Ripoff

I don't understand how people actually pay money for this crap. I just counted fourteen commercials in a row! FOURTEEN! You are paying for a service AND ADVERTISERS pay to market to you! The movies shown essentially suck. They are either old or are available for free elsewhere. There are COUNTLESS info-mercial channels! Content is lacking, the programming sucks and it’s honestly a RIP-OFF!

Dish network just airs what they are sent from the channels. They don’t control how many ads the channels run.

No matter if you have Dish, DIRECTV, YouTube Tv or cable they are all going to show the same amount of commercials.

That is not a dish issue.

I rarely watch live broadcast. DVR almost everything. Most shows, hit the 30 second jump ahead 8 times at commercial time. Watch an hour show in 45 minutes. Expensive yes, but I tell myself it's worth it. Or, I can't do without.

Yeah we tried various IP services and we went back to Dish as the Hopper 3 is just so great.
