I know it's not constructive, but all I can say is " what a schmoe".

Thus the post I assume???:rolleyes:

This does not reflect our canceling scenario at all. We canceled/de-installed just before the next billing period and our final bill showed a monthly charge and then credit on the same bill and we have not been billed since. I suspect they may have (V*) gotten past their billing debacle that...

:eek: Any chance you spelled your address wrong???

Exactly! Same 'ol same 'ol. On the same token, it's good reading. ;)

Well, I canceled my V* because we moved and they wanted to charge us a fee I refused to pay. Let me tell you, after going back to D* the V* HD line-up is very very missed around here. D*'s offerings are dismal in comparison to say the least. If V* had the deal going thats offered right now...

It's the norm actually especially if the install company is busy. Doesn't help you I realize......so help yourself instead. You mentioned a torn ACL so you certainly aren't capable, but how about a friend, relative, brother or anybody for that matter. Gasp! Maybe even a local company that...

The only ones V* hurt was themselves because they took a great idea with tremendous potential and turned it into a giant mess fraught with crappy equipment, poor customer service and empty promises. I have no doubts that if D*, E* or your local cable co. offered the same premium HD channels...

Even better. I went based on what was listed at their web site. The CSR said ABC was on when I called but found it odd that the web listing contradicted that. Thanks for the confirmation.

Well, noon came and went. No call from V*. Big surprise! :rolleyes: With some remorse, de-install for 11/15. I'll really miss (believe it or not) Gunslinger V* exclusive. Definitely have not ruled out V* for the future....but they need to re-invent their customer relations/retention...

LOL...I think it's going to end up being 'boned'. I e-mailed Wilt and he said he would check into it. That was a few days ago. Have not heard back. I know thats not a lot of time...but we don't have it decision wise irregardless if I'm partialy to blame. (procrastination) I called V* the...

Good one. The 'hips' move was the funniest of the bunch.

Thanks for the comments so far. The moving the dish and just calling them up is a good option....but...it really is the principle of the whole thing thats rubbing me bad. V* has shown no interest in trying to keep a long(ish) term customer. Not much incentive if you ask me to stick with them...

What would you guys/gals do? Serious quandry here as we (read 'I') like the programming and would like to keep V*. Problem is that V* isn't doing anything to keep us. I've called on two occasions giving them the opportunity to throw us a bone with some sort of deal. Nothing! Why would a...

Thats why I suggested earlier to take matters into your own hands. I know there is a principle involved here but if you can honestly look into the future and see yourself with being a sat customer and/or wanting to pick-up your local OTA digital stations, then go out and purchase an antenna and...

Theres pros and cons with V*, but I suspect you were already aware of that before leaping and getting a subscription, so welcome aboard and keep the positive aspects of it in the forefront....and the negatives won't be so bad. The amount of programming (fluff and all) is unbeatable for the...

Holy crimminy this thread took a 90 degree turn towards ugliness. Sean, your much better off when you see posts like Seawaves that are intended to incite to just delete them and be done with it. By commenting/reacting your falling right into his trap.

Living in a valley can be tricky, but an example of a deep fringe antenna can be found here

Been there so I understand. I still can't even phantom what a $600 antenna would be. Even the 'deep fringe' antenna's I've seen go for no more than $200. I don't know your financial situation, but at this point I'd take things into my own hands and head out to a radio shack and buy an...

Why do folks continually schedule installs on work days. Make it for a saturday or whatever day off you have. Make them come at your convienence....not theirs. As for Installs re-nigging on their promise, I'd push the issue. I have to admit though that I'm astonished they (V*) would even...

:no Their out to lunch alright.

I'm sticking with V* for the time being, but I'm just responding because my local Adelphia cable has astonished me with how rapidly the have rolled out HD offerings. The line-up includes all locals + 750 HD HBO High Definition HBO HBO HD (High Definition) 751 HD SHOWTIME High Definition...

Good luck Chet! As far as I'm concerned you gave them a fair shot. I have to say I've been tempted back to D*, mainly because I really miss the GUI of my dust collecting HD200, but the lack of HD on D* at this point keeps me from doing it, and I really think V* has a good thing going if they...

I'd def do the $10 increase...but if they ever decide to price the VaVaVoom package at it's 'value' rate of $109.90 then some real serious thinking will be in order. Not sure any television service is worth that kind of money to be honest.

As important is the fact that if someone decides to get de-installed, I would think it's suffice to presume that V* expects all the components of the 'kit' to be returned to them. That includes cables, antenna, STB etc.. If I were the company (V*) I would have a replacement fee charge set-up for...
