I thought it would be fun to see how many (may not be many of us on the webring that had Dish) made the switch to Directv?
I rec'd my call from the DIRECTV guy tonight, he will be here at 8:30 in the am.
He told me he had just hooked up Justin McBride's gma today, she had DISH. I'm sure she wanted to be able to see him win the million; if he did this year.
I asked him how many installs he had done due to OLN being pulled by DISH. He told me there were a lot of bull riding fans out in western OK (many everywhere) and that he had done about 25-30 this week and only 5 were NOT related to the OLN/Dish dilemna. He said there are a lot of PBR fans out here!
I noticed tonight that there is not even a 151 channel (former OLN channel) on Dish. I'd say it is a done deal with Dish/OLN.
Glad I am switching, I will be the first one on his agenda in the am.
If you made the switch ( I don't know if this will work good since there may not be many of us that had DISH) when you finish your post put a #? at the end.
Might be fun to see how many of us there were. I will be

No, I didn't get to. I just couldn't this year. So I'll be watching from the website. Maybe next year I guess. God Bless

My directv installer was here this am at 8:30. He told me that next on his list for the day was a NEWBERRY in Elk City that is married I believe he said to a cousin of Jody Newberry's. They were ready for their install. He spoke to her and told her he would be there as soon as he could. How funny that the riders families had to make the switch due to DISH.
I must say I LOVE my Tivo DVR. I am very glad I made the switch. It hink I am going to be very happy.
okay that is 3 of us that switched so far. This might be interesting.
It is funny b/c when I called to disconnect my DISH the man asked me why I was cancelling, I told him due to OLn being taken off and the PBR world finals tonight.
He said "Oh....the PBR". I figured by now he knows what the PBR is about and how much the fans want their PBR on OLN!
I am very very glad I have DIRECTV. I LOVE it! I would recommend it to everyone. I have the DVD-R. with Tivo, it is awesome! I have already rewound some rides , very neat to do.
Julie Schneberger (3 of us so far)

I guess only 3 of us out of 100 were forced to make the switch.
I still LOVE my Directv. I had to make cupcakes & relish trays etc for my daughters trick or treat party tomorrow and I was able to record it on Tivo and I'm going to watch it in a minute.
All of you already know who is in the lead after the first weekend, I will know in an hour or so.
Thanks to you guys for responding, I really thought there would be more of us affected by the cut of OLN on Dish.
Can't wait til' next weekend.
