    Dish Customer Service - How to Contact?

    The only way you’re going to be able to cancel service is to wait on the line. Then ask for retention and wait some more. Then cross your fingers that whoever answers has the knowledge and or ability to cancel your service. It probably took me a month to finally get my service canceled and they...

    How can I get Minnesota Twins games on dish network?

    It’s been this way for a couple years now. You can also subscribe to Bally’s Sports plus. But they want $20 a month… Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    New Hopper Install Questions

    The OTA adapter just plugs into a USB port. Once plugged in, it will prompt you to scan the channels. Many of the channels found will have guide information and many will not. I don’t recall what determines it. I think they have guide information if your local package includes that channel. I...

    4K Joey replacing Joey 2.0 - Why does tech have to install?

    Trust me. You don’t want a 4K Joey. The fact that they are still selling them is ridiculous. If you want a new Joey, you want a Joey 4. The last time I tried to get a Joey 4, they would only do it if I added the Hopper+ and it required a tech. This was back when the Hopper+ first came out...

    DISH Hacked - Websites are BACK ONLINE!

    There’s at least one person in loyalty that has been able to cancel accounts. She got mine canceled and said that day she had canceled over 18 accounts. I haven’t gotten any indication that the boxes have been sent to me, but the $20 charge for them shows up on my bill. Sent from my iPhone...

    DISH Hacked - Websites are BACK ONLINE!

    I called the x1260 number, but at this point I don’t think it directs anyone to retention. I think the first line of defense is front line CSRs. They still had to forward me. Last Sunday when I spoke to retention he told me to call 888-383-2309 to avoid the wait just to wait some more. But this...

    DISH Hacked - Websites are BACK ONLINE!

    I got a hold of someone today to complete my cancellation. Literally the moment she answered my call the system crashed on her. We chatted for a bit and she assured me she’d take care of it once everything was back up. A little later in the day the cancellation went through. She said she had...

    DISH Hacked - Websites are BACK ONLINE!

    Well, first of all there has been nothing said for 2-3 days that they still can’t cancel service. So the only way anyone is going to find out is when someone posts that they were successful. Secondly, why can’t the employee who answers the phone or performs the call back tell us that they still...

    Dish Anywhere picture quality

    Many variables could be in play. The upload speed where your hopper is located. As well as the download speed/ signal quality of where your iPad was. Whether or not you streamed it versus transferring it to the iPad. The quality selected for the transfer, etc. Going back and playing it on the...

    Unable To Cancel

    Their website is probably in a place now where you can disable auto pay. But cancelling service and getting what you need to send equipment back still seems like an impossible task.

    DISH Hacked - Websites are BACK ONLINE!

    A number of reasons. One being the monthly inconvenience of something or another. The dispute with Disney started a trend of inconveniencing me. I haven’t had a local affiliate since November. Then all of this. And I’m not one of the “99% of the people who didn’t notice.” I couldn’t get into HBO...

    Most of what I have on the web is by choice. What’s not out on the web is my banking information and my SSN.

    DISH Hacked - Websites are BACK ONLINE!

    Hung up after being on hold for an hour and ten minutes. Waiting that long after a call back. I’ve spent so much time trying to cancel this crap, I could have driven to Denver and dropped this sh*t off myself. They’re far from being “back.”

    DISH Hacked - Websites are BACK ONLINE!

    Right? I called Sunday to cancel. They told me to call back to finish it up when things were back up. I called today, chose the option for a call back, and have now been on hold for 30 minutes. All because the number the guy gave me Sunday to “avoid waiting” doesn’t even work. 3 days after I...

    DISH Hacked - Websites are BACK ONLINE!

    It still doesn’t appear they’re able to cancel service yet. I don’t really want to wait on hold all day to find out. The number that retention gave me on Sunday doesn’t even seem to work. And the number to loyalty seems to route me to the same menu as the main number. When you say “cancel...

    When I spoke to retention on Sunday, he told me to call back to finalize my cancellation on 3/26. The number he gave me was (888) 383-2309, but that number doesn’t seem to be working.

    Kind of. I was sent to retention to cancel. All they could do was note my account of the date I wanted to cancel and asked me to call back on 3/26 to “complete” the cancellation process.

    DISH Hacked - Websites are BACK ONLINE!

    My autopay triggered tonight. Even though I called in on Sunday and cancelled my service. I fully expected this to happen since they noted the day I intended to cancel on my account and asked me to call back this Sunday to hopefully complete the cancellation. I guess one way to combat...

    For a popular show like this, it can be hard to avoid spoilers. But, if you played the video game you pretty much knew what was going to happen.

    Watching 4K HDR programing via a 4K Joey

    The Joey 4 came out the same time as the Hopper+. From my understanding some folks were able to get them to work with the Hopper without the Hopper+ and some weren’t. At one point, Dish wouldn’t let you order them without getting the Hopper+. That may have changed. According to many, the...
