    Best(i.e. cheapest) way to have 6 TV DVR service now?

    Ok...I'll keep that all in mind. I did a quick Ebay check.....will see what those Roamios are going for. And Minis too....so with your setup, you don't need cards? Seemed cable tv used to be so simple:)

    Not sure how you quote here now.....mdavej.....I'd love to hear more about how you do that...what exact TIVO equipment....can you PM me? I do also know I read where you can have issues, with the cable techs, as they won't know anything about the cards.

    Best(i.e. cheapest) way to have 6 TV DVR service now?

    Thanks for all the replies. I tried to select email notification of replies, but didn't get any.....didn't think I had any replies yet! Just checked and yowza. Anyhow, Tampa 8......as I stated in my initial post, I finally got fed up due to the huge increase in extra box fees. Just like...

    Best(i.e. cheapest) way to have 6 TV DVR service now?

    I had Dish for years. Finally bailed due to their excessive extra box fees(722s, I think). But, I hate Charter(already knew I did and would), more. I know that even though they had the glorious Hopper, years ago, when I set up service at our new house, I opted for regular receivers. I...

    Not getting equal space back when deleting DVR recordings

    I've Googled this, and get zippo.....not even sure how I'd search for it here...but I've noticed for a long time, when I delete recordings....I admit only HD, as that's the portion of the DVR that's seemingly always strapped for space.....I get maybe 2/3 space returned....maybe less. In other...

    Is there way to keep my 622 DVR content.....

    Did the Hopper change, in the last year or two? I read of all sorts of unhappy customers, because they'd set one TV to DVR, but then realized, they couldn't watch two shows now, like you used to with dual tuner boxes. So, let's say we have 4 people watching TV on 4 different TVs, and if you...

    Is there way to keep my 622 DVR content.....

    My toughts are I just might keep with the 722(oops, that's what I meant). Maybe have two 722s, and one non DVR dual tuner. Although,I despised Dish when they jacked up their additional box rates, way back when. Is it still $14 for a dual tuner box fee? Outrageous. But, still might have to...

    Is there way to keep my 622 DVR content.....

    Well, drats.....and that's way more than I want to spend on cable, for that many tvs.....a lot of stuff the Hopper gives I could care less about, other than the HD. Wondering if the old 3 box set up might be more to our liking.

    Is there way to keep my 622 DVR content.....

    So, I would need to keep service in my name, then? Or, I have no chance to keep my DVR content? Maybe I'll have to chat or call them, and say I want to keep them, but my bill is too high, so I'm considering other options:) I know it works for others.

    Is there way to keep my 622 DVR content.....

    Forgive if this is a question long ago answered. But, moving, and I'm thinking putting the Dish service in my fiance's name at the new house would net us a better deal....rather than the Dish Moving service.....don't like the amount I'm paying these days. However, I certainly would like to...

    Is there still a market for sw 44 multiswitch kits?

    Yeah, kind of wondered, as I think that's what ended up happening for me. Somehow I bought it, and ended up not needing it. I suppose I could throw it on Ebay and undercut all the others:) Just in case someone's looking. Unless someone here wants it cheap.

    Is there still a market for sw 44 multiswitch kits?

    Been so long now, can't remember why I stupidly bought this off Ebay, but I never used it(it's stuck somewhere in my vague memory from like 6 years ago). Moved, and it got hidden away in a box. Have a SW 44, Inverter and another box looks like power supply, etc. Never taken out of boxes, let...

    Dish Anyhwere problems loading, anyone else?

    I've only tried this twice, when on vacations....last year, and again this last weekend. Both times, it hangs up forever, when loading my box/DVR. I just give up, after like a half hour of this. So, basically, it's useless to me. I see others loving it, so wondered, what the heck?

    MLB Network no Alternate

    Glad I found this thread....I'm in MI also.....don't think I have the OP's problem, but have been mystified at times, like today, when the Marlins/Phillies game was coming on....wanted to watch that on MLB channel, and suddenly, blackout. WTH? MI is nowhere near Philly!!! I see now the...

    DISH Drops AMC Networks (AMC Back on DISH channel 131)

    Not to mention, I'm paying way too much for high speed net, now, also, and can get a reasonable bundle offer with Charter. I can't get a good DSL signal in my area, for some odd reason, so am stuck with either Uverse, which I'm using, or Charter. So, that's a big factor, too. I don't care...

    DISH Drops AMC Networks (AMC Back on DISH channel 131)

    Well, I still pay my $8 Netflix for snail mail disks, so I can get my three shows I watch on AMC that way. But, I've been eyeing this for awhile and this has been one shoddy business practice for customers. I'm starting to think, no matter what they do, it'll be Charter for me, once my...

    Signal loss

    Not to hijack another's thread, but it fits exactly......in the last week.......I am losing signal on HD channels, only. Off the top of my head, if only because they are the ones I frequently go to.....Golf Channel(401), MLB Network(153), ESPN 2(143). So, without fully investigating, I am...

    MLB network

    I'm confused suddenly. I've had zero problems with MLBN and have been watching it all the time:) Suddenly, tonight, the Phillies-Brewers game is blacked out here in eastern MI. Is that due to the MLB's crazy regional blackout stupidity? First game I've seen blacked out, and it makes zero sense.

    MLB network

    I understand blackout rules, and I think I'd get the Red Sox-Rangers game tonight, as here in Michigan, we'll have the Tigers game locally. But, if the Tiger game was the primary game, what channel is the alternate game on? I might have missed that in the 10 pages of posts since yesterday:)

    MLB network

    Wow! I posted on 8/31, as I had learned Charter finally signed with the NFL, so was seriously looking at jumping ship. Then, I just got an email two hours ago, telling me Dish signed on with MLB! We did a happy dance in this house. As others have said, if you are a baseball person, this...

    MLB network

    I see nothing has changed and this great channel for us baseball fans isn't coming to Dish anytime soon. I got to checking as I heard that my local cable alternative, Charter, finally came to agreement with the NFL. That's the only reason I went back to Dish. I bit the bullet, as the Redzone...

    What happened to non-HD channels on main HD TV?

    Thanks immensely, fellow Michigander! I have been much frustrated with this. Now, if I could just get the MLB channel, life would be grand......sigh.

    What happened to non-HD channels on main HD TV?

    Dish always had both the HD and non HD channels. All the non HD channels disappeared off my main, HD, TV, oh....maybe a month ago....Most important to me was the Weather Channel, as historically, one of the biggest drawbacks for Dish/DTV was no Locals on the 8 on TWC. However, Dish's...

    Well, I cancelled Dish

    This is just pure craziness. Anyone who defends Dish for these fees is nuts, or an employee. I have a HD duo reciever, and two other regular duo receivers. I went with Dish a few years ago now, for the main reason that they were able to do my house better than DirectTV, with the duo...

    Pricing Update from Dish Network

    The vast majority of it is the extra receivers. We have a lot of TVs, so Dish worked great for us. One HD DVR and two regular duo receivers. So, that added $18 right there. Haven't analzyed the rest. It matters not, $105 is way too expensive for cable, for me.
