How 'bout that Dish Satellite TV raising their rates!

Denver-area subscribers to Dish have been missing the Nuggets/Avalanche for the past 3 months and now Dish has raised their subscription rates without getting the Nuggets back on the air.

I wish I could get rid of these turds. Just think, they lost HBO a few months back over a rate dispute. Maybe Dish should tighten the belts of their gawd-awful operation before demanding more from us while delivering less!

routine a few years back. Like Direct,they both use UPS or FedEx for returns. Seems to me you present the e-mail and the required hardware and don't forget to get a receipt stating you did drop off your equipment. These Stores will hold this equipment of a couple of weeks or until they receive their shipping notice. In the mean time,Dish and Direct might bill you for the cost,usually 250 bucks plus.

their channel lineup to extort more money from their subscribers. I'm hoping for another service to pop
up here in New Mexico that will set us free. Or do they all do this same thing?

upgrade. That went to the dump and the doohickey on the dish is still up there. They don't always want those back. Mine was 12 years old I think.

When I dumped DirecTv they wanted the electronics back, but said to just leave the antenna up .. it was good advertising for them.

I need to remember to take it down and junk it
