Did you get rid Of Dish Network ???


And if so why ????




and is scott Next to get Directv




Not trying to start a flame war :p

[Steve Mehs]

No not yet, but in 2-3 months I am planning to get D*. I'll subscribe to Total Choice Plus with Locals, if my mom wants to go in half with me, I'll go for TC Premier w/Locals and have the TiVo Fee (a fee that’s worth it) waived As to the reason, just general dissatisfaction with Dish Network and wanting to change after 5 years. No, Dish hasn't really did anything to me, but I think DirecTV is the better value for what I want. And I would like an affordable and reliable dual tuner DVR that doesn't have and will never have internet access and/or interactive content. I don't need nor want that fluff, I want a rock sold DVR, from a company that knows how to write quality DVR software from a DBS provider that leaves the manufacturing and design of receivers to companies that know what they're doing. Superstations will be missed, but I’m free to point my 61.5 dish to Nimiq 1 and get a Bell receiver and broker at anytime.

right now directv is having a good offer total choice premeire and nfl Sunday ticket for three months free :) you should go for it how much time is on your dish network Contract ????

[Steve Mehs]

I don't have a contract with Dish, never had one. I'm not quite ready for D* yet, I have to payoff some other stuff first then I'll get it.

I found that with dual tuners I do not miss the superstations like I thought I would. I liked having them because they were always 1 to 3 hours off the pacific coast prime time so it made scheduleing on the dishplayer easier.

superstations are only as important as the programming. As soon as they put Startrek on our regular locals the superstations became just an unneeded expense. I could afford to pay it, but that was one Value Meal a month i'd rather have in my stomach. :)
