First the install was the wrong box, then another box, but non HD-Hey the offer was free HD--yet another box--only some HD--yet another box finally HD but not able to download programming-another trip they install a :Sling Box" Hmmm, , still not working right--so another repairman come out and does something-all seems OK--1st bill I get zapped for $50 install--it was advertised as FREE. Continuous intermittent problems forcing reset after reset-- So today I turn the TV on--and get Complete loss of signal message---OK so again, pull the plug, go thru reset options as per the guy on the DISH Chat--Still nothing--so my only option is a repairman to come out because the equipment is defective--BUT WAIT-its been 6 months and I either have to sign up for service at $72 a year or pay $95 for a repairman--no other options
So...I cancelled my credit card used for DISH-and Dish can go to hell0I will NOT pay them a dime, I will not pay for breaching the contract, and I aint gonna send them the receiver back--I am a pissed American tired of being screwed by big business--considering the repair people live within 5 miles of me0this is a JOKE

AVOID DISH-AND AVOID DIRECTV too--both are rip off masters

In october 2010 I decided to pirchase dish network. After paying the exspensive instalation fees and heating them bad mouth DIRECTV I decided to go throughwith my decision and purchase their service. Problem #1: Dish did not call me to tell me when their person was coming, he jus showed up.
Problem #2: he barely spoke english n we could not understand each other half the time.
Problem #3: He tracked dirt thru my house and did not bother to clean it up.
After the instalation was done I signed my papers and he left. When he pulled oit my deiveway, my channels did not work. I called dish immediatly and they told me to wait at least an hour and restart my dish box. 2 hours later it was not working and now I was told to unplug my box and wait 5 mins then plug it back in. After 5 hoirs it finally worked. That night it froze and I was told its frozen because I didnt have a phone line hooked to it. Every week for the past 6 months it performs something called "integrity" check. Right in the middle of recording a program, it wants to perfprm this and all they could tell me was to pirchase a house phone and hook up a phone line. I dont recommend anyone to purchase dish because this experience bought the worst out of me.

I am an employee of DISH and I have been working there for some time now. Every day its the same crap different diapers type deal they tell us they want #s and quality. Ever since the cost of living went up twice we and I mean all employees in the Texas plant we have not seen a single penny from it. It used to have been a good job before but know it s piece of ***t, they have my doing 5 different things all at once which is supposed to be the job of 5 different people and I only get paid for one.
