Dish Network Greeting

[larrykenney]

I was pleasantly surprised to see a one minute Christmas greeting from Dish in my list of recorded shows yesterday. "We Dish you a Merry Christmas"... rather cute, I thought.

How do they set it up so that everyone gets a feed like that? I certainly didn't mark it for recording.

Sat. Timers.

They beam the timer down via satellite. I skipped mine. lol. Saw the "DISH you a Merry Christmas" commercial though, I liked it .

I liked it too.. Untill the 3rd time I had to delete it.. Once was enough Charlie... Stop sending it.

We DISH you a Merry Christmas and a PRICE HIKE next year!

I saw enough of it last year to last me a while.

I thought that it was pretty cool. I liked the fact that they had the guts to say 'Merry Christmas' instead of the generic 'Happy Holidays' that seems to be the norm these days.

That got sickening the first time I heard and saw it. Ranks right up there with irritating insurance co ads.

Just skip it... Then it won't come back.

Well, I gotta believe it's gonna come back. But, then again, that doesn't mean you have to watch it...

Hmm? In my experience, if I delete the timer they beamed down, then yeah it comes back. However, if I just skip the events that the timer sets, then it doesn't record anything, and the timer eventually goes away on it's own. Also figured out it doesn't affect the 96-timer limit. At one point I had 97 timers, because of that sat. timer they beamed down. I'm not sure though if you have to delete it to add timer #96, because I already had 96 timers and it beamed down #97.

Yeah, it doesn't stop future timers from beaming down, but it will at least stop that same timer from re-appearing every time you delete it.
