I just dumped my cable service and installed a dual LNBF system.. Overall I get much more than with cable at about the same cost.. I am so delighted that I influenced three other people to go to DISH.. The biggest problem is that they are too busy to get to customers to activate systems... The rebate promotion is selling systems... My son is dumping his other system for DISH because he can get everything he wants with one provider here.. Yes...DISH is absorbing some rebate costs but after a few months the rapid expansion in customer base will start paying off... I am spending twice as much as is required to get my rebate...It would appear to me that the incremental cost of adding the service to a new customer is virtually zero.. They need to set up a bank draft or an automatic credit card charge system...
