    OFFICIAL DISH / FOX ORDEAL DISCUSSION THREAD

    Everytime I think I might decide to return to Dish (I left in January 2010), I say no way because Dish is channel drop happy. You never know which shoe is going to drop next. I am now with AT&T, and they have some disputes of their own, but it's not a plague, like it is at Dish.

    America's Everything Pak value

    I left Dish in February because of the box fee increases. Before that, I was a very happy customer, who paid his AEP bills on time. I thought I would be a "lifer" with Dish. But, the more I thought about how unfair the box price increases were, the more I was tempted to leave. When my contract...

    Good customer support experience

    I know it is unpopular for me to post it, but I have been a Dish subscriber for two years and would not think of changing. The issues I have had during my relationship with Dish have been inconsequential at worst. BTW, before someone accuses me of such, I am not an employee of Dish, and...

    PiP with Vip722

    I have always said, if one has the propensity for rudeness, a message board is the ideal medium from which it will surface. This thread confirms that. I have always found the majority of posters on this site to be very helpful; we don't need an infiltration of those who aren't.

    DISH NETWORK® UNVEILS BIGGEST HIGH DEFINITION UPGRADE IN TV HISTORY

    This is good news; better than we have had in quite awhile. It is sad that some of us are so cynical that we can modulate a melodious tune into one of cachophonic warbling. :rolleyes:

    Commercial-free Channels ? (Non-Premium)

    As the saying goes, " Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder." There were a few Voom channels My wife and I enjoyed: Equator, HD News and HD Movies, to name three. My wife still complains that theses are gone and wishes we would drop Dish. Sometimes that thought is way too tempting. BRING BACK...

    Not sure why the implication (Duh) that one is dumb since they did not read the legend. This is very confusing to those of us who are not Satellite verbiage experts. :rolleyes:

    80 HD chans??!?!!???

    Charlie is very adept at dazzling us with his brilliance, AND baffling us with Bull Chit! Some of us have not learned that yet. I cringe to think what the next assemblage of twenty HD channels will represent. :eek:

    DISH -VS- VOOM - A Settlement has been reached!

    You can argue the subject of whether you side with E* or Voom until hell freezes over, but one thing rings loud and true: We E* subscribers are the real losers in this legal abyss no matter which company's stance is declared the winner. Think about it! :(

    Dish Network Updates by Email

    I signed up for the updates in March of 07 and have never received one. I have also asked different CSR's to make sure I get them and I still don't. This must be due to the clandestine attitude Dish wishes to purvey in most levels of communications. :up

    Dish Network Earnings Call

    In a matter of less than twenty-four hours, Charlie has gone from a hero (17 new HD turn ons) to a goat (dropping ten of 15 Voom channels, with a comment about doing away with them all). Uncertainty and turmoil still abound! I have written this before, and I will say it again with a caviat: I...
