Ok … so I was watching tv today on my day off … haha yea right. I had mandatory OT today. Bleh. Anywho .. watching tv and I see a cable commercial out today that states www.onlycablecan.com. I won’t even give them the benifit of the doubt to make it a clickable link. If you are going to represent your product, do it truthfully. Don’t make up stupid things to make you look better. Look at the facts and facts alone. So I’m surfing this website and found a link at the top that says "The truth about the dish". So yea … lets begin the rebutts shall we? I’ve read them all .. and beileve me … maybe one or two they have a point but you’ll soon shall see. So sit back and listen up.
Why do I have to sign a contract just to watch tv?
Because you are getting free equipment! Most people that have services usually do end up keeping it for at least 12 months anyways to "test the water"
Why do I have to buy the equipment myself?
Why do you have to buy a blender to make a margurita(sp?)To get the product. Besides you have a "renting" fee each month with cable.
Why isn’t free really free?
"Ask how free your equipment is if you ever decide to disconnect? …" 240$ cancellation fee. But the money you save even if you disco would be still considerably less if you went with comcast(more in a bit).
Can I get that awesome new ON-DEMAND television service?
No, you can get a dvr service which is exactly the same thing. Just diffrent wording. Besides the only reason satallites have it is because of the fact cable has it. Pointless almost.
How is that high-speed internet service coming along?
Ok ok .. probably only thing they can brag about. Dish once had a service called starband that went bankrupt but now we’ve got a partnership for dsl which is compariable to cable only if your in an area that has dsl, same goes for cable though … wow, almost even there, no bragging rights even.
How can I get my favorite local stations in high-definition
Ummmm …. with an off air antenna bolted on my roof. That’s how. And minus the price of the antenna(usually built into the reciever) you don’t have to pay any additional fees. And besides, I couldn’t find out how many local channels they have in high definition.
Why can I watch some local stations but not others?
Legal Issues. However Dish provides over 70% of customers with locals and the other 30% are in areas that are basically next to broadcasting towers. No need paying for something that’s free where as with cable locals only on one tv is at about 15 bucks.
Why do I have to pay more money to use high-definition tv set
High def is so new anyways that usually only the richer part of the united states has it anyways, no skin off their backs. As for what cable says "National satellite tv companies charge extra fees for HD programming. And just about everything else "extra" that you might want". Well usually extra does mean more money. Take cars. You want that cd player that does not come standard, you pay extra, but you don’t question it do you? Besides .. cable has this same ideology so this point is useless.
Can I hook up a couple more tv sets in the hosue for free?
Yes it does require an extra cost, however so does cable. Yet again this fact is useless. If you have more then one tv in your home with cable, not only is that illegal if you do not pay for it but it’s also signal fade, meaning your already poor analog reception will be then dithered to your other tvs in the home.
Come on cable … think of something better ….
Can you guys help out at the little league picnic?
"Sorry. You’ll have to call the cable company. When you deal with a satellite tv company, your dealing with an out-of-town corporation. When you deal with your local cable company your dealing with people who work, live, raise families, coach teams, volunteer at schools and take pridein their local communities. Call us-olld fashioned, but we think it still matters".
LOL. This is too funny. What does this even have to do with the diffrences between satallite providers and cable? Besides … dish network contacts local retailers in every area of the United States and if they are not part of the local communites … then … uh … I don’t know what is.
Ok .. So that’s my story. Sorry I was bored and quite frankly it irritates me whenever people, companies more specific.
