Warning! -- Don't let this happen to you!
I'm very eager to get my Dish system installed. The soonest date they were available was October 24th. A few days after I placed my installation order I noticed that I could also get CBS in HD so I called up and asked if they could install that as well. I was told, sure, but it required a second dish. This second dish couldn't be installed on the 24th but would go in on Nov 1st instead. I was particularly happy but I figured I could live with SD until I got the second dish.
Eager to get as much HD programming as possible I asked about adding Voom to my programming and have it installed when they came on the 24th. Much to my shock I was told I didn't have an installation scheduled on the 24th! :shocked Apparently they didn't want to make two trips so they canceled my installation on the 24th without telling me.
Fortunately the sales rep I was talking to warned me that any change to the order would mean another reschedule of installation. At least I only got burnt once.
Am I out of line or does it seem outrageous that they would cancel installation dates because you wanted more programming?

not anymore apparently. I've emailed three consecutive months to E* in regard to a ridiculous ClubDish credit problem, and have not received a call yet.

Continuing the Kilauea thread in the Pub here. Perhaps the Iceland one too next time there's remarkable activity.
Currently there is precursory lava flowing into the crater, leading to the next episode that'll probably start within the next day.
You can see the pace of inflation / deflation here. It serves as the primary predictor for when the expect the eruptions, which coincide w/ inflation turning into significant deflation and last for several hours on average with significant fountaining.

Wife and I like the AfarTV feeds, for the discussion along w/ them, though they're otherwise just mirrors of the official USGS feeds.

Not sure saving $24/year is worth it unless you're a hardcore Philo user. I'll stick with monthly.

'Rockford Files' Reboot Gets NBC Pilot Order
I grow tired of all the reboots. Most I don't bother with but will depend on the actor chosen.

I have Dish with Hopper3. I choose to get local channels OTA and had a "guide list" established at my previous home. Having moved a few miles away, I wanted to update the list by appending a couple new stations via a rescan. As many would know, some stations come in with the UHF/VHF antenna aimed in one direction, while others come in better with a different direction.
Unfortunately, when a scan is done (bringing in 25-30 stations for that particular antenna aim), the dialog screen does not present the established guide list; it presents an empty field to the right that the scanned stations may be selected one by one and added to the empty guide. But because of antenna aim, some stations originally saved are missing, and would have to be retrieved with a different antenna aim. But as I explain, if a 2nd scan is done with a different antenna aim, the stations saved from the first scan are lost.
It troubles me that Dish didn't develop software that would allow a user to simply append only 1 or 2 channels to the established list.
Any thought on this? Has anyone experienced this or heard of this from others?
