Dumping Dish Notwork
 
For the last 8 months, Dish Notwork has been giving us fits. When we change the channel we get an error message "searching for sattelite signal". After a few reboots, up and down channel button and you are required to pay for this channel, it would function again.

Today it would not come back around at all.

After 3 hours on the phone with Haji, he informed me the "only" option was to have a tech come out. When I told him there WAS another option called Direct TV, and we wanted our service disconnected, he said he was transferring us to a customer relations representative. Then he hung up on us.

Direct TV will be installed Thursday. I have 6 years experience with them in the past. They were less than perfect, but the last 8 months of Dish Notwork has been un****ingbelievable.

My head hurts. I think I need a pill.

Did you have their 1080p service?

DTV is the way to go, 1000 times better than cable and DNW.....

Thanks Skip, I have thought about you alot today.

Cable is not available here in the boonies, but if it were, I'd have it for the internet more than the TV.

Wish I saw this about an hour ago. I just switched from DirecTV to Dish Network. Phone company bundled everything up for me and DirecTV wanted to charge me a bunch to upgrade to HD. The price was right to change, hope I don't regret it for the service.

Dish network would be fine if it worked. That's the whole problem.

It just DOES NOT WORK. It doesn't work.

The only problem I had with Direct TV was a real bad rain storm, or go out to sweep snow off the dish. At least it worked.

Cancel if you can. I hope you have better luck with Dish, but I would not count on it.

DTV doesn't have 1080p as far as I know. I saw some ads for 1080p on Dish Network and it briefly made me feel jealous.

I've had dish network for over a year now with no problems and just love it. Had it previously at another location and had all the similar problems Dinny mentioned. The difference I think is the installation. This time the techs knew what they were doing and I have a good location out of the wind. Previously the dish was exposed and a would get blown off signal constantly.

Dish network does have 1080p but just on their video on demand purchases. Otherwise it is 1080i, but because my AV receiver has an upconverter, all HD signals are viewed as 1080p. It's like watching a Bluray all the time. Very sweet

Standing on the cutting edge of technology is expensive and makes my feet bleed.

I'm waiting to make the jump to HD. I don't know why. Maybe that's why I'm still waiting.

Once you see a football game in HD you won't want to watch it any other way.

If you are going to want HD I'd go ahead and get it while you are switching. They will give you an HD dish and DVR I think. Once you're an established customer neither company will give you shit.

720p is good enough for me. It makes standard definition look blurry.
