Default Direct TV vs Dish

My sister used Dish for quite a few years. *Her equipment was looking
pretty ragged.


I talked her into switching to Direct TV so she could get 3 months
free movies and new equipment.


Well after a little over a year she is having trouble with one of her
tuner boxes. *She says she has to reset the box to get it to work. *It
will work for a while and then she has to reset the box again.


Direct TV wants 75$ to come out and check it. *I asked for a
replacement box, but they say it is the cable and not the box and they
want to make the 75$ service call.


Swap one of your working ones with the suspect one. *See if it fails in the other
room also.



I am thinking that she should just go back to Dish and get a new 3
month free movies and a free installation.


Thoughts?
