Because as nice as he was, Najir wasn't "verdy" adept at explaining this procedure, nevermind waiting forever on hold just to be conveniently hung up on.

They didn't give me the receivers for free. They charge a $5 lease fee per box, Einstein.

Thanks, RandallA. It was my impression that Dish wants you to leave the satellite so if new people move in it will encourage them to get Dish. When I call to cancel should I ask to be sure?

Hello, I called Dish Network yesterday to try and downgrade to just locals because no one in my house ever has time to watch TV anymore. The nice Indian fellow on the other end tried in earnest to do this for me but after multiple attempts he said that the system will not allow him to do...

Cool, thanks. That site is really informative. It seems I need a "large directional antenna with amplifier". Can anyone recommend a good online store where I can find these? Also, I'm curious why it suggested a "directional" type. Wouldn't a multi-directional pick up channels from all...
