NPS - Not selling CBand Subs - NONE!

[trinidex]

Hey guys, hope you don't mind - this is a little bit of a double-up on http://www.satelliteguys.us/4dtv-discussion/201704-nps-no-longer-offering-annual-subscriptions.html

BUT I though I should point out - they won't sell ANY term subsription, not just annual.

What utter b*st*rds!

When I got a rep he told me no more annual subs, so I said, OK, I'll have 3 months (that's how I do it anyway!).

No go!

No subs at all!

Hear what though - he'll set me up with COMPLIMENTARY SUBS whilst he organises the installation of my Dish Network system!

ERM NO!

I sure hope the other providers can do something - if I can help/lobby in anyway - let me know!

NPS will no longer be selling annual subscriptions to the C-Band Programming services that we offer due to the uncertain future availabilty of subscription channels we sell. We will continue to offer 1 month, 3 month, 6 month services.

I called back and "Chris" won't budge :rant:

I called Satellite Communication Source - I think they are an NPS reseller.

They gave me what I wanted, no fuss, no pressure, no nothing.

At least the wife won't kill me now

This is not the time to deal with an NPS reseller, but it's your money.

nps subscriptions

Just called NPS and they said they are still selling 3 and 6 months subs,but gave me the sell about Motorola getting out of C band. I asked them about DSR-410 systems and they said that Motorola also supports that system.(does Motorola support this system also) I think they lie worse than politicians.

It makes me glad I subbed through Skyvision.

 

[Mr Tony]

The DSR410 is through Motorola also but is based just on W5 setups

Thanks Iceberg,too bad motorola supports both,as if Motorola quits C band,it would have been nice to have an alternate to the Pizzas. Too bad about NPS,as they seemed to be a little cheaper and have a few channels that the other two doesn't have,but will change over to which ever is the cheapest of the other two.

Using a 4DTV vs a DSR-410 give you more choices and better pricing. The 410 is designed for those who want a easy to use (like pizza) no frills one satellite system. They both have there strong points for the situation it's used in.

Motorola isnt quitting C-Band
NPS is

The 410 is through Skyvision who is actively in the C-Band business

NPS Billing

I got my NPS bill yesterday in an NPS envelope (not All American Direct).
The billing was for a 12 month period for the Denver and the G3 network stations.
My sub end 4/1/10, so I have time to watch this play and switch to someone else.
Unfortunatley, they talked into a Pizza Dish several years ago, only because of stations my wife wanted to watch while I not home. I don't like the high price.
