I'm with Dish on this. I had lousy service with DirectTV and went to Dish and always can get through to them for technical assistance

Interesting. We had Dish a number of years back and switched to DirecTV because of lousy Dish service. We have been quite happy with DirecTV since. Guess is goes to show that no company can be all things to all people.

By the way, to the DirecTV subscribers, did you all see the notices scrolling along certain channels concerning the Dish network losing channels? We saw them a number of times. I was under the impression that the Dish/DirecTV deal did not go through, yet there were notices for Dish on DirecTV.

Anyone else?

That was Viacom putting the messages on their feed that went out to everyone. I noticed it first last weekend.

Interestingly enough, as soon as the message would start scrolling, Dish would black out that portion of the screen. I initially thought some hacker was getting into their (Dish) system. Only after I checked online did I see there was corporate warfare going on.

I saw the notices on local cable. Vilecom added them to the raw feed.
