they ever contact me at that address?
4) Does it matter if I still use OTA and there is a local OTA channel 9, and also a channel 9 for my new locals via SAT? Will it just show two channel 9's with different names and all is well?

Thanks for the help, if there's anything else I should know feel free to add the info!

If you are in a "no sales tax" state and move your service to a state that has sales tax (but keeping your billing address in the "no-tax" state), will you be charged sales taxes? Does the service address or the billing address determine how the sales taxes are charged?

I believe it is based off of the billing address.

I'm not so sure. I changed my service address and it was the only change I made. My State/Local taxes went from 10.42 to 5.55.

When I do the snowbird change of service and keep billing the same at the home address, the FL satellite tax kicks in. At home home there is no tax.

yes it will show both

When I "moved" (to get locals where I use to live) Dish put the CW subchannel as 11-0 (Duluth, MN). Here in Minneapolis we have a 11-1 & 11-2 so the guide looked as such
11-0 KDLHD (the CW from Duluth, MN)
11-1 KARE (the NBC affiliate in Minneapolis)
11-2 KARE-DT2 (subchannel)

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....

Dish Hopper and Dish Hopper Plus No Alexa in settings

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.

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.
