I thought I had stated the lack of HD for Fox 40 was the main reason for leaving, was this missed?

What's missing is whether you are talking about Dish not having Fox40 HD or Fox in Sacramento not being HD at all. Many 622/722 users are also using OTA in conjunction with their Dish receiver. OTA can be split out to all your other tvs as well. If you are leaving just because of a LiL and have not thought about OTA, then here is the suggestion. OTA can be recorded on the DVR, moved to an external drive, and looks great.

As for fees and expenses for multiple hookups, you won't avoid those unless you go totally OTA.

Good luck.

I have to disagree with this post. Being back with cable has been great for me. My locals in HD, External HD on my DVR, Hell yesterday I added a second HD reciever. All I had to do was take one of my recievers and swap it for the HD reciever. NO additional charge. Can you do that with DISH?

Anyways I am so sick of posters responding to these posts with dont let the door hit you and you will be back. Ultimatly everyone has a choice about providers. As a community we should support are fellow members in their choices and offer advise on way or another, but to berate them for their choices is just unwarranted.

With that said. To the OP I support your choice, and if you chose Cable, OTA, DTV, or eventually go back to Dish I will support that choice as well.

To all the other unsupportive posters, just think of it this way, by the OP posting his reasons for dropping E* it ultimatly may help you out as he is publishing his reasons nationwide and that can draw providers attention.

Well said... I was harassed for telling my E* exit story as well. I was told not to let the door hit me on the way out.... blah blah blah. I was psychologically evaluated on here and told I needed reassurance for my decision to leave Dish, and that is why I told my story. It was a decision I couldn't make on my own apparently. These Dish fanboys sure are passionate about their service, aren't they? They get downright angry when somebody leaves.

It is true that the fanboys should be thanking us for the mass exodus from Dish. It will only set off alarm bells with E* and probably improve their service. Why do they take it to heart when they read about fellow Dish subscribers leaving?

Do they feel so emotionally overwhelmed about their Long Distance carrier or garbage pickup service? I am doubtful.
