Direct TV informed me this morning that it would be after the first of the year before they could get to me. I may just go to antenna and say to heck with satellite altogether. But Dish did give me $15.00 a month credit for 3 months. And then what if Direct pulls the same thing after a bunch of people switch over to them and are hooked into a 2 year contract?

I just had DISH installed today from Direct. I hardly watch TV anymore. I called DISH in my more than perturbed state about FOX. The guy on the other end said he knew Fox was popular but didn’t realize how popular given all the calls. I also put in a request that they have TCT Christian Television on their line up. If you are so inclined, please make that request as well if you are calling DISH. Thanks

That is exactly what I am worried about. That most people will come to rely upon a single carrier, and then when it becomes beyond competition they will raise their rates incredibly.

Dish is not the greatest company ever, it seems, but I think that the margins upon which it exists compared to another company or indeed other companies (and by the way, we DO need more competition out there) are slim at best and need to be balanced upon what the various media networks are asking for compared to what they bring in.
