  1. I remember the dual analog dials on my little TV. Now I have a 52" flat plasma screen and mobile TV on my phone courtesy of DISH Network’s employee program. I used to think that I liked COMCAST, but after feeling disappointed with the service I switched to satellite. I am so glad I did, you can too at dish.com.
