More likely Dish realizes that for every sub complaining there are 10 to 100 subs out there that have the same complaint and aren't calling, emailing, or posting here. (Maybe they're just leaving.)
Time to draw a line in the sand with Ergen

If your going to draw a line in the sand I say make it May 1st.
LOTS of stuff coming in April.
If they don't have what you like then make your move.
But other then Speed HD I think lots of folks are going to be very happy this month.

Maybe ERGEN should pull his head out of the sand instead. When the heck will he add more national 3D superhighdefinition holographic transducing hallucinogenic channels?! My union and I are switching to D* if he doesn't.
they should extend the free HD from 6 months to 9 months for those that Have Got NOTHING over the past 3 months and counting , just do this and most people will be happy ( the USA/SCI-FI HD fiasco deserves this Much )
Yeah, even I've been getting irritated, and I am always on the "Quit yer bitchin'" patrol.
I was kind of hoping he had something big up his sleeve, but you'd think it would have coincided with the new HD packages.
I checked out Direct- would only save me a buck or two a month, and I'd lose a few channels I watch pretty often. 90% of the HD channels Direct has over DISH I don't watch. So, I'll stick with DISH and stew over all this inactivity. I think those of us that have been with DISH for a long time have been spoiled...we remember the days when you got a new channel every month.
If he can really deliver on IFC-HD, all will be forgiven...
Locals are the big priority right now. Team Summit is coming up and the Dish executives want to avoid the room full of angry Dish retailers at all costs. Locals in HD are the sell, not individual HD channels. Every market that they can squeeze on to a spot beam somewhere will go up before Team Summit if Dish can do it.
When a new client goes to a retailer they probably have no idea what is available in HD besides the local channels. Only once they get the service installed and do research do they find out what they are missing...

Yep, I definitely had my tiara (spelling) on real snug and my panties in a huge knot.
I was way way way over the top.
And I also used to be one of those who wanted to tell the drama queens they knew where the door was.
But what I've learned is that we all have our different breaking-points.
The reality is that I've haven't "drawn a line in the sand" with Ergen but I've drawn a line in the sand with myself.
I really like my HD DVR and really like Dish Network on the whole better than Directv.
But I've just reached a point that if Charlie can't/won't/doesn't get it done, then I'm going to leave. And I by no means expect him to beg me to stay. He doesn't know me from a hole in the ground as the cliche goes.
My apologies for being such a DQ the other day.
I must say D* must be doing something right. I have home security cams and the monitor is near the main TV so it's just like having my front window wide open 24/ 7. The last few weeks I've been seeing D* branded vans like crazy going up and down my street. Even seen them parked at several neighbors' homes. Almost nothing from cable.
Maybe everybody's upgrading to HD. Maybe their sales pitch is better than BHN. And almost nobody is a new sub for Knology, though I do see a few trucks.
I guess part of the reason I don't see Dish so much is because they use a lot of sub contractors around here. Still, it doesn't seem to me that there is an uptick in E* subs because the dishes across the street seem to be pointing the other way (literally & figuratively).
Ok, but at least D* has better retention offers. At least that's been my family's experience.
