I did the same when my Dish contract ran out last week. I went back to cable (TWC) and couldn't be happier to be rid of Dish. Too many reasons to even list, not that anyone would care. They sent me pre-paid shipping boxes for my receivers. They told me not to worry about the dish or the...

And, as well all know, Dish employees never lie.

At this point, I don't really care if they fix it. I'm done with Dish starting 3/18. I'll just watch the SD versions till then. I guess people can crack on TWC all they want, but they would never just ignore this like (not surprisingly) Dish is doing. To me, it's another example of how Dish...

The real question is WTF Dish is doing about it.

4? I know of NBC 17 and Fox 50 (HD versions)? What else is out?

You don't need a new dish. If you do, then we all do. It's a DN issue for all of the RDU area customers. Now, you may decide that you need a new provider. I did-- TWC is coming out the minute my contract is up-- 2 weeks from yesterday.

Must have gotten fixed after 6:45am. When I left this morning, 17 and 50 (HD versions) were still down.

No tech will help. This is a Dish problem. I would guarantee that no Dish customers in Raleigh/Durham/Chapel Hill are getting NBC-17 and Fox-50 in HD. Another reason why I can't wait to dump Dish when my contract runs out in 2 weeks. I'm going back to cable. That tells you what I think of...

Yep, I see it too.

I'm out too-- the moment my 18 month contract ends this month. Going back to cable. So many reasons why. But, by far the biggest reason is Ergen. There's only 2 explanations for this guy. 1) He's stupid (and we know he's not-- how can a multi-millionaire filling his personal pockets with...

Ditto, TWC. Dish reminds me of the Titanic-- while water gushes in, the violinists still play on deck.

The ABC 11 engineer told me that it has to do with the (software) code sent to them by Dish. It cleared up on ABC when they sent a new version. Apparently, the version sent to Fox 50 is funky. One of the many reasons that I'm dumping Dish this month when my contract runs out. Time Warner is...

Back to your original question ... "Dish hypocrisy sinks to new low - Do they think we're all stupid?" I think you know the answer. Yep.

I had TWC before Dish, so I know about their equipment. Frankly, a box is a box to me. Yeah, the Dish DVR is 2 room, but I'll just get 2 DVR SA8300's from TWC. It's not a biggie to me. Otherwise, I could care less about the software et. al. I'm more interested in reliability than which one...

I hear you, my friend. I'm going to do the same thing (cancel) when my contract is up in March. I'm going back to Time Warner. They don't have as much HD, but at least they don't lie. And, my signal won't go out every time it sprinkles.

Excuse my ignorance, but what are lnb's?

I'm thinking of cancelling my DN service and going back to cable. I know I'll have to send my receivers back. Am I responsible for the dish itself-- removing it and making sure there are no holes in my roof, etc.? I'm not crazy about heights. Thanks.

Then it's a Dish thing? What can be done about it? I emailed them (ABC 11) through their web site "CONTACT US" link.

Thanks. Good to know it's not just me. So, you think it's a Dish thing or local ABC 11 HD thing? If that's the case, this would be happening on Time Warner and Direct TV as well, right?

(For Raleigh/Durham subs)-- Anyone else notice the blurriness and macro-blocking in the middle of the screen for this channel? It's most noticeable on sporting events and graphics (news and sports). Or, is it just me?

I agree with you, my friend. My contract is up in March, and with the way cable has been adding HD (I have Time Warner here in NC), I'll most likely jump back to TWC. Just check out the other sites (engadgethd.com, highdefforum.com, tvpredictions.com)-- all the cable companies (Cox, TWC...

Why all the freakin code language? If you know something, spit it out. Otherwise, the lame metaphors are just irritating.

This happened about 6 months ago. Are you just noticing?

Yes-- they are broadcasting some of their games in HD. But ... Dish doesn't have it yet.

This is not good news (if you're a football fan). I think we all know that "by the end of the year" is Dish speak for 12/31/08 at 11:59pm. That means we'll miss the entire football season. If this is true, I agree with the sentiments of the initial post of this thread. Why does Dish always...
