    New install - locals missing after software update

    Thanks for all the tips. Not sure what happened but they inexplicably showed back up a couple hours later. Maybe they did something, maybe the receiver just needed a little time to adjust to its new home. :confused: At any rate, everyone is happy now and we're enjoying the new setup. Thanks again!

    New install - locals missing after software update

    Thanks for the advice. Not looking forward to any more time on the phone so I guess I'll just sit tight and let the tech come back in the morning. I'm sure the wife will be ok without Grey's for one night. ;)

    New install - locals missing after software update

    Signals on both the 99(c) and 103(ca/cb) are in the mid-90s.

    New install - locals missing after software update

    Zip code is 93614. Fresno-Visalia, CA market. Locals are supposed to be in HD. The operator had me check the signal on the 119 satellite when I called in, so I assumed that's where they were. Like I said the interesting thing is that they still come in fine on the second receiver. Not sure...

    New install - locals missing after software update

    Just switched from E* to D* today and the install went great. HR24, H24, MRV, broadband connection, etc. Everything was working great and the installer mentioned that the receiver will probably get a software update sometime in the next day or so and to let it do its thing. Not 5 minutes after...

    New install - would you insist on an HR24?

    Yes, I see that and I appreciate you taking the time to point it out because it made me consider a side of the issue I hadn't thought of before. That seems to be the general consensus, and I think it makes sense. Thanks again.

    New install - would you insist on an HR24?

    I appreciate your opinion and that of everyone else that has shared. I definitely see the perspective of the installer and think that's certainly something to be considered. That said, the general sentiment and opinion expressed in your posts and signature is pretty one-sided. Yes, it's...

    New install - would you insist on an HR24?

    I apologize if this has been asked a billion times. I've been searching/reading and trying to discern the differences between all the HR2X series hardware and preparing for my new installation next week (two TVs, MRV, broadband connection, etc). I understand D* doesn't guarantee any specific...

    Losing HD Absolute. Any suggestions?

    The last package she offered for $14.99/mo was called the "Dish Welcome Package" I believe. Basically just your locals and 10-15 other channels. She offered to tell me what those "other channels" were but I cut her off and told her I wasn't interested.

    Losing HD Absolute. Any suggestions?

    I'm certainly not going to lose sleep over it. These companies came up with the business model and I'm not going to feel bad for using it to my advantage. If after two years is up some other company is offering a better deal then I'm not gonna hesitate for a minute to switch again. Don't get me...

    Losing HD Absolute. Any suggestions?

    It's done, just got off the phone with Dish. They reiterated the standard offers in the letter and worked their way down the script to cheaper and cheaper packages until they got to the $14.99/mo Please Please Please Don't Leave Poor Person Package. I politely declined all of them and let them...

    Losing HD Absolute. Any suggestions?

    I've had Absolute since the very beginning and I'm disappointed to see this day come even though I figured it was inevitable at some point. I'm more disappointed with the way Dish has chosen to handle the transition. We've thought about it for the past week or so and decided like many others...

    HD Absolute + "Dish mover"?

    Yes, that would be it. At any rate, thanks for the suggestion. I used the online chat and had a CSR add the DHPP to my account. I plan on calling in a couple days to schedule the move. Will be nice getting it done without having to extend the contract again. -N

    HD Absolute + "Dish mover"?

    Interesting... I'll look into that. Thanks!

    HD Absolute + "Dish mover"?

    Hi guys, here's the deal. I have had the HD Absolute package for awhile now and absolutely (pun intended) do not want to give it up. Unfortunately I need to move, and was looking into the "dish mover" service. We're just moving down the street, same zip code, same locals, etc. But every time...

    HD Absolute - how long?

    +33. If I end up getting to keep Comedy Central after this whole mess shakes out, I'll have everything I need. They'll have to pry the remote from my cold dead hands.
