[Sans-Culotte]

I dropped Dish after they lost Voom - nothing to watch became even less. While I am still pissed about losing VOOM, I have never had a problem with DiSH service. Unlike cable, it just never seems to break down. Sure, I have outages when storms move in, but it always clears up when the storms pass. With cable, I constantly needed people to come out and fix something, and it always took a long time, and I had to miss work, etc.

If something goes wrong with DiSH, like some of my channels "drop off" (rare), their customer service people always know what to do to get me back on track. The only other issue is when the receiver breaks down, and they usually have one shipped to arrive faster than a cable repairman.

My main gripe is the price. I miss my old C-band and amazingly cheap a la carte programming. I just wish TCM and the Fox Movie Channel would go HD. I would have plenty to watch then.
