How to dump PPV from deactivated receiver?

I have sold a Dish 510 DVR, and I thought the card was clear, but upon double checking, I see that there are 2 PPV's on it. The receiver was deactivated last Saturday. If I reconnect the phone line to the 510, is there a way I can make it call Dish and unload the PPV's so that I can pay for them and have a clear card?

Thanks!

Thanks for the ideas! I am going to try to hook it to the phone line and the satellite line and see if it will dump it. Otherwise, if I take off the PPV amount from the selling price, then the buyer should not have any problems activating, should he?

At the time of activation they would have to pay the charges probably with a credit card if they show up. They may not get reported back to DISH until the account is activated with a phone line plugged in so at activation they may not show up.:)

Thanks! I will try to dump it, and if I can't i will subtract the ppv amount fro the selling price.

Along these same lines, is there a way to clear the Purchase History? I have an event that has already been sent to Dish (and paid for) but it still shows in the Purchase History list. Any way to clear the list?

The list store into your smardcard, so only legit way to clean it - contact Dish.

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 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.

Tell Alexa verbally 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.

The Resurrectionists can help you with that.

For a price.

I figured some of the guys would be looking here for an answer. You'll need to use this link

I'll mention what happened over there. I don't want to cause Scott any issues or put him in a bad spot.
