Had been with them over 6 years, but now they want me to wait 60 days before they will sign me up. And I was always current in paying my bill...Weird.

If you have internet service wouldn’t Netflix make more sense at 9.99 mo or whatever it is now? My son uses computer to put it on big tv screen. You can still get TV shows and other stuff....I know people who like it better than cable or paying high prices to Dish.

Sign up as a new service under spouse's name.
You'll probably get some free bees...

I signed with Comcast and decided I didnt like it as much as DISH.

But DISH says I have to wait 60 days before I can get DISH again.

Not sure of the logic. After 60 days with the new carrier (Comcast), I might get used to it and decide I dont really need to change back to DISH.

You're fixing to get gouged....again.

I haven't owned a TV or had a cable connection or the dish since 1985.

I can heartily recommend that to anyone.

Does Direct TV have any sign up special? Sometimes, its beneficial to jump from one provider to another. Depending on costs or options.

You will probably qualify for new member discounts at the end of your wait period. It stinks that loyal customers subsidize the new members for Verizon/DirecTV/Cable, etc. for a couple of years.

I watch TV on my laptop sometimes for free, from some websites with wireless internet.

They must have a 60 day wait limit on reapplying to renew so they can sign you up for another two year contract.

Buy a good book?

If my mother didn’t live with me I would’ve cancelled Direct TV a couple of years ago.

Are you trying to get some sort of new customer sign-up bonus?

Don’t bother...

I gave up cable TV and have not missed it

There is SO MUCH to watch on youtube it is incredible. I learned how to fix my concrete floor in the garage, repair my septic pipes, fix my motircycle and so much more... try it! its much better to learn new stuff. Gardenign, landscapign, everything... and that’s just youtube!
If I want to watch a movie there are a ton of good sites like netflix and many free ones

And if you get a cheep $10 antenna you would be surprised how many digital stations there are for free now. Pay for an expenives powered antenna and you will probably get 10 good ones at least!

Probably some sort of regulatory requirement imposed by the government.

Now, see? You got the DTs and you’ve been handed a buffer; take advantage of that.

I had withdrawal when we decided to go streaming but was so pissed at DirecTv I got over it in a few weeks (don’t get me going on Dish...please don’t re-sign with those evil bastards... I have them on tape, a MANAGER, telling me that they’ll “charge whatever they want” without regard to packages/deals).

I wish I’d been prevented from buying smokes for 60 days the first time I quit; might have made a difference.

I hope many others follow suit (cancel satellite/cable); it needs to happen to cut the heads off the lib media.

Dish is the worst run cable company. Be glad you are rid of them.
