"I’ve had Dish for over ten years. I don’t have any complaints. I like that they play hardball with the programming providers instead of just rolling over and increasing fees to their customers."

I've never had Dish but I applaud their stance of fighting back against the PP's blackmail tricks to get subscribers paying ever higher prices for programming.

Currently we have Time Warner and they are in a battle with 2 networks over pricing. Every prime time show I watch in HD on either of those channels has to run a stream of text at the top of the screen explaining how we need to contact Time Warner to keep these channels. What is annoying is that to do so they must reduce the picture size from full HD screen to a cropped boxed screen.

Very annoying!

Are you in Central Ohio or is that happening in other parts of the country too?
