yah .. for me, it's not so much that they've taken a turn for the worst-- but, they have to see the writing on the wall [hate using those terms, back against the wall, under the gun, etc., etc], but, they want a rather big chunk of change [$$$$] for their service .. one would think they'd realize that if they want people to continue with their service, they need to come down on the prices ... Of course, I've been expecting DISH and DTV to [again] see the light -- but !!!
For me, hopefully IPTV, which is the greatest thing to come along for us "testers" in years, will put them both out of service !
Just my feelings --- but they both have been gouging people for yrs.. at first it was a matter of [yes, again] the nickel and dime crap. But, they've just gotten out of control with pricing -- so-long to both.
