Have you got anything without spam?

TIL that if you try to cancel Dish Network just because you don't want it any longer the process takes 30 to 45 minutes. But, if you tell them the person in the house has passed away (even if it's technically not true), it takes less than 5, although they still try to get you to "transfer it to a family member that could use the longevity credits".

I needed to cancel it at two places, my home (we've cut that cord) and my in-law's house which I was paying for as well to help them out (I've cut their cord). We now get the same channels (at least those we watch) for less than 1/3rd the price of Dish.

Cutting the cord is awesome. We haven't missed it one bit, and love saving the $110/month. Get ready for "please come back, have we got a deal for you!" letters and calls for the next couple years.

So, how do you get a signal?

ChannelMaster Long Range Antenna installed in my attic. It was installed to pick up old analog signals and HDTV signals when HDTV was a new thing and cable/satellite didn't carry the signal. It has been in disuse since about 2008 but is now getting a work out.
