I had Dish from about 1998 to 2003 or so.
At one time they charged me for a very basic channel and
then for $1.00 per month per channel I paid about $15.00
a month extra only for the channels I wanted.
We finally got so tired of watching TV-the survivor shows turned me off TV altogether. My son pays for Hulu Plus and that is all we need. We get our new here.
Just learned Comcast (owner of msnbc) is paying Al Sharptons legal bills from his many scams. Figures.
