NPS and Dish Network are teamed up apparently.. There are ads for Dish on NPS's website.

I notice you are from Sheridan, Or.. I went out there a few years back, stayed with my in-laws.. beautiful area out there..

They had a big dish too, heh, then again most everyone probably does out that way.

EDIT: Here is the NPS/Dish link http://www.callnps.com/small_dish_offer.htm

The message most likely came from YSP. They are owned by Dish now and they won't be reselling the digital 4dtv versions like NPS is.

Wow - that is worded VERY similar to the Dish Network ad that us Voomers got to look at towards the end .

At least the Dish retailers aren't calling your houses yet to 'schedule your upgrade'. Ask 'em for OLN - that'll stop 'em cold .

Yeah, I'm getting it to. I just set up my 4dtv receiver this weekend. How do you clear the message and get it to stay cleared? I can press exit and get it to go off, but it just comes back a few seconds later.

If you subscribe to the channel you are seeing it on, it will go away.

Well that bites. I thought they'd thrown in a few freebies when I got my programming. Thanks for the info.
