I called the local cable company yesterday and as soon as they drop off the box, I'm canceling dish network.
this has nothing to do with viacom, or david vs. goliath or...whatever. this has to do with a company that I have paid *over five thousand dollars to* over the past seven years blocking channels (I'm in LA, so no CBS for me), and then asking *me* to call viacom, MTV, CBS, advertisers, etc. etc. etc.
are they insane?
I love dish network service and I've never had a problem with it, but I'll be damned if I'm going to call cbs and viacom. please. i wanted to email dish network, but if you go to their "contact us" page, all you get is a list of viacom numbers to call. wtf? "don't call us, call viacom."
hey man, stand up to the big guy, smash the state and all that shit, but I'm paying YOU to do that stuff. if this was an open source outfit trying to fight some giant company I'd be on their side 100%, but don't take my money - for 7 years - and then tell me to go do your dirty work.
dish network has screwed the pooch on this one.
