I'm in the same boat right now ... am hanging on until I know what's coming from D12 .... Dish will once again have a small advantage on price ... (They keep offering the new customer deals if I will come back) ... however they don't have GolTv .. a big one for me ... but they do have HRTV ...

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...

... 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...

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...

Indeed .. I can taste the bitterness from here. One step above fanboi is fanatic ...

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...

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...

.. and still they call .. one more call from them today ... one more report to the FTC.

I guess what you are trying to say is - if you find something that works for you - stick with it .. dish works for you - direct works for me and the OP ... ;)

as soon as you cancel or the service has been transfered Directv will start bombarding you with calls to get you back. If you can live without service for a week - you will be able to get a free "install" .. failing that - call back - ask for retention or cancellations and explain what is...

Agreed .. I tuned in earlier today and HD was awful on one of the channels (704 I think .. was watching the Blake match) I can't remember the last time i saw HD this bad. Wait .. yes I can .. it was on Dish. :p Edit - it was 705. Still looks like crap right now ... worst HD I think I have...

I agree .. the new ads mean that I now have to scroll left/right to even read any of the forum posts ... very annoying. Probably 65% of the entire screen area was taken up with ads ... I removed the site from my firefox/chrome startup tabs. It's not worth the time/effort it takes to...

Directv is the best provider available to me .. i've had cable, dish and directv over the past 8-10 years and Directv is hands down the best of the three .. having said that ... The channels that I can get from alll three are pretty much the same ... (I get all channels - plus HD apart from...

Is this not your second "Discount" in as many months? You signed up in November .. got the equipment/discounts that were on offer ($23 + whatever promo was available at the time) Then an additional $15 per month because you sneezed, then an additional $20 per month + $75 ? That's $60+ in...

With no extra $$'s for the HD channels and not having to pay an extra $10 for the Fox Soccer Channel .... Plus the fact that they have my PBS in HD ... as well as channels my wife would watch (Lifetime HD + Lifetime Movies HD) + AMC HD, E! HD, + Travel ... I'm considering them as my next...
