Me, too. And I'm an E* subscriber! I want you D* guys to get your channels so that E* is forced to keep up and add the channels, too!
Thank you for this post.
If there is one thing that bores me to tears is fanboys posts that turn into flame sessions.
I feel the same way that you do. Every advance for E* means that D* has to step up their game. This competition is the best thing for all consumers of satellite TV.
I refuse to be 'loyal' to a satCo. Give me an adequate selection and good quality and I will be a customer. If E* gives me a compelling reason to switch, I would consider it. Sunday Ticket keeps me tied to D*, but I am grandfathered in (at least I still hope so, I keep being told I am) so that I can keep just ST.
E*, while very close is just not far enough ahead (or has been) for me to switch. Although the intro packages almost make it worthwhile. And then the D* return offers 'could' lure me back.
If you work for one or the other, it's one thing, but I don't get the 'my being a customer of ... is better than you' mentality, it is so juvenile. I feel the same thing with XM/Sirius. I have a very good friend that is a national VP for a major Sirius partner that keeps offering me free equipment, but I am used to XM and there just isn't enough reason to go to Sirius. XM has several talk channels that I just don't want to give up. It's kind of funny, I notice D* people tend toward XM while E* people tend to have Sirius. Completely anectotal, but my observation.
Anyway, your type of trolling
is always welcome.
