Seriously, what's their deal? I spoke to a rep and told him I would cancel my E* service and go with D* if they gave me a free HD dvr (like everyone else gives) and in return I would stay on their $70 a month plan. No go! I said my other option would be to keep E* and just hook up D* for September, October, and November on the basic package with a free basic receiver and then suspend service the other 9 months. They said the cheapo way was the best way for them to meet my needs. Can anyone honestly say that they would run their business this way? After hearing how ridiculous this sounded, I decided that this fall I will go over to a friends house to watch the games.
