Thread: Urgent Notice

Received an Urgent Notice from Dish in the mail that my system needed work due to new technology. I have a dish pointed at 110,119, and 129 as well as a wing at 61.5, which is not hooked up. I have all HD and have no problems, the CSR I scheduled with was very vague about what they would do. Anyone else get one of these??

Yes I have seen that. It is a sleazy direct tv marketing ploy. Don't buy it!! If the number is any thing other than 1-800-333-3474 it is not DishNetwork.




P.S.Technically it is not direct tv proper but by a retailer selling direct.

I would like to see a copy of the letter. If this is what I think it is, it is a vary illegal ploy. I Know a few people at DishNetwork who would want to see it.

Also I would like to apologize I was vary angry when I first saw what you described. A few of my customers have fallen for a ploy just like that.


P.S. If you post it, blank out your personal information before posting it.

I think more info is needed .

I know. Witch is why I apologized, BUT that being said it seems scary close to something that hit my district a few years a go. That scam hit a few of my customers. To make a long story short it was not fun, cheep or easy to make thing right again for those customers. That is why I was angry.

At some point, Dish probably will contact those of us with 110/119/61.5 to move us to EA or WA. But you're kinda already there - with 61.5 to boot.

The has Dish Network logo on it and the number to call is 1-888-383-3727, which if you call it, says, Welcome to Dish Network upgrade hotline. The letter says that my dish must be reaimed due to new technology, this would be done for free. They are coming Saturday. Are they maybe moving a sat coming up to a slightly different location?

Already had a ton of repoints the past few days... Keeping us busy for sure.

I wonder how they're choosing who to contact first? I have 119/110/61.5, and not only haven't I been contacted, this is the first time I've HEARD of Dish contacting anyone.
