Dish is no better.
I have dish and my receiver tells me that the line is not plugged in and that some features are disabled.
The funniest thing about dish is that I have 2 HD receivers that I got so I can get local channels in HD since 1.) They dont offer them in St. Louis and 2.) Because OTA HD is better then cable or sats. However, if I do not pay their $6 HD enabling fee then they disable the component ports on the receivers. This is NOT one of their HD packages, those are $20 more then the regular subscriptions.
At least that is what I have been told multiple times. But this could be one of those lies. I even said to the last sales person I was talking to that he would have to admit that is pretty funny. He didnt get it so I said that it is like me buying a Toshiba DVD player and then them charging me $6 a month to have the component connection enabled so I can watch progressive scan. He said... "well ya, I see your point." |

Hot Springs, NC | I had just asked Dish about the phone line issue since I don't have a land line. I was told that we wold be charge $5 per month for every receiver that we used that was not connected to a phone line. |

| I have phone lines connected to the 2 recievers in my house and they are functioning, yet every day I see a nag screen about how I am being charged $5 a month (dish network) and I have called them on numerous occasions explaining to them that I have dial-up and when I am connected (which is most of the time) the receivers are incorrectly thinking they are not hooked up.
They tell me that it doesn't matter, but remove the charge and I go through it again in another month. When I am not connected I don't get the nag screen.
Go figure. |
