So I got a phonecall from a dish network csr desperately trying to get me
to upgrade my 942 to a leased 622. I told him i paid $700 for it 9 months ago
and there was no way this was going to happen. He was willing to go all
the way down to a direct swap (i.e. 0 dollars) but the new receiver would
be leased. I told him that there was absolutely no way that was going to
happen and at a minimum i would wait till they had the promotion for people
that wanted to own a 622. He said that was 30 to 60 days away.
He still continued to push all the new HD channels including chicago locals.
I informed him i already got CBS HD, and everything else came in perfectly
via OTA, he did not want to hear that either. He especially did not want to
hear me complain that PBS HD (wttw) was not on the list of chicago HD
locals.
I told him i would be happy to send him my old 6000u back in trade for
a leased 622, he wanted no part of that either.
I think that dish has filled up the supply channel and is looking to bump
as many people up to the next HD package.
Too many people got burned on the 942 and it is my guess that dish
is going to have to do something soon.
