Re: Switching To DISH
still learning .... I was confused by the names given to several of their components .... early on some Big Wig at DISH went to Australia and really like it .... their Wally is a regular receiver, it cannot record programs .... their Hopper is a DVR .... their Joey is a wireless receiver that allows you to connect multiple TV to a Hopper
the only Wally (receiver) they offer for an RV can't record programs .... BUT they do have an external drive (similar to that used with computers) that can be plugged into the Wally .... they charge $100 for a Wally and $100 for the external drive
I need another cup of coffee ...

Re: Switching To DISH
I spoke to DISH this morning to upgrade our system. To upgrade to a Hopper 3 from a Hopper 2 is a $100.00 one time fee which when I said I was a Vet and a Senior the lady cut in half to $50.00. They will come install it Monday morning. That's pretty quick.
Our bill will increase by $3.00 a month is all.
We will get the Hooper 3 and a new Joey. The Hopper 3 has much more DVR capability that the 2, and we also get a voice activated remote.
The lady was very nice.
We have been with Dish for 18 years now.

Re: Switching To DISH
They've had that offer on the table for a long time. If your friends choose to sign up tell them you recommended Dish to them.
Tell Dish that.

Re: Switching To DISH
one of several reasons I don't like to stay in motels when we are away from home or use park cable when we are in a campground is by the time if figure out the TV channel numbers we are moving on .... we've been with Direct for so long that remembering the numbers of the channels we use is pretty much automatic .... wonder how long it will take for me to get used to the numbers used by DISH .

Re: Switching To DISH
I've had Dish almost since they started up. Really like their DVR and Guide but am probably going to switch to strictly streaming services soon, will save close to $100 a month. I get my internet from a local ISP on a PUD provided fiber system, $50 a month for 100 Mbps down, 10 Mbps up. No land line for phone, have gone to cell phone only.fortyshooter wrote: ↑Sat Sep 07, 2019 1:08 pmSo you folks on Dish TV....from whom do you get your internet service?
