...for now. That is a promotional price.
Which makes me wonder if providers stopped treating existing customers as second class citizens and stopped kissing potential new subscribers' collective a$$es, how many subscribers would actually switch?
What a concept! Treating your on-going customers like they actually had some value to you...
Sounds like you're going to get hammered in 1-2 years with fees and then you will probably want to switch back again since E* will probably catch up with National HD by then.
A customer for 9 years and Dish just let you go without some sort of counter offer?
Thanks to Charlie dropping Voom HD - we are switching this Saturday!
I am having my Directv dish installed this Saturday! I am getting the HD DVR, the HD Digital Choice, with locals, with HBO & Showtime which is the same as what I paid dish $127 a month but the difference is now I pay $44.98 for the first 3 months then $70.98 for months 4-12, then I pay $108.99 there after.
FYI Directv allows existing customers in good standing to call and recieve the same promotional offers that are available so after the first year if they advertise any offers you are able to call and get the same rates.
I am switching mainly due to dish dropping VOOM HD! To me now that they have no unique HD channels to justify paying a premium, and having treated us Voom HD clients whom are paying the higher end of the spectrum of monthly fees like crap; it seems a no brainer to cancel dish and switch to Directv and get the same for a lower price and have much better customer service and no more decietful tactics. :up

True , but have to renew/extent the 2 yr contract.
No Life (adj):
1 - Deceased, an ex-parrot
2 - Someone who reads Forums of products they no longer own.
yeah only thing keeping me from leaving Dish, is that Directv still doesn't get the picture that Clay county is not in the Terre Haute DMA.
So be sure to come back and report on the quality of the programming at D*. I want to know how the D* codec compares to that of E*. The only time I experienced D* before the quality was not good. I think I read somewhere that the D* programming is no longer bit-starved. (For informational purposes and exercise of bragging rights; I've still got a long committment to E*.)

I switched back in the Winter and glad I did. You will like Direct and the receivers have come a long way...
Maybe they too were sick of seeing the choking avatar.
hay! what i do with my son is my business!
Exactly. People can keep blindly defending Dish and ragging on everyone that says they are leaving, but that quarterly sub count aint getting any prettier for Dish. Their lack of initiative is bothersome. Only thing that keeps me here is the cost of the HD Only pack. If they did not have it, I never woulda left Directv, especially with the superior channels list and PQ.
Prime example of them not caring, Vooms been down for awhile and they've adding nothing national. I could care less that they allegedly have a lawsuit with Fox or that they need to reach agreements. For once, cheap ass Charlie should spend some dough. To make it worse, we got NOTHING from Team Summit except "shoulda been there". Nice being a mushroom in the dark.
