World rugby games on DISH?!?!? Hummmmm...
Anyway, I have decided to stick with PrimeStar until I get called by DirectTV that it is time to convert. Then I'm shifting over to DISH.
In addition to some very helpful PMs, I spent time looking at DISH's web site. I like the program packages better than what I have now (e.g. I would like to get CNN International), will be spending the same per month that I am now (as against paying more for what I have now should I get shifted to DirectTV), and see, at the Consumer Reports site that customer satisfaction is slightly greater with DISH than DirectTV.
It was via Consumer Reports that I originally decided to go with PrimeStar. Once a customer, I looked at the stock. AHHHHHHHH! No way would I have ever bought shares in it.
Maybe I should take a close look at DISH now rather than wait until I'm a customer. If I am typical of current PrimeStar people, DISH could be seeing a nice increase in customers over the next year, by which time all PrimeStar as a satellite provider will be gone.
Regards,

P.S. Now that I know definitively that these old PrimeStar dishes can not be modified for antennae, I'm thinking I should just collect them from people in my area, stack them in my shed, then auction them off as "antiques" on one of the online auction sites in a few years. |
