    I've been having a lot of problems with my DVR and been very frustrated with no answers and no fixes. One person hung up with us today right in the middle of her checking problems. Then we called again and finally talked with a man named Justin. He went through every single issue. He did not sound like he was just reading a script and just repeating over and over as the others did. He got my equipment working again and even explained why my DVR kept saying it is full when it is not.

    I am hoping to hear from Dish soon when the issue is resolved. I can't find anything about the issue anywhere on the Dish sites. If I had not met Justin today, I was going to get out. If Dish cares about their customers they will make sure all their service people know what they are doing. I wish I could give him a great review, but he did not know a way we could do it. He deserves credit for his good work. The service people are humans too, and a little praise can go a long way, especially if you are not paying good wages. I don't know about their wages. Just suspecting. I am not recommending Dish at this time, but if you hire more people like Justin, I will.

      Worst company EVER! Removed local channels for months and kept blaming everyone but themselves. Customer for 20 years. Still charged early termination fees, return equipment, etc. Customer service rude flippant and just suck. Do not sign up with these losers or you'll most likely regret it. I see they just filed for bankruptcy to stiff their creditors. Great job from a deadbeat company! Go anywhere but with them. I sincerely hope they go out of business!!

      I have had the Dish for 26 years. 10 years ago, I canceled my internet with them, and 10 years later, they are still billing me. When I called them to stop charging me and to credit my account. They will not credit my account even though they haven't offered that internet service for years. What a rip-off.

      I have been with Dish for like 13 or more years, So long I don't remember for sure. They constantly are increasing my rate, even when they quote lock me in at a rate for 2 years it still goes up. The toper was I pay for a small basic programming and added on local package for 15 dollars a month, they had a price dispute and were not showing my channels, when I called in after waiting for an hour I got hung up on. Called back again and after another 45 min. they have me a 5 dollar credit. Lo and behold the programming issue continued on for a second month.

      When I called back the next month they said no we will not do anything for you, we gave you 5 dollars last month. Congrats to me my contract is up only a few months after that so I called in to cancel, they transfer me to a specialist. He tried to sell me again on a 3 year lock. He wasn't listening and just kept trying to convince me to stay with them. Then he asked me to hold for a minute so I thought I was making progress, then after about a min and a half he just disconnected the call. No details, no explanation and dish is gone, didn't finish out the month or anything. Goodbye and good riddance!

      Dish Network has to be the worst ** station on the planet. Shows the same ** every day. What a joke. I go through every channel and everything is outdated and just straight up sucks! Half the shows are from the 70's and 80's. This is 2026.

      After having crappy service for probably close to a year, we decided we had their service beyond what we cared to deal with. 5+ years. So they are making us pay another bill after I paid the final bill. They charged us for a box, actually 2 boxes and we received 1, and label to return their crap. I took pictures because this ain't my 1st rodeo. Mind you, I have 2 shipping accounts for my own needs so this a crock of bovine scatology. We have not had service with them for 6 weeks at least, and they still sent a bill for service. DO NOT USE DISH! They said we were loyal customers, so you over charge and keep charging us for whatever you see fit?? If we were bad customers what would you do? Never ever again. DO NOT RECOMMEND!

      I would give them 0 stars if I could. I was a loyal customer for 20 years plus. Did away with their service, was told they would send box for equipment within 30 days. It never came, called several times finally got box mailed everything back. Then I get a bill for 21 dollars and some change, called them back several times, no one could tell me what it was for. They turned it over to collections. Called collections to dispute the charge, he said it was probably for the box and label. I was never told about.
