but they are offering a $15.00 off per month to new subscribers on any package for the first year. Then what happens after that.

not to mention that you need to have a good credit. or a credit card so they can install equipment otherwise you need to purchase the equipmet that cost about the same or even more than a fta.

If you already have an older IRD then they just send you a G3 card, no contract is required either. People are just so used to stealing they can't handle it when it's time to pay up and come up with the most ridiculuos reasons of why it's their right to steal signal. My advice is to do something about it. Go with cardsharing and assume the risk, get setup for true FTA and assume the cost and lack of programming, get a sub, or STFU! (that's a finishing move used by John Cena)!

Exclamation There is a hitch on Dish pay as you view.....

First off..even though you set up your own equipment they still want a $145.00 hook-up fee! We had to argue with then to drop it! Also..big brother has set in on their telephone lined! IF.you do not hook up a phone line there will be a banner in frontof the screen...to get that off..they charge you $5.00..I heard a month..didnt check..I wnet ahead and purchassed the remote kind that you plug in the wall as we had NO phone jack in that room...$45 to $65.00 depending where you buy! Took us 4 Hours on the phone to get ALL the programming in the 250 package which went from $42.00 to $55.00 plus $10.00 more for HD! Now...they take 2 Pymts out...why? it's a pay as you go!!! My first bill is $134.80 but yet..on, Manage your Account it shows $231.04 due!.....$95 00 from what? I just sent an e-mail stating..change my bill to show I owe ONLY $134.80 or I will shut it down! What could happen is this..that second month you have to pay will NEVER come back to you..they keep it as a credit..NO MATTER WHAT...then..If I say I want to drop it..they could say..wait...you still show $95.00 owed. If I argue all they do is put a lein on your reciever..this way you can NEVER sell it as the new owner will call in the Rec. number and they will refuse to turn on unless YOU the new owner pay his bill...it is a RIP!!! Stay with OTA...

So do tell us outside of the USA how we can get a DN sub? I certainly don't have anyone in the states who can be a front for a DN sub for me. That blows it out of the water don't it?

I'm sorry, but I do not particularly care for DN programming. I would never be a customer of DN. The only reason I watch DN is through testing. Other than that, I'm perfectly happy with my Dave sub.
