    IFC contradiction

    Their program director is Eric Blair. War is Peace. Hate is love. Despair is hope. Turmoil is change. Editing is unmodified. It's all very 1984 doncha know.

    50% OFF Prepaid Option

    Coincidently I spoke with an Accounts Specialist last week and they claim no such prepay options exist anymore. This was also confirmed by a DIRT member here. Sounds like phising! OR...maybe it's really 50% off a ROKU!

    Dish: The "90%" company - Who cares if the other 10% is the most important?

    Lets' see...maybe the 90% can pitch tents and OCCUPY Englewood, Colorado and the various Dish uplink sites in protest about the unfairness of the 10%!

    Anyone noticed that getting Blockbuster disks at home has suddenly slowed to a crawl?

    BB by mail can be problematic and very inconsistent. However, I find biting off an email via the BB webite resolves the issue quickly. It's a waste of time calling BB or Dish or your storefront. They always pass off the glitches to software issues. Last week I turned around 4 movies in eight...

    How about listing the full channel name in the info?

    Ergan On C-SPAN @ 9 pm EDT Tonight

    It WAS interesting. Especially his discussion on his gambling experiences. His risk taking, bluffing and raising the ante tactics in poker and Black Jack explains alot about his approach to lawsuits and dealing with competitors and precieved "enemies".

    11 ClubDish Referrals in 02/12, $0 Credit

    That’s like referring someone to a diner and it being my responsibility that the meal tastes good. It’s a Dish promotion not my promotion. If they truly wanted this to work and benefit the person making the referral Dish could make the process and “promo” user friendly and transparent so that it...

    11 ClubDish Referrals in 02/12, $0 Credit

    Ten years ago when I first subbed to DISH I did the ClubDish bit. The catch 22 is anyone can sign up and if they don't use the ID code provided, the person who refferred them does not get the credit. That's why I stopped doing it. I quickly discovered that I was doing the recruiting work for...

    Why not to accept a Dish credit offer

    I've been a loyal on time paying sub for over 9 years. When I ask CSRs about all these "promos" I hear about, I'm told here are none available to me. I'm sure there might be some software based matrix that generates this response since CSRs don't seem to be able to deviate from the script nor...
