Dish for my RV
Does anyone use this service? The way I interpret their web page it seems pretty expensive. I have DISH in my home right now and I move a 211K and Tailgater in the RV, but thinking of canceling DISH...

I just posted a rant last week about my experience with Dish customer service, simply trying to get them to provide the service they contracted to at "DishForMyRV". Here are my impressions:
I was VERY satisfied with the programming service. More variety than cable and more sports-oriented. SD signal was just OK.
Yes, it is pricey, and if you know you're going to use the service you should completely bypass dishformyrv and sign up for a 2-year commitment with a 211k and a tailgater.
Regarding the Pay-as-You-Go, Dish seems determined to chip away at the promises made at dishformyrv. When you go to suspend your service you will find them trying to sell you a $5/month fee for doing what they promised to do for free--suspend your service at no cost. So now if you refuse the fee they go out of their way to treat you like a deadbeat and will completely close the account. Yes, you can start again at anytime and at no additional cost, but they really want that $5 fee.
Regarding not paying your bill, I tried this as a test, but mistakenly only did it for a few days. You have to go at least 30 days (one full billing cycle) or they will treat it as a late payment and simply restart the service on a short month. Again, this was not what we were told at dishformyrv, but good luck arguing with them. I LOVE to argue, and they wore me out.
ALSO: In my first year and a half of service, I had the service on all the time. Over the course of that I basically doubled my bill, adding more sports and HBO/SHO. Now that those creeps at Dish got me thinking about the costs, it's likely that I'll only have the service on less than 6 months a year--that's a solid five or six hundred bucks saved, at the super premium dishformyrv rates.
