Dish TV has eliminated a number of stations (unfortunately, MSNBC was not one of them).

From their website:

"Our contract with Turner Networks (Turner) has expired and they have removed CNN, Cartoon Network, Boomerang, CNN en Español, Headline News, truTV, and Turner Classic Movies from DISH’s channel lineup

At DISH, we believe the customer should always come first. That’s why we work hard to bring you the best programming at a fair value. Learn more about our commitment to you."

Should I switch to DirectTV?

Because I think they also told that to my mother, who is now stuck being told as a ‘later’ thing, oh, didn’t you read this part?

Does it not occur to you I’m mentioning this to you out of a kindness? I really did not have to say a thing.

If you are right fine, but if it’s a bait and switch you might never know.

Was trying to prevent you from getting a bill.

There is no bait and switch — thousands of RV owners have used it for years. Often enabling only during the travel season. This was the original reason for no-contract — so they could stop and start it at will.

I have no cable tv or sat and stream from the Internet only.

That is not a bad price at all. However, i have heard horror stories about Comcast which is why I hestitate to sign on with them. I’ll explore freestanding DSL first before I do Comcast.

Honestly haven’t had many problems with Comcast at all. It’s been a few years since I’ve needed a service call and that was to have them come out and replace the line that was cut by my neighbor’s sprinkler service when they were installing his sprinklers.

Beyond that, Comcast has been rock-solid here 30 miles SW of Shitcago.

LMAO!! I haven’t seen that one! Sal lost it...

Go to the left side of the Youtube screen and watch “Public Speaking on Novocaine.” They shot Murr up with the stuff and had him give a cooking demonstration.

That show always makes me laugh until I have tears.

noted this a few days ago.

CNN and HLN were replaced with MSNBC.

no reason to switch. Call Dish and get a discount during disputes. Switching to Direct only increases CNN ratings.

As it stands now, TEN MILLION homes no longer have CNN. JUST BEFORE THE ELECTION!
