Why the rush to switch?
To my knowledge DISH does not pay to compensate for penalties when leaving another provider if that's what you are looking for. Otherwise their deals are clearly seen at Dish.com and are about the same they have been for awhile now.
General disappointment with a number of things, including Series (Timer) behavior, Mobile App crappiness when downloading recordings for offline viewing, and the fact that I am no longer required to have DirecTV to get "unlimited" data on AT&T Wireless. I chose DirecTV to save money and get the good data plan.
Thanks for the feedback. I have found some deals which include some sizable gift cards, even if you aren't switching, and those would probably cover most of the cost of cancelling DirecTV, if that is what I decide to do. Now I guess I just need to make that decision.
The fact that I cannot add new Series that work properly and transcoded recordings do not play back properly on my wife's iPhone are pretty big deals in my book. I am going to give DirecTV a chance to fix things, but so far they seem hapless.
