So its all Charlie's fault that you paid full boat? Didn't get any deals? I don't think so..
While Dish has issues with delivering their gear and software issues to boot, its only TV for crying out loud.. Don't you think its time to get a life.. Get over it.. Its time to move on and smell the roses, eventually it will all be over, the channels will be back, rates will go up somewhere along the line as sure as the sun will shine tomorrow (assuming no clouds of course) And the software will get fixed, and receivers will be plentiful.
Yeah. It's only TV. But, he pays E for it, and it shouldn't have so many issues. Such a minor thing as TV should be almost effortless. But, for him, it hasn't been that way with E. For you, it seems it has.
If he's happier with a different provider, why berate him? Why should anyone put up with broken promises, faulty equipment, as well as less desirable programming and/or higher prices in some instances, if that's how they feel they've been treated.
I cannot understand the constant knee-jerk defense of E, or any satellite or cable provider.
It's a f'ing company, fer cryin out loud. If they don't provide the best value for a particular subscriber(that's VALUE, not just price), then they switch to one that does. No emotion. No attachments. Easy decision. Let them share the reasons for their decisions without being personally offended by their choice of a provider other than the one you chose. Sheesh.
