I certainly appreciate the new presence of DISH on the forum. They've helped me several times in the past.
To me, the greatest value of DIRT was that they were more knowledgeable (at least in my experience) than the CSR's on the phone or in chat and didn't make up stuff just because that's what I wanted to hear. However, I notice that in most of their posts now that they are just referring us to Chat. That has little value to me.
Hopefully, they'll get it worked out so they can give us direct support again in the future.
