    Nor have I. They've been great to deal with. Even were able to troubleshoot a box problem over the phone.

    But, whether Dish or Direct/TV, it's much better than what those cable whores offer.

    So much cleaner, so to speak...

    From my brief experience this is true. A dish isn't for everyone, but compared to my experience with Comcast, DIRECTV is heaven. When I set the dish up two weeks ago I asked if the NHL Center Ice PPV package was still full price knowing that they usually run a mid-season promotion with a discount. I also knew that digital cable was running a free preview and discount starting yesterday (Jan 6), so I asked if they had any promotions coming up. I figured if waiting would save some bucks, then I'd wait until it was cheaper, especially considering that we already paid full price for it on cable. They said no, so I added it at full price because the wife had me under orders to keep her supplied with hockey.

    Well last night I saw that they were in fact running a promotion that amounted to a $60 savings, so I called to ask what they could do. It only took me three minutes to get some compensation and I didn't even need to speak with a supervisior or raise my voice! Similar problems with cable took hours and several call to resolve.

    Alright, lemme get this straight: Comcast owns the Philly WUSA Team, and Cox, Inc. owns the Atlanta Beat...why were we unable to get solid I/O's like this involved in MLS??
