Well I called and spoke with several Dish people. They wouldn't budge on the termination fee ($480.00). Thankfully I use virtual CC #'s when doing any business over the internet so I just deleted that card. When they go to hit it for $480 + postage for returning their equipment (insult to injury) it will just fail. My current credit score is 830 so if I decide to not eventually pay it I will take a hit but not sure I care at this point in my life.
I thought about using a VPN with MLBTV a long time ago but heard they had gotten much better at detecting them so didn't want to throw $200 away to watch 29 other teams play.
Anyway thanks to poster who mentioned ATT-TV. I totally overlooked the fact that they carry MASN. I got it up and running this morning so now if we can just get the players well I'll once again be a happy camper. I still feel like MASN is the Nationals worst enemy.
Call or go on line with your credit card company to challenge the charge when it occurs. That will at least slow them down and you never know. Can't hurt.
