One must weigh all aspects of the choice in carrier. Certain channels may carry more weight than others. Cost. Hardware. These are all things to be considered.
If the only difference between Dish and DirecTV, Comcast, or U-verse was just 3D or the 3D Olympic channel, the choice would be easy. But, for me, they carry a channel not available on DirecTV that is the most-watched channel in my household. Plus, they carry it in HD which is not available on ANY carrier in my area. So, my only choice is to make my displeasure heard, and desires known, through written word.
Well said, a point I have made in the past. You can find things you don't like with any carrier, trick is to pick the best one for you. Direct TV still does not allow you to use HBO GO for instance, a service I use all the time. For me I'll trade no 3D for that and channels in HD that we watch, and Distants etc... . Others have different priorities, maybe NFL Sunday Ticket etc.....Still, Dish should have had 3D available for the Olympics if just for appearance sake.
