I'm no longer a customer of Charlies', but I will say that he usually does end up on top. If it wasn't for price point for the channels I wanted +Internet, I'd still be with Dish. I was very satisfied with the product and his "tactics" ;) .

I really don't think there's any immediate danger of them shutting off the DVR functionality if there is still a chance for the entire appellate court to hear the case. But I will say that this is a HUGE loss for E*. They had already been trying to upgrade people to mpeg4 receivers, so there...

I agree on this. People are stuck on the fact he said it is a "2-family house." He NEVER said he was living in both addresses. In fact he only said his family is occupying the basement & 1st Floor, which is only 1 of the 2 addresses located at that location. We have a lot of these in our...

I thought the OP's situation was: 1) Living in a 2-family home. 2) His family occupies the lower unit, which includes a basement living area (1 receiver), and a 1st-Floor living area (2-receivers). 3) Another family occupies the 2nd floor unit of the home (who knows what provider they are...

Since Comcast, in Philadelphia, has also started showing sports on their "Comcast Network" Station (formerly CN8), I'm guessing that is going to have to part of the package they are going to require distributors to carry. Hoping for the best, since I've got a lot of friends who will love this...

As someone who does volunteer credit counseling, you'd be amazed how many people just "write the check" every month without looking over their bills, etc. It's very frightening!

More than once, for a lot of those people, too. ;)

Funny that they said it only affected a small percentage of customers. There were quite a few here in our little community. I find it hard to believe that if so many were affected here, that it wasn't a larger number of subscribers than they're letting on.

Thanks KAB. I just called the regular number. I got someone who spoke fluent English, so it was a quick and painless separation. They offered me 3 free months of Setanta Sports since I mentioned GolTV as one of the reasons for leaving. I declined, though, since at the end of the 3 months...

For anyone who has canceled Dish in the past, is there a special number that makes the whole process painless, or do I need to just take my chances with the regular number? I've heard some horror stories about cancellations going badly, and I'd rather avoid any sort of problems.

I'm going to be cancelling my Dish Network subscription next month, and I'm just wondering if they will send someone out to my house to collect anything? I know I have to send the leased receivers back, but will they take the dishes or just the LNB's? Just trying to figure out if I'm going...

I used the auto-cancel button on the website, also. I was a little skeptical, but everything went through perfectly fine. Why am I always shocked when something goes right with my Dish account? :D

Hopefully Dish won't drag their feet on this and get it settled so that no boxes end up getting shut down. If they need any incentive I'll put my 3 year old on the line and they can listen to her when she can't watch Mickey Mouse Clubhouse or Yo Gabba Gabba! off the DVR anymore. :D

Okay, I've had some minimal drift for the past year but I've never had anyone come out to correct it. I just checked to see if it's changed and it is now at -7 / -8 on all 3 of my satellite locations. On 2 of those sats I'm also showing a new entry that starts with the letter "o" I'm guessing...

Wow, you must be one of the only people from the Philly area who sings Comcast's praises. As I said before I live just outside the City and I'll never give them any of my money. Just had my neighbor and my friend give them up, too. Of course they went with DirecTV not Dish, but they are now...

I would stick with Dish. I happen to live in Comcast's Corporate "backyard" and you couldn't get me to sign with them for anything!

This channel will definitely be on my wish list. E* already screwed up in my eyes with GolTV, but FSC-HD would help keep me around when my contract is up at the end of the year.

I completely agree with all of your assessments from the equipment, to the HD additions, to the price. However, the only thing I'm frustrated about is that this was a flat out mistruth that came directly from the mouth of the person running the Company. It was done in a publicly accessible...

As always, thanks for the info Scott. Seeing Willy Wonka in your avatar, though, made me think about one of his little rhymes that best seems to describe Charlie & Company right now:

I always wondered, though, if this stuff filters down onto Wall Street? There is a very large portion of the customer base who is upset today because of Charlie's promises, and, yet the stock is up 4.5% at the open. I understand the company is profitable, but how long can an investor ignore...

I had noticed this "increase" on my bill, as well. However, after adding the past two months bills together, and dividing by 2, the actual amount did average out to my normal billing amount, so I am getting HBO/Starz for free. It looks like the first 2 credits went in right before the...

I just wanted to add another 211 to this list. Ironically enough it was our Philly PBS station (12.1 - WHYY) that caused the problem. Signal broke up, remote froze, finally the 211 rebooted like 3 times before I could get back in. All of my strong (75+) OTA stations are fine, but it seems...

Wow, I was just about to come in here and ask the same question. I was so excited that DirecTV turned on PBS in HD in Philadelphia, because I misread the headline and thought it was Dish. Between that and the GolTV fiasco, my days of vehemently defending E* may be numbered. But I'm still...

I'm just happy that on my statement dated 3/15 they are reminding me that February 17th is the day my local stations will go to all digital. I guess E* doesn't keep up on industry news.

Nothing is more aggravating than trying to figure out how Dish does their billing. I did the 3 months Starz/HBO freebie, so they did a whole bunch of changes/credits, which seemed much more cumbersome than it had to be. Because of the dates that they ran these credits, they ended up charging...
