Cignal Satellite service

DREAM

I have frequently read complaints about the service provided by Dream Satellite Tv, including that they operate a monopoly and recently they elimated their 790 service and those that bought ten months package did not get any compensation when the cable channel offerings were reduced to 650 and no extension of these people packages including mine! And even worse they never emailed, called, or even posted on their website any notice of this downgrade and change except to note the new packages! Dream tv makes you call them long distance at your expense when you want to load or have problems or upgrade or downgrade instead of putting a free SUN number in and putting an instant chat program their website or even better giving you a skpye number to call.
