It amazes me how some of you people behave over this satellite stuff. Need I remind you that you are pirating a service that hundreds of thousands of people pay for legitimately when they receive their monthly bill. Why you would think that you have some right of entitlement for a service you’re pirating baffles me. People who buy FTA receivers and cancel their cable service outright without leaving yourself at least the option of basic cable when DN/*** goes down; I call those individuals simply irresponsible/ignorant. You cannot expect a 100% up time for a service that you not paying for; no different than if you purchased a ghost line cell phone. At some point it will go down because you are not paying for it legitimately. How is this reality check? The legitimate customers are up right now. Stop complaining and learn to be patient with a level of integrity that these guys are doing their best to get us all back up and running. If you can't deal with the downtime you can always choose to call and order your service; they're offering 3 months free programming at $120. Catch my drift?
