have to agree with you..........Dish seems to have more disputes than any other provider, & more channels disappear, yet no reduction in our bills. I too am very concerned about the loss of these channels + the AMC fiasco.
Seems like when someone posts these kinds of messages, all the responses are about making fun of spelling, or that Dish isn't forcing them to be a customer, instead of the real problem, which is programming problems.
Go write a nice letter to the attorney general and I bet you can get your cancellation fee refunded
Dish is so afraid of the attorney generals right now, they side with the customer every time
I can only imagine his letter to the AG:
(That actually took me about 4 times as long as it would have just to type it properly...)
I just switched to Uverse, primarily for the wireless receivers. Bought an old house with plaster walls. i didn't want to run cables everywhere. Besides the sling adapter never working correctly, Dish has been pretty good for the last 10 years.
Did you know that DISH has wireless receivers? Yup! Insert most any USB wireless adapter in a DISH Joey Unit and you now have a wireless DISH receiver.
Works well too!

Really Scott? So if you plugged in the usb wireless adapter to the Joey, it would work with the hopper in the other room in hd without interference? Can you explain a little on this one. My parents would love it if they could do this with a hopper and joey in the bedroom ,without running coaxes. My dad simply won't allow more than one coax leading into the house at a time and does not want to run any more coax inside the house either.
Scott, I read that on previous posts, however you and others have said that it's not supported by Dish and may be changed on a future software update. So I got nervous. Also, using a Joey with wireless USB uses the WiFi channels, Uverse uses a WAP to keep it separate. I still have my receivers and am still on $5/month hold.
I'm not sure about any old USB adapter working with the Joeys but yes it is true that the Joeys can work via wireless without flaws (I've been doing it for 4 months now with the 2nd Joey.) As for the issues sharing Wi-Fi you could always get another AP. I have mine on the same AP as everything else since with wireless-N there is no issue with bandwidth. Granted just like any other wireless device of this type you need to have good signal strength (anything over a 25 SNR is fine.) I have two fairly large directional antennas that cover the entire house with ease.
Don't get me started on how much I dislike U-verse. Everything from their limited/slow DVR to the fact that watching TV slows down the Internet to the fact that their "HD" is sub-par...

We did a beta test with DISH and the tests went well.
The feature is not going to be removed. Dont be surprised if DISH offers better USB WIFI adapters in the future.

So what you are telling me is that I can put a flat screen out on the patio with out running wire, hook up the Joey, add a USB adapter, and wham bam thank you Scott, I now can watch sports while BBQ ing the ribs!
Sweet!!
Thanks Scott.

Ack! Some valuable information is to be found in this post after all! Any way to strip it out into a separate post? The use of the wireless adapters was something I have been curious about for a while.
