Re: Re Well put!


Sure, you're going to get a better picture with a dish, but a good cable system can offer pictures near the same quality. And we'll give you all of your local channels too. Not some east coast or west coast network. We'll also give you your local forcast on the weather channel. How about service calls? $45.00 or so a trip. With cable theres no charge. How long are you going to wait for a service call? 2 days? a week? Cable companies have to respond within 24 hrs. Then, if your receiver is bad. Are they going to replace it for free? NOT! you'll buy a new receiver, and pay the 45.00 service call. If our equipment goes bad, we'll replace it for nothing, and credit your account for lost service periods. How's that for price? How about additional outlets? (if you want to be able to watch different channels at the same time) That'll cost you another 5.00 a month for each additional receiver, plus installation.

If dish service is as superior to cable as you'd have us believe, then why do some of your customers have cable service for their local channels.
Oh........so if i get a dish, I'll still have to pay the cable company for my local channels.(another 12.00 per month)

With a dish you'll pay about 40.00 a month for 100 channels. Plus all of the charges mentioned above. The system i work in has 72 analog channels for 30.95 a month, and we do provide quailty service to all of our customers. I'm sure that's hard for you to believe, since you seem to think that's impossible. Just because you chose to run your system in that manner, doesn't mean everybody else does too. You're just one of the many that give this business a bad name. Maybe if you tried giving a sh** about your job, you could also offer good service to your customers some day.

Trust me, we've been in this business for decades. We didn't just show up a few years ago, like the dishes.

And we do smell the coffee, because we grew the f***in coffee beans. You dish guys just drink it and wonder where it came from.

> I hate to break it to you guys, but you can’t back any of that up. How is cable gonna crush dish’s? Quality? Nope, not even close. Price? HA! Service? We all know better than that. Smell the coffee, if cable keeps acting like it still has a monopoly, they will lose this battle

> > Your right about the cable vs. dish. A Good well maintained system will crush a dish company, But what hurts the cable companys is customer service! and thats what is hurting us,No customers no money! even after a rebuild they do nothing to make sure the customer has a great looking picture. you have to have good drops,good fittings, and a good conection all the way to the back of the TV. And without that, you don't have a good looking picture! At the price's there charging People want good service, And the bottom line is, Untill they do that, They are gona lose a lot of customers. hell you + me woulden't pay for a crappy picture either, And thats the fack! All they care about is numbers not the customer! (hammer)
