I will say this week has been a little different. I troubleshooted on the phone with the tech at 1800 number and it looks like our dish has shifted slightly causing a little pixilation at times. They are coming out this morning to fix it. I got an appointment in one day. They said if it is an equipment problem they will replace the equipment all included in the protection package. I do agree that we should not have to pay extra for the protection package, but it reminds me of when I had a home phone with AT&T and they had a similar set up and it was also $5.00 a month if they had to come inside the house. I wish you good luck in getting this problem fixed as I know how frustrating it can be to lose your TV. I would be lost without mine. I just like knowing it is there in case I get bored.
ohhhh, I got mine from Verizon for .50 a month many years ago, never raised it ..only used it once tho...
