When the technician came to install my satellite, he unplugged my freezer and all content was ruined
When the technician came to install my satellite, he unplugged my freezer and all content was ruined. i called to inform them of his negligence and all they would say is im sorry. i sent an itemized list of my loss and their response was. that there was not enough proof that their tech had done it. it has been several months still not reimbursed and still can not watch a full show on my t.v. their satelite service is so poor i would be surprized if i got to watch a whole commercial.

I got a bill for $112.93, and I do not see how my bill is that high
I got a bill for $112.93, and I do not see how my bill is that high. I have always paid it on time and in full. There is no reason why my bill should be that much. Someone needs to either explain to me why my bill is that high, or they are about to lose my service with them. I do not have a problem with paying my bills if I owe it, but there is no way I owe that much when my bill is only suppose to be $70.00 a month.

Customer Service Lies
I called to cancel my Dish Network today. This was after having been a customer of theirs for about 7 years. I pay my bills on time, I haven't asked for additional discounts, I've been a very good customer. We're trying to cut back on our bills, we're living on one income because of a layoff one year ago. After two phone conversations and two "chat" conversations with Dish Network, we were not able to reduce our monthly fees without losing channels we watch frequently.
I called DirectTV and found I was able to get the channels we watched for half of what the Dish Network fees were. I talked to Dish Network again, and still no improvement in the monthly fee. I then signed up with DirectTV. It is due to be installed tomorrow.
Tonight, I called Dish Network to have them disconnect our service tomorrow evening. The gentleman I spoke with said service would be cancelled at whatever time I specified, that disconnects are done at midnight. I arranged to have it disconnected tomorrow at midnight.
Well, I guess I'm just TOO TRUSTING ... as soon as I got off the phone, my service was totally disconnected. I immediately called back, another rep said they always disconnect immediately, and not at a pre-arranged time. He offered to reconnect service if I paid a month's service fee, then I could call back tomorrow and cancel. I asked to speak to his supervisor, he said "good luck" when he transferred me. The supervisor could not reconnect without a $100 charge since it was already disconnected, and there was no additional person/supervisor to speak to.
Do not believe Dish Network customer service reps ... they lied to me tonight and they will never have my business again. I will also make sure everyone I can reach on the internet or my personal friends know that Dish is not to be trusted.

Nothing, but a waste of time
We moved from florida in FEb. 06 and contacted Dish network to disconnect the service. We paid the Feb. bill. They told us fine, they would disconnect us and for us to contact them when we got to our new destination. I had no reason to do so, because I wasnt going to use them again. On Dec. 2006 I received a last notice from them for service through Jan. 2007 and demanding that I pay the amount they said was due. I e-mailed them, wrote to them and never heard back. Now I am getting letters from CBE Group Inc a collection agency. I called them and told them there was nothing to collect, and they said, well Dish Network has to tell us that you dont owe anything. I said well just send me another notice and I will charge you with violations of the Fair Debt Collection Act. She told me to have a nice day. I should not have to put up with this garbage. Now I have to contact Dish Network again and waste my time with this. Thanks for letting me vent.

Billing/Service
I purchased Dish Network on an advertised special 12/24/09. What a nightmare..THe system does not work properly and never has. The advertised special did not include what it said, to get it right took multiple ad ons, I am being billed for service fees and the technicians claim the inbstallation is incorrect and I should not be billed. I was suposed to get a credit every month for one year and they keep telling me they credit the account but since they force you to have direct billing to a credit card they just charge what ever they want to the card and it is impossible to get it adjusted. They just tell me if I am unhappy to pay $300+ dollars to get out of the contract early. I actually doubt that even doing this would shut off their ability to charge my account what ever they want for the rest of my life. Whenever I start pusing for satisfaction on the phone they just hang up. I have trid to access my account on line for months and they tell me they have a computer glich and uit is not possible and the are working on it. That has been their story for months. VERY DISSATISFIED cannot get reception at the times we have available to use it. A RIP OFF ... DO NOT BUY DISH NETWORK ...I REPEAT DO NOT BUY DISH NETWORK...YOU WILL BE SORRY IF YOU DO.

They totally misrepresented their service
I am very disappointed with this. This is not what I was promised or agreed too. I was to receive 2 receivers at no charge. Free DVR. I was never told of any protection plan. I was never told of DVR service fee. Now I am being charged for this. I do not think you represented service as it is billed. I think you have totally misrepresented this service.

Fraudulant statements prior to sale
I attempted to obtain service with DISH TV on three (3) different days. The last conversation I had was with a salesman that promised he would "set straight" all of the information I had previously been given. I explained to him...we wanted FREE HD FOR LIFE and we needed DVRs for two (2) separate rooms. Since I share the home with family, I explained that we wanted totally separate capabilities on each DVR - so that both rooms could watch a program independently as well as record two (2) programs independently. This would mean that the Dual DVR would need to have the capabilities to transmit two (2) separate programs and record (2) entirely different programs. 1 - Dual DVR = 4 entirely different and separate TV programs. He was agreeing that it was absolutely possible and that my brother would have no problem sharing this Dual DVR. There would be no arguements and no conflict as what he would be watching and recording would be absolutely independent of what I was watching and recording. NOW...that the contract is signed and the installation is complete, we find that this is not true. If I am watching a program and recording another program...all the people in the other room can do is to watch something that has already been recorded. I have called and complained and have been told that I had signed the contract agreeing that everything was to my satisfaction. If I want to have total independency, I must pay (up front) $200.00 for another receiver, $15.00 additional installation charge and $10.00 a month for the additional DVR rental. The monthly service coverage does not apply in this situation. So, now we are a prisioner of DISH TV for the next 24 months. God Bless Us All. I don't know if we can survive this or not. Obviously, DISH TV has no intention of assuming any responsibiulity for the false advertisement and/or fraudulant statements made by the salesman. I am so sorry that we left DIRECT TV - just for the free HD TV FOR LIFE OFFER. BEWARE OF ANY SALES THAT DISH NETWORK IS ADVERTISING...it is not what it seems.

They say that the consumer is important to them, but , judging by the evidence, important only as a source of money
I had to fight to get autopay on the date I wanted instead of the date I began service. Dishnetwork made what should have been a very simple transaction very difficult. I would not give up the date that was sensible and convenient for me because it did not seamlessly fit into their inflexible system. Once again, they turned what should have been a quick and painless transaction in customer service into difficulty for the consumer.
I received a new bank card number and called dish to inform them of the new number. I talked to billing and was told that the system would not accept my new number unless I was making a payment. I talked to an employee (Alyssa, who tried to help) and then to her supevisor, Kim, who did not. She said that "I"m sorry you feel that way" when I told her the system was inflexible and should be changed. When I told her that I wanted to make a complaint, I was told I would have to write into an address she could provide; she could only note my complaint in my account file.
I called them as a courtesy to THEM. Dish network, once again, makes it difficult for the consumer. They say that the consumer is important to them, but, judging by the evidence, important only as a source of money.

Their equipment didn't work half of the time
We got new equiptment last year and had to pay $200-300, the equiptment didnt work half of the time and we call all the time, and then found out that the equipt was test equipt, and out dated after 3 months and we were to pay another $200-300 for the newest equiptment that once again doesnt work all the time. They dont offer refunds or credits in this short amount of time. But if your late on a bill you will be charged interest, Why am I not getting a credit on Faulty equiptment? Why does the cusomer suffer? Arent this companies suppose to offer cusomer satisfaction?
