    My call to Dish Network today

    ADVERTS 1
    I have til December until my 1 year commitment ends(811 & 301). I subscribe to AT120 and HD package. I called today to see if I could lease an 811, and I was told no. When asked why not I was told I "do not qualify". I asked if it was because of the commitment and he said he doesn't know, computer just shows "do not qualify". I will call back when I have more time to "argue". Has anyone been able to lease an 811 while still under a "commitment" for an 811? I would appreciate any feedback on this. Thanks.

    My call to Dish Network today

    I called Executive Office today to find out why I "do not qualify" to lease an 811. The lady told me it was because of my 1 year commitment still in effect. I pointed out that I subscribe to AT120 & HD package, have never been late with my payment, and that now I am disgusted with Dish. She then told me I CAN lease an 811 with a $49 installation charge, it will be done tomorrow!!

    I guess I'm confused... why are you going to lease the 811 if you already have it??

    Ummmm...maybe he wants two of them?
    FYI:
    -It's "couldn't care less", not "could care less".
    -It's "would've", "should've", and "could've", not "would of", "should of", and "could of".
    -It's "voila!", not "walla!" (That's right. You've been speaking French all this time.)
    -The first word in each sentence should be capitalized.
    -A period goes at the end of each sentence.
    -Commas are also a good idea, on occasion.

    Shame on you I should report you. You're only allowed to have 2 811s on an account. Dish CSRs can't handle all the calls for people that have 4 of those things and if you're leasing you should only have 1

    My call to Dish Network

    I wanted a second one in my basement HT room, I just bought an X1 front projector for DVD's/HD satellite. My 811 has been working great since the last couple upgrades.
