Stupid Dish Network
Well I woke up this morning to an FSN Ohio channel that was not there because of a carriage dispute between FSN Ohio and Dish. I'm so frikin sick of Dish Network. First they don't give me MLB Network. Then they take FSN Ohio away. They suck. I wish I would have never gotten Dish and am switching to Directv very soon. Meanwhile I will probably have to miss the last 3 games of the season and all the postgame on FSN Ohio. Makes me furious!!!

Re: Stupid Dish Network
Call their "loyalty team." Such a thing actually does exist, and they take good care of customers.
The lack of an NFL package hurts Dish but, overall, it is a much better product than Direct TV.

I had Direct TV before and hated it, I prefer Dish but If I can not watch Reds baseball I might as well go back to cable.

Re: Stupid Dish Network
I've had DirecTV since I moved to Michigan in 2002 and have had a very positive experience. Their customer service is outstanding and I've always been pleased with the product. They are willing to offer promotions and discounts to loyal subscribers to help with monthly costs, as well.
SHAMELESS PLUG: If any of you disgruntled Dish Network folks want to switch to DirecTV, use me as a reference and DirecTV will give each of us $100.

Re: Stupid Dish Network
If there was a ton of games left i would be livid, but with 3 and those 3 having no meaning I can live with it. What bothers me is you can't get out of dish network unless you pay a hefty fine and getting direct TV requires a $200 up front deposit in our area and cable is just way to much.

Re: Stupid Dish Network
Wow that sucks. I know my family back in Cincinnati will not be happy at all. They have been pondering whether to switch away from Dish, and I think this will be the straw that does it. First now having MLB now not having FSN!

Re: Stupid Dish Network
FSN picked a bad time to ask for more money. There's only 3 games left and they'll almost certainly get a deal done before next season starts.
If FSN pulls this 2 months ago I'm definitely switching, now I think I'll wait it out. |

Re: Stupid Dish Network
Does this mean that the game won't be on the sports alternates?

Re: Stupid Dish Network
I switched to cable from Dish a few months ago. The deal I got was way cheaper for way more channels and I don't have to worry about my dish losing connection whenever it got cloudy out (yes, it didn't even have to rain and I would lose connection). I do miss the Dish DVR though, it is light years better than the cable DVR.
