They agreed to update both my receivers and dish at no cost and no contract. I think the pendulum is starting to swing in favor of consumers when it comes to cable and satellite suppliers.



I would be VERY CAREFUL when they tell you "no contract" on an equipment UPDATE (UPGRADE). You should call back to confirm before you have it done and have them send you that in an email. Seeing they are upgrading the dish your equipment must be pretty old (or you inherited an old dish).
