from [log in to unmask] Hello, all! I'm checking to see what everyone is doing for access to foreign programming. Is anyone still subscribing to satellite broadcasts? I have been using SCOLA and DishNET. Scola is fine. Dealing with DishNET, however, is a royal pain. Particularly since they have gone completely commercial. Last year I spent far too many hours on the phone with various people in the attempt to come to some reasonable agreement regarding fees. They raised the fees for TV-5 at least twice, and then more than tripled the fees for the Spanish-speaking network. So instead of paying $100/yr for TV-5 and $200/yr for Dish Latino, I paid them over $985. And they were supposedly giving me a big break! We will be charged the "normal" rates this year, whatever they are! DishNET will not put anything into writing, except for a printed invoice which usually does not reflect the agreed-upon amount. They will not send an email message, for example. Has anyone had better luck with them in the last year or two? If so, with whom have you dealt?
