HOW MANY OF YOU HAVE CHANGED OVER TO THE DISH FROM DTV?

Highgear, just for future reference, and not to cause any confusion, D*= Directv. DTV= Digital Television (OTA).

It is almost a year for me since I switched to Dish from Direct after almost ten years with Direct. I enjoy the progaming choices, the ability to have two tv's with one reciver especially that being DVR features. I enjoy the HD channels. I thought it this year it would be real hard without the Ticket, its been easy

I go with who has the best deal and programming for me right now that's standard definition programming.

This year it was Dish in 3 more years it could be DirecTV again.I keep all my Dish and DirecTV dishes on my house just in case.

So Dish and DirecTV take notice I subscribe to the Everything pak so how bad do you want my business?.I'll be watching.

As far as Charlie is concerned, he probably doesn't want your business because it is costing him too much money for you to leave so quickly, then come back getting all the freebies. Both Dish and Direc TV spend a ton of $$ to get you, and they do their best to keep you, but you're exactly the kind of subscriber who keeps Charlie's (and Direc TV and al the MSO's) cost of acquisition sky-high. So, it really is smart of them to NOT want your business. It is a hard concept to accept, but not every customer is truly a big money maker for a service, especially if they don't stay around long enough for the company to realize the full economies of your subscription. And no, they aren't looking to make the loose change on you, even at the AEP, if you leave by the end of 3 years.

I switched over 2 yrs ago. They wanted too much to upgrade to the Hd receivers. Took forever or least seems to get my mailing address right so I could return the receiver. Had been with dish before in the mid 90s. Forget why I switched to directv in the first place. Love their dvr.

I switched in Oct and so glad I did! I love the 722k and the programming was the kicker. I'm not a sports fan, so I had no reason to stay with D*.

No real data to back this up, but maybe I am just seeing this becouse I have jumped to the other side, but it seems within the last six months more have jumped from Direct to Dish, again no scentific data just an obervation.

How does one go about getting (new customer) the 722K? I was told that I would be getting a 600 model. I only have one TV at the moment, could this be the reason? Would there be any picture quality difference between the two models?

Thanks
