What Will Dish Offer Paying Customers?

[Finnigan]

....that have lost these recent channels that are now missing due to the dispute with FOX.

We paid for them. What will they do for us in return?

Or, are we all just Sxxx out of luck and money?

Some have called or done chat and got some concessions. I did, got 3 PPV coupons and told to check back in 48 hours (from last night). Others have done the same and got squat! So what they will do is in turmoil at the moment.

Call or chat and see what they will do for you. Can't hurt.

I wouldn't think they can do much of anything at the moment, except maybe a small discount or PPV coupons.

$5 per month for a yr

I'm getting $5 per month off for a year for losing Nat Geo. I went on chat and was able to get that. I posted the whole chat on the Big thread about it.

 

[rogerpl]

I'd take some freebie- Red zone or Starz for a while but not a big deal right now-

I'm under contract and got 3 PPVs.

I considered the 2 alternate choices for me. D* or Mediacomm. Both mean losing national HD channels I care about and in the case of Mediacomm, almost all of them.

I'll stick around and be a little irritated...

Whats MediaComm? Is that Cable, Or Fiber?

I am not under contract and was able to get $5 a month for 12 months. Had to chat twice to get it and got transferred to the "loyalty department" before receiving any success.

Cable, and unfortunately not one that has gone all digital. Not enough bandwidth to do more than they are doing now. About 20 HD channels total counting premiums and locals, so it is very slim pickings. And SD that is truly horrible...

I'm in a fairly rural part of the country, Herrin, IL where I live is about 11K pop and the biggest town in the area is less that 20K. So no fiber.

I only had to do chat once but that's what I got & how it took place.

I just got off the phone with a dish csr. I complained about losing all the channels, and especially the lack of HD games on Center Ice..."I got nuthin'".

I told him we, as end users, are the losers and do not care about any pissing matches between multi-billion dollar companies, and I would like what I signed on for, or some kind of credit.

I was polite, yet stern, and didn't even swear at the guy!

I basically just hung up & will start looking at other options.

 

[SRF23]

Me too - I was polite and the CSR seemed almost sarcastic - he would not "elevate" the call because he said nobody would care. I got nothing

Try again. You will probably get something. I had to try a couple times.

There are not even 20 HD stations on Comcast here. I just counted 19. Wait... Forgot the ONE HBO HD. It is 20.

Of course, Comcast here screws themselves, because they keep an Analog tier for the old people.

I got 3 PPV coupons. I have never used PPV, and don't plan to either.

I was able to get $5 a month for 12 months for losing Nat Geo / FX.

 

[satjay]

My parents who have Dish got the three PPV coupons as well, after hearing we dont want to pass on the fox 50% increase to you the customer

 

[jrbdmb]

I got HD Platinum free for 3 months ... that's fine with me.
