I flipped open my Dish Network DVR program guide today to discover the company had forced down a 5-minute commercial for its PocketDish product overnight. Without my permission or consent, they wrote data onto the DVR I own.
This is not cool. It”s very cable company-like, and I don”t appreciate it one bit. I paid for this DVR, Mr. Ergen, and I will decide what gets written to it.
