I finally switched from Dish to Direct today after being with Dish for over 12 years. I had no complaints or problems with Dish until I got HD last year. All I heard from Dish was excuses (mostly lies) why they couldn't show all of the baseball games on SNY in HD and why they don't have MSG in HD yet. Maybe in a few years if Dish ever fixes it problems with its sports in HD I might come back but after watching a baseball game on Direct tonight in HD I have to say that Direct's picture looked so much better in HD then Dish's did.
Switched after 12 years

I also switched from Dish in Jun. Had no problems with them but wanted the MRV, Got tired of E* trying to figure it out. I now have 2 HR24s and love it, I like everything about D* better.
nope
Not taking the bate Hemi. Head back to the D* side w/ your buddy Hart5150.
Whats a bad reason?

I don't think I know, Hart?
But not an unreasonable question. Whats your idea of a bad reason?
Sports related is obviously a good reason to you.

Bad reasons would be:
Installer brings no HR24s to install only older HR2xs that are refurbished and slower to operate.
After your"special deals" ends you find it's alot more expensive with DirecTV than Dishnetwork for programming.
When you replace a receiver you find out later your under a "new" 24 month contract.
That's a few.

Thank you, Those would be bad.
But these are reasons your sorry you switched, Not good reasons for switching.
flame war
He's the one that started the flame war the other day. Sports isn't a good reason for me since I don't care about it. But it is for others. I have stated many of the reasons I stay in the thread http://www.satelliteguys.us/dish-network-forum/223103-reasons-not-jump-ship.html

Replacing a receiver does not extend your contract. Upgrading a receiver does.Bad reasons would be:

Happens. Sometimes depends on the setup and area. My area only does 24s, especially for MRV installs.

If you consider $2-3 a lot
When you replace a receiver you find out later your under a "new" 24 month contract.
If it is a defective replacement that is not true. If it is an upgrade to a new receiver, then yes. Guess what, Dish extends your contract also if you upgrade, unless you purchase it.
That's a few.
$17 additional HDDVR receiver fee vs. $5 plus MRV makes it more than worth while.
S~
Yes I thought that was a plus when I was with DirecTV.Imagine my surprise when I tried to view a game that was being played only to find it blacked out and told to view the games that are being played I need to purchase MLB Extra Innings?.:rant:
replacing receiver with Dtv does extend your contract. Of course Dtv customer rep don't telly you that. Even if you purchase your own receiver and add it on your account it still extends your contract.
