No more free Roku?

[theater4fun]

Hello,

So I have been out of the country for a couple of weeks and just now found out that AMC is no longer with Dish. I just recently contacted Dish for a Roku player but the "loyalty" agent only offered me $5 off for 3 months?
So I guess the roku deal is finished? I previously had the 200 package but in Feb. I chose the welcome pack to save a few dollars and it included AMC. Now the welcome pack is almost worthless.



I told the "loyalty" agent to cancel my service and she promptly asked me what day. This made me a bit angry as I know others have gotten so much more.
So basically, I have canceled my Dish account starting the 27th of this month and thinking of going back to cable even though I hate cable.

Anyone else have the same problem with the welcome pack and amc?

In the other thread I think that the poll is currently at more people not getting the Roku. If you prefer Satellite, why not look into joining the dark side (DirecTV). I never had them, but would presume to be better than cable.

Edit: 53% not getting the Roku to 47% getting it. I was in the 47%.

If not too late, you should try again. I have the welcome pack and was able to get a Roku. I was promised one the first time I called but it never arrived, so I called again and it arrived a couple of days later.

If you had AMC, IFC, We TV, or/and Sundance Channel in your package, then it is worth a try as you were affected by the AMC Networks dispute.

@chibi,
hi, what did you say to the Rep as you had the welcome pack?

I went through 2 reps. the first one was so bad he didn't even think that AMC was on the welcome pack. he even implied that I was somehow cheating the system! after he figured out that I was right he transfered me to the loyalty rep which was quick to cancel my subscription. I was with dish before years ago and had to pull teeth to get them to cancel. that was when I was going to go to directv. I have had both in the past but I really don't want another 2 year commitment right now.
