Re: Good thing I didn't get Dish yet
Where'd you get those prices ??
Dish's Digital Home Advantage: (3) TVs, Top 120 package w/ locals = $44.99/month + $5.00 for 2nd receiver (receiver # 1 will be a dual-tuner). Total = $49.99
(»www.dishnetwork.com/images/getdi···rice.gif, »www.dishnetwork.com/content/getd···ex.shtml (fine print at bottom of page))
DirecTV: (3) TVs, Total Choice ("over 130 channels") w/ locals = $39.99/month + "$4.99/mo. for separate programming on second and each additional TV". Total = $49.97

Whoops, you're right, DTV is cheaper...  |

| I got those prices from A)my DISH network bill and posted it verbatim as it is described in writing on the back of the bill. B)For Direct TV I have what you have -but not the $4.99 per each additional TV. Hence, for the same money, I'll come out ahead 1 receiver with programming ...Unless there's more fine print I'm missing.
PS. You answered my question which I posted in earnest: According to your info it was VIACOM who "pulled the plug" and if I had a way to stick it to them, I certainly would. Both companies are in the wrong however, because in no other business would the customers be involved in such a manner. Just bad business all around. |
