After 15 years, I am being forced to leave Dish with 18 months left on my contract.
With the growth in trees this spring I can no longer get a signal off the 129 bird. This means I get no HD or Locals. A tech came out Monday but said there was no place in my yard that would work, suggested moving to Eastern Arc and left.
Since then, I have called Dish four times, chatted with a DIRT member on here and gotten a different answer each time. These range from "I am not elegible for Eastern Arc" to "I can get Eastern Arc but will still need 129 for my locals and will have to pay to switch".
All I want is to get what I pay for but that does not seem possible. I really do not care that "my" locals are not on Eastern Arc as there are two cities within 100 miles that are but, due to my Zip Code, Dish either can't or won't give them to me.
So, my choices are stay on the Western Arc and watch SD, pay to move to the Eastern Arc without knowing what I will start getting, or pay to drop Dish and move to Comcast.
I really do not like any of the three but do not know what else to do.
