And next Monday, Dish is going to announce their price increases... Oh, my bad - "price changes".
Dish Satellite now under 5 Million subscribers/Sling under 2 Million.

My dad will love that and give him more reason to drop them
I did a 2-year price-lock agreement with Dish about 2 weeks ago. So, it'll be interesting to see how the price increases affect that. I've been with Dish for 29 years. I thought it was less than that, but yep, since '97.
I'm 12 mos into a price lock, I'm paying $50/mo and not sure it's worth that! Will reevaluate in 12 mos but likely cancelling.
Hard to get streaming at that price. MyEntertainment.
I remember back when I cancelled my Dish service at home a few years ago....they guy looked at my acct and said he had never seen an account as old as mine...he was really shocked. Offered me all kinds of stuff to stay active but by that time I has stopped watching Fox News and most of the stuff we watched we could stream.
we only have a year left under the promo. will be interesting to see what they offer us or if we give em the two middle fingers and leave
!!! i'm thinking it will be the two middle fingers

I bailed at the beginning of 2022 due to more price hikes and less reason to have all those cable channels showing network reruns. Got in 25 years before I bailed.
The thing about it is that we get long power outages here in the fall/winter with windstorms and trees going down on the lines. 12-17 hour long outages 2-3 times each fall/winter isn't uncommon. Got a whole home generator that runs the home during the outages. When the cable goes out (about an hour or so after the power goes out), there goes streaming (and the wifi and phones/internet). With Dish, at least I still have TV.
I know, Sat TV is sun-setting and that eventually streaming is going to be the entire thing (aside from locals OTA, which isn't possible here), but until Dish goes away, or the cost gets insane and they force me away, I'll likely be with them...

I suspect my UPS units would keep streaming etc going for quite a while. But I might have other concerns…
I just canceled dish and went back to direct... after they closed my acct without my permission and me not knowing anything about it till the t.v. went blank.

I did 2 year price lock agreement about 3 months ago, I was told that at dont apply to prices increases for packages...
they do think it $20 or $25 a month to get out of iti bet they will charge an ETF to get out of it to
Base price of service is like $230 it only 155$ cause I keep calling to get discounts when expire which getting tired of doing
i just paid dish 300.00 to get out of the contract only having them for 9 months the rep told me 20.00 a month to cancel. money well spent. one thing i don't like about dish if you want another promo they lock you into it with a contract direct does not after the first two years.
they pissed in my coffee. they cut my service without me knowing about itDid you do something in their coffee?
There are usually reasons for cutting service. Just sayin'.they pissed in my coffee. they cut my service without me knowing about it
my bill has been paid in fact i can go 5 months no worries
. a rep called back and sorted everything out .

i tried sling years ago and there was alot of digital blur. i think the max res was like 720P half of the time the DVR didn't work right. the so called tech support was awful. and good luck getting your coin back it's a prepaid service.
