I feel your pain, but can only suggest that you do your research before canceling the DISH.
I hate the DISH--we were always having errors on our bill (getting charged for shows we never ordered),losing signal, etc. And finally told them to cancel our service--I'm through. Well, then I checked cable--and it's $25 more a month for the same type of service we have with DISH. So I had DH call and "uncancel" our DISH. They got us by the short hairs here.
