I just got the call, and it sounded like a good deal with no upfront cost to me. However my monthly cost would go up $10 per month. So I asked what am I getting for the additional $10 per month. She started off by saying I'd get my HD locals. I told her I already was receiving my hd locals OTA. She says but off air is not digital. I said yes it is digital. She says it's not 'true all digital'. After we argue for a while, I tell her that well my OTA not true digital looks better than Voom and I'm afraid that Dish's HD locals may be a downgrade from the OTA HD locals. She says Voom doesn't look as good because it's 'enhanced' but the Dish HD locals will be superior to my OTA.
So I give up on that discussion and try to pin her down on what I get for $10. She really doesn't even know. I mean I know I'll get the other Voom channels, UHD, ESP2HD, HGTV, and any future channels, but I want her to tell me what I get for $10. Then funnily enough all of a sudden I'm disconnected.
I may call back to take advantage of the deal, but I wonder how they feel when they call someone on this forum that knows more about it than they do. I guess I shouldn't give her a hard time it's not her fault she is put in this position, but geez if they are going to raise my monthly rate, I expect them to know enough to tell me why, and not try to mislead me with the line that my OTA HD locals aren't digital.
