HuskerShark Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 Just got off the phone with DISH.The person I spoke with said they are recieving a lot of calls from unhappy customers.Got a small reduction on my bill for a year,and a free college football channel.Nice,but may still drop them,if problem isn't solved soon. My rep said basically the same thing. I probably wasn't angry enough because I didn't demand a reduction on my bill. Probably doesn't help that I still have almost 23 months left on my contract.... Probably not much leverage there... Quote Link to comment

Probably not much leverage there... Wow! That's NUTZ! 23 mos left! Either you got it a month ago or are willing to buy anything. I'm a direct tv subscriber. Have been for almost 12 years. After the initial 12 months, I can cancel at any time. During my time with them I've been given plenty of free trial periods. Everything from 12 mos. of showtime to 3 months of hbo. And 4 free weekends of nfl packaging. I know it's higher priced than dish but I feel I get my money's worth. Especially with the new Thursday night slate the nfl adopted. Have all the local channels in my area. So on a given Sunday I can get a choice of about 4-6 games with east and west coast games along with my local games! Quote Link to comment

I pay under $34 for my programming and I have a free sports package, free hbo, starz, shotime, etc. I also have Blockbuster at Home free for 3 months. I have all of the ESPN channels, every Fox Sports channel there is, the Pac12 Network, BTN (if they get the contract settled), etc. I think I'm getting my money's worth. Then when football and basketball season is over, I will lower my subscription to a plan that only costs $14.99/mo and still have ESPN plus locals which is basically all I ever watch anyways.

Husker John Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 Just got off the chat line with DISH network.......they're gonna give me five bucks off a month for 6 months because of the BTN disruption......all they would say is that DISH is still under negotiations with BTN......still thinking about dumping DISH after my contract expires with them.
