Give Dish heck for dropping Fox News and get a credit

I don't watch Fox News but thought I would throttle Dish for dropping them. Went to the on line chat and gave them a piece of my mind. I got a $5 credit for three months for a channel I don't watch. I called in when they dropped CBS and conveyed my displeasure. Got a $5 credit for six months for my inconvenience. I hate Dish, but we are locked into them because of our owned equipment.

So, you sharks out there go for the trail of blood in the water.

    More people than any other news program.
  • I called yesterday (Sunday)..........I got one month free service($130) and 5 months at $30 off of my bill........$280 over 6 months..........



    I also told them I was tired of the TV commercials bashing Direct TV's $100 a month club.....when I am in the Dish $130 a month club!


    I also told them if it wasn't resolved by Wednesday, I was going to call back and we were going to renegotiate my bill........

    I do. And for that reason, I won't be changing to Dish anytime soon.
  • Just an FYI, it's just as likely FOX bailed on Dish. It's called negotiations for a reason and Dish wants to keep their prices low and FOX/AMC/TCM/every other network want to make more money. So Dish is doing you a favor.

    As for who watches Fox, not that any US based news outlet is unbiased but it's the least biased. It's a sad day when to get truly unbiased and factual news about the US you have to rely on sources outside the US. That's assuming you want facts without bias and aren't one who enjoys drinking the koolaid.
  • I'm still on my $5 monthly discount for complaining about the lack of CNN and TCM in early November.
  • Maybe you should tell Dish you don't mind paying more more for your service. Dish and Direct does this to control your satellite fees. They could just raise your fees and they wouldn't have to bargin with Fox or CNN.
