Leaving DirecTV after 7 years. Will not pay for equipment I can't own.

[charper1]

The TV #2 is crap and should not be part of any quality viewing discussion. Other than a handful of lesser watched channels; there is hardly anything to "crow about" regarding Dish Network and darn sure not worth endless pages of debate over same. If you don't like a service; then just pack your bags and move on. Getting in to an endless debate over your leaving; seems like you really don't want to move on. At least too me.

That goes double ditto for this thread too:

Good lord!! You D* fanbois are touchy...

If you have one dual tuner receiver then yes there is "mirror" fee...but god forbid you add another one..then it depends on the receiver
single tuner $7
dual tuner single output (think D* receiver) $10
dual tuner dual output non DVR $14
dual tuner dual output DVR $17

Wow, that is pretty ridicules. So having 2 non-DVR HDTV's on Direct would be cheaper than having 2 non-DVR HDTV's with Dish as far as mirroring fees are concerned. By $1 if I'm reading this right.

So no matter how you do the config, it's $7 per extra TV with Dish and $6 per extra TV with Direct?

Sounds like cable back when I was in elementary school, we'd have to install splitters and run coax inside the house after they left.

its not about being a fanboy or anything like that BS excuse. its about people growing up being an adult; no crying; just make your choice and move on.

You and I have been around long enough to know that while I agree with you, it seems many like to make a dramatic production out of changing/cancelling...

and that is EXACTLY what most are posting in reply about (65+ post in over nothing). not about being fanboys or not.

the guys wanting to make a move should just pull up the big girl pants and move.

Thats what I was thinking ....

Someone comes in and post garbage about wanting this or that, gets some opinions from others here and NEVER come back

That's 3 minutes after starting this thread. I'd be interested to see which Dish Network forum regular his IP matches with.. Because you know it's one of them. Random people don't go through the signup process to post crap and then never log in again.

Yes, you pay the same for your box with Dish, whether you own it or lease it. Only the name of the fee changes.

TV2 output isn't crap. It's an SD signal, and you can feed it to another, presumably SD, TV and it will look fine. You can run a coax or backfeed thru existing coax, or set up a wireless link. I've done it. And you get two TVs watching programs independently.

I certainly agree with the rest of our bourbon tester's post there. I usually do.

I think Dish has too many fees and should simplify them, for their own good and that of their customers. But I also saw a page of fees from our local Cox Cable. Now THERE's an example of way too many fees. The word "arcane" comes to mind.

Most of us that have gone HD, have gone HD on every TV in the house and totally removed all tube TV's from the house.

We have.

Thread has pretty much run its course.
The OP posted and then ran for the hills. All that has been posted after basically turned it into a D vs E thread
