Bye Bye to 2nd Receivers?

[Dish_Dan]

- Someone just told me that DiSH is systematically going through their subscriber base and turning off 2nd receivers if they're not plugged in.
- I'm a DiSH subscriber since 1997 and have never plugged in either of my receivers. I just pay the $5.99/mo. charge for the 2nd unit.
- I was considering swapping out my oldest receiver for a new PVR one, but I don't want my account flagged and my 2nd receiver cut-off.
- Is it true that DiSH is now allowing only one receiver per account?
- Anybody out there who has successfully added a 2nd receiver or swapped a new one into a multi-receiver account lately?

Never listen to rumors.

I highly doubt DISH would be dumb enough to not allow 2nd receivers. That would be the end for them.

And on my trip to the mountains last weekend to look for BigFoot, I saw the LocNess Monster in a lake near Vail.

I think the word systematic is the key here. After having dealt with the audit team I can honestly say there is no system to the madness.


I think though that they are only targeting multiple receiver account with 3 or more receivers and in general are only getting people with multiple dwelling setups. But I do know a couple of legitimate customers that got nailed just because they were not fast enough on the draw when answering questions to the Audit Team.

I got my audit call the other day.

I have 2 recievers, a 522 and a 625 both plugged into phone lines since March
apparently one of them phoned home and since my cell phone is the one on the account and it used the house phone, that I never use, they called. took 8 months to notice the number was different. Talk about on the ball. The call went rather smoothly, took about 5 minutes to do and the guy was very nice about it.

If they give you problems then switch to Directv. They do not pull these stunts like Dish Network does.

When are they going to activate the E-net ports so that the ViP receivers can "phone home" via IP?

Don't believe everything that Comcast tells you ...

I won't beleive it. I have had a 322 for about two months now, added a second one Tuesday. I think if they were not allowing them any longer, they would not have activated it. Got it from the DishStore.
