Thanks for all the info. I appreciate it. ZandarKoad- It was an employee of dishnetwork I assume since I signed up on their main website. I was under the impression that we have 30 days to decide whether or not we want to keep it, with full money back. RandallA- Thanks, I will try that.

The local office closed at 5pm. But I am going to call and tell them to please fix it Friday. If they dont come until Monday, it is going to be 3 against one in keeping Dish.

Just wondering if anyone has any ideas as to why/how my newly installed service went dead. Got it working fine this afternoon, watched for 30 minutes or so, came back around 5pm and got the searching for signal message on all 4 tv's. Called customer service, did the reboot, did the switch test...

Thanks for the info pdxsam. I don't completely understand the dns disconnects thing. Does this mean that if I live in Montana and dish network provides me with a NY network, like YES, for example, it will be a no go come September?

I am just now signing up with dishnetwork. Is now not the best time to be doing that? Bad idea? Should I back out?

How is this Referral thing such a good deal. Is there no contract to sign? If I go to dishnetwork.com and sign up, they give me $50 back also, I just have to sign a 18 month contract. So what am I missing here?
