    So who is lying, E* or local Salisbury networks?

    Actually I am covered under the 2 markets. I live in Dover and that is considered to be in the Philadelphia DMA, yet Salisbury has been able to block me with getting out of market stations when I tried a few years ago. Not sure of the specifics, but when I applied for waivers, that is who...

    So who is lying, E* or local Salisbury networks?

    I just found this thread. I live in Delaware and at the moment have both FIOS and Direct TV (I have had Dish in the past). I have seen the adds on WBOC and have really been annoyed by a couple of things. First, I live in both the Philadelpia and Salisbury DMA. When they say I can't get ABC...

    Chiller from Sleuth

    It would be a good station for E* to pick up. I have been watching it quite a bit. I love the old American Gothic and Twin Peaks series they have been showing.

    INDEMAND will carry MLB EI? No so fast says MLB... How about E*?

    I watched the Red Sox play today and it was NESN in HD. I wasn't able to do that with E*. I had E* for the past 8 years, but in January when I found out I was going to be charged $14 more a month and it was likely E* wouldn't have MLB EI, I decided it was time to make a change. It was a tough...

    Dish price going up

    I may not have as many HD channels, but most of the Voom ones I rarely watched. I get more of my locals in HD on D* than E* offered and I watch those more than the Voom channels. D* will be adding more HD this year. D* is the better value for me. It was hard for me to make the switch, but I...

    Dish price going up

    This last increase was very big. My bill was going up $14. I don't mind a few dollars, but this was too much. I switched to D* after having E* for 8 years. I am getting some discounts from D*, but even after that ends, it will still be cheaper than E*. It was not an easy choice to make, but...

    DISH Cries Foul Over DIRECTV/MLB Deal

    This is just a poor move. It would be one thing if Charlie didn't want to pay for MLB but to have an arrangement that makes it exlusive just isn't right. The anger should be directed at MLB for allowing this deal to happen. D* saw an opportunity to do something that it thinks will help them...

    Called And Complained About Price Increase! Great Results!!

    I can't believe the size of the price increase. My bill was going up $14. I was planning on downgrading. I then learned that MLB is going exclusively to D*. I decided it was time for me to switch. D* was offering all kinds of incentives so it was worth it for me to make the switch. Even...

    Horrible Customer service from Dish

    I haven't been happy with customer support since it went overseas. It is hard to understand the reps. Though I will say that I called to cancel today and I did not find it to be a bad experience. I first got patched through to the Indian call center. When I told them I wanted to cancel they...

    Will you change your plan due to increase?

    With the price increase I was planning on downgrading, but now that MLB is only on D*, I am leaving E*. I have been a top tier subscriber for 8 years and I am now going to D*. I have an installation of D* scheduled this weekend. I will miss some things on E*. It was a tough choice, but many...

    Cancellation fee?

    I just signed up with D* I asked about early cancellation in case I am not happy. I was told it was $12.50 a month for the remaining time on your commitment after I have had them for 29 days.

    Why go to Directv at this time

    I am not sure what E* is going to do, I have to assume they will be adding more HD. Though I wonder as they have had a lot of distractions recently. They seem to be fighting with everyone. I have had E* for 8 years and have been relatively happy with them up unto this past year. This past...

    It's Official : Extra Innings Package and 24-Hour Channel Headed Exclusively to Direc

    I am pretty much in the same boat as shodobe. I've had Dish for 8 years and waited too long for them to get MLB. Now that I've had it, I'm not giving it up. I hate to go with D* but MLB will push me over. I have invested a lot in equipment with E*, so it hurts to make a move. Then again...

    It's Official : Extra Innings Package and 24-Hour Channel Headed Exclusively to Direc

    Somehow this isn't right. MLB has to realize that many who are watching this on cable can't get satellite TV so they are hurting those fans. I subscribe to E* and hate to make any switches to D*, but I am a big baseball fan and this may force me to D*. I hope someone can find a way to block...

    philly locals

    I have been trying out cable and I can honestly say the HD local channels are usually better than Dish's, plus they carry more of them in HD. I have been able to watch them without the pixelating which is a big improvement. I am going to be downgrading my Dish service and the locals will be...

    My FIOS TV vs. DISH Compare

    Cable has done their own cherry picking. I have known people that wanted cable, but couldn't get it. They weren't in an area with enough people to make it worth it to the cable companies to run the cable. They would only do it if the individuals were willing to pay the full cost of running...

    My FIOS TV vs. DISH Compare

    I am hoping the FIOS will make it down to Dover. I have been frustrated with Dish this past year. I just signed up with Comcast. They have really improved since I left them 8 years ago. I am in the process of deciding if I will drop Dish all together or have some cable and some satellite...

    Who in here is moving to another cable/satellite company?

    I currently have the Plantinum pack plus superstations and locals. I can't justify paying $10 more for television. That is just too big a jump especially when they aren't offering me anything new. I will be dropping back or switching to cable or have a combination of both. I have had cable...

    Dish LIVE Retailer Chat Recap - December 20, 2006

    I have been a big advocate of Dish and have referred many customers, but recently have been somewhat dissatisfied. I have found there service has really been horrible and I now have to have 2 dishes if I want High Def. My local cable company offered me a deal that I am currently trying. I...

    Why does dish schedule soo many different techs/companies?

    In sharing stories with other subscribers in my area, having no shows is common practice. The installers work is shoddy. I will no longer refer my friends to Dish. I let them know it is a good product but be ready for headaches on the install. The last time I referred a friend to them, they...

    DISH billing abuse

    When they mess up a bill, it can be a real nightmare. It took me two months and many hours to finally get a billing issue resolved. I had to E-mail CEO@Dishnetwork.com a few times and then they finally had someone actually help me. I hope I never have to go through that again.

    Problems with India call center, exec office take note.

    My encounters with the Indian call center have been horrible. I end up spending a lot of time on the phone and they have never been any help at all. The last few time I have ended up asking for the cancellation department just so I can get to someone that can speak English and actually has the...

    can you believe this bill????

    I have a real mess with my past couple of billings. I have autopay so my credit card has just been charged. I cannot not find any way to tie out with the bills. I did not receive a bill for 1 month because I had a credit balance. I would really like to see this anyway. That may shed some...

    Check your bill carefully

    I agree. I am going through billing issues now. It appears to me that I was double billed $399 for a VIP 211. They charged my credit card and then also put it on my bill. I haven't been able to straighten this out. I just sent and E-mail to CEO@Dishnetwork.com. I hope this will take care...
