Have any of you changed over to the new cable service, TurboHD, advertised in today's paper? If so, what do you think about it?

This is apparently a new service from Dish TV. It is a sattelite service.

because that is how they are advertising it.."new cable service...". That must be just to draw you in, huh? Thanks for the info.

If you Google "TurboHD" you will find it is the Dish Network.
They run that ad every so often but don't want it to appear it is really the Dish Network. Based on the reputation they have earned, I can see why.
Dish Network tried to sell me their service and I told them I didn't want it. They persisted to the point where I had to tell them to get off my property.

Turbo HD is indeed another name for Dish Networks HD package. I have subscribed to the Dish Network since 1995, why, I'll never know. Although their signal quality is excellent, their customer service is the worst I have ever experienced. God love you if you have a problem or a question.

Like many of you here have stated, I want nothing to do with DishNetwork. We tried them in Texas and ended up returning to cable. We had a major storm that messed ours up that was mounted on the roof. When I called and told them, they wanted $150 to come out and see what the problem was (I had just told them what it was), then additional charges would be made for the parts. When I said to forget it, I would just go back to cable, they offered to drop it to $50. I then asked them why I would do that when cable charged nothing, bid them a farewell and went back to cable. Oh yeah, they never did get the local channels as promised would be there in no more than 4 months.
