You will pay about $16 total for new hardware - shipped and installed
You will get to watch Comedy Central, et al.
In other words, I get more stuff that I want and I get to keep $44 in my pocket. I don't know how things work out for the more elaborate packages, but if you have a basic subscription, make the change!
Oh, and if anyone from DishNetwork is reading this, feel free to contact me abount my consultation services. I will happily explain (using small words) why you are losing customers and show you (for a fee) the difference between your ass and a hole in the ground.

Now consider this.
Sign up as a new customer to Dish.
Pay $50 up front, get $50 credit on first bill. By my calculations, thats $16 less than $16, shipped and installed. Want a DVR, sure have one. Want a high definition reciever? Sure, have one of those, too. Now, onto programming. On any satellite system, you will be under contract for at least a year. DirecTV programming starts out at $39.99 with locals. I'll give you the $10 off per month for the first 6, so we'll call it $29.99. Keep in mind that you are under a year contract, so thats $419.88 for your first year of programming. On Dish Network, basic programming starts out at $29.99. That's $359.88 for the first year. Take advantage of their annual payment option, and pay $329.89. Granted its only a 60 channel package, but it is cheaper. Take the Top 120 for your next year, and you'll still save $39.99 a year over DirecTV.
I do doubt that anyone from Dish is reading this, but they could probably tell you all about how they are not losing customers, but rather how they are gaining them at an exponential rate, and faster than all others (DirecTV, cable...) combined. Dish Network has more Latino customers than DirecTV has all international customers combined. As I stated in my defensive post on the other thread regarding this matter, I will reiterate:
