2008

We have had Dish for 8-9 years you would think with that kind of track record there would be an occasional perk of some kind. NOT! We recently had to replace a reciever and they wanted to charge me full price. Then my dish it's self got messed up and needed replaced that cost me an arm and a leg. I asked why they offer all kinds of specials to new subscibers and nothing to old faithful viewers. They didn't have an answer. I haven't had cable in over 20 years so can't rate its comparison to it. There are lots of channels but is it worth what you pay. Why can't we pick and choice our package to price packages per so many channels? We don't view over half of what I pay for but would love to have others that aren't in my package. Go figure. I guess we like it cause we are still with them though. Getting rebates takes awhile and sometimes many calls to customer service for explaination on why it hasn't been credited. Overall I would say it is a 50-50 draw.
