Best Number to call for Dish Promos

A couple of years ago I called a Dish number (not the normal one) and I talked to someone very helpful about getting me special promos to stay with Dish's service. I got like $30 off for 24 months and 6 PPV passes w/o having to sign a new commitment. Do you guys know the best number for me to call for that?

I got $40.00 off a month for a year on my account and $30.00off a month for a year on my second account for my parents. From now on I stick to yearly deals because you never know when you will want to cut the cord entirely. Right now I've already started shaving the cord with dropping the sat locals and using a Tablo ota Dvr. Soon there will no reason to get premium channels from satellite since HBO is gone and Showtime is high now too. I can get them cheaper online. I think I still have Dish for the flex pack and for the Hopper 3. But I'm starting to wonder if it is worth $15.00 a month.

Called DISH at 888-496-1260 today and the lady answered the phone as an account specialist. I asked her to look over my programs to see what she could do. She gave me the $40 credit too but I thought it was for just one month. I sure hope it is for a year too. She said DISH has changed their policy for the Protection Plan. She said I should cancel it and just add it when needed. Then you have to keep it for six months. So I cancelled it. I about fell over. I knew a lot of folks already didn't have the Protection Plan and signed up for it when needed but now it is the DISH policy to do it that way. She also said they are working hard on getting HBO back.

She asked me if there was anything else she could do for me. So, I told her how my DISH sure has faded and is getting ugly. I said you can't tell if it is a DISH or Direct dish and I didn't like that. So, she has scheduled me an appointment to replace my faded dish and LNBs too. One of the best phone calls I have ever had with DISH.

Look at your programming section of your online account and see if the $40.00 a month off credit shows up in your summary part of your programming. It would say credit 1 of 12 if the $40.00 off is for a year or it would say one time courtesy credit of $40.00 if it isn't . Mine showed up in a couple of days after I talked to the rep.

They have to disclose the agreement.

If they didn't, you can easily argue your not in a contract if you decide your not happy later

I was told I already have a good deal + not a long time customer so not able to reduce ongoing monthly bills...I asked when am I considered a long timer After 2 years was the reply.

He offered me a one time $60.00 credit off my next bill + another 54 Remote to replace the one that is an annoyingly loud clicker!

Do I really have a good deal or just the normal retail deal?

Thanks for the number. I did called and got a new 1 yr contract with $30 off a month for the year. I was happy with that, being on a fixed income. That makes a big difference.

$6.3 billion in crypto stolen by hackers

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.

www.cnbc.com

Hackers steal $6.3 billion from Binance in biggest-ever cryptocurrency theft

The company later added it began recovering assets impacted by the breach after pledging to cover losses using its Secure Asset Fund for Users.

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.

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....

New report states 29% of vehicles being traded in are under water

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.

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!!!
