    As I said, my contract is NOT up until the end of October. I have OTHER people in my house to consider. MY cut off is right after Christmas since I'm the one footing the cost. I have NO interest in either Disney or HBO. Disney can pound sand for various reasons. Every time I search for a...

    I could post links to Dish's problems, but it would be more beneficial if you just queried "why is Dish losing customers?" You can choose many articles including "Forbes" and "Reuters". Losing a half million subs in 2023 first quarter is no small thing. I've been with Dish for 13 years, and as a...

    I'd rather sit through a couple of commercials on freevee, Tubi, paramount+, etc. than scroll through what seems like endless infomercials, especially late night. Has anyone ever counted the channels they don't watch? I tried once, but half way through I became too irritated to finish. Add to...

    If you are referring to Roku, switching from one app to the next is like switching channels [for me] I've set up my Roku guide in sections. News, Movies, live TV, music , etc.. very easy. Most programs have anywhere from One [ yes, one] up to three commercials. That's it. I can deal with that...

    possibly. I didn't notice it. At least it had descriptions and actors even if it was limited.

    Call Dish CSR. My gripe is I lost 2 in February when Dish got hacked. They refused to re-instate both. I noticed today when looking at available PPV's The format has changed [for the worse ] Description of movies is VERY limited, and actor's names are eliminated. Is Dish kidding? Who...

    Had same issue, plus some others. Hard re-boot worked for quite awhile. [ Yes, CSR Tech support said "never heard of "error 00-00-00" ] Finally did a factory reset. Did the trick. Downside is re-doing your favorites list. you may also have re-do a couple of simple settings. cheers...

    Just talked to Dish CSR and was told weather interactive channel was changed [ no data] by the weather channel NOT Dish. There goes another station.

    Looking at your example [ 322 & 311] I see you absolutely "get it". Thanks for that.

    OK, but are you saying [ DVR aside ] that a wally and a 222k will work on the same system? I was told by a installer the vip's would not work on the newer system required for the hopper family. So, which is it? Can I use my 222k for my 2 tv's upstairs, and a wally in my living room?:confused:

    A. What "other" receivers are you talking about? B. Try reading my post again. Does it read that I was "Fishing"?? I merely stated when I called Dish for information about my account, the "automated" voice recognized my phone number and proceeded with the "upgrade" spiel. I'm sure other subs...

    Had the same issue, and I wanted to keep my pole mount for snow issues. Service guy came out, said good news and bad news. You lost your west arc, but I'll re-position it for eastern arc which meant I had to install my own antenna for locals. It worked out.
  15. General DISH™ Discussion
    Well, "before the hack" anytime I called dish I was always offered a "free" upgrade. When I asked a CSR how much it would be for the same set up that I currently have, [ 1 dual tuner, and a single tuner to service three tv's, NO dvr, Never had one, don't need it] It would cost me more dough...

    Odd. I had a 1000.2 dish when I was on the western arc. A tree finally got me:( so I had to go with Eastern arc. Installer insisted I had to have a [ black] regular dish. Now I'm reading here that I could have kept the 1000.2 in service, I just needed a eastern arc LNB. 1000.2 dish is safely...

    Anyone get their paper statement yet? I'm considering PayPal now since there is little info from Dish. [ good tip from NY Dutch] Been trying every day [ twice a day to get through to a "body" to pay my bill] since last week.

    Any super knowledgeable computer people out there? Could this attack come from a work-from-home set up, and consequentially affect the main system? Could this also be the result of too many phone reps being located out of the country, resulting as an easy port of entry? Your opinion.

    Ever hear the saying "All roads lead to Rome"? In this case, all phone numbers lead to " please call back again"o_O
  20. General DISH™ Discussion
    I believe my post is legit. If subs are NOT worried about their personal and financial info, that's on them. Ask anyone whose info was compromised how much fun they had untangling that mess. Minimal info is an understatement. I stand by what I posted. What I will say at this point is my service...
