Right in the quote is your answer "TWO DIFFERENT ADDRESSES"

Ok, I'm getting conflicting information here also. So, who is right? You or Minnow? Do they go buy the mailing address or the service address ? And I can't even get customer service to answer this question. I'm leaving then anyway. I just wanted the networks till I get directtv to hook me up. Cbs doesn't even come in, I get a no signal screen. I have been talking to a lot of people and people were divided over swithching to directtv or going with this company. Now that they see the qualityor non exsistense of the signals directtv is going to be even busier. Can you guys tell me where you get your information of where NPS gets the system they use to qualify an address? Thanks, J

From many other accounts here, people(and I was one of them) are requested to give your phone number and address when signing up for NPS. Dish supplied that information to them and NPS checks to see if the information you give them is the same as what Dish gave them. If your address is listed as a PO Box, then you will not be eligible for DNS. What was the address Dish had for your tenant ? I'll bet it was not a PO Box.

As has been stated, P.O. Box do not qualify for distants (only actual service address) and we have seen multiple times that you must put in EXACTLY what you have on file with Dish for this weekend reprieve, the fact that NPS allowed the P.O. box DNS service shows they are giving out service illegally and confirming that Dish gave out service illegally.

To add to this... I did not think that Dish would set up two accounts at the same service address (except for whatever they do when you have more than 6 tuners or something).

I bet the tennant has a different service address which is what they are using to determine eligibility, and not the mailing address.

You mentioned rural address. Although like the address used by city folks, it is also assigned by the U.S. Postal Service, but it's not really a physical address either. Who knows, maybe the tennant used a different/incorrect rural address.

Also, when you address a letter to someone, you do not use the "City, State" in the address, you use the "Post Office and State" to address letters. And generally, there is one Zip Code associated with that Post Office. Often the Zip Code will cover beyond the local area and/or city limits (if any), and in fact could even cover parts of two counties. For some Zip Codes, Dish had to ask you which county you live in, so that they could determine what programming you qualified for. If you told them you lived in the county furthest from the main population, then you may qualify for additional (of different) programming.

One last thought... Going by various posts, it's obvious that Dish doesn't have good records, so it is also possibly that bad records where transferred. Such as, some have said they have been receiving DNS and not paying for it, and are still receiving DNS.

Disconnect your service, and have your receiver added to your tennants' account, especially if the tennant gets the adult channels.

He should change his account address to a PO Box in the same zip code as his tenant.


All this cracks me up. Someone stated earlier that it's silly for adults to be fighting over TV channels. Maybe I don't have a good grasp on what the problem is but it sure does apprear stupid to me from my limited knowledge.
