    Coming back to dish...

    So you are happy to believe that Dish will do what they say they will do, but don't think that Directv will .... interesting ... I personally don't believe a word either of them says until I see it with my own eyes. Once Dish regains the upper hand I expect complacency to set in (again) and...

    Coming back to dish...

    ... but it was 18 months ago .... you can only make a decision based on the information that is available to you at the time that you are ready to make a commitment. 18 months ago Directv was a MUCH better deal for me personally than dish. If I had to make a call now - i'd probably lean towards...

    Coming back to dish...

    I'm hanging around until the end of my contract with Directv .. (Feb/March?) will then make a choice between providers as I do each and every time my commitment ends ... I have zero loyalty to any provider ... the one that gives me the best deal at the time i'm ready to sign for an extra 24...

    Quit Calling me you bunch of idiots!

    Yup - I used to forward all marketing calls from a company directly to the sales line of the same company ... Unfortunately the VOIP provider I was using was very inconsistent so my better half insisted that I switch providers or face a life of constant nagging .... I switched providers...

    Quit Calling me you bunch of idiots!

    The last few calls I got were ... Jul 06, 2009 03:21 PM Jul 07, 2009 02:00 PM Jul 07, 2009 06:09 PM Jul 08, 2009 01:29 PM I work from home - so going out when I am supposed to be working isn't really an option, i'm amazed at how much my complaining seems to anger the fan boys, I would...

    Quit Calling me you bunch of idiots!

    A federal law says that once I have asked them to stop calling me - they have to stop calling me ... if they call me they are breaking the law ... seems quite simple to me ... As my signature says however .. i like to whine ... doing it here will call them out in public .. each time they...

    Quit Calling me you bunch of idiots!

    Not answering will not stop the calls coming ... Bottom line is ... it is illegal for them to be calling me after I have asked them to stop .. once I have told them I no longer want calls from them .. I should not have to go out of my way to stop the harassment ..

    Quit Calling me you bunch of idiots!

    Yup - my current VOIP provider does not offer this service .. and I should not need to have this service .... Dish Network should follow the law ... but we all know how well they do that ... :rolleyes: Never mind .... let's hope a $10k fine will follow .... Edit - looks like they get more...

    Quit Calling me you bunch of idiots!

    Wrong ... If i ask them to stop calling - even if I have an existing relationship - they then have to stop calling. I'm glad your opinion is just that ..... https://www.donotcall.gov/faq/faqbusiness.aspx#who One caveat: if a consumer asks a company not to call, the company may not...

    Quit Calling me you bunch of idiots!

    Have just had my fourth call from Dish in three days. After I left them 14 months ago I asked for my name to be removed from any/all call-lists ... I assumed that this had been done as I did not hear from them again .. until Tuesday night. Tues I got a call from an account supervisor from Dish...

    From D* to Dish last week...DVR confusing.

    I went from Dish to Direct quite a while ago now .. i said on the day of the switch that the Dish hardware is better ... (ability to record three shows at once, PIP, and the second room SD - even though i never used the latter two) but the software on the Directv box was more intuitive and...

    Well if this isn't false advertising...

    "In Feb 2009, all analog tv - both broadcast and cable - is going off air" would probably have been easier to understand - but it would not have created nearly as much interest in the service probably.

    No Goltv on Dish?

    nope - $4 per month more ... (but of course i am also getting more channels) when you factor in the sign up deals its $25 per month less expensive. :) The following prices are with zero discounts .. I have the plus HD DVR ... for $72.99 per month .. + $12 sports pack + HD extra pack...

    No Goltv on Dish?

    Conceded .. I had never heard of it happening elsewhere - and over the past 7/8 years had never seen it with my own eyes anywhere other than with Dish ... but i guess it does happen elsewhere then. Yeah i remember the virgin one well .. happened right about the time that LOST was back on air...

    No Goltv on Dish?

    Because this kinds stuff only ever happens with one provider ... If it ain't dish's fault - every other provider would randomly pull stations off air .. they don't.

    No Goltv on Dish?

    Quite possible - yes ... as long as by the time i was ready to switch - dish had the channels that were on my "must have" list ... unfortunately right now (and when the time came to make the call) .. they don't .. so i made the switch .. For right now - i'm getting everything i need at a lower...

    No Goltv on Dish?

    The "sports pack" for $12 has both fox soccer and Gol Tv .. So you can add the sports pack to whatever base package you need. :) I'm getting a "discount" price right now with $18 or so per month for a years basic discount - then $10 per month for two years for a AAA deal etc etc ... But I...

    No Goltv on Dish?

    It depends on your configuration ... it'll be different for everyone :) For me - directv is around $3-5 more expensive after my "deals" expire .. of course - before they expire .. it's around $25 per month less expensive for the first year and then around $5-10 less expensive for the second...

    No Goltv on Dish?

    Rupert isn't in charge anymore .... and directv has not run at a loss for a few years now ... you seem to be really grasping at straws here to try and find things to support your arguments. ;) edit : sorry I'll leave this thread alone now ... i've had my fun.

    No Goltv on Dish?

    Unless of course ... like me .. you believe that having Goltv in At250 actually benefits Dish .. because they gain subscribers from all of those people who want to see this channel and its "niche" programming ... and so they upgrade to the highest tier in order to be able to do so ... we...
