**Hemi 6.1** · 11-27-2009 10:13 AM

I had D* for a Total of 8 years. I got Dish Network in July 2007.
I couldn't be more happy with the excisting customer treatment over Directv.
I spend about $14 less per month then I did with D* , Even after E* price increase.
I got mutch better equipment, Overall channel lineup.
I've goten more free equipment,programming and yearly credits in 30 months with E* then 8 years with D* Best thing about the free stuff, is E* offers it , You don't have to fight for it.

Thanks

I was given the 722k because I was hooking up 2 tvs. That's my guess. Not sure about the pic quality, but I would think no difference.

Thats exactly why.
For a one room HD DVR hook up you'll get a VIP 612. If you want a 722k , That would be considered an upgrade.
If you want 2 rooms of service , I don't see why E* wouldn't just give you a 722k. But remember 722k is 2 rooms of DVR , but only 1 room is HD.
PQ between the HD receivers are the same.

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.

Well if they are not making money on me is that my fault?.All they have to do is have longer commitments if they are not making money the way it is.

So boo hoo oh woe is me if these companies don't want my business all they have to do is when I call up is turn me down.I don't have a gun to their heads.

These companies prey on customer's being loyal then they think they can use them then abuse them.

No more in this holdhold you want my loyalty for 2 maybe 3 years? then show me the money! or I will go elsewhere with someone who does.

It's really simple. If a company can't make money it goes out of business. If everyone had your attitude we'd be back in the 19th century....

This is the exact reason that there is now a 2 yr commitment. That gives them just enuff time to balance out the equipment pay back.
