[QUOTE="paganpink, post: 234889, member: 5419"] I'm a DISH customer and I know that they are in the middle of a natiowide upgrade for anyone who has high definition boxes. You have until 9/15/07 to upgrade or you won't be able to receive their new HD channels and it may not work correctly on the old HD channels. So you schedule the free upgrade and they come out and swap out your receivers. What's weird is that their technicians (who are actually independent contractors) don't want, and WON'T take the old receivers with them. Instead, DISH offers you $50 if you will return the old receiver to them yourself. They do this by sending an empty box a few days later with ARS labels inside and foam packing pieces for each end to cradle it. So there must be zillions of extra boxes out there. You don't necessarily see those come back though because people either blow it off ,like they do mail in rebates, as being too much trouble, or they drop off the ARS returns somewhere else. They may have other return plans where people who are stopping service are sent a box to return them in as well. I find DISH, by the way, much better than DirectTV, with a much better and way faster menu screen, and more HiDef channels. [/QUOTE]
