Default BEWARE NEW AND CURRENT DISH TV USERS

We recently moved into a home whose previous owner had Dish Network TV. We decided to go with Comcast and although the previous owner had his Dish service disconnected, the dish itself remained in the back yard. I spent two hours on the phone with the Dish representatives who said they would NOT send anyone out here to remove the dish and for us to pull it out ourselves or hire an outside satellite company to remove it at a cost of about $99! Now this thing was cast in a cement base that was absolutely impossible to just "pull out" as they suggested. I feel that the Dish Network should have removed THEIR equipment at the cancellation of the service and NOT expected us to pay for someone to remove it...especially since we did not order it in the first place. If ever I would have considered Dish Network, I am now definitely anti-Dish! The supervisor was rude and of no assistance whatsoever... so beware that if you get Dish YOU and only YOU will be responsible to remove the dish from your backyard or there it will remain for good!
