Well if they do settle (soon) and it puts AMC back on Dish, all you folks can thank me ;). I did not feel like "waiting" any longer so Direct is here at my home (at this very moment) installing a new system. Just as well I guess because I simply through with Dish at this point anyway after of...

Well, I just "did the deed"........ Direct's new offer that just started made up my mind, their new Genie whole house HD-DVR free for new customers looks like a nice setup. This is going to allow me to save $50.00 a month with the same programming (plus AMC ;)). Looking forward to pulling the...

Granted I am only one customer, but this is my drop dead week, I intend to switch to Direct this week. I waited for Dish as long as I could, but they have left me no choice. AMC is not an obscure channel, it's mainstream and belongs in any basic cable/sate package. This situation is beyond...

Thank you

Is the HR-34 the same as the HMC? Would going with a HR-34 as one of the three HD-DVR's be worth the cost (as what would that do for me?) A couple other questions... Does anyone know if Direct installers are employees or independent contractors? Would the installer replace ALL of the Dish...

Thanks very much for the input so far, I trust/value this sort of help more than talking to a CSR (nothing against CSR's)

As the title indicates, I plan to switch from Dish to Direct and I would really appreciate unbiased input form Direct customers familiar with their HD/HD-DVR equipment. I have 3 HD tv's in 3 rooms and want HD & DVR capability for each location. Currently with Dish I have (1) 722 & (2) 622...

It's not missing the channel that's embarrassing, it's the situation that Dish has created. As far as I am concerned, when companies like Dish and content providers like AMC behave like these two have and leave their customers in a situation like this they should be embarrassed. I had no idea...

LOL.... Ever hear of "for illustration purposes" ?

Let Dish offer AMC as a "premium" A la carte, sort of thing then... Customers who want the channel can pay for it. I just don't appreciate having a what many/most would consider a mainstream channel being taken away from me. My only recourse unfortunately is to switch providers, and even under...

I for one an NOT impressed, and hate being forced to leave Dish after more than 10 years. It's a major pain dealing with switching providers, and I really don't appreciate being put into this position. I was a loyal customer, but Dish has really gone to far this time. In my opinion, a few...

????????? I thought I was being extremely conservative to apply $140 per month when looking out on a 30 year horizon. I pay a little over 100 a month now and have been with DISH for over a decade, inflation alone should bring up the number. Being a rural household, I could easily see using...

I honestly think that Dish is underestimating how furious a lot of long time customers are becoming over these childish shenanigans. When I am forced to cancel and go to Direct, my "word of mouth" will extend to many, many others for the rest of my life. By my estimation DISH stands to lose...

I am a 10 year plus, loyal customer running 3 HD receivers.... If Dish drops AMC I will be switching to Direct, and when/if it happens Dish will have a clear understanding concerning my dissatisfaction.

It's not setup that way..... The drive space is not partitioned, you either "fill it up" with 55 hd hours or an equivalent amount of sd hours... Just record something and notice that both types of available hour decrease no matter which type of recording you made.
