I too receive calls from their horrible resellers but I push the buttons to emulate a fax modem tone lol. It cut down on the calls, well except the "automated" ones that say I have placed an order and "My dish will be delivered today"... isn't that partially considered bait and switch. I call to say I don't have an order and they say "Well in that case we can offer JUNK"
Sorry those of you that have dish if I have offended you, I love my DirecTV. |

| I guess I don't cause I have DirecTV, what's dumb is we pay for my parents DirecTV and no matter how many times they have told them that, the continue to call.
It can go both ways I see your point  |

I'm not certain that either company intentionally violates DNC, they just may be incompetent in keeping their database current, and the government may be looking to make an example of them.
Personally, I miss the outbound teleslime calls from Bombay for Dish. I used to get them daily, and every rep had a really hard time explaining to me that they were not trying to sell me a new China set, which apparently didn't include a Ginsu knife, both of which "the Mrs."  needed to approve. |

| I believe it was $5.3million. I assume you are refering the the case from 2005. I dont remember Directv settling a case for dnc in 07 but they did settle the 05 case.
