I can say that i am pretty sure AMC is definately not amused/pleased with dish giving out roku box's for AMC's own decision to stream their episodes online. I find an agreement at this point would take a heck of alot.

Is this the same email you guys got? This doesn't necessarily sound like they are actually confirming a shipment.
Per our phone conversation, here is a link to the information you requested:

Indeed, which I pointed out to her, but she seemed confident that this means the order was placed, she could see the credit had been applied to start on the next billing cycle. Fingers crossed, Dish generally has been good regarding orders for me in the past so no reason to doubt at the moment...Hmm, everything noted on the account and actually setup may not be the same. We will just have to wait it out and hope for the best.

Me too. But I don't have the package amc was on... so can't really call and complain. I was going to upgrade in time for Breaking Bad but would make it sound like I was making it up.
It's ok though.
I was in the chat queue for almost 2 hours when it all of a sudden said there were no agents avaliable. Had to start all over again in the long queue. I decided to call the number in the email and was done in 20 minutes; $10 credit for 12 months and a Roku (she said it would be shipped overnight and I should have it Tuesday). She said it retails for 59.99 so I guess it is the Roku HD model.
I chose my words poorly in my previous post, was just wondering if you guys were mentioning the Roku or letting them offer it first. I'm very upset about AMC going away, Walking Dead and Hells on Wheels are 2 of my favorite shows right now and my wife loves Mad Men. I had already talk to my local Charter cable about switching but decided to wait a few months to see if the channel comes back. From the sound of this thread that doesn't sound likely.

Just a timing update. I'm number 3 in line now, and it looks like it takes about 2 hours to get through the queue.
Curious why people are waiting forever to speak to an agent on chat? I just called in and was done in 10 minutes at most...
And if it were trial you most likely would never know about it either as it would prejudicial.
It took and hour and 45 minutes to wait for the agent on chat, and then another 25 minutes to negotiate and get the order completed. I just finished up. I'm getting the Roku, a $35 one-time credit, and a $10 credit per month for 12 months. This will pay for HD streaming ($2.76 per episode after a 5% discount for purchasing the whole season) of the full seasons of Breaking Bad (this summer's 8 episodes and next summer's 8 episodes), The Walking Dead (16 episodes), and Hell on Wheels (10 episodes), and have about $35 change left over. Of course, next year, assuming they still aren't carrying AMC, they won't be offering any credits, so it'll cost hard money to watch those shows.
Others have stated it is the Roku XD model ($79.99) I wonder if DISH is giving out refurbished XD models which are currently on Roku's site here for $59.99
Great. I guess I can look forward to calling them back, and being number 1247 in the queue.
This also what I told them. The former at the beginning, and the latter at the end.

Same here in Boston. WMFP-62 has it on it's main channel. With OTA we get RTV on it's subchannel.
Same here! I see the $10 credit but nothing on the Roku in my email or in My Shipments tab on DishOnline.
I never got the email either, and did not mention it when I got on the chat. I said that I had read about the offer online, and they put it through.
