    Cinemax penny deal ending??

    Funny...I got the same letter yesterday, so I called in to see if it was actually ending, or was it because I had temporarily taken off my AutoPay. I was told that I had it for a year, so it's just expiring for me, since it was good for only a year. I told the rep that couldn't be true...

    Good customer service

    Yeah, people tend to come here to complain, but I personally believe there are a LOT of people that have good experiences, but don't say anything about it. That's kind of the same with everything, you know? How often do you see people talking to a manager of a store, or some place, to...

    Needs some advice from Blackberry users.

    Hi Don! I'm a die hard Verizozn user and i too use a Blackberry. I used to have a 700W as well, but not being on an Enterprise Server, I used Verizon's Wireless Synch. I wasn't too wild about it only because it synched every 15 minutes, as opposed to the push that the Blackberries do. Now that...

    Is cancellation's normal?

    Actually, in my area, DirecTV is the one with the history of either cancelling...well...actually, they don't cancel. They just schedule you 3 weeks out, and then their lousey installer shows up 6 hours late...at 9 at night...and then refuses to get on my roof to do the install! when I pitched a...

    The cinemax deal for .1 cent, I was charged full price...

    Sounds to me by reading that, she is crediting your account. I'd save that chat session and pay your bill less the $148. then if it turns up again, email ceo@echostar.com and send this with your email.

    How long will you wait for DISH to deliver before switching to DirectTV

    I was with Direct and they screwed me over big time on lousey customer Service and dddddrefusing to set up my dish the way it needed to be in order to get service at my house. And this was after waiting 3 weeks for an install! I called Dish and they got me up and running in 3 days. No, I...

    ditching cable

    something like that would be up to the individual installer/contractor. You would probably pay the installer directly for that.

    I finally heard back from emailing Dish CEO

    Funny you shoudl say that because as I was reading through his story, I realized that her story is almost EXACTLY what happened to me when I tried to get Direct transferred from my apartment to my new house. That's why I'm with Dish now. I haven't finished reading through the thread, but I'd...

    Can't put contract on "vacation"?

    It may be worth an email to 'ceo@echostar.com' and ask them. I've not had to deal with that dept myself, but I've read here where a lot of people with somewhat unusual circumstances have been able to get somewhere with them. Good luck!
