Something very interesting, and a nice endorsement for DISH: Courtesy of Skyreport.com... Hometown For TCI Endorses Home Satellite Rival The mayor of Greenwood Village, Colo., the home of Tele-Communications Inc., is endorsing another multichannel company based inside the city as an alternative to the nation's largest cable TV operator. Greenwood Village Mayor David Phifer, citing "problem after problem" with TCI's cable service, is endorsing satellite provider EchoStar Communications and its DISH Network through a mailing sent to city residents. The mailing offers free installation of home satellite equipment, a value of around $200. It's viewed by many as another round of the in-your-face methods that have helped DISH win cable subscribers over to its DBS camp. The city has encountered trouble with TCI in the past. The city council had threatened to revoke TCI's franchise last summer, and the operator is under a six month extension recently agreed to by both sides. Phifer said the city spent no money on the promotion. I don't know about the "$200" amount, but maybe they're doing something special in that market.. Jeff
