Time Warner offered us a deal like that (up to $200) if we bundled phone, internet & cable.

Agreed, if you are waiting and hoping, you're going to be disappointed. SNY has said all along that Dish has had very little contact with them and has not seriously negotiated.

It was similar here when I left Dish in April. All but one of the locals (NBC) broadcast in HD and are on cable in HD, but they were all SD on Dish.

Very similar story here, 10+ years, Dish had little to say when I told them why I was cancelling (no NY RSN). I have cable, which does have MSG in HD, and I have come to really like the MLB Network - didn't know what I was missing. I would have stayed if Ii thought they were at least making an...

Despite any statements to the contrary Dish may make, it is clear from their actions that sports are on the black list. By the way, since switching to cable and discovering what the MLB Network has to offer, I am enamored with it.

I'm a true blue fan. I don't care if they win or lose, I will watch. Besides, doesn't look like anyone can write them off just yet.

Left at the end of April. Time Warner will give you cable/internet/phone for $99, and if you talk to a sales rep they'll give you some sort of credit for the ETF. There's been a slight learning curve going back to cable after 10 years with Dish, especially with the guide (Time Warner's guide...

Mine arrived about a week after cancelling. Are they threatening you with charging you for the receiver?

I live in rural upstate NY and recently switched from Dish to cable (because of SNY). We live in a valley and get nothing watchable on OTA antenna. With Dish we were in the Binghamton DMA, and got the Binghamton ABC, CBS, Fox & PBS, and the Elmira NBC since Binghamton doesn't have an NBC (and...

I feel your pain. My story is almost identical to yours, I really did have some angst leaving Dish after 10+ years. There has been a bit of a learning curve going back to cable (especially with the crappy program guide), but I haven't missed a Mets game since switching and SNY is HD full time.

I cancelled two weeks ago after having been with Dish for over 10 years. I switched to cable because of sports, specifically SNY. When I called to cancel, the CSR asked what service I was considering switching to. When I said I already had Time Warner, we went through the process in less than 2...

Not at all, Tampa, and I think you may have missed my point. While Dish does have a very low subscriber rate in NYC (as does Direct), upstate has many more. The presumption is that those outside NYC do not care about the RSN because they're city teams. Add to that that before the SNY thing, Dish...

Perplexes me, too. Reading the little Charlie has said on the subject, it seems he doesn't believe New Yorkers care about sports, or at least RSNs. I don't think that attitude will change unless it affects his bottom line and the only way for that to happen is a mass exodus of Dish subscribers...

Wow, I bet people are just going to be flocking to Dish now, putting Direct and the big cable companies out of business.

I wholeheartedly agree. Most people outside NY do not realize what a really small part of the state NYC is, and that, because of the way the city is with high rise apartments, etc., there are actually very few Dish subscribers in the city. Upstate is huge. It's nearly 400 miles from Buffalo to...

My experience was similar when I switched to cable - I wish Fios was available here. At any rate, yes, it does seem that Dish might be a little more concerned for longtime customers - I was also a 10+ year customer. But I've seen every Mets game in HD since switching last week.

I've heard the SNY place holder is gone from the menu now. True?

Yep, baseball is indeed baseball, and I haven't missed a Mets game since switching to cable.

For what it's worth, I called and cancelled while watching SNY in HD after cable was installed. When the CnSR asked what provider I was considering switching to, I told her I already had cable installed. There was no argument, no switching me over to customer loyalty, she just went ahead and did...

I agree, that would have been spectacular. Earlier on, when I contacted Dish after about 1 1/2 weeks of no SNY, they offered my $10 off for a year and Cinemax free for 3 months. I told them I didn't want that, I want SNY, which I now have with Time Warner. Looks as though Dish is starting to...

I agree. I paid Dish an ETF and will pay the $15 to ship back my box as soon as the stuff comes. I knew this going in to the cancellation process. Meanwhile, I asked Time Warner what I would pay if I decided I didn't like them in a month, and was pleasantly surprised. I'd only pay for the days I...

Just some comments on some recent posts here: I predicted SNY would disappear from the menu, but I thought it would be next week (after the first of the month when "negotiations" had been going on for a month). I'm not sure that Dish wants to put SNY/MSG/YES in a package, but I would have paid...

I have to agree. I had been a loyal Dish customer for over 10 years, but Time Warner is coming in the morning. As DVDDAD says, there are some things I'll miss, but I will have NY RSNs and more locals.

Bingo! Switching to Time Warner Wednesday.

I live upstate in the Southern Tier along the NY/PA border. We have no RSN at all at this point. Lost MSG last fall, SNY 3 weeks ago, never had YES. FWIW, I never understood why Mets fans have to hate the Yanks and vice versa, either. I'm a Mets fan, but it's not like have never watched the...
