Rename Your Town 'DISH,' Get Free Satellite TV for 10 Years

[Bizzach]

Here's what I want to know: how would they actually execute this? Go door-to-door installing systems?
And what about new residents? Let's say someone moves to the town a week after it all gets going - do they get a free system as well??

I get the distinct feeling that Darkman is a Dish employee, because no one in their right mind can be into this nonsense that dish is talking about.
...

Darkman is DISH employee.. - Ya.. Right!!!
AHAHA..
( i d say no one in their right mind can say something like that, expecially if one have been around.... ... if one is a Newbie - one could be forgiven i suppose )

Dude.. it's adveritizing stunt.. that's all it is .. to bring some attention...

Other than that .. AT 60 is better than nothing.. (to me anyhow.. if had NO TV.. and someone was giving me AT 60 for FREE for 10 years - i would not have minded .. but that's me anyways..)

Besides - i am sure one would be able to upgrade to a higher package if wanted.. i am sure..
For the price of course.. not all things in life are FREE after all, you know...

Peace....

Well the PR is working for Dish in Olrando.

The local news is about to run a story about it on the 5 o' clock news...

Dish must be loving the free press

And there you go, at least someone around here is finally getting it! If a town bites all the better, but it's all about people hearing the name Dish. Plus from what I hear, there is a town in Georgia looking into it!

I say the folks in Hell, Michigan should take Charlie up on this offer. After all...what's the difference?

 

[Larry]

Maybe just hyphenate. Dish-Hell, Michigan.

I figured earlier today that when they showed that on our local news that they were doing it to get free publicity and taking the chance that no huge town would actually take the offer. Whats next, naming a town Echostar 1, another Echostar 2, etc? It is a very unique interesting idea though.

If I lived in Dishman Springs, Kentucky, I would be contacting Dish. All they have to do is black out some letters on their "Welcome to Dishman" sign and on the Post Office.

There is also Dishaw, New York.

Disque, Washington
Disco - in three states Wisconsin, Illinois, and Michigan
Dissen, Missouri

Or perhaps Direct, Texas

Chris from DBSTalk posted this one first:

"A couple of takers already."

Interested residents from Brookvale, an area of about 200 people near the base of Mount Evans, and the upstate New York town of Virgil, population 2,287, have contacted EchoStar as potential candidates.

Doesn't virgil need to get Ted DiBiase's permission first?

 

[Darkman]

ahaha.. That actually is Funny

(this virgil is as white though as white can get)

I do NOT ask permission.. - i just use logic.. and proper procedures - Proper credits were given after all!

P.S. I hope you ment me above (and not virgil = those towns, Ted DiBiase = high goverments, and legal thingies) .. AHAHA

 

[jlhugh]

This was actually in my town's newspaper today. I didn't think that would ever happen. Dish is getting lots of free press from this.

 

[Darkman]

Sorry.. - Now i see in my own post there "town of Virgil"

Gotcha!

 

[satellite_crazy_bob]

This was in todays Salem News (Salem Massachusetts)

Gee, this could start a trend. How about a town for Lesbians called Kotex. Probably would need to be a wet climate with good drainage. Let me think on this a bit and I could probably come up with some more.

note: just a joke only :

 

[Purogamer]

With all the nonsense going on at dish, and no new info of any importance, who's ready for that next chat?? Huh? HUH???

With a little luck I'll be out of town and won't even be tempted to watch it.

 

[Stargazer]

Is there no town named "Dish" already?

 

[LER]
