New DISH Network Package Eliminates Equipment Cost, Commitment; Low Price Includes Local Channels, Free Installation
ENGLEWOOD, Colo.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 8, 2004--EchoStar Communications Corp. (Nasdaq
ISH) today unveiled a promotional package designed to eliminate equipment costs and make it even easier for TV viewers to sign up with DISH Network's satellite service.
The new Digital Home Advantage plan, available Feb. 1 to new customers, will make the lowest-priced, all-digital package available with free equipment, free installation and free local channels where available for $29.99 per month, for up to two TVs. That price on the America's Top 50 package represents a $5 savings off the most comparable previous plan.
Further underscoring the value to customers, DISH Network has changed the name of the AT 50 package to America's Top 60, reflecting the number of channels added to the package over the years. Likewise, America's Top 100 now becomes America's Top 120, while America's Top 150 becomes America's Top 180.
Under the new Digital Home Advantage plan, AT 120 customers will pay $39.99 per month and AT 180 customers will pay $49.99 per month, with the same terms of free equipment, free installation, free local channels, and no long-term commitment.
The Digital Home Advantage plan also accommodates customers who want satellite TV service in more than two rooms. For instance, an AT 60 customer can watch different, crystal clear satellite channels at the same time in up to four different rooms for as little as $34.99 a month.
Customers under the DHA plan can use the equipment as long as they have DISH Network service. They can cancel at any time without a penalty, as long as they return the equipment undamaged.
DHA is supported by DISH Network's most advanced satellite receiver offerings, including the DISH 111, DISH 311, and DISH Player-DVR 510 as well as the new family of dual-tuner receivers, the DISH 322 and DISH Player-DVR 522; and the DISH 811 high definition receiver.
The DVR 522 is a two-TV output satellite receiver and integrated digital video recorder (DVR), providing the unique ability to record two shows simultaneously in two rooms.

OK, it's $5 better and no committment better than DHP. I didn't know about the rental fee. 
Q: If you get 301's instead of a 322, is it still the same $29.99? Since E* controls what they lease they should provide 322's or give that price if they provide 311's or 111's. Or is this going to become another 811 issue where you must have an 811 to get the service, but if availability is a problem you are SOL?

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 remember this in the news too...
www.nbcnews.com
$14,000 spent on rented rotary phone
A widow rented a rotary dial telephone for 42 years, paying what her family calculates as more than $14,000 for a now- outdated phone.
www.nbcnews.com
That is a misnomer. In the old days you subscribed to telephone service. That included the telephone line and one telephone. An extension cost $1 a month extra. So that $14,000 over 42 years was for the service not the leased telephone. There is no way they paid $28 a month for 42 years for a leased telephone.I remember this in the news too...

I haven't posted in almost 17 years. Over the air, sat, offline, anything-but-the-internet is still one of my avid pursuits. Been playing with offline tv viewing and offline web browsing. I have great appreciations for this site still being here. It's so hard to find public communities that haven't sold out to social media company.

Hello folks, well my luck ran out last week with a nasty thunderstorm and after 39 years here, finally took a hit. Now, the FTA receivers I had for some years worked great until now. Recently picked up a fairly cheap receiver, online, KOQIT and seems to be good, but for the life of me, I cannot get the HDMI output to work with 3 of my Samsung monitors. I can hook it up to my Samsung TV and its HDMI input and it works fine. The 2 receivers I lost also worked fine with them, so am I going crazy? anyone have come across this or have any suggestions? And, since this is a somewhat cheap unit but works, what is everyone out there using for receivers these days? without breaking the bank? I enjoy watching FTA TV, so I will invest more if needed, what is a really good, detailed unit these days. I'm so use to watching a few of them HD channels. Right now I'm down to composite hookups, yuck! Any help or info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Frank

Take the cover off, show me pics of the board of the bad one and also the bottom of the board. I'm an old hardware electronics tech plus a satellite dealer; I fixed a lot of FTA and regular receivers. I may be able to fix it for you. And yes, they got hit by lightning; it's best to email me the pics at diamondsatellite@snet.net or call me at 203-232-8888. I give you a 50-50 chance of fixing it; I do have spare parts. my phone is a fliptop phoneHello folks, well my luck ran out last week with a nasty thunderstorm and after 39 years here, finally took a hit.

Now that I'm retired, obviously I have different health care insurance. I take 2 prescriptions. With my old insurance I didn't have to pay for either of them, now I do. It's not a huge amount but it led me to dig a little into the cost of prescription medications. I have been using Walgreens for the longest time. But what I found was that Walgreens price is 4.8 times more for one of my prescriptions and the other is 2.3 percent more compared to the lowest price pharmacy. If you pay for prescription medications you might want to have a look at trumprx and see if you can get a lower price.

Actually I take just 2 prescriptions, Atorvastatin and Lisinopril. They cost me $6 each for 100 pills. Next year that will be nothing.That's ok. I probably take enough for the two of us.
God knows what Bobby takes. Maybe so much they count as a meal?
