    What are the odds this bill will pass?

    I'd like to see this happen too. I live in Fairfield County CT, by DMA we are part of NYC. No matter how much any complains they wont budge on the Nielson rating DMA scope. We are closer milagewise to all of the other CT locals, but due to living in Fairfield County we are required to have...

    Dish vs ATT U-verse

    We are considering dropping Dish in a few months when our 622 commitment is done. After 5+ years of iffy Dish service all things boil down to crazy HD channel pricing, DVR rental fees and other stupid fees, Lastly, the biggest reason is that fact that we live in CT and are forced to watch NYC...

    Upgraded to 625

    We took advantage of the $100 upgrade to a 522 last week. We upgraded to the 625 on Sat. We were leasing a 501 and 301, and the upgrade to the 625 is a wash cost wise, so our bill did not go up or down. Overall Im very pleased with the 625, when I called to upgrade last week, I was told it...

    Can't subscribe to Hartford channels

    If I had cable, I would not be part of the NYC DMA. I would get my locals from Hartford and New Haven. Answer me this Batman. Why is Dish having to play by 1 set of rules when the cable companies are allowed to not follow any. Does anyone know if D* allows Danbury to get Hartford locals...

    Can't subscribe to Hartford channels

    We've been a dish subscriber for over 2 years. In the beginning we were promised CT channels in the near future. Now after Hartford locals have been added, I've been told by E* that since I live in Danbury, Fairfield county, we can not have Hartford. We're stuck with NYC and theres nothing we...
