I've been very happy as a Dish Customer for the past 5 years and am excited about the upcoming Hopper/Joey DVR...
However I've recently purchased a new 3D television and am really excited to start seeing some content on it. I'm not a big fan of purchasing DVDs... I like Dish's Blockbuster service for movies and can never see me really investing in owning physical media again. It just takes up to much space.
What I really want is more 3D content... and it seems like Dish is completely out of the game here. DirecTv has several channels including ESPN3D. Why can't Dish put a few more out there? Is there any plan to do so?
The final straw was when I was watching my beloved Ohio State Buckeyes play Michigan last week. Not only did we lose, but the loss would have been easier to take if I was at least enjoying the ESPN3D that the announcers were raving about...
I called and complained to Dish late last year and they tried to tell me that they had 3D on my 722... if I wanted to watch Kung Fu Panda (or some such movie) and pay $5 to see it. Seriously? I want some linear channels--much like how HDNet was at the beginning of the decade.
If I have to call our a satellite person to come out and swap at satellite boxes for the Hopper/Joey, I'm actually leaning more towards going to DirecTV... with them I'm getting the 3D content in addition to new customer pricing. Perhaps I'll give DirecTv a chance for 2 years and then come back to Dish.
Does anyone have any inside info on 3D on Dish? If someone knows something is happening in the next 6 months I'll wait. If not, I'm switching.
