Funny story: I cancelled Dish last March because they took away SNY. So today, I get a call from Dish. A very nice sales person makes me a "great offer" with discounts and equipment to come back. I told her that was all fine, but until they get SNY back, I am sticking with my (horrible) cable...

I didn't mean Charter had a sports tier, I meant that Charter has the channels available. At one time, they offered only Boston sports, which really sucked and was why I went to Dish in the first place. Fortunately, that has changed.

I'm with you. Had Dish for 10+ years, way back to the 4000/5000 receiver days, but had to bail when they dumped SNY because of the Mets/Huskies. Now I'm stuck with Charter, and it really bites. The DVR is horrible compared to Dish. I would pay for a sport tier at Dish that had all of the...

Just checking back in to see if I screwed up, but I guess I did not. Still no SNY, even though they said they were "working hard to get a deal done" back in April. Too bad, as I miss having my receivers, but cable has a few advantages, like better sports.

That may end up to be Dish's bread and butter market. Because in the city, it's sports, and most "city folk" have to have basic cable or some sort of cable for their internet anyway. If they already have cable for the internet, then lose their sports from Dish, it's very easy to say goodbye to...

I cancelled a few weeks ago as well. The fact that satellite TV was a great place to get your local sports teams when it first began was one of the reasons I started with Dish 13 years ago. They were first with HD and kept adding it, far surpassing what my crappy cable company had. However, over...

Dish lost me, a 13+ year subscriber who bought every damn piece of equipment they offered over the years, the HD modules with the $10 fee for HD Discovery Theater when that was all they had plus the demo channel, every DVR from the early to the monster 921 and 942 (or whatever they were), all...

Now what would be spectacular would be if Dish contacted YOU with a message informing you that since you no longer have access to an RSN, you're monthly bill is being reduced by '$X' until such networks returned. They would never do it, because some subscribers don't care if they have RSN's...

The thing that is most aggravating about Dish not having a NY RSN is that if the team you want to watch just happens to be on a regular, non-cleared night of say ESPN, it will be blacked out. So, say you want to see the Mets or Yankees on ESPN Monday Night Baseball, you can't, because they...

I knew it was going to go the way of MSG. What a shame. I just don't understand why they don't pay whatever the provider wants, then charge the customer. I would have paid $10 a month for a YES/SNY/MSG package, full time HD.

Here's an cancellation update for those who are into this stuff. I got "The Comeback Call" on Saturday, from a girl who sounded about 19 years old. (Not that that's bad! :D) Anyway, she started off with the "What do we have to do to get you back" spiel. I told her that the SNY departure was the...

This is why the Yankee fan is the most hated fan in baseball. They glom on to the team with the highest payroll and the most storied history, then claim to take the credit for the teams past glory. Putting on a dark blue hat with a white NY on it causes the brain to swell to twice the normal...

Got this email today: We’re willing to do ALMOST ANYTHING to get you back. We belong together, and we want to prove our commitment to you. We’ve had a lot of great times and we want to continue to show you how much you mean to DISH Network. We’ll welcome you back with savings of over...

Even though I switched back to cable, I waited until today to cancel. I made the call. I've had Dish since the days of the 4000. I then bought a 5000, the HD module, the first DVR, the 721, the 921, 942 or whatever that thing was, I bought all of their stuff, I can't even remember all of the...

Thanks Matt. Question: Once they're 'deactivated', can I still watch what's on the HDs?

I just went and did a 2 year deal with Charter. It really pained me to do it, but I now have YES, SNY and NESN, plus they have Howard TV On Demand, so I guess it's going to be goodbye to dish. I wonder if they'll do anything when I call to cancel. I have to admit, the extra money I've been...

Well, I find it frustrating that my cable will give me (fulltime) SNY-HD, YES-HD, and NESN-HD, and Dish is now giving me no RSNs. Over the past 10 years or so, the cable companies have caught up to Dish with their HD services, and when you also add on the In Demand (or On Demand) features that...

Is there anything special that I have to do if I want to sell my two owned Dish DVRs. I seem to recall that I have to call and 'clear' them so that the new owner will not be stuck with any fees, but how do you prove that when you sell it? Do they give you a validation number or something? I...

So is the genereal concensus that SNY is going to go the way of MSG and just "never come back?"

Why can't Cable/Satellite evolve into a provider service that lets you select exactly what channels and what service you want, charge you for it, and be done? It would be so nice to say "I want <this> RSN and <this> RSN, both in HD, I want these cable channels, I want local stations from my old...

My local cable has SNY on "basic" analog cable, which I kept, so I can watch the Mets on blown up, stretch-o-vision analog CH 33. However, it's very annoying since the cable offers YES, MSG, SNY and MLB Network, all in HD. I don't have the box or pay for their HD service, but am tempted to dump...

Yeah. It looked like a game from last year. Pelf doing OK, the other teams "ace" throwing a no hitter, Pelf has a bad inning - GRAND SLAM, Mets get a few hits, but no where near enough to get close (2), then the Met bullpen gives up a meaningless solo shot while the opponents bullpen shuts out...

We Mets fans continue to take beatings. If you're still a Mets fan after all of the crap of the last few years, you're a REAL baseball fan! :D This may be the move that finally, after 15+ years, makes me dump dish. My local cable has YES and SNY and NESN and MLB Network. Now, with Dish, I get...

Thanks Scott. It is hard to believe, especially with the extra fees you get when you have two (DVRs)

I have a 922 and a 722. I usually use the 922, but the other day I was home sick and was watching the 722 and noticed the new On Demand section. It was pretty impressive, with a grid of different cable networks to select from and then the shows on that network. (I assume these shows when...
