I wouldn’t put much weight on the 90,000 number. If you follow the links back, it originates from a Fox News executive and is nothing but a guess based on the number of hits a website got.
My direct installer said that he was replacing 2-3 a day and there are 120 installers in his area with the same numbers. I think that the 90,000 is going to prove to be low. There is fear that other channels are going to do the same thing to them so first it is FNC, then ESPN? Glad to be rid of dish.
Every week it was a different technical problem. They never would replace my equipment. The new direct stuff is the size of playing cards, not the size of an old VCR!
