Cancelled dish

[Tampa8]

I was not able to get that changed when I tried in the past, so I would say that is 100% correct.

I would say Mike now knows his problem, since he has not replied.

When I cancel my DISH service and am waiting for the box to return my 722 rec'r -- will I still be able to watch the shows already recorded on the 722 DVR?

You should be able to. You won't be able to watch from an EHD.

I'd disconnect the coax leading from the Dish before you cancel, so that a "disable" signal can't be sent to the box. That shouldl buy you more time.

You should be able to. You won't be able to watch from an EHD.

Thanks for the info! I was hoping that would be the case -- so that I could finish up watching some things for a few weeks before I return the unit. I'll make space and move some things back over from the EHD before canceling service.

What if I just Suspend my DISH service (for $5/month) - will I be able to watch programs already recorded on the 722 (not the EHD)? Should I disconnect the satellite lines and/or the ethernet before doing so?

If on pause, I beleive you should still have access. Best bet, take away any chances and just unplug the coax.

 

[STL]

Yes, I found out that suspending is called DISH Pause and that I should be able to have access to my programs record internally during that time -- at least according to what I read in this thread:
http://www.satelliteguys.us/xen/threads/dish-pause-and-hd-free-for-life.346055/

 

[STL]

I have another question. I know I won't have access to my EHD when my account/service is Paused -- but if I un-Pause then will I again have access to all the programing already recorded on the EHD (prior to Pausing)?

 

[thomasjk]

Yes.

 

[STL]

Thanks (thomasjk) I was hoping that would be the case.

How are we suppose to get the LNB when it is install on top of the high roof more than 10 years ago?

 

[ChadT41]

Only expected to send it back if you can safely access it. If you cannot safely access it, then they will automatically write it off as long as the receivers get back.

Ok so i get a bill yesterday and I owe dish 37.00 for a box return fee. They told me that the fee was going to be waved.

 

[ChadT41]

There may be an offset credit for it. PM Dirt and see if that may be what's left over from programming. May not have realized it if they applied 2 credits for the box returns costs, but you still had programming costs, and it would cover those, so the credit applies before the box charges.

I can't wait to cancel Dish. Picture quality is crap. I've been a Dish customer since 05. Dish you can only compress so much.

9 more days for my contract. Dreading the drama of calling to cancel and then the likely messed up final bill.

I'll gladly call and cancel it for you

I love calling to cancel dish
