    Attention cord cutters...

    Yes, I'm comparing what I had with Dish with what I have right now and I told you that for ME it is a lot better now because your initial post was directed at cord cuterrs. And yes, Netflix doesn't have commercials. I don't care about CNN, FOX or MSNBC. I have the internet and the other free...

    Attention cord cutters...

    Netflix is $7.99/month for me, no contract, no hidden fees like DVR fee, HD fee, receiver fee, whole home DVR fee, ETF , etc. That means that YES, for me is a lot better and cheaper. Right now for internet plus Netflix I pay exactly $52/month. When I had Dish, that was more than two years ago...

    Dish and Fox Making Up?

    I don't understand why everybody is piling on Mitch. Each customer who cancels Dish, costs Dish almost $900 to replace. If they cannot replace them the subscribers number will shrink. If it will shrink to much the stock price will go down and the Dish stockholders will loose money. Very simple...

    CNN and HLN gone/ Dish-Turner Dispute - Now Back 11/21

    I don't know why a lot of people think that a la carte must replace the current system. You like it as it is and it makes more sense for you, fine, keep it. But add the a la carte option also. Personally I don't need hundreds of channels. That's why I canceled Dish and I can tell you that I...

    Is Dish crazy...162.48 per month?

    Wake up people! You pay way to much for garbage, cut the cord you won't miss the TV. $7.99 for Netflix plus Simple TV OTA whole house DVR without any monthly fees here. If you cannot live without DISH or DirecTV stop complaining and continue paying their outrageous fees every month and enjoy...

    Well, I finally did it.

    I've got that package for internet, HBO was a bonus. The Comcast SD box is still in the original package, I'm not using it. I have all the local channels free and in HD over the air and I'm watching HBO on HBOGO. BTW, on HBOGO you realize that HBO is overpriced. Every week you have one new movie...

    Well, I finally did it.

    If you can subscribe to Comcast what you want is doable. I have the Internet Plus package with them, that's 25 MB internet, HBO and HBOGO for $39.95/month for the first year. You will need an Apple TV or a Chromecast to be able to use HBOGO with Comcast, it's not working (yet?) on Roku.

    Well, I finally did it.

    Welcome to the cord cutters club! Another option is Simple TV. And you can get a Simple.tv Network Tuner DVR (first generation) with Lifetime Premier Subscription for $125 on Amazon. I ordered one yesterday, I should have it in a few days. You will have to add your own external HDD but if you...

    When will it end?

    Cancel! Cancel! Cancel! Send them a message, maybe they will hear it. The pay TV providers will change the way that they are doing business when enough of their subscribers will cancel. In 2006, when I signed up with Dish my bill was $75 per month but it included HBO, Showtime and Starz. Last...

    Price increases in February 2014 (UPDATED!)

    I canceled Dish almost one year ago. Now I have only the OTA channels plus Netflix and the sport package from DishWorld for some european soccer on Roku, the total is $18/month. But that's not what I want to tell you. What I want to tell you is a really great story: A friend visited us some time...

    So you want ala carte

    I canceled Dish after their latest price increase because it became way to expensive for all the garbage and the repeats filled with ads 90% of the time. I told them that I will return to Dish when they will offer me a la carte channels. Until then they and all the other pay TV providers can...

    Disappointed with DISH - DIRT Team help???

    Cancel Dish, don't switch to Directv, install an OTA antenna ( if you don't have one already), get Netflix and your bill will be only $8/month. I did it 4 months ago and I don't miss Dish at all. Now I'm asking myself how I was so stupid to pay almost $80/month (I had the top 200 package, no...

    Fees increasing?

    Best option for everyone: Cancel and switch to OTA and/or FTA. And force pay TV providers to offer a la carte. When we canceled Dish they tried to convince us to change our minds, they told us that they will do "almost anything" to keep us. I told them that we don't need hundreds of channels, we...

    What did dish offer for you to stay after 2 years?

    Yes, they forced me to cut the cord. I'm glad that I did it. Thank you Dish!

    What did dish offer for you to stay after 2 years?

    How loyal is Dish with you when they increase the prices, take channels offline, force you to pay receiver fees for your OWN receiver, force you out of the package that you signed up for, force you to buy the local channels even if you don't need them because you have an OTA antenna, etc?

    Fox Soccer & Fox Soccer Plus moved??

    I also joined the forum because of the way that Dish is handling the FSC HD channel. I have AT120+ because FSC HD is part of the package. I contacted them over the chat and this is the relevant parts of the transcript: Dave (ID: FQA): I understand your concern HD FSC channel is available in...
