    I got $5.00 off for 3 mo, and $3.00 off for an addtional 3 mo adding to a grand total of $24.00 off for losing my sports package and the RSNs (the only reason I switched to Dish) and the rest of the channels...I will be pulling the plug on Dish as soon as the last episode of HBOs Empire airs. :mad:

I don't get the HD tier anymore, may need...

    I'm getting ready too...I already put up a OTA antenna and get all the major stuff in HD. I will check out that old cable co. cable too. If I hook it back up to to my TV is that illegal? I also have a good card in my computer and am hooked to my TV so I can go internet too. I'm checking out the...

    Hmmmmmmmmmm...I never thought about trying to hook my cable line to my TV to see if I could still get programing. I dropped cable a year ago EXCEPT for the high speed internet and went to Dish. So all I have to do is disconnect the SAT cable and plug in the cable co. cable to my TV? That would...

    Local Cable didn't offer FSS in HD...Dish did...now it's gone... Dish doesn't have the MLB channel...so I will get my Braves fix via MLB.com or elsewhere. Braves baseball is my deal breaker...I have to have it....I told Dish that when I switched....I had to listen to the last few regular season...

    I'm mad enough to not care about the disconnect fee...I will be out around 100.00 after prorating whats left on my contract, but 1 month of not paying for the service will cover that....then I'm free and clear. I figure I can save close to $1500 a year by canceling...that will buy a lot of FTA...

    My 1st post...I called Dish and expressed my disgust with the situation and they gave me $5.00 off for 3 mo. and $3.00 off for an additional 3 mos. to compensate me for my loss of my regional sports channels. The whole reason I switched to them last year was to get FSS in HD...and because of...
