Wow. Picture's amazing, even the standard def channels.

My old cable provider -- sheesh. Looked like old YouTube videos most of the time. Very poor picture quality, and they never did get the high-def picture sizes right. The high-def channels were cut off on the sides. And there were only about 40 channels. The Dish package we got is 190 channels. :eek:

Got the Hopper. Can record our brains out. Downloaded the Dish app for my iPhone; I can watch TV on my phone, including stuff I've recorded. Can set the DVR to record from the phone. Crazy. :lol:

They had a special going on -- start paying regular price right away, and they'll send us a free iPad. Sweet!

:thup:
 
we have dish.... and never have had one problem.
 
my parents have dish
all they ever say is if a cloud pops up, they are watching DVDs..
then some people say it is great..
hope you are one of those! good luck man!

Dish is good, so good luck, daveman.

We have xfinity and love it, but only because we can't get DirectTV.

Thanks, Harry. Choices around here are very limited. One cable provider, and their product sucks. We've got DSL through AT&T, and Dish said we'd be better off keeping them than going with Dish internet.

I have Dish too and I love it.
I would rather lose channels for a small amount of time every once in a while, rather than having to pay a higher monthly fee because of unreasonable amounts of prices that the channel ( or what ever they are called) company is asking for.
I would rather have the negations and keep my bill lower.
I watch the shows on the computer when this happens.

i have direct tv

had dish loved them at first

had continuing problems with the receiver

had to have it sent in and replaced

took about two weeks to receive the replacement


things went well for awhile

and the same receiver problems started creeping up again

they sent out another replacement

we sent the other back

they claimed that they did not receive it

although tracking said they did

and dinged me for a couple of hundred extra bucks

things went down hill from there until i cancelled service

at that point they had "found" the receiver

but still had not credited my account

but it was too late direct tv was on the roof

and the mrs had her hbo and showtime
