This was the final straw. I'm done with Dish, after many years. I should have dropped them when they couldn't come to any terms with the NYC RSNs, and I've been without local sports now for years. The constant drop outs during NY weather, and paying through the nose, when compared to cable...

I absolutely loathe my local cable provider Optimum (Cablevision) and the Dolan Family (the jerks who own it), but I have about had it with Charlie Ergen and his macho poker bullcrap. I've gone three or four years without any ANY local sports in NYC, because Ergen is bullheaded, and I'm fed...

I've been a Dish customer for years and years now, and I'm really getting fed up with this. I haven't had MSG in about four or five years now (yeah, I know, both Dolan and Charlie are at fault), and CNN and now CBS? The only thing keeping me is a couple of EHDs with a ton of stuff in them, but...

I made my annual phone call to customer service the other day, yet another year without an RSN, even though I'm paying for it as part of my fee. The result? $5 off a month for the next year. I still would be happy to pay it if I got MSG and SNY as a result. This is what, year four of this...

I'd pay, and happily... After years without our RSNs here in NYC, I face yet another Hockey season with nothing until network broadcasts begin in the latter half of the season. Yeah, I know, I can switch to Direct TV, but I've got two EHDs full of movies that go "poof" if I change from Dish...

At least until there is an Ergen V. Dolan made for TV Mini-series. I wonder who will carry it? Greenwood Luke Warwick NY

I'm getting a discount - err, rebate, err, incentive, but only because I pitched an absolute fit. One CSR hung up on me, the next one gave me the discount. I try not to think about this stuff, because I get very angry when I do - I've gone two years without regular seasons Rangers Hockey, Mets...

Here I was, thinking that there's a Hall Of Fame just for people with the initials "CE". Charlie Ergen seemed such a perfect fit. Greenwood Luke Warwick, NY

Don't take no for an answer - it took a while, but I got $10 off my bill for the next year, due to the lack of ANY of the RSNs here in NY. We have two teams, the Rangers and the Devils in the NHL Playoffs, and not a single game was visible here - and both went to seven games. But I've beat...

I have two EHDs with probably a couple of hundred of hours of programming that I don't want to lose. I've yet to hear of anyone offering Conversion Services for Dish EHD's over to other formats. I finally hit the end of contract in early March. If it weren't for the EHD's I'd be gone then...

The final day of regular season games in the NHL inspired me to put in yet another call to DISH Customer Service, to complain about the fact that while we in the NY-NJ area pay for a Regional Sports Network, much like every other customer, we haven't been receiving any for over two years now...

That's a shame - I listen to The Village all the time in the car. They really had a good mix of all sorts of folk music.

The aspect of TWC v. MSG dispute, as well as the Dish v. MSG dispute that bears constant repeating is that these is not just about money. MSG (and Madison Square Garden) is controlled by the Dolan family, which just happens to control Cablevision, one of TWC's major competitors in the NYC Metro...

All I want is MSG. In HD would be nice, but I'd be more than happy just to get the channel in the first place. Greenwood Luke Warwick,NY
