Dear Dish,
I'm gonna hit you content distribution clowns with what is known as the compliment sandwich.
When I first signed on with you I did so because you offered every available broadcast of NHL games, sometimes as many as 3 separate feeds of the same game. This pleased me because certain broadcasts, well, how do I put this, are just freaking unwatchable. I applauded your full coverage and extra satellite time.
That was the bottom piece of bread in our little hoagie.
Here come the slices of screw you, up yours, and French kiss my balloon knot.
As a distributer of programming you seem to have lost a grip on the very core of your business. You ( the distributer) are contracted by me (the guy who pays a hefty wad of cash for a boat load of channels that he will never even glance at just so he can watch/DVR Dallas Stars and NHL games) to provide what I want/paid for.
You're not doing that.
Let's watch TV? That's the tagline on your "regular guy" commercial? May I suggest a rewrite to, "Lets watch TV that we at Dish have chosen to pay for and provide for you. Sorry hockey."
You morons have failed miserably.
And if you think you are doing all us subscribers a favor by trying to be the lowest priced provider well let me give you a little lesson in supply and demand. If I demand Stars Hockey on Fox Sports Southwest and you can't supply it, I'm firing your sorry butt and gladly giving my $200 a month to someone who can.
I guess we need the top slice of white bread don't we. Well...lets see. Oh I know., I know. (pause) You provide an easy to understand remote control.
There. A wonderful stacking of positive, negative, positive.
Now that you're feeling quite good about yourself I'd like to burst that smug little penny-pinching bubble of yours by announcing Razor's Kiss Dish Goodbye program and I am expecting an army of support.
Sincerely yours,
A really pissed off Razor Reaugh
