I really can't understand how anyone is thinking about leaving and going to Direct. Yes, everyone has their right to do as they want... and I welcome competition. I'm happy Direct is getting their HD game on.. finally... it's good for everyone. But I cannot even imagine leaving DISH.
I enjoy their service so much, and it goes beyond the HD. Yes, their are some things I do not like.. such as the Customer Service located overseas... and some of the upgrade cost I have had to endure at times, but DISH offers so much more that I do appreciate and value. I've been with DISH for many years, and I am very happy with their product. I especially love their DVR. I'm not going to bail on them just because someone finally caught up with them on the HD programming. Dish has been the leader for a longgggg time, and just when someone catches up... everyone says bail!?!? What gives? No one seems to have any patience. Sure, it is frustrating not knowing what is coming.. when.. or what the long term goals are, or how the possible sale may affect DISH. All I can say for myself is.. I'm hanging around... with patience... and LOYALTY.
Besides, there is no -substantial- HD that is available that DISH doesn't carry right now that I absolutely MUST have. I might want it, but I can live a while longer without it. My DVR and External Drive can't handle the recording space right now with all the HD we already have anyway!
Seriously though... where is the customer loyalty?
I just wanna say I appreciate those who have noted their support for Dish and are being patient. It's really getting old hearing nothing but complaints about DISH not adding HD (even certain mods here).... we all want it.. we know DISH still wants to be the leader... we don't know what they are up to.. we just have to trust they are doing something.
I must say I agree with some others who have posted here before... If you want to leave DISH.. or you have left DISH... then thats great... good for you.... but what input do you have that benefits US and this part of the BOARD now? It has become way to negative. If you can't wait for DISH.... then move on.. it may not get any better very quickly.
