I am also extremely upset that Dish is not carrying the Olympics in 3D. I am seriously looking at changing to DirecTV or Comcast due to the AMC issue and this 3D issue. I'm getting really tired of Dish being so much of a rebel that I'm willing to pay my early termination fee just to have a company that doesn't have the attitude that Charlie does. It seems the subscribers are always the ones that get the short straw when it comes to Charlie and his short sighted decisions. The reason that the CSRs are telling callers that they don't have the bandwidth to carry the Olympics in 3D after just taking away the AMC and associated channels is just an insult to our intelligence and common sense. After all, the Olympics are only on for 17 days, so there's no long commitment that might impact other channels in the future.
Other than one year that I changed to Comcast about 4-5 years ago because Dish didn't carry NBC-HD in Indy (all other major locals had been in HD for well over 6 months), I've been a Dish customer for 14-15 years. The first receiver I can remember was the 4000 receiver, but there may have been one before that model. I am currently an AEP subscriber, with 2 722K receivers and Charlie's attitude has pushed me to my limits.
