Dish loses 25,000 TV customers to economy, competition
I can clearly see why Dish Network lost so many people. I have DirecTv and called Dish Network to see what it would cost me if I wanted to switch to Dish network and have the same 3 room HDDVR recievers when I turned on the service with about the same programming that I have with DirecTv. And Dish network said the start up cost would be $745.00 for the hardware alone. I laughed so hard the lady on the phone hung up.

We'll get to see how DirecTV is doing on Thursday when they release their earning report. It will be interesting to see if it was them that picked up Dish customers. Or will DirecTV lose subscribers too - meaning cable/telco is getting customers from both satellite services. -- My BLOG .. .. Internet News .. ..

reply to pcme2000 You made he mistake of calling Dish directly. You should have called one of their contractors instead. They are the ones with the hardware deals and then sign up with Dish for the programming deals.
When we got Dish in 1998, our only upfront cost was for the programing and everything else was included. Later we bought our own DVR and then when we upgraded to HD, we leased the 722 HD DVR. -- Always Reach Beyond Your Grasp
