    Did you get a free Roku offer?

    Well I don't know... I called back and got someone with an attitude, said 'you don't qualify, you don't rate high enough'. I got an email I got the previous guy that was ready to press the order button but it wasn't taking it. I was not amused. I asked to speak to his supervisor. 20 minute...

    New D* subscriber - CSR/Retentions "scammed" my installation!! Now what does one do?

    Well, for what it's worth... Over a year ago, when I switched from Dish to Direct, (3 LNB dish). I had the free installation. I KNEW at that time I would be getting an HD receiver in the future (and did six months later). So I figured I would plan ahead. While the guy was there, BEFORE HE...
