Need help with Dish Network Sub in Canada!

[zzap]

I got a never used 6000 with blue card and I'm in Toronto. I want to get a legit sub going and just got off the phone with smalldish.com (Can-am-sat) in BC and had a strange conversation with a women there. I told her a have a never used receiver and blue card and I wanted to activate and she just says "you can do that" I said "yes I know I need a yellow card... but if I activate won't dish send you them me a new yellow card?" she says "I can't answer that question" Then she says "Are you sure the receiver is new?" It was like she didn't want to deal with me... I then told her I wanted to activate... she tells me it will take a month! Then she went on to tell me that all there lines were down to the states and they can't do anything today... really weird talking to her... I got a bad feeling! Is there anyone better to deal with?
I really wanted a New York address so I can get the New York locals... she said they can't do that either... I'm now looking for someone in New York that can help me out... anyone out there?? I could help you with using my address for an ExpressVu sub or Star Choice if you want.

The blue Dishnet cards are pretty much useless now as all the good stuff has switched over the Nagra2 (yellow card). There was supposedly a clone sub going around at the distributor level and resellers would have to send the cards to their distributor and they would put a clone sub on it for $300.CDN. One guy got burned 'cause the sub went down after a week of him paying the 3 bills. No guaratees they say. If a crack for Nagra2 is coming out public, you will want to get a virgin Rom101 card as this is the version ROM that was hacked. I took a chance and picked up a card for $100.USD, a week later they were going for $150.USD now all sold out. Go figure. I'm waiting to see if a hack comes out 'cause i don't intend on blowing $300. to get a "as is" sub that can very well go down in a day... or less.

Oh, someone is selling a sub for DTV P4 cards but the card must start with 0008 or higher.

Good luck guys.

She is right.........

I can give you a number for somewhere that might be able to help PM me if you wish.

Getting a card from dish network even for existing customers is like pulling teeth. It will take a month to get it and that is if you are really lucky, most times it is a good 6-8 weeks and they have to call Dish back 3 times to make sure it is sent.

The reason she prolly doesn't want to deal with you is because most people don't know FOR SURE that their receiver has not EVER been used.
Dish keeps track of the cards and the recievers unlike DTV who only tracks the cards. So if your receiver has been used she has just wasted her time calling Dish to get you set up and trust me it is not a 10 min phone call. The average time to set someone up with a dish network account is about 2 hours including hold time.
