We originally had Direct TV for several years.  We loved it, but their service was contracted through local contractors, and was terrible.  Every time we had a problem, it took several weeks to correct.  Finally, we switched to Dish Network.  The service was great, but you are correct, they keep changing the rules in the middle of the game.  If you contact them and complain, it is a total waste of your time.  They could care less and even their "supervisors" either have no authority or don't care.  Direct TV always tried to make the customer happy.  Long story short, we are going back to Direct TV.  We made a mistake changing to Dish Network in the first place. They are unethical. Ohhhhh, how the truth hurts.

All they told me was that they were changing my channels to better suit "me". Which is such a lie because I liked my channels before. Now just as the original poster said, I have a bunch of channels that are not HD but SD channels that are stretched. I may be wrong but I'm pretty sure that old episodes of Full House from 1990 are not really in HD. I contacted dish about the exact same thing.

I ASSUME that you have to contact Dish to get those alternative channels, since we don't have them automatically showing up on our menu when we go through our choices. I just listed what I was told, and the alternatives were just called alternatives and no explanation as to how to access them was given. Good luck!

What do you mean by this? Does this mean that you can choose to have those channels and not the other channels listed as replacements? I've got the Dish network HD only package and as for news I get CNN, CSPAN, and CNBC but since Fox news is not in HD yet I can't get that channel. I was wondering if my alternative you meant that somehow I could choose to have fox news rather than the others... please explain...

And, for the record - I like the Smithsonian channel. :) BJJB, it seems to work for the homeschooled masses, give it a go! But then you'd have no one to keep you company. thanks, dc – my hubby said the same thing after reading my diatribe, but I was just going off the list sent to me by the (obviously highly-trained) helpful guy from Dish.

My only concern is the effect it would have on the 10 YO chillun. We would have to replace it with things like books, quality time with games, and outdoor activities. I hope this doesn't keep her from getting into a good college. I am seriously considering nixing my TV. My only concern is the effect it would have on the 10 YO chillun.
