You mean this:

TiVo vs. Dish: TiVo won appeal - DBSTalk.Com

and the latest:

Makes this forum seem rather dull and non-verbal, eh? ;)


I have Dish... not too worried yet. Even considering the VIP922 with the sling capability.

Yes...that's the forum. :rofl:
Hundreds of opins, and all the DISH users are holding their collective breath, I think.

I am simply trying to replace our old DVR receiver with a Duo 625 low def unit; the marvelous DISH "customer service" department
wants to sell it to me, then charge monthly fee, and I get to pay for the idiot to come out and plug it in. (They won't let me plug it in. :rolleyes:)

I want the sumbitch free, I will pay the monthly crap charge, I don't want to do their "2 yr renewal contract", and I don't want to pay the
idiot Dish "installer" $125 to come up the mtn and plug it in.

I have not yet worn the Dish geniuses down, even by threatening to go to Direct...they act like they are working for the Communist party, circa 1955.

You should call an independent Dish reseller/store/guy.... sure, they'd like to come out, but they can pretty much do what they want as long as- in the end- the right paperwork is submitted. Find a guy who has his own truck, parts, etc and see if you can 'chat him up' (so to speak)

I am pretty particular with my work, so I wanted to self install- no wires outside the house, ground mount, conduit for the cable, in the crawl space, fish up to the media closet- then upstairs to two other TVs (fishing HDMI along with CAT5 and RG59)....and a separate antenna/receiver on the barn/shop... the guy let me help (actually he helped me except for the dish and receiver), he was fine with whatever I wanted to do- I just paid him for any time over the 2 hrs E* paid for...

Back to dbs... some very knowledgeable posters there. It may be a satellite forum, but that is a mixture of lawyers and lay folks mixing it up... interesting but long. (The last announcement of the injucntion was like 1400 posts in the thread before it was locked!! Thats posts, not views...and that was JUST the announcement of the last action! Crazy


Give a local guy a shout- just might work. He was able to match every 'deal' they had directly... And you know what? I can be 'thrifty', but at the end of it I felt good about the job and what I paid him. :)

Unlike the rare visit to a BMW dealer out of warranty:)
