I figured this day was coming when Janet stated how "subscriber friendly" Dish was compared to Directv. In essence she was bragging how Dish was ignoring the law to her benefit.

I hope she is prepared to eat humble pie when she tries to go back to Directv if DISH stops beaming her illegal programming. I hope she hasn't burned all her bridges with them although it sure looks like it.

Pegasus is gone. I have a different address and different RV. Who knows they might consider me a new customer and give me stuff for free.

I would get networks from DTV, but I'd lose baseball unless I had two accounts. One for the house and one for the RV. The RV account wouldn't get baseball.

I don't think Dish was ignoring the law for mobile accounts. The stuff I read was that they were providing distant networks to people who lived in areas covered by local networks. That was their no-no.
