DISH Network Reviews

Dish offers internet and dish TV services to rural areas. Their marketing materials talk about wonderful customer service which is simply untrue and far from accurate. They charged us for over 11 pay-for movies which we never ordered and amounted to over $100. They flatly refused to do more than to suggest preventative actions and expected us to pay for movies we never ordered or watched. Appalling business practices.

I'm a current Dish customer. Wanted to have Dish upgrade my old remotes to their new voice activated and back-lit remotes. They wanted me to buy them! Are they kidding? We also have Comcast at another home. They on the other hand will upgrade customer equipment for free.

I called DISH about TV services and programs. I talked to Nattaly. My main question was how good is reception. She said, "Great." Then we would not lose reception unless we were in a thunderstorm that was bad. So I ordered a package. The next day was installation. The installer called at 1 pm to be here at 2 pm. At 4 pm he came in saying he was late because he was at the first place from 9 am to 4 pm trying to get their system to work. That he had to run new wiring twice to get a signal strength that will let their TV work. I showed him the direct DISH on a post. He said needs to be on the house. I said, "That is fine but not on the roof." He never put one on a roof.

I made 2 payments prior to due date leaving the balance of my bill due to come out of my account on the auto pay date. Their system took out more than the amount causing my account to overdraft. I called to get help and they told me it was my fault for making early payments that I confused the system and there was nothing they could do. I told them they took more money out of my account than my bill and they continued to repeat themselves. The representative was more pleasant than the manager. The manager just kept talking over top of me and repeating himself over and over not saying anything or doing anything to fix the situation.

I was sold a plan that contained MSNBC News. This is not news! It is Anti-American/Anti-Trump propaganda B.S. DISH Network should be ashamed of themselves for selling this crap! All I want to do is watch real news. I spoke to a manager and he would not help me out. My two year contract is almost up and I will not be renewing.

When we moved into our home Dish Network was the only internet available to us so we were stuck. The first week of service was fine and it very rapidly went from bad to worse. They limit your internet data and once it is done they reduce your speed to dial up speeds. At one point it took us over 7 minutes to open an email with text only, no images. A 2 gb update to my computer was clocked to take place over 6 days and 16 hours (screen shot attached). I turned on the hotspot on my phone and completed it in 2.3 minutes. It is hands down the worst service and worst customer service I have ever experienced.

Aug 2017 while changing my cable service to DISH, they sold me on using HUGHESNET internet provider. Dish assured the provider's service was stable/reliable! I have had nothing but poor service (worst ever). Can't drop HUGHESNET without breaking two year contract so I am stuck with very poor internet for two years! But when I get rid of the internet service I will also rid myself of the DISH service as well. I strongly believe that you are known by the product(s) you sell and push, so I place blame on DISH for the misrepresentation of HUGHESNET service. You both have to go!!!

With all DISH upgrades they are causing more issues than fixing them! My old box is not compatible now with the new upgrades in which the poor customer service I received wants a cc on file along with a new 2 yr contract. I’m in auto pay and haven’t had a contract for yrs. This will not be waived. My services worked just fine prior but now I’m going to be penalized. Way to lose a customer after 20 yrs DISH... Not very smart!

Took over 20 min and 2 phone calls to cancel Dish. I was paid up to the 15th and canceled on the 13th. They credit me two days and turned around and charge me $20 for early cancellation. I had to suspend my account for 3 months for relocation and was never told it would extend my contract. My advice is to stay away from this company. I was hoping I would have the option to go back to them. Not anymore. I will never do business with them again. I would think that they would be willing to work with you since they are losing customers.

DISH will not allow one time online payments to be scheduled. This means either paying in advance of the due date or risking missing the actual due date and incurring a late payment penalty. I believe DISH is the only vendor I use who does not allow scheduling payment on the date payment is due. I asked if I could call in and schedule payment on the due date and was told it is not allowed.

I contacted Dish Network to cancel my service, because they had steadily been increasing our monthly cost over the last 3 years and we were paying too much for the few channels that we watched. The agent who I talked with offered to give us a special deal, because we had been customers for over 4 years, which would only cost $13.00 per month after the $20.00 discount he was offering. I asked to get a list of the channels, because I didn't see the package on their website, but instead he named off a few channels and said "and a bunch more channels. It includes a lot of channels. It is a package that we don't even offer anymore" (This isn't word for word, but is as close as I can remember). After asking to get a list of the channels again, he said that he could send them to me after I signed up. This is where I should have said 'no' and canceled the service, unfortunately, I was suckered by the offer of a good deal and accepted.

This company is terrible. They tell you one thing and charge another, I requested to cancel my service, they charged me 12.00 for the box to return it. Then I went to the UPS store and returned everything and they charged me 298.00 saying they never received my box. The UPS store said they do this quite often and yet they have no way to track it.

I was a Dish customer for 13 years. Discontinued my service when I moved in Nov. I've now been battling them for over 6 weeks. They tried to charge me $200+ for an installation (weeks to get that resolved). They then tried to charge me for equipment. (I had to call them 3 times for their shipping box. Was told each time they were sending it. ONE FINALLY showed after almost 3 weeks. Equipment sent, they denied receiving & tried to charge me another $200+. Until I gave them the tracking #). They charged me for Dec. when I moved in Nov. I called them MANY times to straighten out these problems. Each time being put on hold & finally getting a rude representative who seemed to care less and would say I had equipment & installation fees (too lazy to read my customer notes to see that these things had been resolved). I finally filed a complaint w/ the FCC.

We had Frontier Communications in which we had internet, and Dish provided with them. We sold our home, and tried to have get service moved to up north. They did not Frontier did not provide service at the time, but they said Dish might so we called them. They never came out to check to see if Dish would set up to see if we could get service. They never showed up, I called them told them we do not Service. We got billed for service we never received. I wrote back on the bill never had service. Emailed them again. They asked for personal information. I told them if we had service with you it would be on file. They sent a disconnect service because of non payment. How can you disconnect something that never been connected. Finally got a box so I could return the equipment I got from Frontier. In November of 2017. How can I get this resolved?

I signed up for DISH in October with the promise of $150 gift card to be mailed 6 - 8 weeks later. I still have no gift card and no mailing date has been provided by DISH. This is FRAUD. They made a promise and willingly did not keep it. DO NOT SIGN UP FOR DISH- THEY LIE.

No flex in Flex Pack. Still get the same channels I don't want and have to pay extra for the ones I do want... And the equipment sucks!! Constant lying or better yet cannot speak or understand ENGLISH! THIS COMPANY SUCKS!

Inquiring for new service - I am appalled at the lack of customer service with this company. They want to ask you all sorts of questions and won't continue with your initial inquiry until you answer their questions. As a consumer, I don't need to give out my personal information to find out how fast their internet speed is. Be careful with Dish... If they are this demanding before you're even a customer, beware!

I called in to make a payment. They accepted my payment, informed me that I would not be on auto draft, 2 days later they drafted out the payment again. I called to inform them that they drafted out the payment anyway, they then said they were sorry and they would refund my money within 3 to 5 business days. After 48 hrs I called to check on it and the girl said they educated me on the fact that it wasn't guaranteed and she was not going to honor that. So I do feel as this was fraud and wrong of them. Thanks.

DISH is tied with DirecTV. Has the worse providers in the world. DISH lied about a start up fee but asked for my account info from bank. Said I was getting the top package for 117 a month for 2 years then my bill went up to 175. Took 49 95 out of my account when they said that they wasn't. Never got my voice activated remote. Promised a callback from supervisor. Never did but they called me because bill hadn't been paid. You couldn't give me DISH free and I still wouldn't take it. Very disappointed, what kills me when you are on hold the commercial says, "Are you tired of your cable bill going up? Get DISH. It stays the same." Lies lies lies.

Have been having trouble with one of our receivers and get no satisfaction from tech support, their excuse is that they'll send a tech out to service THEIR equipment at our charge... It's only 6 months old and they want us to pay a service call. It's not the weather or obstruction or us changing anything. It's their box. And they don't want to even consider it. These contracts suck. Otherwise I would cancel and go somewhere else, which will happen if they do charge me. Basically only the two games in town Dish and DirecTV, wish we had high enough speed internet and I'd get rid of them!

The first time when on Dish they took out more than what they said on my account. Now our dish bill is due on 12/31/2017 but my husband doesn't get paid till Wednesday. They claim which I don't buy it. They can't delay auto pay or stop it. Claim they're not a scam. However a legit company would work with you and help you. They refused to do either.

They told me I would get a $100 gift card after signing up. I call to find out why and they said the promotion expired, I had to fill out forms to get the card, I called them 6 times and got nowhere. Their installation person left wires hanging out of my drop ceiling and their signal goes out all the time. DON'T USE THEM. They sound amazing but are the worst company ever. I have been lied to before but these guys have it down, Their answer is it was a 3rd party sale. Stay away!!!

When I called their phone number to inquire about TV channel offers, I had to answer TONS of QUESTIONS about myself before they would EVEN tell me about the offers! IT WAS VERY ANNOYING!!! So, after getting thru all that, the person was VERY PERSISTENT in signing me up and getting my credit card # to get a tech out and said I could cancel anytime! I canceled the tech from arriving at my home on time after they tried to come a couple of times (after I called and SAID NO!!!) Then on my credit card statement shows they charged $49.99!!! So, when I called, she could ONLY credit me back $39.99!!! There is a processing fee!!!! BEWARE!!! Don't let them have your credit card number, UNLESS you are DEFINITELY planning on receiving their services!!!

They work with third party group called Infinity Sales who then works through another third party group called Elite Fulfillment group. This is a chain of companies who pass you off to the other when you complain and make it time consuming to receive your rebates that will expire. I was promised 150.00 in rebates. After jumping through a number of hoops I should receive 100 in 8 to 10 weeks!! The 50.00 one I have to submit an investigation as to why I didn't receive it which will take 7 to 14 days then I can submit for the rebate that will have expired by then. These companies are deceitful and are sleazy in their sales tactics. STAY AWAY FROM DISH!!!

I subscribed to Dish in June of 2016. I signed up for a 2 year contract. In February of 2017 I called and they sent me 2 Joey receivers because I added 2 TVs to house. I was charged $20.00 because I made a change to original contract. I now call to find out when my contracts end and I have been advised that because I made changes to the contract I added on to the time period. They are saying my contract restarted again in February 2017. The debit card that they offer for you to join $200.00. I never received it. They said I should have gotten it in the mail. The only thing that is true about Dish is that the monthly bill remains the same. But they screw you in many other little ways.

I had Dish for 6 years, bought a new house and had them install it here. First guy damaged window and left with the wires laying on the floor in the middle of the rooms. He also left a whole box of wire. Called Dish and they sent a new technician out. He ran a drill bit down across my drywall damaging it. I let it go. Is month they added a 15.00 fee on my bill for something they added to services. I called and had it removed. Next month the charge was still on there. I decided I had enough and after a long runaround I cancelled my service. Still being left to fix the damages on my home on my own and out of my pocket.

I contacted Dish TV through a chat line provided on the website under my account. The young person who responded said he could not help me as the internet service was in another department and gave me a number to call. I called the number and the young man who answered said that the internet issue was handled in another section who he contacted while I waited on the phone. He came back and told me that the other department showed I didn't have internet, only phone service. I assured him I had internet and it was working just 24 hours earlier when it suddenly stopped.

Customer service is being provided from a different country where the service levels and ability to communicate is very limited. At one point during a recent call the individual became extremely offensive to the use of my surname by labeling me as Mr. **. When corrected, the individual continues the wrong usage which left me no other alternative, but to request to speak to the supervisor. When being placed on hold the connection terminated, no return call was received from the representative to ensure customer satisfaction. The company instead of saving a few dollars on the use of overseas workers whom do not speak the English language should instead invest in the country the customers live in and the communities where the company is conducting business. It only makes smart business sense to have English speaking customer service representatives speak with English speaking customers.

DISH NETWORK… Does the punishment fit the crime? You be the judge… Background… I am going through the toughest time of my life. My business stopped making money and I maxed out my credit cards trying to buy inventory to keep my business going. I have authorized a company to settle my debts and needless to say, I’m having a terrible time making the payments. To try and save money I have been trying to find ways of saving money by cutting things out that aren’t necessary and/or finding alternate, less expensive ways to keep a few items to make life bearable. Satellite TV is one of those areas.

Well they don't have their stuff together. Was supposed to come Friday after 3. Someone showed up at 2. I don't get off till 230. Then was supposed to come Sunday after calling 5 times and being told someone was coming at 530 was told that who I spoke w didn't make my app... then today they came and put it in black screen in bedroom. Guy said would take 5 min and come back on as he was leaving. 2 hours later nothing and now have to wait some more. Wasted 2 days and no TV. Very mad. Get your ** together Dish.

I was a DISH Network customer for 7 years, I canceled my service 3 years ago and changed over to DirecTV. In October of 2017 while I was online making my bill payments, I accidentally made a payment of 165.00 to my old account at DISH Network and not DirecTV. I did not realize I had made this mistake for 3 more weeks. The payment was submitted and sent to DISH Network and accepted.

We got Dish and have been dissatisfied since day one. There are hundreds of programs and only a handful to watch. Had a technical problem and it took a week to resolve. No TV for a week! Now we were informed of a price increase. We are held hostage by a VERY long 2 yr contract. Have to accept it or face big buck charges to get out. If company was honest and stood behind their product, they would give customers 30 days to reconsider if not satisfied. Moral of story... don't do Dish.

The service I have had from their "CUSTOMER SERVICE" is the worst I have ever had from a company before, "VERY DISHONEST" and not helpful at all. Have had many times try to work with them but no one cares about anything except how much "MORE" money they can get from you. Had to stop my automatic bank payment as they keep taking it out sooner and sooner, each month (contacted them several time with no luck) bill keeps growing even on their guarantee fixed price lock (what a joke that is), half the time you can't connect to the internet, and they sent me "TWO" emails one saying I used 40% of my allotted time and then in 57 minutes sent another one saying I use 60%, all without the computer being on, "BUT" customer service said didn't know why but that's that. "WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THEIR SERVICE TO ANYONE."

My parents are seniors that live in an area where service is NOT at "99%, anywhere" (as they say). They have been taken advantage of for months. They pay over $150 a month for a service that doesn't even work. They keep being told they have to pay MORE to get better service. I JUST PAID THEIR BILL for the last 2 months because they can't afford it! Just finding their phone number online took me 20 mins, because the signal is so poor. Setting up this account to write a review took me another 20 mins.! My brother and I have called so many times to try and find something that would be a more fair deal for them. All they tell us is that they need to pay for a "better" router... Better than the one that they installed. But they can't install it for us. WE have to call the manufacturer of the router, and buy it through them. ANOTHER EXPENSE!

So here was my first time buying internet, the rep told me that 10G/month would be PLENTY considering my needs of working at home and streaming movies. Clearly a huge lie. I had burned through my data after about 5 days, but I kept trying to stretch it in the following months by using my phone hotspot. Finally, I called in March to cancel and they said they couldn't do it without a $200 cancellation fee (which clearly I can't afford), and sold me a plan for $20 more a month with 50g. Still crappy, but it met my needs.

On December 4, 2017 DISH Network took an unauthorized payment from my account. The representative stated "it looks like a payment was just processed from your account." When I asked her repeatedly who took the payment when and how much was taken she kept responding as if she didn't know how the payment was processed and tried to say it may have just been "a slip of the mouse".

Buyer beware. DISH is not living up to the promo they are offering for the holiday. They will cancel out order the day before and when you call back in the promo is over and will not honor it. I talked to 3 managers and none would honor it. They told me they have to run credit again and told me I had to pay for the Hopper 3 in which my promo was included for free. They are scamming people during the holidays. Do not fall for their holiday promo.

We Signed up a DISH Network almost a year ago. Everything was great good service until we had a charge on our account that we did not place. I call DISH Network to dispute the charge. Representative implied that PPV view events cannot be refunded because lots of customers take advantage By ordering pay per view and disputing the charges. They pretty much implied that I was a crook Even though that we paid every month for bill on time. Never ever had an issue with them before. When I told them happy for letters and you at the end and cancel my service they transferred me to a completely Different department. I knew representative by the name Irene Looked over my account and apologized for the previous representative's behavior and the supervisor's behavior told me that there will be a review and She will be more than happy to refund charges that we did not make. I honestly don't think I'll be continuing my service.

I've had Dish services for about 3 years. The connection would get interrupted with the slightest wind and rain. However I never really watched TV so I decided to cancel services. They charged me because I had went a week into my next billing cycle. This was Oct. 30. Then they said they would send a box for me to send my cable box & remote in but NEVER RECEIVED IT. I believe they never sent it so Friday Nov. 25 I call to say I didn't get it so they say since it's still in my 30 day limit to return it they will not charge me and start my 30 days over and send another box. Then I receive it Thursday November 30.

I specifically asked about the channel cancellation of network channels used by Dish and was told they don't cancel network channels. I agreed to their adhesion contract. Service was spotty, constant breaking up into pixels, not recording on-time, ordinary programs in the last minutes. Calls to correct were only temporarily successful and then within 6 months they cancelled CBS and attempted to use consumers as leverage in their negotiations with CBS (over Thanksgiving to cause as much distress as possible). So when I called to cancel service for their breach of contract they charged me $540. I would never do business with Dish again and think you should be aware of how they take advantage of consumers to the consumer's detriment.

Company charged my account after assuring me they wouldn't tried charging my account again. 6 days after I cancelled scheduled installation. Poor customer service, refund takes up to 17 days but they can send you $100 gift card in less than a week. Reason for review is they have cost me to miss work and cost me money and I consider them to be thieves lacking honesty and integrity.

I have Dish Tv, I moved from Oregon and had it reconnected in Montana. After 2 months of arguing about my system finally a manager contacted me and gave me a new one. I purchase a Polk sound with the new installation through Dish. Paid Dish for the system. The Polk system now doesn't work (Remote) and Dish states I have to call another company. I have several time tries to call them, Try to go through 9 prompts and then they say, "Sorry. Closed." I paid Dish for the system and David a Dish rep said, "Nothing I can do. Call Polk." Sorry I paid Dish for the system!! You call. I paid you not POLK.

I canceled my DISH account after being a customer for several years, and closely followed their instructions for returning all equipment. Then I got a bill for nearly $250 for "unreturned equipment". I spent nearly an hour on the phone with one rep who said "you'll have to wait at least another 1-2 hours before I can get you an answer", so I hung up. Then called again and got another rep, told her what happened with the first call, and she immediately said "Oh, sorry, it looks like we did received the equipment" (I had proof via UPS tracking numbers). Then about 3 weeks later I get a bill that was the same amount as my former monthly subscription. Called to complain and the rep said, "Oh it's because you haven't returned your equipment." This is either a) horrible, incompetent customer service or b) fraud. Stay away from DISH.

I had a technician come out and install services for me today and once he was finished setting thing up I noticed that picture on my TV was fuzzy so I ask him why and he said that my TV??? are HD... And I said I know that what I ordered. Dish assured me it would be HD in all rooms and the technician explained that he installed old cable boxes that only supports 780 megapixels??? So I asked him to just cancel service and I'll go with another provider that provides better quality TV??? He told me it was too late and that I cannot cancel. I'm locked into the contract? Mind you I haven't even signed the contract and this was just installed... Dish told me I can pay an additional 150.00 on top of the 200.00 I had already given them to get a upgrade on the cable boxes... This was such a disappointment. I would never go with Dish Tv. Buyers beware.

I called the people at DISH TV looking to get a new service provider. I spoke at length with one of their representatives about the cost of the services I wanted. I was quoted $69.99. I repeatedly asked them about any additional fees. I was told there were no additional but would be $69.99 + tax for the first three months. Again I repeatedly asked if there were any additional fees and I was told no there are not.

Dish Website promised a full year of HBO free, along with other offers. I confirmed this with their customer service rep, then signed up. Found the year was only 3 months and the offer had "expired" in October (I activated October 6). They said they would contact corporate to see if my HBO could be extended, but I hold little hope of this. Just another of many reported rip-offs.

I call DISH Network about 2 weeks ago about my bill after paying it because they disconnected my services. I showed them proof of receipt of payment where it was paid November 11th 2017 my services was turned back on. Then as of last night 11/27/2017 my services was turned off again. When I call them last night they told me that they did not get my October bill. I told them that I did pay my bill and that I just went through this a couple of days after I paid it. They went on to say that they did not receive my payment where it was paid. Then said that they took the money from my account then a couple days later my bank took the money back from them and charge them for it. My bank said they do not do that and that it was on DISH Network.

So my wife and I were in the process of moving from New Mexico to Nebraska, but hit a snag in selling our home for now. So we dropped DirecTV and went to DISH when we found out we had to stay put for the time being. Took the Tech 6+ hours to get everything done and get the hopper and joey to sink. Mind you this was almost 3 months ago. Took me 8+ calls to tech to get someone out to look at the hopper, it got replaced fine. Works great now. Now I'm not stupid when it comes to what a receiver is and mind you this is an ongoing problem from day 1, the joey on at night, hopper off at night because I am a service connected disabled Vet and need the background noise to sleep. So the joey is freezing up on live TV and Netflix and they are telling me it is a software issue and they are working to fix it.

It is Thanksgiving, and I am not able to watch the Dallas Cowboys game because Dish Network has refused to realistically negotiate with CBS. While it is accurate that CBS can decide to pull programming from a provider, Dish Network is using the tactic to attempt to strong arm CBS into a poor position. I dislike that my family tradition was interrupted. I now HATE DISH NETWORK.

Initially when I started their services they overcharged me over $300 from what was originally in writing and I filed a complaint with the BBB which did resolve it after multiple phone calls and weeks of stressful communication with people who did not seem to know what they were doing. Now at termination because I moved out of their service area I was told to pay $72 and return the equipment and everything would be zeroed out because it was a bundle and the Internet service was not offered in my new residential area. After multiple phone calls after getting a bill for 461$ And trying to explain to the loyalty customer rep she would not hear that I had already been told the bill would be 0 x 2 different people and insisted that I pay $360 for cancellation fee of Dish Network which is available in the area which is the opposite of what I was told.

Dear DISH customers, what sorry service they have, I just cancelled my account and told them to take autopay off, was told that the early termination fees of 200.00 and 24.00 to return two receivers would be automatically taken off my debit card, told customer service not to debit my card at least 3 times, stated I consented, was just laid off my job and have no money coming in, but yet they debited my checking account 250.66, I received an email stating would debit on 11/24/17, but came off on 11/20/17, have gotten all sorts of runaround and different stories, filed fraud charges with bank, spoke to legal and stated they would not reverse, filing complaint with FCC and will sue!!! BUYER BEWARE.

I have been using DISH for international channels - but I am watching more advertisement than real programs, it is really frustrating after paying this much of money. I suggest not to use this and find something better - in which we can enjoy real programs.

We have been a customer of DISH Network for 9 years. We pay a monthly equipment charge with the understanding that is the equipment has any issues, they will take care of it. We have been told that a $99 service call fee, shipping charges for returned equipment, will be assessed to our account. This is after we have been dealing with their Technical Dept for over two months trying to figure out what an error message is that stops our service from working. Terrible customer service!

So my experience with DISH was OK during the time I had them. I never like dealing with these companies but hey if you want good TV what's the choices. So I am with them for the 2 year contract and at the end of the contract decided to go with cable since I already have phone and internet with Time Warner, Cable saved me 50.00 a month and no contract. These slugs now want money to return their equipment. First they hassle me once I tell them I want to terminate the service and now they charge me a fee to return their equipment. Folks don't give them your business. These people are low life scum.

I've been a Dish TV/Dish Net customer for a little over a month now and the first couple of weeks my internet worked perfectly. I've had to call numerous times over the last 2 weeks due to Dish Net connectivity issues which they told me to disconnect the power cable and reset the system. Dish has replaced my modem and I continued to have issues. After calling for the 5th time they agreed to send out a technician and the best they could do was send out a tech a week later! I then asked if this was a continued problem and there was no solution if my contract would be null and void, to which their response is I'm contracted for 24 months. I asked to speak to a manager twice on the last phone call and was ignored. DO NOT CHOOSE DISH TV. You will potentially have to pay for crappy service and even worse... SUBOPTIMAL CUSTOMER SERVICE. Hindsight is always 20/20.

After more than a decade of being a Dish customer - I had to disconnect due to moving to a new location with another provider. Not only was it an extended hassle to disconnect, but they disconnected my service a week before I requested. With everyone cutting the cord, it's so sad that loyal customers are treated so poorly.

When sales person tried to get your info and promised you all the good, at the end you declined the deals they should have no business to check credit report? Not on my case, I refused since the very beginning to go beyond few questions that I needed but sales person ignored my requested just kept trying instead. I found out later on that my credit report was inquired! My question was why? This is unacceptable practice, poor management, I will never again deal with such scams!

Another worker told me it would only be $139.00 dollars and said to call when I decided to change things.

My daughter called DISH network to sign up for their service. They told her they couldn't do it unless she had a credit or debit card. I okayed them to use my debit card, and was assured several times, that my card would not be used, just needed to be on file. My daughter missed a couple of payments on her account. It was discontinued, and bills were sent to her PO Box in my name, which were probably returned. They called her home phone number looking for me. After six or seven years of her paying the bill, with a card, they all of a sudden decided that I was responsible for the bill. I contacted the State Attorney General's office for Minnesota and filed a complaint, since they had turned me over to 2 different collection agencies. The collection agencies dropped the collection process, but not before the collection went on my credit report.

My ex husband had account with Dish and he had it turn off and I had let him use my debit card to pay his bill awhile back. Just a few days ago I go to bank to withdraw money off my card and they tell me Dish network took 248.00 off my card without my knowledge to pay a bill he owe. By all mean that theft. Stealing money from someone else is just not right. I don't even have hope account with Dish and I see why they are a ripoff. Hope everyone read this. DISH NETWORK IS A RIPOFF.

This service loses signals when it rains or snows or the tree is dew laden. When football and basketball are at their peak DISH loses signal for 30 minutes to 2 hours. Not able to watch the games or programs you want when the weather outside is bad is a big ripoff. Avoid signing Dish Network contracts because they will put your neck in a noose and only tighten it if you squawk. NOTE: IF you cancel because the signal is not reliable they still charge you 20 bucks per month for the remaining months as a separation RANSOM for them to go away!

Just so everyone knows, order you ppv movies online or with a representative if you have certificates. THEY DO NOT LET YOU KNOW THIS VERY CLEARLY. I am now paying 7$ for a movie I only ordered because I had these free certificates, well I ordered on the tv... So now I'm stuck paying for this movie. They said they will not cancel my order, will not refund me, will not do anything to fix this problem. I'm very disappointed in their poor customer service. And want everyone to know how to order these ppv certificates properly.

They lied about their products. You do not get internet, only Dish TV. They take your debit card number, bill you for something you didn't get. I put a stop on my bank. They lied. I wanted internet. I took a screenshot of the living they are delivering. Shame on you. You do not deserve to be in business.

My first three weeks of having DISH I continuously had issues with it. I spent roughly 9 hours of my personal time on the phone with their customer support and finally they sent out a rep to look at my system. He stated the boxes weren’t set up properly and reinstalled them. I had no issues for a few months and then I got a bill for $113 instead of my normal $69.99. I called to see what the issue was and DISH stated that I didn’t call to cancel HBO, STARZ, Showtime, and Cinemax after my free trial, even though when I initially signed up for DISH, I told the representative that I didn’t watch or want any of those channels in my package.

I've had the service over 4 years - signed up under a contract for 24 months at 29.99/mo for 120 channels. My bill has more than doubled since, to $77/mo, while the actual content has diminished; we've lost channels including both network and local programming... This on top of the fact that we've NEVER had anything like a real 120 channels of content - my "channels" include the DISH Preview Channel, roughly 25 HD TV duplicate channels, about 15 home shopping and infomercial channels, and dozens of channels which stream different playlists of music (ie. 80s, 90s, classic rock, classical, jazz, etc) but don't have ANY video programming. In total there are less than 24 channels that I actually watch.

My boyfriend decided to go with DISH Network after he received a phone call from them with a deal. He gave all his information and then they needed $25 Deposit. So I told him he could use my debit card. I got a text about a $250 purchase on my card while on the phone with them. I asked her about it and she said no it’s $25. I said I have an alarm on my account. She hung up and they wouldn’t answer the phone. Now my credit report shows me owing them money??? This is insane.

I signed up for DISH and was promised a free hopper we didn't get. First of all they would not even sign me up until I gave them a credit card number. I was told nothing would ever be changed to my card unless we cancel service and don't turn in the equipment. As soon as I got off the phone I checked my online account and was already charged 49.99. I was promised free installation and a free hopper. They also set up to where they was going to charge my credit card each month and I didn't even talk to the person about that when I signed up. I feel like DISH is misleading and tells people lies. Don't ever give them a credit card number. They will take your money. If anybody signed up for DISH and they tell you it's free installation that's a lie. They take the money from your card before you get off the phone. I'm going to contact the Better Business Bureau because they should not keep doing people this way.

They claim to gave the best customer service, but with 2 stars, their competitor must have only one. The incident took only 3 phone calls to resolve, so I should consider myself "serviced as the farmer has his heifers serviced". Due to my fault, and high stress level, I did not see the interruption notice until almost too late. Therefore I called on Friday to indicate that I was sending them the full balance $89.00 electronically via my bank, but the funds would not be withdrawn until Monday, at the earliest. I informed the guy that all would be paid, and requested that on that basis he waive the disconnect for two days until the funds came. All he did was argue with me and insist that I pay an additional $10.00 for an extension that I did not want nor did I want to pay for since I am in the process of cord cutting.

Dish has been great for my husband and I for almost 18 years. Their customer service has been wonderful and Dish has tried to fix every problem that we have encountered. True if the weather is bad or if you have a lot of trees the reception is bad and you lose the signal, but this is not the fault of Dish. The cost of Dish is far better than most cable companies. I normally do not give positive reviews but in this case I would give Dish a five star.

I referred my sister to DISH when it was time to get my echo dot. I was told Dish would credit my account and I would have to go purchase an echo dot. I called several time to resolve this but each time I was told something different. Refer a friend is FALSE ADVERTISEMENT. I have been with Dish Network over 10 years and to be disrespect and lied to Dish could not give me reason why they would not give me echo dot.

Stay away from DISH tv or you will be sorry. They have people from other countries take your order and tell you that you will get channels you ask for. Then when they come out and set it up it all diffrent and they dont let you out of your 2 year contract which I have no intention of paying. So stay away if you dont want aggravation like I got. Go with DirecTV, they gave me what I asked for.

I am a new customer for about a month and a half. The Hopper 3 Television guide software is not working. The guide goes forward to highlight TV programs for two days, but the guide is supposed to go up to seven days. The Dish technicians have exchanged 3 new Hopper 3's and all are defective. I spent eight to ten hours on the phone with Dish and they can't resolve the issue.

DISH's deal seemed too good to be true -- and it was. Because I relocated out of the area, I had to cancel my contract with DISH. Per DISH's direction, I mailed back the one piece of equipment that they requested and agreed to pay the early termination fee over a 12-month period. Fourteen months later, DISH billed me for $298, claiming I hadn't returned all of the equipment. Despite multiple call with DISH, they still insisted that I pay the $298 for the equipment -- even though they had told me I did not need to return it and I had moved from the house in which the equipment was located. Do not use DISH. They apparently make their money through fraudulent charge. I paid the earlier termination fee over a 12-mo, mailed back the equipment that I requested.

I have Frontier for internet/phone. Despite their partnership, and how DISH advertises its bundling with this provider, they refused to allow it. Apparently it is only "allowed" for certain accounts. The man at the DISH corporate office (have fun trying to find that info) told me that they don't have to disclose everything to customers, and that they are a privately owned company. Be careful... I wouldn't trust this Company for anything.

DISH Network is the same as the others - get you in on a great deal then when it's over up goes the price. Their package selection is no better than the others. Way too many channels that I don't even watch. Wish they would let the customer put their own package together.

Price keeps going up and up. I am ready to cut the cord and purchase a Roku. I also think I should get a discount when they are fighting with TV stations and so those stations that I am paying for are unavailable.

We had Dish Network 4 less than 6 months then all of a sudden we couldn't get internet service. They said it was my router. So I went out and spent over $200 on a high quality router. Still did not work, so they asked me if they come out. My wife stayed home from work all day. Their employees was in our home for over 8 hours. Equally on all brand new equipment and then said the problem is at there end. We call them again two days later, ask him see if they had it fixed. They said they needed to send someone out again which means my wife would have to stay home again (I told him no not unless they're willing to pay for my new router and my wife's time and they refuse). I told them they could not provide me with service as they promised. It has been a month of inconvenience. I sent their equipment back. They still kept billing me even though they had their equipment.

I had Dish for 12 hours. When I realized that the satellite was put up front and was taking the view, I asked the employee to remove the Dish. We looked at alternatives. There were none, unless I cut 2 trees. I called Dish to explain and they told me to return all equipment. They did not send me the labels so it took a while. I had to harass them to get labels to return equipment. I thought I was done and was assured at least twice that I had nothing to pay.

Due to weather conditions, it will affect the satellite and with cable it does not. If there was a way to do some adjustment for cost, it would benefit those of us using cable to have a way to make the satellite usage more beneficial than cable with no weather condition issues.

Called Dish to upgrade to Hopper, was told that all current services plus additional services came with renewed 2 year contract. Tech installed new equipment and later that evening discovered that the VOD (video on demand) would not work without internet. She insisted that we had to have had internet with old system in order to work... I have had old system since 2002 (15 years) and l also live in the country where we don't have unlimited internet and very limited plan with Verizon, one movie would have sucked up all my data. I told her to just bring back my old system and I would live with that.

I have been a loyal DISH customer for more than 10 years. The service and prices are great. Online and phone customer service is helpful. It is easy to change programming online. Reception is great too!

Dish Network has impeccable customer service. Calls are answered in a minute or less and they always want to help us. We are with Dish since 2008 and we moved once, they took care of it perfectly. Once we had a difficult, intermittent technical issue and they didn't give up until it was solved.

For anyone looking to get DISH TV service... be forewarned... my 83 yr old father listened to their sales pitch and agreed to try DISH service. Had service 10 days and called to cancel because he “hated” their service only to find out he owes $480 to cancel. I called customer service and was passed on to a supervisor & then president’s office only to be told the same party line 3 times, apparently there is no trial period or ability to cancel after ten days even if the service is beyond awful. As far as I’m concerned DISH is preying on consumers not aware of their policy and are out to rip off the public. If you choose to do business with DISH ask me for details. If they’ll rip off an 83 yr old man, they’ll rip you off too!!! Yes I’m contacting the Better Business Bureau tomorrow.

I'm paying a lot of money for practically nothing and so many channels I don't use! They've taken away good movie channels and charged more. Also an extra box had to be replaced and they're charging us twice as much for that as before. In other words we're getting a bad deal and we feel like captive audiences.

We do like DISH TV, but feel it is way too expensive for retired citizens. We live in Upstate NY and have weather conditions and it seems like the dish is always going out. I called to have our due date changed due to timing of our Social Security deposits and was told it would cost to change our current DUE DATE to a different date that would accommodate our direct deposits.

I think it is ridiculous that I have to package up all of my equipment and ship it off instead of them sending out a tech. I am moving, I have enough packing to do. I need to be on payroll with packing up their boxes. I was with them for 6 years and have paid for this equipment probably 5 times over. And they threaten to charge if you don't pack up their stuff and send it in. TV service wasn't horrible; internet was awful though. I got Xfinity and am happy with them.

My online account was hacked and over $975 of charges were incurred for channels and movies I did not order. The bill was over 12 times my monthly fee and no one had any brains to think that there may be a problem!!! It took many phone calls and wasted time to fix - had to talk to the "president's office". DISH is a worthless company peddling smut!!! Do not use. Do not waste your time or money and every time a leaf falls off a tree or a 1 rain drop falls you lose service. Crap crap crap!!! Wish I could rate this negative 1,000 stars!!!

Don't get many channels and the cost has gone up so much. I don't even have any movie channels on my package and I pay over $80.00 a month! I'm not a satisfied customer.

Dish service has gone up considerably which is extremely disappointing! We are satisfied with their customer service and service in general! However, we have been Dish customers for many years so I feel the cost should be kept reasonable &/or discounted for their loyal customers! Thank you!

My husband and I have a Dish for several years. We went to cancel it and Dish said that they would put it on a promise for 9 months. When I realized that 9 months had been up I called and ask for a packing box to send equipment back. Then I receive my bill that had been bundled with another company. They charged me like 200.00 dollars. When I called Dish to try and get this correct they refused to work with me saying that there was nothing they could do. I will never recommend this company to anyone.

Service is good, channel lineup is good. But I hate paying for all the channels I don't watch - mostly college sports. Would like to see that as a separate package.

I lose my signal too often and I pay way too much for what I get. They nickel & dime you to death! Also, when they say you get X # of channels, be prepared, many of those are funky shopping channels that you've never heard of - I'm not talking about QVC or HSN.

The basic DISH connection is very proper & very cheap when including their monthly charges. Their costs have initially attracted me the most, including many DIVERSIFIED channels & fully inexpensive to operate. I'll emphasize that once or twice per year I'm receiving minor Dish/satellite connection for not working properly, but that only included few minutes or hours while clearly working fine. I also know that our higher restrictions should also be included against our very expensive & fully corruptive COMCAST or VERIZON!!!

Former Cox subscribers, made the switch a little over a year ago. Much, much larger movie menu and we'll never go back. Still wish DISH Network would offer MAVTV. The weather blackouts are a non-issue.

The service that I have gotten from DISH Network is really good for its value and is a lot better than my previous service that I had at my previous house.

For the most part no complaints... however too many info commercials take up a lot of programming... and many shows are repeated 2 or 3 times in a row e.g. Mon, Tues and Wed.

This company is, at its core, dishonest. They will promise you all manner of things and then do whatever they can to weasel out of their promises. One of the worst things that you can do is to allow them to charge your checking account or credit card on a monthly basis. They will slowly increase your fees and charges until you are paying far more than you think for the service. So if you do not check on them every month you will one day find out that you have been paying far more than you think for the service you are getting. I was a DISH customer for nearly 20 years so I know whereof I speak.

We haven't had a lot of problems but when we have to call customer service it takes forever to get a real person. And then often times they switch you to others. Plus, getting sick of Say Yes to the Dress!! We pay a lot of money a month ($165) for seeing the same things over and over. Thinking about changing to a less expensive package. Too many sports channels also.

The service is better than the other companies I was with and the price is cheaper than most, I have recommended to friends. Get free channels each month.

Even opting out of the larger packages for a small one with options, the small package inundates you with a multitude of shopping and religious channels.

I'm satisfied with my service but would like more channel control, there are too many channels that I never even turn to. I also think the price could be better.

DISH Network has too many shopping channels and also goes out during heavy rain. There are some channels they do not carry such as MeTV, full time Cozi TV, This Channel and subchannels of network and local stations. But the good: 1080I picture and customizable sound.

Poor service, went one month without service due to problems they could not figure out, never received compensation for the loss. Customer service is very frustrating and not helpful. I don't believe they are able to think and respond beyond what is written on their troubleshooting scripts. Poor or no reception when skies are overcast or a bit stormy. Plus the technician that adjusted the equipment on garage roof, caused serious damage by pushing the excess cable in between the roof lines, didn't realize until we found water damage inside the garage/wall and outside ice dams which accumulated down the cable to the foundation of the house caused more water damage to the base of the house.

I would not use Dish Network as a TV provider. They are nothing but a bunch of rip off people. They asked for three pieces of information then read the information then they tell you after. I have already told them that there is no money in the account yet so they pull $0.75 a dollar another dollar and then I get charged $96 in bounced fees after I told the guy not to pull any money then they tell me when I call back to try to make them correct it that it's not their problem it's mine and I have to deal with it. This is wrong and I will make sure I tell everybody not to use Dish because all they are a bunch of rip off people.

Well, to start with, no matter who it is, the programming is awful! People in Hollywood are not as wonderful as they think they are. The best programs are the animal programs on Nat Geo Wild and Animal Planet. But same shows over and over and repeat program the next day. They have way too much control at way too high a price! So overpriced for what you get and paying for equipment rental that never stops goes up all the time and you could buy it and be done with it, If I could get the tv stations to put up larger antennas as we only live out 25 miles from the city we could get rid of these people all together. The worst thing is when it rains the dish goes off and if the wind blows it goes off again.

I have been a Dish customer for more than 30 years and have seen all the changes. Some of the changes are great and some are not. The cost is very expensive as I also have my internet with them. Both are all I have for the best service in the "country". They are very reliable if the weather is good but can be a pain when it isn't. All in all, for folks like us who live way out in the country, they are great!

Customer service very helpful when I call for help. Even though people give bad ratings I don't have any problem with customer service or with reception on the DISH.

DISH is all we can get and its cost was too much. They cram all these channels at us that are useless. For service you can't understand them on the phone.

Everything is great until you have issues with the DVR. Then, they only want to "reset" it causing you to lose any recorded programs you had and/or already set up. That is their answer for everything. Reset the DVR and any issue you have will be remedied. Just frustration! We have had the same DVR issues since the first week it was installed, the DVR has been "RESET" too many times to even count, and NOTHING has been fixed. Just lost recordings and DVR settings we previously had. :(

We have had Satellite TV for a long time now. I don`t know what life would be like without it. I look forward to watching every day. I have a few favorite channels that I watch weekly although look through the channel guide every day. My favorites are crime and nature shows.

DISH Network did not tell me the truth when we talked to them about what we wanted, I was told my internet. Would let us watch Netflix, we can watch one movie a month only. They won't fix this. We want out of our contract.

DISH used to be great with good customer service but both have changed dramatically. Ongoing issues with programming; shows set to record don't, others we skip record instead. Guide will say one program but something different actually records. Whenever we call, DISH 'blames' our dvr, even though they just gave us a new, upgraded dvr at a higher monthly fee and it is obviously an internal programming issue not a dvr issue. Except that I do not want to get into a contract anywhere, I would leave DISH in an instant as they refuse to take responsibility for their issues.

Costs and duplication of shopping channels. HD DVR are great! But I just decided to cut the cord and go with OTR Antennae and use a DVR to record local programming.

Whenever it rains, gets cloudy or too sunny the dish takes a break and service is interrupted for at least an hour or until the weather clears up. If you're watching something good you can forget it.

Pay to have your satellite adjusted every few months. It would be worth it. If you're a do-it-yourselfer you'd save a lot of money. Otherwise you gain a lot of "snow" or drop a lot of channels. Cost keeps going up and options keep going down, but if you're really savvy and aren't afraid to lose service for a few weeks, you may be able to negotiate for a better deal, but believe me, it won't last long. Of course, you lose service every time it rains hard, a storm moves by, it snow hard, it's really cloudy... need I go on. And getting changes and updates... you have the be the account owner, so if the account holder is too lazy to get things fixed... too bad for you. But it could be worse... you could have service through Verizon!

We are bundled with Windstream. Not a good idea. No one wants to take repair calls and ee frequently have service down, bad weather and such.

DISH Network's packages don't meet our needs. The service is expensive for what you get and there are a lot of channels that we never watch. I have looked into other providers but can't get one with reliable service in our area or I'd switch.

I don't understand why satellite companies can't just let customers subscribe to the channels they watch. Or at least, include the more popular channels in the lower priced packages. I HATE paying over $100 a month just to watch a few channels on tv. I do not subscribe to the premium movie channels and it still cost me over $100 a month.

This is not the company I wanted, but Charter would not run the cable up my driveway. I am happy with Dish Network but don't like the extra charge for the joey. And it is just too expensive.

Been with Dish for over 2 years. Box decided to go out one day and we called them up. They said they would send us one ASAP. Asked to be credited for those days without service and they sent one overnight. The new one froze during install. Called again. Said it was our fault! Would take 3 weeks for a serviceman to come to our house. We canceled. They were rude to us. Signed 2-year contract for a lower amount and after 1 year our bill doubled. Every time it rained, we would lose signal. We tried at one point to add Internet and they gave us the runaround and said they would call back in a few days and they never did. Now I'm waiting to see what kind of bills and crap they are going to charge us. Our contract was over months ago. They give new customers good deal then you sign contract for 2 years and and after a year jack your bill way up and don't care about customer loyalty at All! Worst service Ever!

I moved in December 2016 to an apartment complex and they don't accept antennas of any kind. So I called and they made me buy the "sling" which didn't work! I gave up and put it on hold for a while since they didn't give any solutions whatsoever. I moved last September, called, and got my service working and FREE! Well I just found out that I gotta move again and I said no biggie since the ** ad that supposedly the moving was free.

First there are too many commercials, no matter what channel. And at least the DISH offers a lower priced package, 35.00. In the past they would work with you, the others won't and that why I am with DISH.

I have had excellent service from Dish Network. With exception of my bill going up, I've had no problems with them. When I call, I've always had considerate and professional help. So far, so good!

Dish continues on the road to less and less value at higher and higher prices. At this point, I am reviewing other options - I have been a loyal Dish customer for 10+ years. Programming has gone downhill very fast over the past two years and it is at the point now where I literally cannot find a new program to watch - all of their channels basically re-run all old TV programming with the few exceptions of occasional new programming on the premium channels.

DISH resolved the issue and they waived the early termination fee. I’m very satisfied with the resolution.

I have tried other companies and came back to Dish, I have never had any problems, has great customer service I have no complaints. Go Dish go.

| up for 2 yrs. After about 4 months started missing local channels and new channels. Had maintainability plan and called & begged them to come out and fix it. Would not service networks. Canceled account. Cost me 295.00. Real CROOKED. LIMITED INCOME and CHARGED to my CARD. NASTY PEOPLE, DON'T CARE ABOUT REPUTATION. Ripping off old people.

Dish changed their software and the lag time from screen to screen is horrible. The system is very hard to maneuver in. Not very happy.

I had no idea that a dish antenna was so weather sensitive. If we got anything more than a drizzle the water running over the dish prevented decent reception. And snow was even worse. As soon as an inch or more snow accumulated on the dish reception was nonexistent. We took turns bundling up and going out to brush the dish off. And they didn't install it in a very accessible spot either. Never again!

The cost is way too high and they make excuses for increases and blame other local network. Their customer service is lacking in what they can do over the phone. The signal is won't stay and I lose it about 50 times per day.

We have been so happy with the Dish. Not with Comcast. Tech support is so much better; and NOT OUTSOURCED!!! You can understand their tech support and they are sooo much better trained.

They have on demand feature and have the seasons of a series that's on TV let's. They are listed but never have The Season's episodes there. It drives me crazy. Comcast always has everything listed with all the season so you can go back to the very first time it started. Dish Network should do the same. If they claim to have on demand feature and put up the icon for the episode but don't even have all of the episode what's the point of an on demand. Even the current season that they're in they don't even have all of the episodes. They're usually missing like the first three.

It seems that the bill keeps creeping up every couple of months for the same service. With the 250 channels that are available to view, one would think there would always be something worth watching... Every month I wonder why I keep paying the bill when there is only about 1 maybe 2 months of the year that I manage to find program that catches my interest when I turn on the set.

I had Dish for a year and a half. I loved it. They always had specials on paid channels. Recently I had to change jobs, I called and spoke to several different customer service representatives letting them know and that my payments would be late and not in full. I was assured that, that was okay and nothing be would go wrong with my service. Then I start getting emails saying I was going to be disconnected so I call, and get told that they weren't going to work with me with my bill. I was given a deadline to make a payment and I made one, but instead of extending my cutoff, they shortened it. So I'm no longer with Dish.

We like Dish Network, but it's just ok. We pay way too much for 250 plus channels because the channels we like ONLY come in that package. Our dish loses signal very easily due to even just clouds. We live in the country where we have no access to high speed internet or reliable cell signal so Dish is about the best in that situation. We've had DirecTV, and switched because the customer service was much better with Dish.

I've been a customer of Dish for a lot of years and they just keep getting better. They are reliable, have great service and have many good channel choices. Love being able to record so many channels with their dvr/Hopper.

DISH Network has been good to work with over the years. However if you have a problem they instantly want you to pay for a technician to come out. But as for weather related disruption of the signal, we have never had that problem.

Every month I had to call to find out why this or that charge was on my bill when I should of been on 2-yr contact at the same monthly amount. Not worth the frustration.

Dish has responded to our call immediately and provided the programs that we decided to purchase. They have been honest with us and did everything they could to always do as we requested when we made decisions to change anything about our contract agreement. We like our cable provider, Dish! Thank you.

I've been a Dish customer since 2000. They have always given me great support. Customer service has continually improved since the early days. A few years ago they started using the Philippines as their customer service base. This has worked out very well. The reps that answer the phone are for the most part well versed on Dish when it comes to answering questions. And if they can not, make a serious effort to find a resolution to your problem rapidly. Above all they are very courteous all the time. Prices at Dish have stabilized more over the years, and programming choices have improved in terms of selection and quantity.

I switched back after a wretched experience with Comcast. And have had awesome service. One complaint. Well 2. One we need awesome internet and 2 the prices have gone through the roof!

I lost my good paying job and try to explain about it and could not pay my bill so instead of trying to help me they want their equipment back also been with them for 10 years.

Satellite TV is the only alternative in the rural area where I live. I got DISH Network when they first started and had to install the dish myself. About 5 or 6 years ago they upgraded the antenna dish and re-positioned it. I had an issue with the dish last year, they sent out a service guy who replaced a part he said had cracked due to UV damage. I was charged $80, even though the dish belonged to them. Earlier this year DISH dropped my local channels due to a contract dispute. 2 months later, they reached a settlement and I have my local channels back. The dish does black out during a heavy rainstorm or snowstorm. I have had to clear snow off it a few times.

Dish works for basic tv and local channels where I can't get them any other way, price is ok; but, not great! Limited number of TVs or the price is very trendy!

Half the channels you can't watch unless you order it and it's stupid you have to call and talk to someone to order it. When you do and then DISH Network charge The movie and an additional 5 Something for the call.

After suffering through Frontier Communications, specifically their Fios TV, any other provider would look good. That being said, I really appreciate DISH. I have had very few problems, but when I did I was able to get a DISH agent quickly and their service was quick - i.e. problem solved. Not at all like Frontier's infinite waiting times and rather poor service. The DISH DVR (Hopper) is outstanding. I highly recommend DISH!

The only thing I have issue with Dish Network is they all count music as part of your programming and price. I have tried other cable services and they keep taking programs off but still charge the same or more.

They package the shows so if you want 1 channel you have to go up to the next package, more expensive of course. If it rains forget it does not come in, or will go in and out.

The DISH Network customer service is reliable and professional. They have honored their claims with me and I feel they have been honest. Those two facts were not evident with prior companies.

Dish Network is awesome and never had any problems with customer service either. Much better than cable and never have outages either. Would recommend to everyone.
