OT<URGENT...DISH CUSTOMERS

[Patti Feinberg]

I just went on Dish via my computer.
Within 2 seconds, screen went all red; there was a largish white X, and words like 'possible phishing' (Thanks MB & Midnite, I wouldn't have know what that is).

I immediately got off; opening McAfee; no problems there.

I went back to Dish, same bad thing.

Waited, again, B A D.

At this point, I called Dish (you know, one of the 'American' companies absolutely not in America, not hiring Americans....how the f**k do they expect us to pay for it??) (And no, you've never heard me say/type that word before!!)

I explained 3 times (again, because of the language difference), and she put me on hold a couple of times.
While on hold, I went back on; seemed to be better, but I won't go on again today.

If it's alright w/the mods, I'm going to put a one-line note on Testing & Current Talk to see this thread; I don't want anyone's 'puter getting jacked-up.

I know your intentions are good, Patti, but since DS Forums is searchable, we don't allow cross-posting and ask that posters choose the board that's best suited for their message.

I've got cable, Patti, so I'm not familiar with all the satellite companies, but I heard that Dish is among the worst.  It gets in battles with channels and networks and then dumps them off.  It got into a big hellabaloo when it got into a war with AMC and dropped it.  Of course, The Walking Dead was an AMC show, the highest rated cable/satellite show on TV, and customers went ballistic and Dish lost over a million customers.

Oh really Gerard, you don't say. 

In 2008, I called Comcast; they said our small street wasn't 'wired' for cable.

I called back in '12; they could see the 4 year previous call, but no plans for cable.

I ABHOR Dish.

Yes, a few years back, they did the "Walking Dead' switcharoo with me too.
