Wish I would have added a 3rd reciever before they switched everything. I like the package I have now, and can't get it anymore. Not sure it is a good idea to make any changes to my account.

When I called them to see about adding the Multi sports package, which includes Fox. Not sure whether that's what your talking about? But they told me I had to have a minimum of one of? the bronze packages.

OK I'll bite, swapping these puppies out for what? What are you talking about :confused:

Call Dish direct and tell them, they should be able to find you a installer that will do what you want. The welcome is a small package, but good channels much better than that Family package.

About $10 is the minimum. That's for the welcome pack. Or locals only I think adds up to $10 also. Turn on the welcome pack and bring the reciver home with you and use it. It actually has a few decent channels IMO.

Just a FYI ....Another thing about PPV I don't understand why it happens, but noticed...... First PPV I bought was on 3 different "500" channels, with different start times. I just picked one and got all 3 for the full day. Second PP I bought was on channel 103, and on 3 "500" channels. I...

I don't know the answer, I just added another PPV. And it would only let me pay the 4.99. So there will probably be a .50 balance on there in a couple days I'm guessing. Maybe I won't be able to pay it til next months payment? Learn as you go I guess

Tried PPV and works pretty well. Movie came up instantly after paying with CC online. 3 days later though they added state tax to my account. So now have to go back and pay another .25, probably just wait until I want to see another one this weekend. I like it.

If you leave your receiver hooked up can you watch the Free preview channels ? I always left mine hooked up with Dishnow, and checked what was on as a free preview. Even when I didn't have anything paid for.

If your buying your own equipment.. Can't you turn on whatever you want without doing a contract anyway? Just say no to the promotions. Flex works for me cause I want the minimum channels. If I was getting a regular package, I probably wouldn't bother with a prepay program. All I have are...

$200? I don't think that is right, the $150 is supposed to cover it. Or most of it. Im pretty sure someone above a few posts, called Dish directly and they arranged the install.

Not to be rude or anything :confused: But you waited nearly a year to make your first post..... And then decided to do it answering a post that has 11 pages of answers and disussion. That's kinda funny. :D Anway, I think the new prepay is going work well for me too.

It's called "flex" and they can still get in if they can find a somewheree to sell it to them. For the $149 equip and set-up charge It's just that those of us that already had Dishnow, we have the equip and are setup so we just call in to switch over.

peano "So.......there is no need to have a phone line connected with Flex for any reason unless you have a dual tuner. " ^^^I agree ^^^ When I said I was being billed earlier, it was based on what I saw logging online.... But now recieved my paper statement, the payment is due a few days...

I didn't hear it. It is how my 2 - 301's are working both on my single account, the phone number I used when I set up my account was my cell phone. Mine are not now and never have been plugged into phone lines. I only know what I am using.... nothing else. ( Is yours clicking because you...

You don't need a landline for 1 or 2 recievers, at least not 301's. I have 2 running and no number was given, or plugged into either receiver. I don't know about 3 recievers or the other models though. They are billing me early also :(

Misinformation seems to be what prepay/dishnow/flex is all about. :D Everyone is/was being told different things even when calling them. IMO, It's definately not for impatience people, gotta be willing to go with the flow.

No idea FWIW.... I did try to turn on the sports package online. I now have just the welcome package with locals. It said nope can't do it, I had to upgrade first. Sooo I'm not sure if the welcome package counts as a real package? The more I learn about flex, the less excited about it I am.

If it was me, I'd go online and turn yours to locals only when it's time to leave. Then see if a credit shows up on your account. There were a number of things they didn't know Shaaat about until they put it into the computer. They were friendly but dumber than a box of rocks as far as this...

Geeze what a crock, they DEFINATELY told me if I shut it off early I'd get credit. :rant: Wait, wait, let's not get too worked up yet. The back of the paper statement says...... "Partial Month Charges and Credits Any changes you make to your service/programing in the middle of your billing...

Mine does not say "flex" either.

According to what jakesnakemd was told it's $5 a month to go inactive. See 2 posts up I don't want to change mine yet. I like what I have on, let someone experiment first. :D

As I understand it it, you should be able to... Just go online switch one of the recievers to a cheap package like local $10 a month and turn the second one off. Should then have a credit on your account. Then bump them back up to whatever you want when your heading back up there.

Why connect a phone at all? that's now how this system works is it?

They take it after your setup for sure, I see it listed as a payment option. During setup I didn't ask, but figure it's probably fine. Have a CC ready just in case. Even a visa/gift CC would work.
