Not only will you receive at least token compensation, but if enough customers complain it might motivate DISH to reach agreement with Apollo. As I told the DISH rep I just spoke with-- this isn't a Mideast Peace Treaty, how hard can it be?

Thank you for this tip. Just for an FYI, DISH tried to offer my just $3, then $5 and when I told them that one of my neighbors received an $8 credit, she agreed to that number. There is no retroactive credits, so you need to call each month.
