E* does not want to lose your service over a tech problem, believe me....
Well, the way I see it, you have two choices:
a) threaten to cancel...usually works.
b) sign up for the Dish Home Protection Plan. $5.99 per month, discounts your service call to $29 and covers all of your equipment.
I say go for the combo platter. Call and threaten to disconnect unless they give you a month free of the protection plan and a free service call. This way, when they come out to fix it, anything they have to replace (ie a switch) will be covered. There is no commitment to keep the protection plan, so just be sure to cancel after the month is over. (or the second the tech leaves....)
