If you decide to get Dish Network I can give you a code for Free $99 activation without signing the contract, and $30 off your first bill. I recommend Carbonfiberhooded to do the install. PM me if necessary. ---

Look here [www.dishnetwork.com](http://www.dishnetwork.com) and let me know what programming package suits your needs, and how many HD, HD-DVR, standard DVR, and standard receivers you need. Shoot me a PM. ---

this will be the final straw for me using TW. Joe/carbonfiberhooded - so you can get around the activation fee and signing a contract? My biggest reason for staying with TW previously was I was told you have to sign a contract. ---

Ha so not only do they take away channels for a period of time, they come back out and say “Oh yea, here are your channels back but we are raising your rates?” lol Signup for directv. I can get you $50 ---

My biggest reason for staying with TW previously was I was told you have to sign a contract. Yep, I can get you around both no problem. travisn will need a referral too if anyone has one, send it his way. Just let him know what it is when you send it. Tell him I’ll need it. ---

sadly people will just pay it so TW will do nothing about it. kinda like 4$ gas. as long as people are stupid enough to pay it, the rates will continue to be higher and higher. Capitolism is FUN ---

Tell him I’ll need it. Sent. Anyone else who needs one let me know. Disclaimer: I also get something out of the deal, $5 off a month for 10 months. You actually get more but this way people don’t say im scamming. ---

I love how the Viacom thing was supposed to be like 26 cents a customer, yet they are raising the rate about $5 a month. Why do they need to raise the DVR cost per month, it has nothing to do with cost of programming? The unit is a fixed price they purchased. ---

Where are all of the TW humpers? Every other thread about TW is loaded with 3-4 people that work there trying like mad to defend the actions of a massive company. I will probably hold out until I can get the full FIOS package. ---
