DISH Network Reviews

Despite the bad reviews, at the beginning I was quite happy with Dish. However, after a couple of months the TVs stopped working and the antenna had an issue. I called Dish and they told me that a tech must go to take care of the issue since they couldn't do anything remotely. I had to pay $95.00 for the tech to come and fix the issue, soon after 3 weeks it broke again and I called and they told me that it will be another $95.00 for them to come and fix the same issue. Therefore, I decided to obtain the cheapest package and just pay a monthly fee without TV because it was less than paying a cancellation fee.

Subscribed to DISH in June 2011. Autopay, Mid-Line Channel Line Up. Had several equipment issues requiring returns and replacements. Never received billing credits for lost service times. Tonight waited 90 minute X 2 for disconnected calls to their customer service line, plus one online chat which took 18 minutes to connect and the foreign based agent could not offer a solution (on error code 981). Evidentially they programmed a complicated computer upgrade of services that destroyed service for all too many, no notice and support, their online support didn't fix the issues. When I did reach a very helpful agent he offered me a $40.00 credit to my bill for next 12 months. Just so disgusted and exhausted, I said no and cancelled. 7yrs never a late payment on autopay, also paid for service agreement and was treated poorly. Perhaps this is the wave of the future but decided to shop elsewhere.

I have had nothing but problems with this sorry company and have, today, been on hold with tech support for hours on end with no answer. Any cable or satellite provider would have to be preferable to DISH. The minute I can get someone to answer the damn phone I’m canceling my service which is basically no service at all. Doesn’t work half the time and can’t get anyone on the phone to help. The worst service ever! There should be a law against them staying in business. Ugh!!!

We have had for 2 yrs which was a act of Congress with missed appts and wrong address. Scheduled a appt today, took off work and they still had wrong address. Now they are scheduling another and refuse to do it next day! This is the worst ever! Go somewhere else! It’s one lie after another and they don’t care about the customer.

As a new Dish customer, I have had nothing but tech problems. The service goes OUT every night and stays off for several minutes (apparently for updating their programming), which they never told me about beforehand. I have tried calling customer service and always have a WAIT TIME of MORE than 35 minutes!!! Right now, I have NO picture on one of my TVs but a GREAT picture on the other! This company is FOULED UP like a soup sandwich. I hope and pray that they go out of business, and the sooner the better!!

You can't get just the channels you want. Buy a package and pay for channels you never watch. Price keeps going up. Customer service sucks. I absolutely hate dealing with them. One of my set top boxes died. I did all of the logical stuff: TV works fine with another box, box does not work on another TV. Tried different cable. Box is obviously dead. Called support; on hold for 45 minutes. Rep insisted that I try all the same stuff. Turn it off and on, try different cable, make sure the TV works with another device, try box on a different TV. Another 30 minutes and same results. Transfers me to an "engineer", on hold again. Engineer asked me to power off and on, try different HDMI port, make sure the TV works, try box on another TV... same stuff again.

DO NOT BUY POLK SOUND SYSTEM FROM DISH! It is a ripoff. After 2 weeks my husband called because the system would go out after 10 minutes. Dish said call Polk. We did and they told us it was a power cord -- they would send one. Three weeks later, they did and guess what -- it did not help! Now Polk said call Dish. It will never work on our TV because we cannot shut off the TV sound. Dish says their warranty is only 30 days although Polk says 90 -- so now we are stuck with 500.00 worth of crap!!!

I have been with DISH since 8/18/2018. I opened the account paying 49.00 for two years guaranteed. They started billing me 60.00 shortly then it went up. I got it down to 53.00 by going on the flex pack which means I lost half of my package. I spent three hours on the phone 2 months ago with a shark trying to get it down. Now it is back up to 64.00. I am sure you know what is going on because so many people I know have trouble... MY QUESTION TO YOU IS WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO ABOUT IT!!!

I thought the salesman was nice. He offered us a great price for the same service we had with DirecTV. I asked him twice if we would have the same channels and he said yes twice. My husband also asked if he would have the Southwest Sports Houston Astros. and he said yes again. I DO NOT have any of the premium channels I had and my husband does not have his Astros channel. BEWARE! If the offer sounds too good to be true it is.

We recently canceled DISH, now for the last 2 weeks we have not been getting our favorite channels. I have called three times and all they say is, "You have to call a tech." Well I am moving in three days so why would I call a tech now? They know that we are moving then. This has never happened before, I have been with DISH for 3 years now, and all of a sudden we are having trouble getting our favorite channels. I told them that I think they are doing this on purpose and the girl said no they can't do that, but I know that they can. I used to build these boxes and they can get into your TV through these boxes. I have to pay an early cancellation fee of $255.00. I think that I should not have to pay this for the service that we have been given these last two or more weeks. We have been treated very unfairly. We are so mad that we can't watch our shows. This company needs to be investigated to the fullest. Thank you.

I have had DISH Network for about 20 years. I am missing my two local channels and only thing I hear is them talking about money. They're not even bringing up the customer and the service to the customer. However after all these years I've never been hung with a crazy contract like these Jokers have now. They are not going to let you cancel one way the other. They're holding a gun to their employee's head I guess. My contract is over in October I already have my box and I'm sending all their crap back to them. They're even telling you on TV to go down to RadioShack and get you a local antenna which is bull crap. Paying what you do these Jokers I can't believe that they're telling you to go get your own antenna.

Before signing up for Dish we asked everyone we spoke with at Dish and the installer if we should be concerned about signal loss. Everyone told us Dish did not have signal loss any longer due to signal and dish improvements. Our experience has not been up to their assurances. We have discovered that if we are in a weather alert area we will probably lose the signal. Thank heavens we have a cell phone to monitor the approaching Weather and Tornado alerts.

The two year price guarantee does not exist. They charge random amounts for their services without rationale. The customer service department bounces you around but you cannot find someone that is accountable or even has a logical answer. They require your credit card to begin service then they charge whatever they want. The company voided our agreement in the first 4 months by increasing the bill to more than the two year price guarantee amount. When I refused to pay the increase they cancelled service and charged me an early cancellation fee and immediately withdrew that amount from my account. Very expensive lesson that you can avoid by NOT subscribing to this service. Customer service representatives laugh at your predicament and transfer you to their supervisor who does the same. Do not get fleeced by this company.

I have no issues with service but I have price lock and service has never changed. My monthly billing varies by $5, $10, $15, and amounts in between every month... It makes no sense and I have to keep a total going to make sure the end amount isn't more than it should be. Nobody cares about a dollar or 2 from taxes or month length but this makes no sense to me and is the reason for 4 stars. Anyone know why this is done? My credit card company has contacted me about this because of fraud protections which is inconvenient.

I am a disabled person who receives a monthly income trying to have some kind of TV services for some kind of entertainment here in my home. I set myself up with DISH Network Service in the beginning of 2018 when I spoke to the people or person on the phone they quoted me one price for 12 months of $85.75. As the months continue I was slowly getting charged extra money $0.48 here and then it jumped up to a dollar and $0.68 extra. I contacted them on the phone and they told me that that was due to some kind of taxes which didn't make sense to me but okay I rented a movie on the 20th of May. When I rented this movie the first station that I rented it from did not work so I contacted the company and explain to them what was going on. The customer service worker at that time informed me that she would refund me the money and that I needed to reorder the movie on another station which was considered as on demand

I was charged 91.00 after cancelling my service and turning in my equipment. These people are lying thieves. They literally charged me when I did not live in the house. Had terminated service and had no equipment. I was with them for 15 years. Dont get caught in their trap. Horrible service. Horrible people.

After having to hold for 45 minutes, I was verbally accosted and had to basically argue with Patrick in Texas and defend my determination to cancel service. He went round and round trying to convince me that I should put my service on hold and use it when I move to California. I stated I was not interested numerous times and he proceeded to go on and on about $40 off and (like he knows) that the service can be used at my new location because they are a satellite service. I stated that we need to move on to the cancellation since I am not going to continue service no matter what, and he stated that he "just needs to do his job" and proceeded in trying to convince me not to cancel. Finally, he put me on hold because this is "a process", which took another 15 minutes. The customer service is non existent. If I were to get cable service again, I would definitely remember the exit treatment I had and would NEVER get DISH again.

Took me four hours, FOUR HOURS, to cancel my service. We have a new provider and I was given the run around by three different "customer service" agents who said I couldn't cancel until we 'unbundled' our account from HughesNet. I called HughesNet and they said they could not unbundle because the 'promotion was over.' Got hold of a 'specialist' who was obviously a specialist at trying to convince people not to cancel, and he warned me that DirecTV was being sued and would be out of business soon.

I called a couple of months ago to try and cancel our Dish network and the customer service lady was nice enough and I ended up just downgrading our services for by over $66. But after figuring out that we couldn’t get to our Netflix account through our Hopper we decided to contact Dish to troubleshoot. Long story short the technicians that my husband and I talked with via telephone and web chat were helpful and told us that the Netflix error was an ongoing issue that the Engineering Team was working on and we would just have to wait. They ran system checks on our Hopper and tried everything they could do to get it working. Later that evening we decided that since we couldn’t use a service that we were already paying for that we would just cancel Dish. Basically we decided that we were done. So we called customer service and after a 20 minute wait period we were connected to a representative, Robert.

I have been a LOYAL customer for 11 years. Recently, I called due to issues with my service... During that call I was offered a Preferred Customer deal where I can save $25.00 a month for TWO YEARS, can save $5 more for autopay, but upon checking my bill I am NOT saving the $25 I was promised. Contacting DISH is pointless due to blatant lies I keep getting told. You give your loyalty, but don't get the same in return! I'm seriously looking into joining one of their competitors, as this is INEXCUSABLE!

Been a customer since 2012 and decided to cancel my service. I can do anything online with this company except cancel service. Now am on hold going on minute 37 on an estimated 26 minute wait time. Since they want to waste my time I will spend the time writing negative reviews until they come on the phone and take care of my business. Let me not pay my bill and they can cut me off automatically but to voluntarily want to cancel and they make it almost impossible.

I have never been upset enough to write a review on a company before. I just spent almost 30 minutes on the phone with an idiot. He was cruel, belittling, and just plain mean. He yelled at me, told me how dense I was for wanting to cancel Dish Network. If I would have been a timid person or challenged with anxiety, I would have cried and hung up. Nobody should be treated that way. If this is how companies that have service subscription based customers treat someone that doesn't want their service any longer, then someone needs to step in. I am beyond disgusted. Don't you people have monitoring on your representatives? If he was in an office setting, someone had to have heard his language towards me and the yelling. Where was his supervisor? Do you pay them bonuses if they can bully customers from leaving? I will never NEVER use dish again. Just disgusting.

We had Dish network for four years, simply because we are in a rural area and it was either Dish or DirecTV and we already had the Dish satellite dish. Service wasn't that great and they charged an arm and a leg for it. Service went out anytime it snowed or stormed. We are moving to an area where there are a lot better options and called to cancel... what an ordeal! It was a half hour long phone call. Turns out, we should've called to cancel a long time ago, because they offered it to us for literally less than half the price we were paying and NO CONTRACT! I kept telling the guy that I really just wanted to cancel and I don't want to hear about his offers. He kept putting me on hold for lengthy amounts of time then coming back with better offers. Bottom line, the service isn't good, it's ridiculously expensive for what they offer and they make it very difficult to cancel. I won't be going with Dish or recommending it in the future.

Moved to North Carolina in April, the 12th. Had an appt for Dish to install my furniture. Did not arrive, I was told the furniture would arrive the following week. This went on for 2 more times. Each time I called prior to my appt. Well my furniture finally showed up yesterday. And today I find out Dish canceled my appt and said it was for frequent cancellation. No warning, no phone call just a email the night before. Another large company taking advantage of a senior citizen. I am 70 years old and I slept on the floor for 45 days and now another company is pushing me aside. Their response "there is nothing I can do." Tired of these people disregarding the elderly.

I was with Dish since 2002 and very pleased. It was first installed on the right back corner of my home on a pole. After about 3 years I began to have signal problems. I called them and they sent a tech out who said the dish needed to be moved for better signal. They move it to the front center of my yard. It stayed the for 3 years and again began to have problems. They again move it to the left back side of my home. Again 3 years later we began having signal problems. Called again. They again wanted to move it. This time back to the right side of my yard to the front corner on the county line. I told them I did not believe the county would allow it and I am tired of it being moved. I wanted to cancel. They are making me pay for cancellation. DON'T GET CAUGHT IN THEIR TRAP.

I called to get pricing information. They would not give any information unless I gave my address and social security number. I politely declined and tried to end the conversation. She said she could give information with just my address. I gave it to her. She put me on hold. Another person came on the phone telling me there are special deals for first time callers, he needs my social security number. Again I explained I was just looking for information. He became very angry and rude and hung up on me. (?) Guess I'll give my money to another company.

I own a rental home and the renter call Dish Network. Dish Network installer bolted a dish to the $8,500 roof. Putting four holes in the roof. I remove the dish. Patch the holes up temporarily. Hired a roofer. Had the roof repaired. Sent pictures to Dish Network of the damage, the bill and the repaired roof. They told me that they weren't responsible. Nobody contacted me the actual owner of $189,000 home to see if it was okay for Jim**, Billy ** idiot Dish Network installer to bolt a freaking dish to the roof. I suggest Dish Network changed their policy so that they have in writing signed by the actual property owner before the installer destroys roof. Just my opinion and a person that had to pay to fix the roof.

My satellite was initially installed improperly and as I had problems I contacted the techs to inform. They detected the problems and requested a technician come to resolve, eventually, after persuasion. I had the so so services for over a year and when the system went haywire, ie guide didn't match the channels, channels completely disappeared, etc. they ran the diagnostics then told ME to look at the satellite to detect if I needed a tech. I informed I'd just looked and had no idea so go ahead and make the request. I also informed that my son was thinking about connection in his room. The tech also informed me I needed my Joey replaced in my room and that it should be the new one like my son's. He informed of the differences in function.

Switch to Hopper back in March, having nothing but issue with it. I'm having to call customer service every day. This is very frustrating. If you are asked to upgrade to Hopper don't. Can't enjoy movie or any programming with getting 1305 message.

I have been a customer of Dish for a very long time. I have noticed that they keep pushing out new technologies to bring in customers. In the process they forgot something. TAKE CARE OF THE CUSTOMERS THEY CURRENTLY HAVE... It is apparent that in the Dish network offices, there are no humans working there! I spent two days calling and even the computers were hanging up on me. Really? Why is it so hard to get to speak to someone? I'm done! DirecTV will be here on Monday...

I have been battling Dish to fix a problem with their Hopper/Lines for many days. They have changed the service appointment without my knowledge. They finally send someone, and the problem reappears the next day. I spent way too much time on hold, being switched to different people. The problem is still appearing.

The company does not explain to you when they are having issues. They are having issues now for the last 7 months. Instead of notifying us customers about the problem they make us call it in. On top of that they want us to believe everything that they say which most of the time is a lie. If anybody has ever worked with a big company like Dish when you call in they are reading off a computer screen on what to tell you. They all expect us to believe everything they say for instance. My issue with them right now is I cannot hot anything that is on demand. I pay for HBO Cinemax, Showtime, Starz Encore but I cannot watch anything on them the main channels.

I was called DISH Network to pause my services a month. Customer services only told me it will charged $5 for pause. He did not tell me my monthly discount will removed if I pause my service. Now my account is in services and bill me original price. I called back again and complained about they did not tell me pause services will removed my discount. They do not take care my issue at once. Want me to wait a few days. I am so piss off their answer.

Everything about Dish Network is absolutely AWFUL. I would advise you stay away from Dish at all costs! They were awful with installation... The service was awful... And even cancelation is extremely difficult. We had constant problems with the service and our DVR service simply never worked. They will never do anything to credit you or actually to make their service any better.

DISH has been a great package and deal. It has Pac-12 sports and San Francisco/Bay Area sports which DirecTV does not have. The ability to record, store programs and watch without commercials is very nice for a busy lifestyle.

With today being 5/13/2018, Dish Network has screwed up my new service install 3 times in the past week. The most aggravating was yesterday and today. According to Dish the tech was supposed to arrive yesterday between 12:45 and 1:30 pm per Dish. I didn't hear anything until 4:30-5:pm when the tech called. It was then too late for the day. It was agreed upon for a 8 am install for Sunday 5/13. Again another no call/no show this morning. After calling Dish's Customer Service and explaining that this was the 3rd screw up this week all they would do was to reschedule for tomorrow 5/14. They wouldn't do anything to make up for their screw ups. Is this any way to treat a new customer? Is any indication of future service. At this point in time Dish TV is just as bad as DirecTV.

I am fairly satisfied with Dish. Weather interference has been minimal. I really love the Hopper system (used between my two tvs). My only problem is the lag time when switching programs on the second DVR. They have fairly good channel 'tiers' with one glaring exception; sports! It takes too many 'packages' to get adequate representation. They need to offer a dedicated sports package.

Ever increasing bills for unwanted channel "additions" that are not requested nor watched. Piss poor customer service by overseas boiler room. Any good programming is becoming a "premium" selection after adding another political, infomercial, or news (read communist propaganda) channel. Stick with a coat hanger and an analog TV.

Dish Network was a great company for its variety of tv channels but I did have issues with the wireless internet which was has very slow download speeds. Then with the increase in pricing, it was just hard to keep a budget.

First 5 years Dish was good, now there is nothing good at all to say about Dish satellite. They never work with you, don't care you've been with them since inception. Try to get you for every penny! They are a crap service now.

I don’t like to have to sign up for two years and be changed for every upgrade and now I cannot get a better deal. I also did not like not being able to take over my sister account at my house when she lost her job.

I contacted Dish about my programming. A vast majority of my channels are advertisements, and very few new programs. If I want a couple better channel I like, I have to increase my entire package and yet the talk about flex pack. They said it will cost me 300.00 to leave however.

I have had Dish for quite a while. Not particularly happy with them. They offer many channels but at a price. I pay over $170 when combined with phone and internet via Windstream. Windstream is not a bargain either. I would switch but it is not convenient for me to do so. I find all of the providers not so good!

Remote and on demand easy to use. Great programming. Good value. Customer service easy to reach and helpful. Easy quick install within a short window. Love PrimeTime Anytime.

I am not satisfied with Dish. Their employees are not that knowledgeable as to most problems concerning with programming & etc which is annoying. They also slip in increases without notice.

Too many channels that try to sell you something. Price too high for basic channels. Just want basic channels with several order cartels, can't without buying the whole package.

Have Dish. What a scam. I called them to go over my bill and asked, "If I wanted to cancel Dish what would it cost me?" They stated that I have had my service for 11 months and my agreement was for 24 months but I added a tv and 'cause of that my tv I added had a extended contract. What a bunch of scammers. Stay with Spectrum. At least they are contract free. Dish scams you. The monthly amount changes from what they tell you. They are not people friendly at all and will take you for every penny they can. I should of listened to other people who told me to stay away from them. Beware of their unfair practices. Just stay away from their services and do yourself a huge favor.

Lose signal in rain. Want 9000 dollars to realign sat Receiver. Pay around 125.00 a month. Still no internet. That's another 100.00 a month. Making it a staggering 225.00 a month for sat t.v. with internet. Without Netflix or Hulu cost. Very expensive and not dependable.

As with most providers, their price keeps going up! You can get stuck on the phone for a long time with multiple voices. A real inconvenience when you have a question.

The service was great but value was terrible... no problems with the customer service but there is no bartering with them. The selection of channels or packages was not that good either.

When I signed up for this service I was supposed to have got 2 yrs same price and 1 yr reduced but they didn't honor my contract. I'm so glad it's over (contract).

Only complaint is when there are storms service is interrupted. Need to have a separate aerial to get local stations. Living in the Midwest there are frequent interruptions during snow storms and thunderstorms.

DISH is overpriced. The Hopper equipment is prone to failures, they frequently get into disputes with media companies over contracts that leaves you, the customer, not able to watch your favorite shows but instead serves to further pad their bottom-line. They have a ton of hidden fees, our monthly bill is double what the package price is. And... did I mention their equipment is horrible (by far, the worst set top boxes I have ever used).

You have to get packages that have a lot of channels you won't watch. If you could just pick the channels you want it would be great. Also they offer free things to new customers but not their long time customers.

Dish has awesome entertainment for your money. I have had them for over 14 years. No problems with billing customer service. Absolutely the greatest!

My bill has insidiously gone up, up & up, just a little at a time. It has now reached $144/mo. I was told it would be around $90/mo. I am very unhappy. I had the exact same issue with DirecTV, which is why I left them. I don't have even ONE movie channel! As I prepare to contact (call) DISH, I am shopping for another service.

Switched to Hopper on Dish, nothing but problems. Reason I switched was Netflix, did not get it for 6 mos, they told me I needed a new tv, which I purchased, still didn’t work, had a Dish service call, he blamed it on my internet server, had internet service technician, that wasn’t the problem... finally resolved. It was DISH SOFTWARE ON THE JOEY, all this time. The COST of my service has gone off the charts. As soon as I can, I am getting rid of DISH...

Please, Please offer internet! I live where cable internet is just across the street. They want $4500.00 to dig under the road for me to get it! I have a Verizon and they offer what is called a Cantenna. It is horrible and very expensive. It hangs on the side of the house. I really need Satellite Internet! Please Dish will you ever offer this?

Dish has generally been good, but their rates keep increasing, even after I renegotiate a lower one. They seem to treat new subscribers better than loyal ones. I hate having to lock in with two-year contracts.

I’m feeling very sad to write you as I got my new Dish TV on 08/05/2018, the technician came to my home and installed DISH TV DTH. But getting the "101 Unauthorized Error". He tried for a while but not able to resolve the issue. He left away without resolving the issue saying that it is a back end issue and will get it resolved in 30 mins. It is not resolved on that day and again I contacted the customer care for the same, they arranged a technician to visit again on 09/05/2018. This time the technician replaced the Set Top box with VC # 02512710281, but this time getting the "102 Low Balance Error". He also left saying that it is a back end issue and will resolve it in 45 mins. Since 09/05/2018 I’m calling to the technician and he is not picking my call.

This was one of the best providers that I have ever used, I ever had any problems with my service. When I moved to a new home there wasn’t any problem transferring my service to that address!

Their prices constantly changed from one month to the next. You did not know what your bill was going to be from one month to the next. Poor customer service as well as liars.

They move their channels constantly. They are good at reliability and their customer service and cost are also good. We have had Dish for years and have had no real problems with them.

Dish is via satellite, so when storms come it runs interference with reception. Otherwise I have been pleased with the service and their customer service department.

They never stuck to their own contracts. My bill would go up every couple of months. Trying to work with their customer service was a nightmare too! I was going thru a temporary financial set back and tried to get my service downgraded for a few months. The Rep refused saying I had to pay my current rate for the duration of my contract before I was allowed to downgrade. When I tried to turn my service off the Rep said I had to pay for the return label and the box, each $17.00 plus my bill had to be paid in full, which included the next month's bill and a shut off fee of 2/3, or 66% of the balance of my contract BEFORE I could officially turn off my service. It was a 3 month nightmare!

On windy days the picture screens would be fuzzy, loss of signal, also didn't have internet, etc. They also was supposed to send me a gift card that was never received, and when asking about it customer service would tell me it's on its way Every time.

They suck. They don’t help you when you need them. They have 1000 of excuses why and if it’s about your bill they are all dumb. So to wrap it up I been with them for 12 yrs so that makes me a **!!!

I've been with Dish since I shut down C band system. Satisfied if this comment doesn't fit your bill as a working girl states, if you're done roll off!

They overcharge for what you get and could do a lot better putting packages together. You get a lot of channels but, there are a lot of shopping channels and so many channels I do not watch.

There are occasional (frustrating) glitches in service due to contract disputes with provider groups (CBS group of networks was the latest). But Dish has excellent customer service!

We don't watch as much as we used to mostly because there are so few shows that catch our interest. The price is high and becoming a problem as our Social Security has stayed the same for the past 10 years but the costs haven't.

I reside in a rural and heavy treed area. There is no cable here or other TV provider other than DirecTV. My service with Dish provides a maintenance program at a minimal fee. No other out of pocket expenses. If I need a service or repair, I'm accommodated quickly. If I need a repair or move the dish because of the growing trees, I can arrange for service the next day. They will also upgrade your receiver or other components while they are there, some without additional cost. My neighbor has DirecTV. It takes him up to 6 months to receive a repair service which he pays out of pocket, and it is expensive to just get someone out here. DirecTV also charges to move and set up your dish whereas Dish TV doesn't.

Do not believe what they tell you to get you to sign up. I was told I would get HBO for one year. They started building the after 6 months and after much aggravation they discontinued billing me and told me I could have three more months. After that three months they told me I was done and I would have to start paying. They did not care what I was told initially. After almost one hour of arguing they agreed to give me what they had originally promised me. That was my big bonus to stay on. In addition their cable box shuts down and will not operate and system must be totally rebooted constantly usually twice a day. They replaced the box after much aggravation and the new box is considerably worse than the last box. Bad equipment, bad customer service, constant lying. I will cancel the moment I am out of contract. Do not go with Dish. They lie.

Dish Network has high price and huge “non-watchable” channels. Pay per view old movies and pay for a lot of equipment that is old and obsolete and will not change it even after asking them to.

DISH Network do a fine job. I’ve never had to call them with a problem but I’m positive there would be no problems. However they seem to be like the other ones in raising their prices but all in all they’re not too bad.

As long as your Dish functions life is good. If it doesn't you become a temporary technician by phone as they guide you through how to troubleshoot. I spend 150.00 a month on DISH and when I call for help, I don't want to be the defectors technician. I'm a physician and no one ever asks me to call in how to take an appendix out. They expect me to do it... Need more descriptions of the shows (that's one thing DirecTV did well) with casts, plot lines, ratings. An updated closed caption would be nice too.

I like DISH because I can always find something good to watch. We also have the Hopper attachment which makes the DISH deal even better!

The one thing I dislike about Dish is almost every year the company will increase their price on programming. I have been a Dish customer for almost 20 years. We are in a area where there is only 1 cable company Northland and I will not go with them. I will not change to DirecTV either. I wish some day we could get Spectrum in or area.

The cost is too high... The bundle requires you to accept channels you don't want to get the channels you do want. Seniors living on a fixed income cannot afford cable.

I have a small selection of channels that I like to watch. Dish has removed some of those channels (Discover, History, etc) and I do not like this. When Dish removed a History (His2) and replaced it with VICE I was very upset.

After a great deal of frustration several years ago with DirecTV, we switched to Dish. The Dish account had been in someone else's name but we had been paying the bills. When the other person passed away, they would not just switch the account to us, they wanted to charge us all sorts fees for turning off the service and opening up a whole new account. Since the switch, we have been very pleased.

I paid Dish off 2 times and I am still getting a bill & it's on my credit report. I'll go to my grave not paying for it. Sometimes people just have to stand up for themselves.

Very poor customer service, they can't be reached by phone, site is always down for repairs. Quote 1 price then get first bill. It would be off by $50.00.

I was happy with my service until I had siding replaced and Dish was put onto the roof. Then If there was a rain or snow storm and bye bye tv. They did come out and reset it one time and things were a little better. I signed contract for 2 years and I advised I'm considering paying termination fee ($10) a month and moving on. Didn't lose it past several storms.

Great picture, consistent service, great CS and more for the money. I 1st tried Comcast, horrible as always and though I have no complaints about DirecTV as far as service, they were about $30 more expensive

The cost for decent channel selection is ridiculous! Every time I tried to see if there was a way to reduce costs, the answer was always, “you can select a lower package”. The channels we often watch are not in the lesser package. Long time customers need incentives too!

Prices seem to always go up and the channel seem to get less. Every time you turn around they're advertising another channel that is being dropped. I also don't like how the service goes in and out all day.

They raise their prices to outrageous amounts. Most of their great price packages are for new customers and not for existing customers. Every time it rains or gets windy we lose our signal for our dish which really is frustrating.

The cable sucks, when it rains when blowing cable goes out. Every month had new charges that anyone couldn't tell me what for. Sometimes it goes out for no reason.

Reliable entertainment but limited selection for the cost. Several channels I commonly find on basic hotel plans are omitted on mine. I'm glad to know there are alternatives if/when I finally have enough.

A large selection of channels, great reception etc. I really don't have anything negative to say about Dish Network, except for one thing... I was very upset when several of the channels that I normally watched were pulled due to contract negotiations between Dish and the TV network. Since they couldn't find a way to come to terms together they pulled the network's shows from airing and said we should call the network to complain.

Dish has fought of ridiculous price hogs of the TV industry and kept our prices low while still giving us great programming. Despite the occasional storm outage, when the storm passes (about 20 -35 min max), we're up and running again. Downed poles and rain-soaked cables putting the competition down for days is not a problem with Dish. It's all good.

I call to switch because it was a lower price and they would pay off my contract. Come to find out it was a 3rd party service selling Dish Network and I never got my $100 gift card they offered for me to switch. I call and just got the runaround and they told me I was supposed to fill out paperwork and send copies of my dish bill to get the card. I had no Idea what they were talking about. They said nothing about this and then told me it expired. I never received the $100 gift card.

I had DirecTV for years and, for some reason, decided to try Dish. Mostly it was price. I've had the equipment for about 10 months and have minor issues the entire time, but it wasn't enough to worry about so I just dealt with it. Suddenly, last month, both of my Hoppers started malfunctioning. When you press RW the will FF. When you FF, it should go thirty seconds, and will only go a few seconds, so it's almost useless. Pause does not work. While watching a recorded show, if I try to stop it, it says it's delayed live TV so the only way out is to put in a channel number. I've had multiple chats, and I'm told that it has been sent to engineers for resolution. When it first came up, they wanted to charge me $150 for the tech visit.

Like a fool I went back to Dish 8 months ago and was given a locked in price for two years. After about three months my bill went up a lot, and when I called them they said they added HBO for three months without me knowing it. I asked them when I signed up not to put it on my programming and was told they would not add it on so my bill would stay the same, and they said ok, but added it on anyway so they could steal more money. Then I asked them if I changed from the Hopper to regular receivers would it change my contract time and lower my bill, and was told it would save me some money and would not change my contract.

I have been very happy with Dish Network, I used to have Cox Cable and they were very unreliable and very bad workmanship. I would not recommend them. They are the only ones in the area so I decided to go with Dish and I have been very happy with their service installation and customer service.

Dish customer service always help me finding the best deals. The only downside is the loss of signal during bad weather time. Besides, it is a good deal for me. I'm very sorry that DISH does not provide a good and reliable internet and phone service.

My problem is I have outdated equipment and refuse to upgrade because I have no contract. I love that I can pick my channels ala carte. Good value.

I have the Flex plan now because of cost, still a lot of channels that are NEVER watched. Should be able to select the channels I want and only pay for those.

We have been having trouble with the tv going off then coming back on when watching a station. It is annoying as it takes 5 minuets to start back up. Also when it rains or snows we lose the tv.

I called and canceled, the rep told me I had X amount of days left I could still watch. When my days was up it would disconnect and I would be receiving a refund. Instead I received a $70 plus bill. They refused to listen and was turned over to a collection office.

I’ve been with DISH for 8 years and for 8 years I have been told internet service is coming however, not in my area. I have paid nearly $10,000 over the 8 year period. I requested today to disconnect and go with the opposition where I can have internet coupled with tv for far less than the $145.00 I have paid monthly. Only to be told I have to pay $280.00 early termination fee. They have robbed me without a GUN.

Their program selection is terrific if you can afford all the channels. They have special that if you time it right, one can keep their rate fairly reasonable. But once, I received a customer rep. who was very hard to understand because of unclear English.

All they want to do is either try and sell you more, not addressing the issue and customer service rep wants to argue. I would not recommend this cable company to anyone.

Have been very pleased with their service. However it seems from time to time they give you channels then take them away? We are pleased with how much a month we're paying and don't want to upgrade because that means paying more per month and only to get a bunch of channels you don't want just to get the one you do. So when there's a channel you like... then it's taken away. Not very pleased, mmm maybe it's time they customized packages so one can pick what they want and not what's offered or feel they have to upgrade and pay more (especially to the existing customers). Just a thought...

DISH has great technology that is well ahead of any of its competitors. I've used their customer support on a few occasions and the results have been good thus far.

The interface is ugly and slow. I would click the button to bring up the channel guide and it wouldn't show up until 5+ seconds later, same with manually entering channel numbers. The price is not a good value, the channels are limited. The dish can't handle the slightest bit of rain or wind. They have an app, but you have to buy an additional item to even use it to watch tv. And to wrap it all up, they have a ridiculous amount of Christian channels that come standard. You can't have them removed.

I pay too much for the amount of channels I watch, and I have to choose a higher price package to get the channels I watch, most of the channels I have are channels that don't interest me at all. It also seems like there is more advertisements minutes than show minutes, and I'm paying for this time.

Good selection of channels, customer service is probably better than average. Channels go out during thunderstorms, as is the case with most satellite companies. Value is horrible. $130 to get the channels we want because we usually can't choose ala carte channels. Some of the ones we want only come in specialty packages. It would be so much better if we could have a base package that included locals and then add in only the channels we want.

I like Dish Network service but it still goes out in a heavy rain, thunderstorm or heavy snow. I don't like that at all. I hope their service improves.

The Dish has the best price. It offers free previews of major networks monthly. Inclement weather will knock out satellite service sometimes. Overall, I'm satisfied with my subscription.

Very helpful in all areas. Had to downgrade recently due to change in finances and option of Flex Pack was tremendous help. Would not use any other provider.

There is a wait time to get help, but the support people are courteous and helpful, since I am a senior I don't always understand what I need to do to assist on my end. The support people are always kind and repeat instructions and describe if needed what is needed in a way I can understand.

Hated the dish because if just a little snow got on dish, no picture. If there is a small rainstorm, no picture. Or any other weather very spotty picture. I will not have a Dish if you paid me!

My bill has gone from the original payment of $70.61, to $116. I am not signed up for Showtime, etc. The programs are mostly of poor quality, and repeated year after year. Whenever we have rain, the site goes off the air. Most programs of any true interest, are shown at 9:00-10:00 p.m. Makes it hard for older people to stay up and watch them.

Affected by weather too much. When show is selected to record, sometimes it doesn't record the whole show. Cuts off the last few minutes of the show/program.

Reception is no good in stormy weather and they really mess up CBS channels all the time with lousy reception or blocking it. Also have too many informative channels and repeats, cost too much to just pick the channels you want without all other junk.

My mom called to cancel her Dish service due to her being moved to a skilled nursing facility. They wanted proof from the facility or a dr that she had been moved there otherwise they were going to charge her 400 early termination fee. It’s against the law a HIPAA law to ask any of the information they were asking her. Her other option was to suspend her service and pay 5.00 a month to have service reconnected when she moved back home, why would they think she could afford to pay for service she couldn’t watch on top of her skilled nursing facility! These people are crazy. Stay away from Dish!! They are robbing people!!!

Had internet with them and too expensive and sucked. Never enough internet and always paid way too much for TV. Just not worth the money. Went to spectrum and got unlimited internet and don't lose TV in rain. Also pay a quarter of the bill in comparison.

I have had Dish for about 5 years. We have never had a problem with our service. We have a Tail Gator that we use to watch TV when we are camping. Any time I have had to call technician they are prompt to answer and have been able to resolve my question.

DISH was not very customer oriented or customer friendly. The roof-placed receptor unit created a leak in my roof. And the cost increased on a constant basis.

I had DISH tv for a few years and the only reason I had to switch was that they didn't provide internet service in my area (New England). They were reliable and their customer service was great. I loved them and hated to switch.

Picture is generally good, sometimes it drops out depending on weather. I do notice a lag when resuming a recorded program between picture start and sound, just enough to screw up the answers on Jeopardy. May switch to Spectrum in the near future.

My equipment stopped working and Dish Network tricked me into a two year contract to get new equipment and more elevated charges. Stay away from this company.

Dish has good customer service. However I am not happy about paying for local channels and the number of fill-in channels that are not viewed, all TV should be pick and choose.

They are a rip off and unless you call every 3 to 6 months and change your package, they gouge you. Who wants to have another thing to remember. Two times I had $160 bill. When I called and threatened to turn it off my bill dropped down to $85. Go figure, wonder how much they make from people who have automatic bill pay and don't notice it. I pulled the plug.

Dish Network is overpriced. If you owe a bill, they may carry you for a short while but then shut one off. They could be more yielding and helpful to the consumer as they also report to collections when not warranted.

Their cost is too high, and constantly going up! Every time I get my bill there’s a new five dollar charge on it! This is ridiculous to be paying $127.00 a month just to watch tv that the same thing is on that you’ve seen 50 times over!

I don't like the fact that I need to call in an order to rent a movie. I wish I had the capability since I don't have internet to be able to just scroll inside the movie. That is my frustration.

I have had nothing but problems with the DVR. Amazingly, they don't have a manual for the DVR so I can learn to use it properly. No one seems to be able to help me with this problem.

I am presently on a contract with Dish. Two years. Can’t wait for Jan. Will go back to cable. I found this is very disrespectful in dealing with customer service. A lot of dead time and that seems like when you do talk to customer service and get more of a runaround.

I have had Dish for about 12 years and feel their channel lineup is very good and the service to be very reliable. They use to be a great value, however they seem to be a little pricey as of late so I am considering other options.

For just basic TV it doesn't have very many stations. But if rains or lighting, TV goes out. And it doesn't come right back on. Would like more stations with having to order stations you don't want.

Cost is terrible, considering termination, no decent programs except the church programs. The new programs are all sex ridden and full of violence and bloodthirsty. Most new programs don't make good sense.

We don't get all the channels but we are charged for them. We live in a rural community not on the road system and we have to pay the maintenance people's airfare which is $168 round trip from here to Homer and back. We never get the offers of upgrading our systems either unless we accidentally hear about the offers. We pay $147 a month for 3 receivers and 100 channels.

I like Dish, but I do not like paying for sports channels I don't watch, basically subsidizing those that watch sports. I want to pick and choose channels and pay only for those.

We have had service with Dish for about 7 years. In the beginning we went with DirecTV and then Dish Network was awarded the contract for local channels and because of this decided to go with Dish Network. We were never satisfied with DirecTV but really had no choices regarding Cable & TV companies. We had no other company to compare the Customer Service Department to. After closing Dish we saw what a GREAT Company was all about and what better prices their company had and love Dish Network and would never ever change to anyone else but DISH. THEY have a very good Customer Service Department and are the friendliest company to deal with. Their motto the Customer Is Always Right and highly recommend by our family. Thank You!!!

I’ve had no problems with Dish. They worked out a small package for me. I love them because they have public interest channels that no one else has, which is why I stay with them. It’s worth it for that.

I am amazed at the customer service Dish Network has given to me. When I call to make changes in my programming, they always tell me about the specials they are offering at that time. I always take advantage of the $5.00 per monthly charge for HBO or Showtime.

Once-in-awhile with system, but when calling service department there is I Tech Rep right there to answer questions and help in getting system back online.

Use to have Dish Network. They were a good fit for us. No little Children in the house and we pretty much just watched the Encore Channels for Movies, etc. Pretty soon the price was going up and up and up. We were retired and could not afford to pay the high prices. Seems like DirecTV came up with a better pricing so we switched. Not sorry. Programming a little different, but not a game changer.

Since switching satellite providers, I’ve never been more satisfied. Love their user interface, sports selection and ability to record 16 programs simultaneously. We have service same as before at a 45% savings. And, no need to call for support.

Dish keeps increasing the rates-new subscribers receive a great package, but they will not offer these perks to long faithful subscribers. Movie channels just have junk. Will say bye when my contract ends.

I have had a long term "provider-customer" relationship with Dish. Living in rural areas, (dead cell area), means you are very attentive to what does work and what does not. Dish has done a very good job in service provided.

Their reliability is great, software is sensible & easy to use, the Hopper is awesome, and the Joeys work brilliantly and affordable - best TV I've had (and I'm old).

I dropped their service after about ten years. Customer service is lacking and quality of programming is terrible. Went back to antenna and have better TV than with DISH. There is no long term customer loyalty.

Supposed to be HD TV but seldom is. Most of the signal that we receive is standard definition and is not the best to view with a high definition TV. If you pay and are being charged for HD TV then you should receive it all of the time or at least most of the time. But we are paying for something and not receiving it. It feels like we are being cheated.

When weather is not good system goes out. Resets at odd times, takes a long time to reset. Satellite is our only option at this time. Plus the internet service with them lacks too.

Their Dish Anywhere is not very good. Also, have had several times when I suffered signal loss due to storms, which is common with satellite systems. Also, Dish charges extra for local programming, which other providers do not. I have thought for past 10 years of switching to a different provider, but in my area the choices are limited and the others aren't any better.

They are way too expensive. I cannot speak so it very hard to communicate with them, in 2 months I am dropping them.They keep trying to sell you stuff when all you have is a problem. I have them 5 years and I sick of them.

I started off with Dish on the wrong foot and should've taken that as a sign to go in the opposite direction by going elsewhere for my TV service. It took them 6 months and 6 visits to get my 4K Ultra HD service finally working, all at the cost of having them come out and the cost of paying for additional HDMI cables that I was told would be required in order for me to get premium HD quality programming. Sense the scams already?

I had Comcast cable and switched to Dish Network. They made it easy and saved me over 100 dollars. We had a storm and everyone lost cable but my satellite dish was up and running first. The snow slid off the dish while I was shoveling the walk and I was watching TV when I got back inside.

I enjoy the service, not thrilled about the cost, wish it was more reasonable. Love prime time and Fox Sports Midwest. Almost switched to Directv recently but decided to stick it out with Dish.

Dish overall is has a good service. This is the first time I have used a satellite company. At times the signal does have issue and they do drill holes in your roof to attach the dish which I don't like.

The only problem I've ever had with Dish is when I moved it took two weeks for a technician to come out and when he did show up he said that the satellite could not be installed because the apartment in front of mine was blocking the signal, without even trying or considering other options. I was furious. Called customer support and they made it right immediately.

weekend viewing of premium channels such as HBO, Showtime, National Geographic, Animal Planet, etc. Their remote control offers the same benefits as Comcast and Verizon at a better rate. As a senior citizen on a fixed income, I found a home in which I don't feel price gouged as I did at Comcast and Verizon who are also trying to abscond with our Net Neutrality.

I have had DISH for years, but lately it goes off a lot. Perhaps the system is getting old, but it can be very annoying. It loses signal about two to three times a week.

I like DISH. I had DISH for 5 years and I love the shows are real good. DISH is very well, they could lower the price and not have to buy a Spanish tv need more shows.

Dish Net is the only service in my area that provides access to a range of French and European news and programming. Comcast is more expensive and provides a more narrow range of programming, but otherwise quite reliable.

Anytime it rains we lose channels. Their lower cost package has more useless programming so that you will purchase a higher monthly priced program. Good weather & easily entertained and you’ll love the basic program package.

For what we are being charged each month, we should be able to get rid of the channels we don’t use or need. And the price should be adjusted. I don’t think it’s fair if you're a loyal customer you should pay more than someone who just signs up.

I currently am no longer a customer. No part of my own. But due to the Ex wife. But when I was a customer I have no complaints and when I did they were fixed right away. But when I get back on my feet. I will be looking forward to being a customer again. Thanks for your service.

They charge 108.00 for channels they don't let you get rid of. Flex pack is THEIR choice of channels; not ours; and a new 2 year contract. Thank goodness we don't have pay movie channels!

DISH customer service is virtually non-existent. I have tried to return equipment to DISH for 4 months now. In order to return equipment, you are required to use boxes and shipping labels provided by DISH. I called every month for 4 months and was told it takes 18 to 20 business days to send the box to me. When I finally got the box, I packed the equipment and took it to a UPS dropoff location the next day. It has been over 5 days and DISH can't determine whether UPS delivered the box to its facility in El Paso, TX. So DISH is going to bill me $200 for non-return of equipment when the delay in returning the equipment was totally DISH's fault.

Dish customer service is lacking. Communication between service and customer service needs to improve. The company lacks on follow through also. I was told on 4 different occasions to expect a call from the service technician. Never received call.

Overall we love Dish Network. We just dislike the times in bad weather that the signal is lost and we have lost at times a whole day. Sometimes some channels come through and others do not. The local channel CBS is the worse in that regard.

Their customer service is exceptional because I used to have DirecTV and I would never get a live person for at least 15 or 20 minutes. And every time I call Dish Network I get a live person in just a matter of one or two minutes.

I have been with DISH Network for 20 years and have been treated very good, if I need help with something they have taken care of it right away. I have been with cable companies and they raise their prices all the time. I was with Directv and they are so bad I told them if they were the only choice I had to get my programing I would put up an anntena.

Several months ago we cut back our service to lower our monthly cost. They did the cut but then the bill went up the following month and then again up the next month as well. It took almost thirty minutes for the online chat person to figure out that - oh yeah, I guess that is wrong. Dish customer service used to be great, that is one of the reasons we have stayed with them for almost 10 years.

I messed up my tv programming with my remote, I am not very technical astute so had a problem with trying to get back on track. The lady that assisted me at Dish was very helpful and took a lot of time to tell me what I needed to do to correct the problem and answered all of my questions.

When Dish forced us to pay for local channels which we don't want or need, this is not good customer support or value. We are paying a lot of money for programming which is of no value to us. It's just too expensive!

I don't like hidden fees and contracts. I HATE speaking to people whose English is so bad you don't even know what they are saying! I need to speak with an American.

The Netflix app is a bust, I have to disconnect the Joey every day to start Netflix and after watching 2-3 shows everything freezes. They are "working on the problem". Doesn' t help me any!

They lied, were rude and used crass language. Promises were not kept. We canceled and they told us to get up on the roof and take down their equipment. Told them to come take it down. They sent us a box and we mailed the cable box back. The dish is still on the roof.

I enjoy the advances that DISH has made to their infrastructure. However there seems to be a fee for everything. Otherwise dish has a very good customer service department and they listen to the customer. Which is why I don't want to leave them.

I had DirecTV before and wasn't happy with it, switched to Dish about 7 years ago and happy ever since. They have raised the price several times but I think everyone else has to, still a good company.

Dish is a lot better than Directv. They have a lot better selection of channels. They are so much better to do business with and they have a very helpful staff in customer service.

Overall had no major problems with DISH. As with all cable and Satellite providers the service is overpriced. They offer passable customer service, but be careful when you decide to leave they will hook you with an easy re-subscription fee and bill you for it 90 days later.

Increasing costs are going to make me switch or dump satellite altogether. As technology advances now products and services will be available.

They put you in contract and you are tied. The price is too high for the service and give too little not enough channel. Also, when it rains no service.

The worst possible service available. The slightest wind, a drop of wind, a bird or butterfly passing over the dish would cause a service outage. Reps were rude. Their website was also not user friendly.

Bad program selection, close caption is terrible, words appear on the screen and at times it does not disappear for at least a minute even after the scene changes. Also, at times the program I am watching will start pixelating and when I call all they tell me is to reset my receiver box. If I could get out of my contract I would but to cancel my contract would cost $480 which I cannot afford. Last thing any time you do anything (change program set up the contract renews for 24 months) so user be aware.

The service and quality are outstanding. I referred several friends and would recommend this company to anyone. They are very reasonable and I will be happy to recommend them.

Inconsistent technical support; one technician very good, another very unreliable. Customer service seemed more like sales pressure. Satellite reception unreliable, affected by storms.

We had DirecTV for 2 1/2 years. Service was horrible. We finally got to switch to Dish. We had Dish before but when we moved was unable to have them as provider. So as soon as could we switched. I can't say how great service has been. I love Dish TV. Great channels, service, and great customer service. I would gladly recommend them over all others.

We did not like the Dish Network user interface. Channel selection was ok but the cost after the initial switch time period to them from DirecTV skyrocketed. We went back to DirecTV.

I have been a Dish Network customer since 1996. The cost has gone from a meager $40 a month to a whopping $160 for pretty much the same service. My feeling is they are more concerned with getting new customers and not considering the loyalty of current customers.

After your 2 year contract they really jump up their rates. You can count on them to raise the prices by 60%. They show promotions for new customers only.

Dish Network has too little variety and WAY too many pay-per-view (shown under a variety of names) and shopping and music (listening only) channels! There are constant reruns, duplicate channels, and an unbelievable amount of advertisement channels. Where are the shows? What are we paying for?

I had DISH Network for about 10 years. I recently switched to another cable company and it has been a complete disaster. With Dish network I was a 100% satisfied with the service and the customer service. I highly recommend it.

Dish has been awesome to me. The bill is always the same every month not like Direct where it was always higher every month. I've had great service with my dish.

The service, reliability and selection of channels is good. But I do not really watch most of the channels I am offered and I wish it was more affordable. I am bound by a contract until May of this year and will check into their flex pack then which is way more affordable than what I am paying now. The package I have now is very expensive for what I get. I pay over ninety dollars a month. This does not even include any premium channels.

I have had good experiences with Dish. I love how my dish does not go out unless it's really stormy. I have never had problems with it going out when it's cloudy or just a slow rain. The Customer Service also has been very good. The only problem I have is the bill keeps going up.

They could have at least a better selection of channels without paying extra for premium channels. And another thing that sucks is that we basically lose service everytime the wind blows.

Way better than DirecTV. At least can talk to live persons who I can understand. Most of the time customer service good. Never going back to DirecTV. Still wish it was cheaper.

Good value but DirecTV worked a little simpler for me. I do not like the Dish remotes for secondary locations. Buttons are in a terrible layout.

Price is awful for senior citizens. Need to give senior citizens on a fixed income some kind of break. Also when we have snow or rainstorm we have to go outside and clean the satellite off.

I had Dish for 15 years. I recently canceled because of constantly increasing prices. It took me an hour to cancel because they had to tell me how stupid I was and that I would come crawling back. Then, I would be paying more. On and on. They told me how much I would miss them because of all the prime time series. Well, the series have all been ruined with PC B.S. They're infiltrating Netflix but, I have around 350,000 choices for the price I paid for one month of DISH, for the whole year. They also screwed me out of money when I returned their garbage.

Dish Network has been great to work with, even when we got rid of the super slow internet with Frontier. However I would like to see a cafeteria style selection of programming, there are just some channels I don't use, but need because they come in the bundle.

DISH Network's offerings of cable boxes are not supportive of general use and monthly charges are skyrocketing. No value for the dollar.
