    13+ year Dish customer moved to cable TV yesterday. Won't get into the details of the savings, but wanted to let others know that I was going to keep basic Dish active for a couple weeks, and when I went online to REMOVE all my premium channels, I was prompted to keep them for a heavy discount -...

    After 13 years, I've scheduled cable to come into my home. I'm happy with my Hoppers and Dish, but the prices are just too high. I've never been happy paying $24.00 a month to use my own DVR's and with cable, I can use my own hardware (TIVO) and the cablecard is $4.00 a month. NO EQUIPMENT FEES...

    No biggie.. Another channel blocked. But at some point with over 13 years as a Dish customer, I'm going to call it quits. Can only handle "taking out the trash" so much.

    Blowgun is correct. I was wanting to know IF I would get a better signal with a different LNB. I don't expect a different LNB to stop the rain fade issue, just wondering if anyone checked the signal strength before and after the LNB change. It's different hardware and I think it's reasonable to...

    Wondering if the new hybrid LNB would help with my rain outages. Anyone check the before and after signal levels?

    THANKS.. More questions....... 1) Does the Joey 2 have a UHF remote? I cannot even find a manual on line.. I can for the K4Joey. Today, I mirror my 2nd Hopper to another room on the other side of my house. I ran an extra Coax wire to handle the UHF antenna. For me to make the move, I would need...

    I want to dump my 2 Hopper 2's and move to a Hopper 3 and a Joey. Questions: Does the Hopper 3 have RCA outputs? I run this to a remote TV today. I live in NC... Will I need a new LNB? I have ethernet everywhere in my house, but I think the Basic Joey needs a coax to connect to the Hopper 3...

    Think the price increases are over for this year? Just wait a few months.... Dish will raise hardware/device fees around June.

    Another channel I never watched.... Still waiting for ala carte.

    Dish did the same to me... A simple call to them and they removed the charge. I think they do it just to see if they can get the $$$$

    Local cable company only charges $3.00 per month for a cable card to use in my own equipment, With my own equipment, local cable is cheaper than Dish. Dish programming is less, the but equipment fee's are higher. The last time I was going to cancel Dish, they matched the cable company's price to...

    I also buy my own cell phones and my service provider keeps them up to date with the needed firmware updates and they do NOT charge me for this service. If I have service issues, they also help for free.

    Where did I say that I purchased these devices? Dish GAVE me 2 Hoppers for being a 9 year customer and I wanted 2 hoppers with Sling and did not want to sign a 2 year agreement, so they gave me 2. Are you leasing when you could have got the hardware for free? If/When I leave Dish, I can sell my...

    Other than greed, why does DISH charge me the same fee for my non leased Hopper as a leased one? My local cable company will credit me if I use my own equipment. My "discounts" end in July and if Dish raises my monthly fees back to $150.00 from $82.00 today, I will drop them and move on to my...

    Did a Google search and came up with nothing. Where is the "approved" HD list?

    Another factor is what equipment you have running on your local network. Each device can add to your network load and affect your Slings performance. I have 21-23 ip devices running and my ISP is 3Mbps up and 60 Mbps down. Zero issues with Sling. Note: This is the SLOWEST connection my ISP...

    I used the Dish CEO email and they called me back in less then 30 min.... Again, be nice in your email and they have the ability to fix your problem. ceo@dishnetwork.com I also agree that no one is probably looking into this issue. It was working and it quit. Seems easy to determine the...

    Dish replaced both my Hoppers with Hoppers/with sling. Problem solved. No commitment and no added cost. Just asked nicely... On a side note... The Hopper 2 is light years faster than the Hopper 1. 720kb vs. 2GB of memory helps. The guide is faster and the 30 fast forward is really quick.
