I had stupid problems with Direct TV's DVRs. I had to have three different ones sent out and the software was just lame. Then when I canceled my service due to their lameness they still charged me the stupid fee. So I'm completely against Direct TV. Call me biased.<br>
<br>As for AT&T - I've been using UVerse and I've been surprisingly pleased.<br><br>-Josh<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Sat, Oct 16, 2010 at 5:49 AM, Paul Cartwright <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:ale@pcartwright.com">ale@pcartwright.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

right now I have Atnexus & DISH. But recently there happens to be an ISSUE<br>
with DISH, they are having FOX network problems. I signed up for an extra<br>
package for $5 a month, to include the sports channels, SportsSouth Fox<br>
Sports. the VERY DAY I signed up, Fox pulled the channels from DISH. AND<br>
there is talk that they may also pull the regular Fox network channel on Nov<br>
1. I haven't called back to cancel the upgrade, even though I never got the<br>
channels, and I am considering my options.<br>
The reason I left AT&T as an ISP was they had blocked my domain email from<br>
getting to me. So I switched ISP & domain host at the same time. Would I have<br>
an issue sending mail through AT&T to my domain? anything else I should<br>
consider/be aware of??<br>
any other Direct vs Dish issues?? AT&T issues?<br>

and from the Dish side:<br>
We know your channels are important to you, which is why we will continue to<br>
provide you with updates on the status of our negotiations with FOX Networks.<br>
<br>
Although negotiations are ongoing, DISH Network has yet to receive a proposal<br>
from FOX that would equal anything but an overly excessive rate increase. In<br>
fact, FOX refused an extension to keep the channels on the air while<br>
negotiations continue.<br>
<br>
Now FOX is threatening to block its local TV stations in many markets if DISH<br>
Network does not agree to their demands.<br>
<br>
In this economy, we feel a strong obligation to protect our customers from<br>
unreasonable expenses like what FOX is demanding. We will continue to work<br>
toward a fair agreement and we thank you for your patience and support while<br>
negotiations continue.<br>
<br>
Thank you for being a valued DISH Network customer.<br>
<br>
Sincerely,<br>
<br>
DISH Network<br>
