Dish Network versus Direct TV

[Keith Strehle]

Hmmm? Interesting? So the problem is in the receiver, again. So
they will send me yet ANOTHER receiver which means I get to go to
FedEx again to send the other one back. This will be the fourth
one. In the meantime I'm paying for service I'm not getting? I
guess this is what happens when they have a monopoly on the
business. Oh well, I suppose this is the cost of doing business
these days.

bedroom just about eliminates the dish from the current problem
situation.
