So DirectTV is offering NFL Sunday Ticket to subscribers for free. Not clear, but I am thinking this is just for "New" customers. If they can offer this up for free...what is Dish doing?

gotta love the false advertising there
$45 increase after 3 months? Only if you keep the free movie channels (you can drop them no charge)
$480 term fee? Sure if you cancel in the 1st month
$2500 2 year contract? Thats over $100 a month.....so 1st year discount makes it $30-$40 a month. so those 2nd year discounts must make it go really up
Cripes I've had Directv for 32 months now and I can assure I havent paid even close to that (way less than that)
Commiecast has a 39.99 package I see all the time on tv and in ads....yep and after 6 months it jumps to 79.99 and after a year it goes to "regular price".....but they dont list the price.

So, that makes it misleading, not false, which most of these ads by TV providers are anyway...
I thought I already did...Not sure what that has to do with the Urlacher ad. It's misleading because the numbers shown may be correct, but they're all basically a worst case scenario, which the commercial fails to say.

I was actually restating and agreeing with you about the content, but it was posted on the Dish forum as a shot at DirecTV. The implication for that use would be that Dish isn't the same, but we all know that is not the case.

Sometimes a thread gets so many posts in it that is can cause issues for the server so that why today we introduce The Song Name Game Part 3!
So let the game continue!
The last song was added by Bobby who posted...
One Meat Ball - Andrews Sisters
CONTINUE ON AND HAVE FUN! WELCOME HOME TO SATELLITEGUYS.US!
Here are the original rules for the game as posted by WebbyDude back in 2006. http://www.satelliteguys.us/threads/68645-Song-Name-Game
Just name a song title and the band who performed it. The next person does the same thing, but needs to list a song title or band name which includes a word from the previous entry. Pick songs from any genre.
Example:
Long Live Rock and Roll -- Rainbow
Rainbow in the Dark -- Dio
Another example:
Ride the Lightning -- Metallica
Lightning Strikes -- Ozzy Osbourne
Get it?
An additional note: we all know that song titles, sometimes, use profane words. Because this is a family friendly website it is advised that you clean up that title up a bit. This is accomplished by using something like sh!t instead of the real word. Thanks....

I know HipKat said that they were working on conversions but we got the official news yesterday right from Dish that starting next month all DMA's will be on the western arc, and all customers will be assigned to that. That's gonna mean a lot of customers around here aren't gonna get Dish unless there are exceptions. Too many mountains and trees.

Really excited for this season with Kentucky having a new coach and some really exciting recruits. Probably won't last long, but here's hoping this season is great.

It's dead, they just don't know it yet. They killed it by forcing DRM on it, and that TOTALLY botched implementing it.
There is absolutely NO compelling reason for anybody to switch to ATSC3.0. They only want it as a total and complete money grab.

WHAT ABOUT THE INTERNET PART OF IT. NO ONE WANTS A BOX CONNECTED TO THE INTERNET EITHER.

I was bewildered with all the new DISH TV "Bonus View" channels, so I put together a web page table with all the info I could find. It's at:
https://anythingpeaceful.org/dishtv/DISH_TV_Bonus_View_Channels.html
Here's a partial screenshot of the table, as sorted by Channel Name. (You can click on a column header to sort.)
If you have any corrections or suggestions, please post here.
