Why do we still have to sit through commercials?

Just switch from Directv to Dishnetwork every two years.

You will always get 3 months free movie channels, new equipment every two years and will also save money.

Only suckers pay full price so they can feel "loyal"...smart consumers are loyal to the best deal.

I flip people from one product to the other every day that end up getting new equipment and save 30-40 dollars a month...more than that if you figure in
the cost savings the first three months of free movie channels.

Shit, that also gets you Sunday ticket for free every other year because they include it for new customers.

If you want Sunday ticket the off year, have them run a fresh line to the spot where your dish receiver will go so you can keep the dtv line active (tell them to leave the dtv dish up) and use a friends receiver during st time and split the cost...or just sign up for it on a ps3.

If you have a friend that always has the other company, you can always use this trick by NEVER paying for Sunday ticket because one or the other would always have it for free and both of you would always be on a "new customer offer"

Both of you will need to switch providers every two years right before the football season starts.

Free Sunday ticket
Lower monthly bills
Free movie channels
New equipment every two years

You can thank me later.

1. Dish Network SUCKS
2. Switching is a pain in the ass, who wants to do that?
3. Are you recommending that people commit fraud to obtain Sunday Ticket?
4. DirectTV gives me what I want when I want it at a fair price and their service has been excellent over the 10+ years I've had them.

1) why do you say that? Our service call ratio is pretty much equal for both providers.
2) Switching isn't a pain in the ass if you go through a retailer. Not at all.
3) It's not fraud if you have one of your receivers "in the motorhome"
4) ive had them for about 10 years, too. Always been happy, but if both companies offered Sunday ticket, why not switch. For Directv you save 31 bucks your first year and 16 the second...for dish you save 31 the first year.

That's $564 you save over the 2 years with dtv and just under 400 for dish.

Plus the Sunday ticket/movie channel savings.

To most, that's significant.

I'm sure some will find your suggestion helpful. Responding only for myself here:
1.Channel selection on Dish is for shit. Sports selection is for shit.
2. Who wants to have different boxes, channel numbers, etc. every 2 years? We have several DVRs that are chock full of movies and shows the kids watch. Wouldn't want to turn those in and lose them.
3. Fraud to save a few bucks. No thanks.
4.That isn't near enough $ for all that hassle and/or to be stuck with an inferior service for 2 years at a time.

I agree with #1
2) everyone should want new boxes every two years, especially with the way technology changes.
3) you wouldn't even have to switch boxes. Dtv gives you a code to watch st remotely. Ps3, iPad etc. It's even in hd. That's not "fraud"...it's allowed.
4) I can respect that.

Fair enough. You know your shit and those that are interested would do well to conduct their business through you where possible.
