When I get mad I vote with my wallet. I simply go to another provider and if that provider doesn't have what I want I find something else to do with my time. Life is short, no need to get worked up and make it shorter...
I was going to respond to him, but didn't think I could be as tactful as you. "garbage" and "cheated"? Why would anyone even do business with someone they felt that way about?
This is true for both companies.
Almost like they are both for profit companies and not charities? Strange. Lol.
As long as it spat it back out into your wallet , nothing lost!I tried that once and the voting machine spat it back out.
I don't know about that...Dish just added Comet recently which is Sinclair
And they'll raise customer rates even more to keep it....
Just heard a DJ on Q95 in Indianapolis telling people to switch to Comcast Xfininty so they can watch the Reds. That's the first time I've heard something like that on radio.
The push to switch providers is really becoming aggressive-

For the record, the wife signed up with Dish when DirecTV after 15 years started giving us issues by raising the price $5 every other month and refused to lower the bill at all. I would've gone back to them, but I sold off all of the equipment that I installed myself.
There is no other choice for TV or internet in my area. The cellular internet service here is 1X/2G and I absolutely must have internet service. Our area doesn't even have landline phone service anymore, so even dialup isn't an option anymore. I could probably do without TV service, but that's not an option either with kids.
A dishonest CSR telling someone over the phone that their internet service was unlimited and didn't have a data cap just to sell them a service is absolutely cheating someone. It was unlimited at night (2am-8am) for the first month, but after that went to their garbage data caps that they lied on the phone about.
I really enjoy these recent Sling commercials with the couple watching baseball. What a classy company.
The bet here is yes. They will likely SD for the Fox RSN (Home) feeds. Non-FOX away feeds may still be in HD IF Dish has an agreement to carry them. We shall see.
You know what really was dishonest?
Dish used to print a brochure every year with the NFL schedule to put in the stores.
They would list all the games in a way to make people think Think Dish had football.
But what they did was list all the channels in the NY, Chicago, Denver and LA distant networks which nobody could get unless they lived in an un served area.
Just a few hours ago, ownership of the Fox Sports RSN's and YES Network were transferred to Sinclair.
Hopefully this means this fight is almost over.

Ha. Things just got worse. Sinclair's penchant for extortion is just as bad. And they own more channels than fox or Disney.

yeah, most likely Sinclair is the very reason this dispute is ongoing. had Disney been allowed to own the RSNs like they were originally agreed to during the announcement/agreement in principle phase of the merger, the RSNs would be on Dish still.
