i had to put my disk satelite right next to the old direct tv one (which i cut off at the base). apparently they can't use teh same base which i guess isn't surprising.
It seems it would make sense if Dish and Direct came to an agreement to use a universal base. It would save both companies a lot of money as they would just need a dish and could use the existing base.
there have been rumors of a merger forever, so if that happens. . . currently i'm sure they want to do everything to not get you to switch to teh other company. my wife wasn't all that pleased with another thing on the roof and i'm sure she's not the only one.
Dish put in a bid to buy Sprint too. Dish's Charlie Ergen on Sprint Offer: 'We're Not Going to Lose' - Forbes
Direct gave me me the NFL package for free for 5 years.....I'm going into year two.I'm sure I'll get sec for free...
Nfl package is direct tv programming and that's why they give it for free to tons of people. I don't think direct tv can give the middle finger to the sec like the PAC 12 though
Call em up. When they ask you what you want say you are canceling your service. When they ask why tell them dish or whatever competitor of your choosing is offering x for the same package. After they agree to match it say "great and if you throw in the nfl package I think we'll be good." Easy as pie. They'll literally throw nfl ticket at you for any complaint.
I have no complaints about Uverse here. In fact, I had an issue with billing as soon as I signed up. I called them and by the time we got off the phone with each other, the guy had his manager on the issue and it was fixed.
I don't know how much it costs, but I will gladly pay more for something if superior customer service is included.
I have both services. I use their account suspension feature to alternate between Dish and DirecTV for six months at a time (I install it myself...) I usually reactivate DirecTV at some point around July. I plan to call up with the threat of cancelling just to see what they throw at me. I'd like Sunday Ticket or a Genie. Hopefully they comply.
