View Full Version : Rochester, NY Locals on Dish?

I was just shopping next to my local Radio Shack and dropped in to see what was new.

The guy behind the counter asked if he could help and I said "just browsing." He then said "How about getting Dish Network"....my reply, "I've had it for over five years, but I wish they would get the locals."

His reply was that Dish was adding Rochester, NY locals in September (no doubt in his mind!). Now, this is news to me since I follow this and several other boards on the subject and also the Dish stock boards, since I own a bunch.

I think this guy had a severe care of rectal myopia (had his head up his...) since I have seen no announcement from Dish on this. Perhaps he is in the process of being trained from his last job ....Do you want fries with that?.:rolling:

Seriously, Dish has changed it mind on this subject previously...has anyone heard about this "possibility"?

Yes Karl, I was aware of that and asked him if he wasn't mistaking DirecTV for Dish..."No".

BTW, if you see my brother driving his Saab on Wanderwood Way please wave to him on my behalf.

I was just up around your neck of the woods last week Monday. I'm sure you saw this already, but Rochester isn't listed.
