Lansing State Journal:Schneider: Comcast compromises on vanishing satellite equipment
My Comments:
The digital home plan from Dish Network is basically a lease program where you don't own the equipment. This is very good if anything ever goes wrong with your equipment, because it is fixed or replaced for free. However, you are responsible for returning the equipment when you cancel the contract. As was the case in this story, a cable installer hauled away the equipment without asking any questions and Barb Francis found herself on the hook for $383.63 worth of satellite tv equipment. Make sure you understand your subscription and return the equipment if you need to in order to avoid problems. It's no different than returning the digital box to the cable company, they would come after you too if you threw it in the garbage.
