On Feb 2007 I took a DISH TV connection from Pune (Maharashtra) as I was really encouraged by the advertisement by Sharukh Khan “Don’t be SANTUST, WISH karo DISH karo”.

It was a 6 months free connection and after the installation it started working fine. In the mean time i.e. on September 2007 I had to relocate to Bangalore (Karataka) for the change of my job.

Then onwards I am continuously facing harassment by the DISH TV services.
After settling down in Bangalore I had requested for the re-installation of the equipment and that took 1 month for them to activate the service.

I had made a payment of 800/- for the package MAXI-BANGLA on OCT 2007 through my credit card and then onwards I have registered 12 complains for not receiving all the desired channels.

For the last one month I have continuously followed them up with all the complaint no but every time they come up with same excuses like
• Invalide mobile no of customer.
• I will receive call from their senior within 2 hrs etc etc.
I dont know what to do and how to take action against these customer harrasments.

signed up for a friend to dish tv and paid the 49$ sign up fee with my debit card and the person i signed for canceled the service and dish debited the account for 188 for the remaining months. i felt like i didn't owe this and called up visa and they agreed to do a investigation and put the money back in my account the same day they also paid several overdrafts due to dish taking out the 18. they also said we don't let dish do this and after the investgation dish paid them the money back so i got my money back. my advice; don't even call dish just call the number on the back of your debit or credit card.
several months later dish also debited 100$ more for equitment not returned and i called visa again and they put the money back in again the same day and after their investgaation dish admited they had the equitment and visa took care of it again. don't trust dish network to honor anything they promise. their mot honest and just out to get your money. again call your debit credit or bank when this happens because dish is not going to help you

I had taken one of four Dish TV connections in the month of Aug 2007.
After a week or two of viewing the channels, certain channels went of the air.
After some time, when the India-Australia one day series started, I found that I was not receiving any of the Doordarshan channels. On further checking I found that most of the lesser channels were not being recd.

I contacted the local dealer who had installed the set a number of times, however no one showed up. On 29th of Sep I lodged a complaint with Dish TV on tele, due to no response from the dealer.

Despite phoning a number of times, and leaving my details, no one from Dish TV has bothered to contact me at the numbers left with the customer care agent, every time I called.

Standard replies that you will receive a call, shortly have never materialised.

Necessary action may pl be undertaken to resolve my problem. I notice that there are other channels going off the air.

My Dish Tv code is 015-0432-5599-9, under the name of Major Pawan Kumar, 3 Inf DOU.

I subscribed to Dish TV 1 year ago (a huge mistake! I now think) Soon, I started having all sorts of troubles. One day they disconnected the service citing some charges. I interacted with their Customer Care and disputed the charges. They reversed the charges finally, and restored the service. Now 1 month ago, they again, disconnected the service. Upon inquiry, I found they were again bringing back the issued settled earlier. I mailed the earlier email etc and asked for detailed statement of charges and/or restoration of service. But there is no response despite several reminders and phone calls.

I am an extremely frustrated victim of this SCAM called DishTV & their "Customer Care".

My bad luck i through my hard earn money for buying a dish tv, i have contacted to all concern person either dish tv people or dealer person, still of no use, when contacting at dealer point he says, tell us ur dues, to get the dues you have to go through the online site of dish tv, any how i try to log on there but still ever after 30 days waiting for the user name and password confirmation.

Second my dish tv is not even showing free to air channel, i dont know these dish tv people comes under Indian rules or not.

My dear friend i suggesting you not to waste ur money purchasing a dish TV.

Thanks
