Sort of related... I just got Comcast here at the house . I used to have The Dish Network. I live in the foothills of Colorado and the dish just sucked because of the snow and the wind. So when we put solar panels on the roof last November. ( Solar panels are less effected by the snow and wind so far. We do get 300 days of sunshine here). Anyways the Dishes had to go. I called the Dish Network and asked if they wanted them back and they said no. I called a couple recycling folks and they said no. I called Dish back and asked them if they would take them back if I dropped them off at their office. Again they said no dice. I was thinking what a waste and was reminded of when we moved from our previous house in Denver and had to leave the Dish Networks Dishes there. Long story short I was now committed not to throw them away but get Dish to take them back and reuse them. I drove to their head quaters and they would not let me in and I thought I was doing them a favor.
Well my next step was to find out the CEO's name. Charlie Ergen. Turns out he lives in Colorado so I shipped them to his house with a note telling to recycle. I hope they are sitting in his garage right now.
