Charter Cable TV Commercials... |
|
|
They are advertising on local TV spots that Dish Network has dropped Comedy
Central and all channels from the same network. Stating that "Left their
customers locked into contracts paying for services they no longer
receive..." or something to that nature....
That is not true, right? If so, how can Charter get away with that?

Are they saying that is the current situation, or that it has happened
before and do you want to have a service that will allow it to happen again?
Big difference as one is true and the other isn't. |

My only guess than is maybe it's an old commercial. You weren't watching it
on a DVR from last year were you? :)
It did happen in the past, but is not currently AFAIK. |

It definitely looks like an old commercial, but they have been playing it
non-stop for the past few weeks.
I think it is one of the "local" commercials that broadcasts over the
regular commercials.
I wrote dish about it. They said they are checking into it.
How long did that last? My dish service had all the channels they mention
since last January or so...
