Orbitsat.com now Dish/Voom only?

This may be old news, but I just visited orbitsat.com and see that they've stopped carrying DirecTv. Someone over there must be pretty unhappy. They really let DirecTv have it!

So it is not all fantasy land in DirecTv land...

Wow...talk about calling the bluff...

I thought E* also charged back its dealers, but with one exception: E* dealers can require their own one-year contracts on the front end to cover chargebacks. (Indeed, that's why DHA ads say "no commitment from Dish Network", not "no commitment" period.) So what's the real deal here?

Also, stumbling around their site I found they're still selling D*, right alongside E* and V*, thru www.digitalsat.com (which redirects to a part of the Orbit site). Sounds like a ploy to me...

They did not deny that they were still selling D*. They claimed that D* was trying to terminate their services because they started selling E* and V*.

The very first line of their page: "We no Longer Sell or Support DIRECTV. 'The Bully'". Yet they still sell D* on their other site--perhaps thru a subsidiary?
